Lady in the Woods Part I
 |
Tayler the Wanderer was walking at the edge of the forgotten wood, when he happened upon a path that led into the forest. Unbeknownenst to him, something of great evil was watching him in the distance. |
 |
Tayler the Wanderer decided to take the path, for he had never adventured in this wood before. |
 |
He journeyed for a couple days, when he noticed something in the distance. |
 |
Tayler the Wanderer snuck up to the
curiosity, taking great care not to be noticed. "Gasp!" he thought to himself, "It is a fairy, I have never met one before, it doesn't look dangerous, I shall go up to it." |
 |
"Goodday, oh maiden of the wood." said Tayler the Wanderer, "I am Tayler the Wanderer.I have never gazed upon one of your kind before. May I ask what your name is?" "Goodday to you too, kind sir. My name is Faylinn." said the fairy. |
 |
"You look famished." said Faylinn, "Eat this special fairy food." |
 |
"It is delicious!" exclaimed Tayler in
between chewings. |
 |
Suddenly, Tayler the Wanderer
experienced a dizzy feeling from within his stomach. "Something is wrong." said the sick wanderer, "I am not feeling well in my digestion chamber." |
 |
Quick as a fox, Faylinn grabbed
Tayler's sword. "Ha ha fool!" laughed Faylinn, "That was an enchanted moss I gave you. I am your master now, you shall be my guard and follow my every command." |
 |
"Your clothings are dumb, you will
wear this now so you will be pretty, like me." said Faylinn. Tayler the Wanderer was under the power of the spell, so he was helpless and could not talk. |
 |
"Good, now you look exquisite, perfect for someone who will protect me." said Faylinn. |
 |
"Now, I must get rid of these stupid wings and get back into my regular attire." said Faylinn. |
 |
Faylinn revealed her true form, she
was an evil shape shifting witch. |
 |
"Now, let us test you on how well you follow my commands." said the evil shape shifting witch, "Go over there and lick the bark off of that tree." |
 |
Tayler the Wanderer was helpless to resist her command. He licked the nasty tree. |
 |
"This is what you'll eat from now on." said the witch, "Nasty, rotten, tree stump." |
 |
Tayler the Wanderer ate the bark that the evil shape shifting witch gave him. |
 |
"I don't like the look of that dead tree." said the witch, "Push it down." |
 |
Tayler the Wanderer tried, with all his might, to push over the dead tree. It would not budge. |
 |
"You will be punished." said the evil
shape shifting witch, "Lay down over that mud hole so I may cross it without
getting my robe dirtied." Tayler the Wanderer laid down in the mud. |
 |
The evil shape shifting witch walked on Tayler. |
 |
The witch made sure she mashed Tayler the Wanderer's face into the ground in order to punish him for not pushing over the dead tree. |
 |
Tayler the Wanderer rose from the
muck. "Clean yourself up!" yelled the witch, "I do not want to be seen with such filth." |
 |
"Stay close to me, I do not want any
more mishaps form you." said the evil shape shifting witch. Tayler the Wanderer walked closer to her. |
 |
"I will show you were you will sleep." said the witch, "Your lucky it is not a bed of thorns." |
 |
"Lay down here." commanded the evil
witch, "This pile of rocks will be your bedding." Tayler the Wanderer laid down on the pile of jagged rocks. He only had a few leaves to shield him from the bitter winds. |
 |
The witch kicked him in the stomach. "Goodnight." she said. |
