User blog comment:7-45 Fire/How Fairies came to be./@comment-31892545-20170812030640

I'm so glad you posted; I so enjoy talking about this.

I actually don't remember much about Graynor being the home of the fairies, so I'll only discuss what I do have knowledge of. From what I remember, Graynor is the ancestral home of the fairies. That doesn't necessarily mean they were born from there; maybe fairies just migrated there.

Arcadia is part of the ancestors of Magix - the first fairy to ever be. Season 6 kinda conflicted this with the concept of the Ancestral Fairies, because it makes it seem like fairies and everything in Magix came from the Legendarium, everything fictional. This wouldn't make sense as Acheron is a wizard, and he created the Legendarium, so magic had to "exist" before he created the Legendarium - This point is just confusing and contradicts itself.

Two main schools of thought here -

S1-5 Canon - Arcadia is the first fairy, with the Ethereal Fairies coming after her.

S6 Canon - The Ancestral Fairies being the origins of fairies.

The Great Dragon is the creator of everything, no matter which theory you choose to follow. Can they connect - I can't think of how, because if the Ancestral Fairies are the first fairies, everything we heard about Arcadia is rendered false, so it's really hard to place both of these events. I can only think of Arcadia being an Ancestral Fairy, but I can't think of why Arcadia wouldn't have mentioned it or Nebula wouldn't have connected it to the Winx. Possibly because Arcadia is so obscure; in S2, everyone thought Clariel was the first fairy, so maybe Magix Ancestors are forgotten? Maybe even by Nebula?? Now I'm interested.

For the wands being on Earth, I can't say why. All I can say is that magic is increasing on Earth, and the wands were presumably placed there before the Earth Fairies were stored away, presumably a long, long time ago, so I don't think the wands being on Earth is incredibly outrageous.
