Rising Conflict: "Channeling The Inner Hero"
It seemed for a time that Peter Walker was going to have a nice but ordinary life. Then came the summer he first met the pixies. It started one day when he was sitting out on the deck eating pizza. He had gone back inside just for a second to get a drink and when he came back outside there was a tiny, winged figure munching on the slice on his plate. She quickly noticed his return and flitted away rapidly.
At first Peter just wanted to brush off the experience as an overactive imagination, but then curiosity got the better of him. He began leaving a piece of pizza out every night, only to find the next morning it was entirely gone. After a few nights, he decided to stay up and wait. His patience was rewarded by the sight of several of the winged figures flying up to feast on the pizza he had left for them. He went out to get a closer look at them, and while most flew away quickly this time one decided to stay when he asked. That night an arrangement was forged in which the pixies would stay and answer questions in return for pizza.
The rest of the summer he would out with the pixies, sharing pizza with them and learning about Faerie and other aspects of the supernatural world. Peter and the pixies became friends, and he ended up helping their community in other ways. Then one day, a week or so before the beginning of the school year, terror came to the neighborhood pixie tribe in the form of a young malk. The faerie predator had stumbled upon the tribe and became determined to hunt them all down and eat them.
When Peter heard about this he knew he could not let that happen to his friends. Giving the pixies sanctuary in his room, he went out with his bo staff to try to convince the malk to leave. But the malk, unwilling to give up his prey, could not be persuaded to go. It in fact threatened to add Peter to that category if he did not invite him inside and let him hunt.
Realizing the only way to insure the long term safety of his friends was to fight, Peter attacked the malk despite how dangerous he knew it was. It was a tough, and vicious fight, but in the end Peter triumphed thanks to his determination and training. Grateful for Peter's defense of them and impressed with his willingness to risk life and limb on their behalf, the pixie tribe decided to make him their Crown Prince. And thus began the next, stranger and more exciting chapter in Peter's life.
