Thread: A Fairy's Tale

Lox smiled with out humor or kindness as he listened to the little fairy's reply, and took it as the truth given what he had seen of his creatures depending on the circumstances he took some of them here. She could only see what was in front of her and what he allowed her to of his ideals and plans for the future, and yet it was somewhat hard to speak around the lump in his throat that came with her words. He had been called many things and known for worse but somehow it was painful to be reminded of having a heart that was hidden behind a mask of cruelty. It was far easier to do what must be done and be hated for it than trying to convince others to your path when time was dwindling and danger looming closer and closer, but with a deep sigh he swallowed more tea before he replied to her. It's better to be hated for doing what must be done than loved and watching those beautiful things you love being wiped from the face of the earth.... How many of these creatures in my gardens do you think are all that remains of their kind? His final words were sad, and yet his frame was shaking slightly with what looked like rage as he took another calming sip of his tea before standing and moving closer to the see through wall and gazing out at his garden and the sleepy looking creatures that were just waking for the day. The hell hound isn't just to keep you in line little fairy, and it is a breech of my integrity to speak of my plans for you because it might very well poison you to my end goal but time is short and you have but a few weeks to master all these plants before we depart. Draining the remainder of his tea Lox placed the cup down and was silent a moment as his hands crossed behind his back and he watched the twin water nymphs bath a particularly disgruntled looking deer in the water. There is a continent that for some time has been utterly cursed far out into the sea that can give home to all these creatures a thousand times over. It has portions of every land from desert to forest and due to the curse has been untouched until I came upon it and lifted it to a point but only so much so I can travel there and move all my gardens and spread them out to flourish over the land before completely removing it. There Luca and little to her knowledge the rest of her clan that thought they escaped me will build a new home untouched by man or danger, where Junga can be with her people in the mountains and people the caves and where every horror I have contracted will live freely and devour any soul ignorant enough to try and destroy or steal from these lands. For the plants to flourish even in native land though they need an anchor, and you will serve that purpose for a time until they grow naturally in that land. And for a time when the elves, and the humans, and every manner of society moves to claim that land those rare species will be vulnerable until they can survive on their own. He turned to look at Silvia directly with hard determination before speaking again. The hound is to guard you while you act as anchor until the plants can survive on their own, and while you tend to the plants I shall take all those shadow creatures you feel lurking within my gardens and meet the fools who will try to enslave this new virgin land. Like it or not, by the end of these next few months you may still be a virgin, but you will be mother to an entire land and every single race that will populate it in the years to come. And know simply that others like you will also come and be cast out until I know for certain they won't taint the land against me or do away with species that are unsightly and dangerous. This is my entire life's work little fairy, and I fully intend to give every superior predator or high and mighty king a reason to fear a miserable, short lived human before I pass into the void.
