Time to go….
Xylia stood up and stretched. Reaching her hands toward the sky, she smiled. I'm on my way, and nothing can stop me.
Just for the feel of it,she picked up her pack andXylia ran. She took light steps, on the balls of her feet propelling her forward into the air. She loved this feeling! The wind blew her hair behind her, catching every green strand and lifting it skyward.Hers hands were by her sides, bent and pumping, pushing her forward. The trees and wildlife blurred as she picked up her pace.
Two hours later...
Xylia was exhausted, she had run continuously nonstop until she was almost dead tired. She slowed to a walk. From what the sycamore told her fief Naxenshould only beabout nine or ten kilometres from her current location. Naxen, the duke'sson, Gareth was Alanna the Knight-mage's friend. One step closer, but still many more until she was where she should be.
Sitting down, Xylia contemplated the prospect of food. She had found that she had a hard time eating plants or vegtables (A/N Veggies!), Like Daine she had a connections to plants and so our dear Xylia became a serious carnivore, her main food being meat or fish, only rarely did she eat anything that grew from the ground.
(A/N I know I know something has to happen and soon and it will! happen I mean.)
As Xylia walked up the pathway and finally stood at the gates leading into fief Naxen, she was so excited that the trees leaned into her forming a hall of the wild (A/N i couldn't resist) the trees branches touched oer her head and the grass at her feet reached upwards, trying to touch their human cousin. Voices cried out to her
who are you cousin?
what are you?
why are you here?
The Tree Lady graces us with her presence!
Tree Lady? She thought. I am no lady. Just an apple tree in a predicament and not a good one at that. Xylia smiled wryly. She was getting used to this body and though hard to admit it, she loved the freedom it gave her.
Inside the fief servants were running frantically to their lord
'Oh, your grace, your grace-' one stable boy yelled in hysterics.
'There is a very strange girl walking towrds the castle!'a groundskeeper shouted into the hallway
'What shall we do?' a maid ran around in circles trying to calm her nervous energy.
'STOP!' Gareth the younger, who was currently in residence to sort out some harvest problems, shouted into the din. he moved his hands into a questioning gesture,'What is all this ruckus about? Why is there such disturbance to our daily routines? Is this girl so abnormal you must leave your jobs to come and scream to me about it?'
The workers looked shamefaced. So few intersting things happened here, it was Naxen, who ever goes there execpt on special occansion and rarely does anyone worth seeing come into sight of these people.
'Now,as I see we have calmed quite a bit who can tell me,' Gareth the younger paused, 'calmly, who this girl is and why you all are so upset at her appearance?
The groundskeeper stepped forward, 'She is beautiful, her silkyhair green and smoothskin a grey brown, her emerald green eyes sparklewith innocence, full lips,so friendly, almost seemingto open and grace us with sound of her voice. The trees bow down to her as she walks,and the grass rises to meet her feet though she dare not step on it! So strange a girl! Yet alluring in all aspects'
