The intelligent, humanoid creatures in clothes of greenery, leaves and cloth looked among each other as three rose in desire of the egg. Three honorable souls of noble hearts and good intentions. Three beautiful individuals with stunning life and beautiful minds. How were they to choose the protector? Such a task! There was no easy to reply to the options that came to them now, and as such, they fairies inspected each very closely. They flew around the heads and bodies of the three equines, pulling at manes, looking in hears and finally huffing all in unison. "Well it is obvious we cannot literally 'see' into their minds," one said with a brief glance of disdain toward Destrier, for no reason in particular. "Did you expect them to be made of glass? They are real too. Just... giants." "Well, no but... - " "Hush!" A leader obviously said. She was crowned with jasmine and thistle around a brunette brow, and clear, blue eyes gazed evenly at the trio. A smile crossed her ruby lips, and she sat on a lower hanging tree branch, meeting them eye to eye. "The God of the Earth protects these forests, but he is away, dealing with matters beyond all of us," she said quietly, her accent soft and gentle. "We need creatures strong than us to take up the mantle of the forest and take care of things that we are unable to do." She looked earnestly into each of their faces. "I will give each of you a task; how you do the task is entirely up to you." Then, she listened to the words of Nayati, nodding solemnly. "Indeed what the pale, spotted mare says is true. Many with ill intentions walk these forests, masked with kindness that does not allow us insight into their hearts. Not often does such a prize come under our protection, but we cannot keep a dragon. We are not made to bond with such creatures, and in order for it to survive, it will require a bond. Nature is both lovely, true and cruel. The egg did not hatch in Birdsong with its brethren, and the parents awaited through Tallsun with no avail. I believe this beauty to be a late bloomer, but none remain to care for it in its infancy." When beautiful flowers made a nest for the egg, the fairy smiled. "Thank you. Now, for your tasks." The fairy looked to Destrier. "Spiders of large size have taken over a part of the forest that they are not supposed to inhabit. They are intelligent creatures, cunning, but not always honest. In spirit, they are warrior spies, shadows with a readied blade. You are tasked with how to handle these spiders." Then, she looked to Sakura. "Child. Some plants thrive in places they do not belong and starve those which do. A pretty, thick vine winds around the trees with a large, pink fruit. You must find a way to rid the trees of these persistent vines, but be wary of the fruit; you may find yourself uselessly giggling if you ingest the tempting morsel. " Finally, the fairy looked to Nayati. "And you, dear. A blight has begun to rot some of the trees from an excess of water. You can see the way the bark falls off and a green mold has begun to grow. Sunlight can aide in burning away the blight, but the limbs to do often allow the sun to shine through. Find a way to allow sunlight onto the trees and then find a way to carefully scrape off the blight. We can only hope that this helps." Destrier, you can reply as if a small group of large spiders (5-8 spiders of roughly knee height) has gathered around a pool of water where scared fish are cowering. An RE will reply with a response from the spiders, depending on what you choose to do. Sakura, the vines can be found on trees. Write a clever way Sakura is able to get rid of the prickly, funny fruit vines. They are thick! Natayi, many things can reflect light. In the area is the remainder of a shard of glass and a small bucket that holds water with a rope handle, easy enough for a horse to carry. Use them wisely! This will close in 72 hours. |
