Elise -Treon Maiden-
Narrated by Elise
We are leaders of the lost, who devote themselves to the ways of spring. We don't like to be seen by almost anyone. Unless we are being aggressive for a reason to cause anger. I wander my forest looking for children who are in distress. Not just human or human like children. I will aid child animals caught in traps or injured in hunts. For this reason I am considered a taboo and other Treon Maidens avoid me.
The word Treon is an ancient word for tree in the culture of the planet Earth. The tree is the universal symbol of a forest because it is a guardian and there are many. I'm guessing that is how my race became associated with the title.
Speaking for my people, we are powerful forces of nature and we know many forms of magic. All plant or nature related magic of course. My favorite method is to teleport from tree to tree. Also I command the creatures like a society and not an army. The magic of that nature is to be able to communicate with any animal or being of Lost.
Our physical looks are dark flesh with plants growing here and there. I have plants growing on my head. Also I have grass growing in an unmentionable place, no details needed. Our tattoos that illuminate when we use magic are not ink. They are images of our souls. I have nightshade flowers and wings myself. The significance of our marks is that of our personality. Words could not describe us better.
The Skelters are the main enemy of the Treon Maidens. They are basically us but on the opposite side of the coin. For they are the beings who govern Fall. I have killed a few of them who tried to bring Fall into my area of the world. They fear me, and they don't fear anything.
Dryad
Narrated by Garden
This race is rather terrifying and aggravating. They are one of the highest ranked races of plants. They are lethal in battle and much more arrogant than any race I know. To compare their status, they are like the brother to the king without heirs.
Their one weakness is if you kill their tree they will die. Which is why when they are born from the trunk of the oak tree. The baby is taken across a galaxy and it's location is never spoken of. The method of the tree giving birth is a Dryad places a special seed inside. 5 Earth months later Dryads gather to welcome the new baby. I have witnessed this ritual, I know of no ceremony more spectacular. To honor a child coming into the world. The tree is given immortality of age to one day be bigger than a red wood. The only way to kill it is to chop it down.
Now back to the arrogance thing. Since they are unkillable and vastly powerful. One of them might walk up to a king and knee him in the gut. At the end of the day they could be thinking what other king could I assault for something to do.
Their powers are vast in possibilities but have 2 deliveries. Their breath or off a piece of oak touching their body.
As for ways to slow them down one might think fire. But depending on fire to be your ace in the hole. It is like shooting a bebe gun at a giant oak tree. Darkness is the one thing you can do to slow them down. But they still can't be killed.
Now they keep to themselves though. Finding a oak tree here and there. There was one poor guy who picked a fight with a princess. I saw his death and it was horrific. She blew her breath on him and in moments a tree grew from inside his body. Ripping flesh and bone apart as it grew. They told me his soul was in the tree. Which was like forever being nailed to the same wall.
