Heart Flower Faeries

Heart Flower Faeries are a species of insects that ressemble fairies. 
== Reproduction ==
Heart Flower Fairies are a biological oddity, they are seemingly born from sprinkling Vascul mushroom spores onto a recovery heart. They have a close relationship with Lyrean Elves, possibly to the extent of being a part of the symbiotic relationship, the Lyreans share with the Heart Flower. 
== Properties ==
Heart Flower Fairies have several unique characteristics in relation to the Heart Flower. 
=== Fairy dust ===
When used by a Lyrean Elf, the dust will repair six emptied fullhearts. 
== Role in the recovery heart life cycle ==
The role of faeries in the life cycle of recovery hearts is poorly understood. 
=== Pollination theory ===
The purpose of the faeries on heart flower life cycle is unknown, but it is theorized that they serve as pollinators, akin to the pollination work bees do for flowers in the wild.
=== Seeder theory ===
Another theory is that where faeries die, a stump will appear, priming the growth of a new heart flower.
=== Mind control theory ===
A darker theory is that the mushroom sprinkling task is the heart taking over its new host's mind and forcing it to continue the reproductive cycle. No other species besides Lyre Elves perform this task, leading to the speculation that fairy dust has a similar function of that of cordyceps fungus.
