[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 1839795, member: 4441"] *The woman stirs, looking at the four newcomers, a treant, a dryad, a golden-scaled elephant man with broad wings, and a towering trumpet archon.* "[color=palegreen]You are welcome here, as much as one can be. Sanctuary is yours as well, for what little I can offer. As to what happened, I think I can explain. I was a guardian of the wilderness, a force of nature. I bathed in the Endless Falls so that I would have the power to bring nature's wrath upon those that would despoil her, yet I was also a wife and mother. I had six children and a loving husband. In each of their hearts was a love of the land in all its forms, and around each of their hearts I wove magic of protection. "[/color][color=palegreen]I was arrogant... My children became powerful druids in their own right, like my husband, and they scattered to the far corners of the world to protect it. I though I would be able to protect and defend the world... The gods despise hubris, and fear power that rivals their own, I know this now. The greatest of them conspired together to destroy our world. This I know because some of the lesser gods did not wish our destruction. One of them whispered this to me, before sacrificing his power to keep me alive... There was a magical backlash with all the spells I had cast... and the land upon which my children and husband stood snapped back here to my grove, as they were blasted into nothing...[/color]" the woman pauses a moment here as fresh tears stream down her face. "[color=palegreen]But I do live, as do you. We have been given... a second chance of sorts. I fear what may happen if I leave here, the last of our world may dissolve. And I will not leave what remains of my family. From here perhaps... you who are stronger can determine what to do...[/color]" the woman says haltingly, the tiger turning to nuzzle her face.
