The forest was so dark. The dense leaves was so thick, they were prevented the sunlight to warm everything on the surface. Humid and wet. Various creeping things crawl, venomous animals lurk. No weak creature can set their foot on this place. They will perish. Fiery red eyes lurked behind the trees and eerie tendrils of leaves, ready to attack anyone who lost their way. Once beautiful place, lost its guardians. For so long growing without its souls. They have no heart. Monsters watching its prey at all times. All of a sudden a light came in. The scent and warmth they longed for now here. He is here… She is here… They are here to cure this curse. To free the souls... Let them free... Let this forest free...
It's so dark. I can't see anything.Where am I?Am I dead? I barely remember what happened before this."Who are you?" A voice echoed. Very clear to my ears.My heart beats fast. I can't see anything, I can't move."Who is there?" I asked in a low voice. I tried to move. Exerting my strength. Seconds pass and slowly but surely, I could move my hands and my body even a little. And the first object I could reach was something big, cold, and I could feel very slow movements from it. The scent that came from this big hairy thing, hit me as I know who it was. Or who he was.Largo! Oh my God, Largo!I quickly hugged him tightly. We were lying on a surface that felt hard and cold. Largo lay right next to me.“Largo?” I whispered. I groped for everything I could reach. And then I felt that my hand touched something wet on him.“Ugh…” I heard a heavy groan. And that was Largo's voice."My love, are you okay?" I reach and tried to touch his face. But a big hand grabbed my hand. Largo held my pa
I looked around and felt that this place was colder than the Blue Moon forest. I rubbed my arms and my palms together several times to warm myself. So exotic, so strange. This is something I don't usually feel, when I am surrounded by various trees and plants that are supposed to greet and talk to me in a friendly manner.I even felt like they were looking at me cynically and suspiciously.Is Elden Wood really this scary? But I've seen how warm and beautiful this forest is in the past, in my dream at that time. It so different now. I could sense danger everywhere. This must be because of that evil witch, Mira.Yes, Mira. I have to be careful now. She's here. She could harm me or Largo at any time.I remembered Largo and looked everywhere for the Sawang leaf quickly. I hope I find it soon. Largo really needs help.Have I told you that the plants in this forest are so big? You could even say they are giant. I was born and lived in Theta, but I have never seen plants and trees as big as
He is a vampire.. He is a vampire!My brain was running quite slowly because of my shock and now I started to realize it. Does he mean anything bad? Will he attack me?But then I saw him lower his guard. He stood up straight and bent his body slightly.“Greetings…” He stood up straight again and looked at me with a small smile on his face. "My name is Adam Novak." He introduced himself.“I have arrived at Elden Wood a long time ago. Months? Years? I do not remember. But this is the first time I've found anyone else, even another Dryad here.” He said.I could feel that he was sincere. But I still can't just believe it. I can't let my guard down.“Nice to meet you Adam Novak…” I bowed my head. I have to remain polite. He didn't do anything, there's no reason for me not to greet him too.“My… My name is Cyllina Ivybow.” I decided to use my Dryad name. I guess this is fair since he is also a Dryad. But I didn't expect that who responded to me next wasn't Adam.Suddenly the wind blew gentl
“Largo, My Love… Can you hear me?” I cupped his face with my small hands, trying to warm him. He still as weak as before and I tried to clam myself. It won’t help anything if I panic.“If you can hear me, I want you to help me too, okay? Please..." My tears fell down onto his cheek. I took his big hand, squeezed it gently before wrapped it around my waist. My other hand, with difficulty, opened the buttons of my shirt and finally, my front was bare in front of him.Thick tree tendrils had surrounded us, forming a small room, creating this little space for us.“I can't believe we're doing something that you absolutely love to, but here I am, I don't even know what to do.” I'm chukled between my tears.I want to do it but I don't want to hurt him. So I bent down, touched his lips with mine. Our lips met and I pressed it gently. I did everything they ever did to me. The way they usually kisses me, licking and sucking my lips. I do it like the softer way.I kissed him as if to tell him an
Adam Novak I looked around and found a large tree branch but not too high for me to hide. I reached out my hand and one of the tendrils stretched out and pulled me up. "Thank you..." I muttered softly. I stood still, sharpening my eyes to every direction that my sight could reach. This forest felt quieter, they felt more alert. “She is here….” I heard them whispering softly. She? Cyllina? But then the aura that came out from around me said that they weren't talking about Cyllina or that injured Lcyan that was with her. If it’s not her then what my sense telling me was right. They bring something or someone dangerous with them. Are they lost? Cyllina is a half-Dryad. It seemed impossible for them to get lost. There's a big possibility that they're really heading for this place. But what exactly do they bring with them? I took a deep breath. Another half-Dryad? I didn’t know that. I never thought that would be another Half-Dryad. Turns out I'm not alone. I didn't know where Mot
*Lilly*“Cyllina!”I heard the voice from a distance, calling me in a panicked voice.Before my mind tricked me that I was in Luca's comfortable bedroom, my eyes shot wide opened. Because I was certainly very far from home.“Who's that?”I looked up and saw Luca stared between the tendrils gap with his sharp eyes. His body became rigid and tense. I instantly knew he sensed danger was nearby."Luca..." I called him. His hand wrapped around me even tighter, but not in the slightest he would hurt me. His bare chest warmed me, made me cling to him even more.I was still on his lap. Crouching like a baby in his arms. He hugged me all this time and I knew he didn't want to let me go."Someone's getting closer..." His deep voice sounded like a warning. But I knew from my own sense who was running towards our direction.“It's probably just Adam…” I whispered. I leaned my self against him, feeling his chest on my cheek, I could hear his heartbeat when I put my ear to his thumbing heart. I'm so
*Lilly*“Are the plants here always this giant?” I asked Adam, who was preparing the dry branches to become the bonfire. It was getting dark and the cold air was starting to bite our skin. I am a Dryad. The cold forest air usually doesn't bother me. But this place is different. Adam even looked cold too.Luca was not far from us, collecting wood and hunting wild animals that would be our dinner for tonight.“I guess, yeah.” Adam nodded. He gathered the firewood, piled it together, and started making a fire.We decided to rest in a fairly open area. According to Adam, it is better to avoid places under those giant plants because they could become meat eaters if we are careless.I shuddered when I remembered what happened with that orange bird this afternoon.We haven't talked about Mira since then. At that time, I just answered him with a nod and waited for his response.I was relieved because he didn't seem angry when we had brought the Dark Witch here. He said, "Good. She's here. Now
