Fiesty Takes the Stage

Fiesty takes the stage. She seems to be mumbling something as she walks forward, staff in hand, and looks out at the crowd. As she walks she feels something beneath her bare feet. Looking down, she spies an ordinary pebble on the ground. 

Fiesty Picks Up the Pebble

Inspiration strikes her. She bends down to pick the pebble up and shows it to the crowd. She concentrates on the pebble, noting its smooth shape and earth color. As she looks at the pebble, her staff begins to gently glow with a green light.

Fiesty Waves the Pebble

Fiesty waves the pebble to and fro, as if summoning something. All is still for a moment, then a lone butterfly flies to her, circling her head. Another comes, and another. Soon Fiesty is standing in the midst of a lovely storm of butterflies. She smiles and looks at the astonished crowd. 

A  Lovely Storm of Butterflies

There is a young girl at the front of the crowd. Fiesty waves her forward.  The girl walks timidly forward. Fiesty gives her the pebble. The butterflies now hover over the delighted girl. She stands, dazed at the confusion of butterflies. After a while the girl attempts to give the pebble back but Fiesty gestures for her to keep it.

Fiesty Gives the Pebble to the Girl

The girl walks off and Fiesty almost forgets to check the hat for donations. She looks down and sees a nice amount nestled in the hat. She takes the coins and curtsies to the crowd.
