A Magical Light

A war will coming

Apparently they had said enough about the white ghost woman, because now she raised her hands and without her intervention Casia's right arm moved to her.She wanted to point this out to her companion when she noticed that not only was her mouth taped shut, but she was completely immobile.An invisible force pulled her a few steps closer to the ghost woman. Casia thought it was scary and wanted to fight back. But like a willless robot, she followed Esclarmonde's will.A white tendril glowed on her skin, just where the firefly had traced.Esclarmonde's eyes held her gaze.

"What's your name, my child?" The ghostly voice echoed through Lana's head and instinctively thought the answer that the woman in front of her obviously understood by nodding slightly and even smiling.
"Casia, I chose you to be our ambassador between the plant and human worlds. All your life. "
"Okaaay," she thought without thinking about it, and Esclarmonde tilted her head accordingly, confused.
"What does that mean?"
Casia hurried to ask.
You can talk to any soul being of a plant from now on."
"Every plant is bound to a being?"
"No. That would be too many. A being is responsible for its species within a radius. The older it is, the more responsibility it has and the larger its living space. It's no different to humans. "
"And you are such a being, Donna Esclarmonde?"
"Yes and no. On the one hand, the cypresses and cedars of Europe and Asia are under my protection. Secondly, I am chosen to protect the balance for the flora. As the one I used to be, it is my job to recognize the dangers posed by humanity and, if possible, to prevent them. I am also the chief judge for settling and preventing disputes between the Flora peoples."
"And you need me to stop people's harmful actions? I'm just a young girl with no influence. How am I supposed to do that?"
"Do not worry. You will grow into your ambassadorial task. But at the moment I have other problems. Lekkios and Leschies from the north threaten us."

Casia frowned and fumbled for the two terms in her memory, but they remained unknown to her. "The two races of forest spirits have come together. He knows more details."
Her eyes went to the strange night watchman, then back to Casia.
"We need your help. You have to know, they think deterrence is the best way to stop people from doing anything. "
"Deterrence?" Casia repeated, suspecting nothing good.
"A war against human."
