This is my first fanfic so if there is anything wrong with it please tell
me nicely and I'll try 2 change it.
I only own the four main characters: Mallainwen, Thaliontarmaiel, Dinoran
and Engwasangaien.
Also words in " " is speech and words in italics are thoughts.
Chapter One: nymph vs. dryad
The dryad Mallainwen was of the willow tree that rested beside the Bywater Pool. She was a curious dryad, much unlike her fellow dryads that were further behind her in the forest. Mallainwen would never be invited to join in the dances that occurred under the stars during the night. Thus she was forced to remain by her tree and entertain herself. One evening when Mallainwen was gazing out over the pool a thought came to her. As I have previously explained, she was curious, so cautiously and as quiet as possible for a dryad, (which is very quiet for they seem to glide rather than walk) Mallainwen crept down the hill and sank into the water.
Pleased with herself she started to move further out into the water when what she suspected to be a nymph, emerged and glared at her.
"What are you doing in my waters?"
Frightened, all Mallainwen could manage for an answer was a soft mumble.
The young nymph laughed and dove under the water and surfaced seconds later with a miniature bow and arrows and started to aim and shoot them straight at Mallainwen. In a gesture of protection, she threw up her arms and the arrows melted into them.
The nymph's jaw dropped and Mallainwen, with a new burst of courage started to reach out to her.
"Please, don't lay a hand on me, just go back to your willow!"
"Only if you agree to come to the edge of your pool and talk with me."
"Why would you wish that?"
"I am a lonely Dryad who seeks some company, Please?"
Still uncertain, the nymph slowly nodded her head and started to move forward.
At the edge of the pool, the two started out in a conversation, asking each other questions about their style of life and answering with as much detail as they could manage. The nymph's name, as Mallainwen soon discovered was Thaliontarmaiel, but since she had much trouble pronouncing it, they agreed on Thal as a shorter version.
The two talked through the night and as the neighboring Dryads returned, they were shocked to find that Mallainwen, the youngest and shyest Dryad, was giggling with a nymph. Mallainwen decided to ignore the looks that were thrown her way, and continued on with Thal, discussing ways to escape the torture, (for Thal was also discriminated against by her kind) and move on to a better place.
A/N I know its pretty short, but as its the 1st chapter of my 1st fanfic, I think the next chapters will be better.
