The storm raged on like a midnight Dragon forged by moonlight. Lightening cracked and lit the skies with a ferocious blue and cold white. Waves crashed against the sandy shores of Jinhan. Tarshin held his precious jewel daughter close as the pressured squalls succeeded into the village. The tempest winds had taken hold of Tarshin's home, and shredded the roofing like a barbarian warrior cutting into mortal flesh...He could not wait any longer.
With all hope and divine trust, he squirmed across the now devastated cooking space, and towards the valiant rains. The pelts of sleet and ice bruised Tarshin's back and neck while he headed forth to a thick forest of tall cedar trees. The beast of black clouds continued to attack the two shrouded figures. Tarshin held his remaining family in his arms, she was crying from the constant chaos which had developed from all corners of Nature. As Tarshin ran in his soaked leather hide boots, the clouds of darkness parted. Like an attack from the gods, the mighty clouds, threw forth a white thick string of electricity - striking Tarshin to the ground. He died instantly, and his daughter laid beneath his warm body...
The sun had woken LilCutiePie. It's warm rays of yellow light shone brightly through the forest greens, and blue raindrops from the previous night. She had awaken to a realm and place unknown to her, but she was not afraid. She walked for sometime in the glades of emerald hues and wonderous glories. Flowers bloomed like a secret garden, and weather was splendid and fair. She was only five, but still old enough to realize her father's disappearance. Where had he gone? She thought. Just hours ago she imagined the great storm of the elements, attacking her home and neighbors. Now though, all was lost and forgotten in this magical gathering which she had traveled to...
..Your destiny...is here........................
The voice seemed to travel in infinite directions through the forests, LilCutiePie searched through orchards and meadows, across seas and beaches, mountains and valleys. The voice was not to be found. Lost now and hopeless she sat on the nearby stump of a large Oak tree. She whined seemingly to Heaven with great heaves of sorrow. Her soul cried for knowledge of what had happened, why she was alone and lost in these strange lands...with no signs of reality or humanity.
.. This... is your...Fate....
The light of the sun drew close to her. It was as if the brightest star had fallen from the sky and came directly to her. The white glowing orb shaped from the sun, drifted to form before her. White and silver pulsated and swirled in strands of prism beams. As a celestial being of a Woman stepping forth from the floating puddles of life like lightning, greeted her. The woman was robed in white and silver, reflecting all the beauty and power of the Moon. With a gentle smile and soft touch to LilCutiePie's forehead, the forests melted away and reformed the cold stone walls of a Kingdom...
She remembered the past...her father's death, the enchanted forests...those were a countless number of years ago...by now she was surely the age of eighteen or more. Hetile had taken extreme care of her. After all, she was the one whom had found her, half lifeless in the wooden groves outside of Jinhan. "So...this is where I lay my head to rest for eternity...” she was not excited about the theories of Kingdom, after all, she had grown up in the wilderness almost completely her known life. How could she be contained inside this, prison? Years passed and LilCutiePie learned of Herbs and ancient treasures. Mostly enlightenment from townie Philosophers and Scholars. All this was impressive, and LilCutiePie grew as wise as the Ancient Pines. One day, the a dark man came into the lands, and revealed the worst plagues of nature. LilCutiePie remembered the Storm from her childhood...it kept her Family, her friends, her spirit. This could possibly never happen again, but it seemed the storm had come again in another form...
... Your fate... Your ... Destiny. . .
..As the Darkstaff Shattered into Pieces LilCutiePie fainted and awoke in a Divine heaven. A Woman, vaguely familiar approached her.
"Is this... a Dream...am I..."
No, was the answer of the Great Woman, but she did not speak her words. They resonated across the skies, across the universe. She was the truth, the knowledge of Nature. She had greeted her once before...once as a child. The Woman spoke again...
Now is your time of Destiny,
You have been chosen,
Survivor.
Of One comes forth Twelve.
.. Follow what I teach you...
With all knowledge and aspects of time gone, LilCutiePie sank forward into the arms of the kind Mother before her. The robes of moon white surrounded them both, as they vanished into a devastating, blinding gateway of majestic glory.
As she awoke she found herself alive, and in the hidden groves of the Oak. This place was familiar to her, for she had grown up in these glens. The mysteries of the Dreams she had went further into her soul as she thought about them. The glory which she now saw through her eyes was vast and holy. Every petal of flower about her seemed to want to touch her. The trees bent towards her as she walked along the well covered forgotten paths.
As she ventured into the lands she stopped at a lake. Its surface was still as glass. Mirroring the Sky, the lake took on a new form. She glanced into the water filled hole, and saw the Future of the Earth...the Future of Nature.......
And now began the life of the first Druid....
