the dryad's story 2

alone in the world

She leans back more upon the soft moss, thinking over the weeks past.
"How could I have been forgotten about?" She pondered over to herself. "I was only in a darkness. There was nothing else to it. Could it have had some powers I am unaware of? Perhaps those humans know something about this... creature that took me?"
She gave a heavy sigh and shrugged it off. There was no sense in dwelling over the past. Victor clearly was not to be hers. He had forgotten all about her. Clearly with the aid of that thing that had taken her so long ago.
He had moved on to a new love. She will simply try to move on as well. It should be fairly easy, no? Tree spirits only feel Empathy to a degree, right? She should be able to move on in her ways as before.
She smiled as the flutterbys flapping their wings silently around her, lifting her hand gently so as to allow them to land upon her index finger.
"You remember me, don't you little one?" As it sat there, moving its wings open and closed slowly. Its bright orange with stark black lines shining against the sunlight of the morning. They sat there just like that for a ling while.
Hours past and she paid no mind to how the day traveled past her. The sun moving around its path in the sky above her.
"Where has the day gone to?" She whispered as she now stood up and smoothed out her clothing. She looked around the woods she had been lounging in all day, looking for a place to sleep for the night. She could change back into her willow form and be done with all this silliness, but she had no real easy way of returning to this lovely humanoid form Riona helped her to shape. She shook her head of brunette locks and smiled as she began to walk along the stream.
Before long, she found a building that seemed almost abandoned, yet still in use all at the same time. "How odd, these human creatures tend to be... they creatures structures out of my beloved trees and then leave them all alone."
She walks around the outside of it carefully, glancing it over before she finally decided to take a peek within. If anything, it shall be a place to slumber for the night. She would be able to stay hidden from the human creatures she was told to be careful of.
The building inside had some places that were clearly used for sleeping in. "Still being used, I see." She pulled some blankets and pillows over to a window and set herself up for bed. Then played with some of the ivy vines hanging just under the windowsill. It replied to her by growing in such a way to cover and hide her, should anyone appear while she slumbered so.
