Seal does a little dance. "What do you think the legs are for?"

Permalink

"Oh! Of course. Sorry, it has been a very long time since mine have not been a tree trunk. Still getting used to it. Now, if you follow me, I can take you straight to Great Oak, the tops of my leaves have a great view."

She skips out of the water, hoping her new friend follows.

Once ashore, Michael take a moment to gleefully tackle Ariadne.

She goes with the flow of the roll, landing both of them back on their feet, another vine coming out of the jungle to wrap around them securely.

"Hold on tight, we're about to go very fast."

The vine pulls them so very fast through the jungle, weaving through the brush expertly before they make it to a very large oak tree.

"Fight?" She seems to contemplate something, before she comes to the conclusion that it is like aggressive playing. She gets a mischievous glint in her eye before a surprise vine grabs Seal by one leg and holds him upside down.

Permalink

He gets sparkly again, his leg slipping out of the vine. Suddenly he's behind the nymph, his arms wrapped around her.

Permalink

She laughs, this 'fighting' is very fun. She poofs in to a pile of leaves at his feet, reforming only a foot away using the same leaves she had become.

Permalink

Suddenly in their midst is a naked, painfully blond girl glowing like a goddess. "And who might this be, Michael?"

Permalink

"Hi little girl. I'm Ariadne!"

She waves at the newcomer excitedly, hoping its a new friend.

Permalink

"And you got here... how?"

Permalink

"I've always been here, I was just napping in Great Oak. Do you have a name? Seal has a name, he's very fun!"

Permalink

Well, the girl has some sense. "I'm Moira."

Permalink

"Nice to meet you Moira. I was just about to show Seal the view from the top of Great Oak." She gestures to the oak tree behind her. "Do you wanna join?"

Permalink

"Kay," she starts hovering. "Need a lift?"

Permalink

A tree branch manipulates itself like a bench and picks her and Seal up.

"Got my own."

The tree branch reaches up to the top of Great Oak very fast, though not imperceptibly so, just fast for a tree branch. It drops them lightly on to some solid leaves to look at the awesome view.

"Seal and I figured out, I'm not a Miracle, I'm basically a plant that looks like a girl. I eat sunlight and only need oxygen to metabolise it. I'm a Hamadryad, and Great Oak and I are one. I am the protector of the plants. But yes, I think its cool." She takes a second to concentrate and grow an apple. "Snack?"

Permalink

A horrible thought strikes her. "Aren't apples, like, plant ovaries?"

Permalink

"..." She hands the apple over, making another and promptly taking a bite. "Doesn't feel like someone's biting my ovaries. So no. And besides, Great Oak's don't come from seeds, only normal trees. My Tree is birthed from the ash of my mother, its a Dryad thing I think."

Permalink

"Very." She shakes off the mildly horrifying thought thoroughly, and turns to Seal. "Any particular fruit you'd like, I could probably make anything. Except lemons, they aren't actually naturally occurring, a whole thing to do with citrons and hybrids."

Permalink

A whole bushel appear over his shoulder.

"Can do!"

Permalink

He messily starts eating them. "Wish we noticed you sooner," he says with his mouth full.
