In a fantasy world where enchanted creatures such as faeries exist, I'lon, a young Black Faerie girl, has the power to bless people when they do good for others. As a Karma Faerie, it is her duty to bless people, but she finds herself in another realm, alone and isolated. I'lon is faced with the decision of whether to use her powers and risk losing them forever or to hold back and not be able to help others.
This is the core of the story. The Karma Faerie — the one who blesses people when they do good — is the artist's vision of what every person should be. But the faerie is alone. Isolated. And the choice is: use your powers and risk losing them forever, or hold back and not help. This is not a simple choice. This is the choice of becoming. Do you give what you have, knowing you may be emptied? Or do you hold, knowing you are safe but the people you could have helped are not?
The story answers: you give. Even when you don't have enough, you still give, because you will still be rewarded. Giving is its own reward.
In this realm, there is the Gastonia wings, who live off of the faeries' powers and convince them that they are needed to fly. The wings can take the memories of the faeries when they are removed, and they can then live as the Snap Dragon flowers and Trotter Trees. I'lon is also subject to the Ligthousa ritual, where her powers are removed until the new ones are called at the ritual.
There is a prophecy: I'lon has incredible powers and will end the turmoil caused by the Gastonia wings, the Trotter Trees, and the faeries. The story focuses on I'lon's family unity, determination, and patience, as well as the importance of giving even when you don't have enough, because you will still be rewarded.
As I'lon grows older, she begins to realize that her connection to the forest is not just a childhood fancy, but that she has been blessed with the power of The Magix — a rare and powerful ability that only a select few possess. With this power, she can control the elements, summon creatures, and even bend time and space to her will.
As she approaches her 16th birthday, I'lon's mother, Nanita, prepares her for the trials that would determine her place in the world. The day of the trials arrives, and I'lon sets out to retrieve her twin brothers, Arnie and Pryter.
As she enters their room, she is confronted by a magically shifting landscape. Despite the challenges, I'lon manages to retrieve her brothers and lead them to safety in the Trotter Forest.
But their journey is far from over. The Trotter Trees, ancient and powerful beings that guarded the forest, had been disturbed by the presence of outsiders. I'lon and her brothers were ambushed by the trees, and I'lon was forced to use her powers to defend them. She summoned lightning and changed the Trotter Trees into Snapdragon flowers, saving her brothers and earning the respect of the forest.
With the trials behind her, I'lon and her family attend the Ligthoosa ritual, a ceremony that recognizes her as a wielder of The Magix. But during the ritual, I'lon has a vision of her mother and father flying without any wings, and she recognizes the Trotter Forest in the vision.
I'lon and her family went to the Trotter Forest, where they encountered the Snap Queen. During the confrontation, I'lon got bumped by the Queen Snap, disappearing into a portal. Her parents used their powers to protect her and crashed into the archway, both collapsing into the orb.
This is the full arc of becoming. The Karma Faerie who blesses people when they do good. The one who gives even when she doesn't have enough, because giving is its own reward. The one who faces the choice of using her powers or holding them — and chooses to give. The one who enters the portal and is transformed. The one whose parents crash into the orb to protect her, and through the crashing, they too are transformed.
This is the artist's vision of the gallery. Every visitor is a Karma Faerie. Every visitor faces the choice of giving their emotional energy — of standing before the artworks and absorbing and becoming — or holding back. And the gallery's answer is: you give. You stand. You absorb. You become. Because giving is its own reward. Because the wings never leave. Because the path may be long and steep, but through the walking, the heart becomes pure and true.
