In the endless woods of the endless world a beautiful, a young maiden
walked slowly, her sensitive ears hearing every sound. A soft breeze
rustled her long, brown hair, that was only slightly visible from under her
cloak, as it did the leaves on the mighty trees surrounding her. Her
purple, velvet dress flowed with her lithe form as she lightly tread over
the vivid green grass. The woman's pale skin was almost as ghostly as the
white coat of the horse who walked next to her. She looked up at the canopy
lying over her head, after her companion started feeling the excitement and
desire that was associated with this place of eternal life, seeing the rays
of the sun create constant spotlights on the ground beneath her feet. As
she reached out and touched the neck of the creature beside her, the
horse's excitement was calmed, as her touch was comforting and soft. A
little while longer they walked, letting the sun lower its position in the
sky, creating an ethereal feeling and appearance as the golden light mixed
with the darkening sky, but the maiden was perfectly comfortable in her
element. She walked on unassumingly.
But her steps quickly faltered as she and her companion stopped before a special tree. An ancient tree. It was the largest of the lot, standing well over five hundred feet above the heads of the others. A clearing around its roots gave the impression that the others were almost intimidated by its greatness and power. She continued walking towards the tree, stepping out into the open meadow that seperated this tree from the others. As twilight neared and they sky turned its shade to a darker blue, a few minor lights started appearing under the great trees boughs. But a few moments later, the lights grew in number until everywhere she walked there was a light by her side. The woman's companion snorted happily at the sight of the flying illuminations. Though the sky drew dark, the young woman did not lose one step for she, too, had a pale light emanating from her.
Holding out her finger, inviting a tiny light, the young woman smiled. The creature landed, almost weightlessly, allowing her to get a closer view as its wings stopped beating. A soft, blue light was emanating from the small faerie, temporarily giving the horse's coat the same color. Kissing the creature's head very gently, that blue light greatly grew. He giggled lightly and flew off, receiving a fond smile from the woman. As the maiden resumed her haunt and stepped near the great tree, its boughs lowered, welcoming the company. The horse turned back, worrying her but, as it quickly came back, another smile graced her lips. A little yellow faerie rested on top of the creature's twisted horn. She laughed and the small being flew toward her, brushing her hood back leaving her pointed ear exposed. She giggled and flew away, as well. The immortal walked up and, as she neared the tree, she reached out a thin arm and touched its trunk. The energy that passed from one being to the other uplifted her spirit, giving her renewed hope in her time of need. She sat down between of its protruding roots and rested her back against the tree, the unicorn followed suit. It was a few hours before the celestial light of the moon guided her home.
