The Luminous Fairies and Mothra (発光妖精とモスラ Hakkō yōsei to Mosura) is a serialized novel written in 1961 by Takehiko Fukunaga, Shinichiro Nakamura, and Yoshie Hotta. It marks the first appearance of Mothra in any form of media, and was the basis for her debut film of the same name. It was originally serialized in Weekly Asahi, and republished as a paperback in 1994.[1]
Plot
An expedition to a quiet island in the South Pacific by a group of Rolisicans finds a marvel of modern science living among a native tribe. The presence of numerous tiny fairies called the Airenas (アイレナ Airena), who follow and adore their goddess, Mothra. The expedition steals away the fairies, unaware that they have angered the island's goddess. Mothra hatches and travels to Japan, eventually metamorphosing into her adult form, and then flies to Rosilica, destroying New Kirk City and rescuing her fairies, before returning to the island to live out her life in peace.
