In the shadows of two of the tallest peaks in the mountain range, rests the land known as the Forbidden Dale. The forested path that winds down out of the mountains is steep and treacherous to those who do not know it's dangers. The mountains meld into rolling foothills - filled with broad gentle slopes, long narrow ridges, and miniature valleys. Vegetation of all sorts is abundant and the runoff of all the surrounding hills funnels into a long, narrow lake in one of the largest valleys. Beyond the undulating and green foothills resides a dark and deep forest; the trees are so dense that it is dim even in the light of day.

 It was once dry(ish), it was once hunger-less, it was once a simple existence for Aileen. She was an apple tree. Okay, well, not exactly: She was the spirit of an apple tree. Her purposes had been simple then: Collect sunlight, turn it into glucose, feed, and grow. The Dryad had been stuck on repeat, a half-slumber state, but all this changed when (after much time of this routine), she heard something, felt some sort of calling: "Aileen. You have been given a great responsibility. You have been given the calling of defending this forest. But to accept this role you have been given, you must first awaken." The voice was peaceful, comforting, but also new. This wasn't in the sprite's usual routine, and little did she know that the instant before her calling befell her would be the last moment of predictable routine she would ever have. What did the divine voice mean by 'awaken'? Wasn't she already awake? Nothing could have prepared her for the few instants afterwards. From the outside, it looked as if a fairly young apple tree in a tiny clearing in the large, dark forest of the Forbidden Dale was taking on a shape, one able to be likened unto an equine, before the bark faded, revealing a youthful mare. She was light mocha color mostly, her croup was fawn flecks on marble, everything looking like a normal equine except her tail: Her tail was formed from a myriad of blossoms (some of them at the base already becoming green leaves). The forest sprite blinked her new earthen eyes, all of this so new to her, unsure of what happened in the last few moments, until she looks behind her and sees a shape. Her eyes clear of grogginess, and she sees that the medium-sized apple tree that she had just emerged from was the very same place she had spent all those years in silence. Her ears twitched, listening to the sounds of the forest, the encouragement of the other tree-spirits. Aileen subconsciously knew all of how to use her new limbs and senses, so she started off on an easy walk around the woodlands, watching, wondering why the gods had tasked her with this. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with this dark, lush forest, right? |
