Xylows live in the tall forests, away from any human contact. If any humans dare enter, they will never come back out. There was once peace between the two species. Xylows helped humans and shared their knowledge with them. Several generations pass and slowly the humans became greedy, cutting down the trees the Xylows lived in, stealing from them. The Xylows weren't going to stand back and let them take their home and gifts, so they decided to fight back. The war between Xylows and humans lasted several months, several lives were lost. In the end, the Xylows managed to win and declared that for any human to step into their forest to be killed on the spot.
100 years later peace remained, humans don't dare enter the forest. Stories of the war have become lost and forgotten by man, as if their minds were erased of the existence of the tall creatures. Xylows however never forgot and remain by their word to kill any human who enters the forest.

2017- N/A
(Old Summary ) Lisa was a lonely kid. Her classmates thought she was a weird person. They say she talks to herself, but is it true?
After drawing this around Christmas, I wanted to create a story about a little girl that befriends a monster. But I wanted to make the story to be about growing up. The monster is really an imaginary friend.
Lisa the little girl, liked being alone in her own little world with her imagination, she didn't make the effort to make friends, the kids around her would think she was odd and avoided her.
I'm still developing what I would like this story to become, it'll take many drafts to be satisfied but that's how many stories start.
Lisa is always in her own little world. She was orphaned at 6 years old and remains with caregivers. She uses her over imagination to distract herself from the outside world. She sees the world cruel and unfair. She isolates herself from other kids, she doesnt need anymore people to abandon her.
Lisa is someone who tries their best to befriend everything. She names all her plush animals and inanimate objects.
At the time of writing I have not given the monster friend a name, but he is very shy. He is very fond of flowers and would pick them.
