The Evergreen was booming and beaming with eternal cheer as one of the Fae Lords of the Heartswood was getting married. To a human!
"The Erlking marries out of Love! Rejoice for good times and prosperity are a-coming!

This could be heard throughout The Evergreen and it's myriad of races that called the trees home, and if it's said three or more times, it must be true right? The Great City of Nel Almari, a magical beacon of Elf ingenuity and the cooperation between the different races, was hosting an envoy of humans for the first time in centuries. Between the merriment and all the joyous energy being released, one might not have noticed a certain individual's awakening. No, not the druids, not the nature shamans and most certainly not some of the other Fae. With a small pulse of power, the old rotted and decayed wood Dryad opened his eyes, taking in the small glitters of light that penetrated the shadows of this most sacred grove, his resting place, The Dying Tree.
There was once a large and beautiful tree and underwent something new and different, changing its nature. It was dying.
There was once a dying tree and it wept for it though no one would weep for it in return. Indeed No One wept.
There was once a dying tree and it wept for it though no one would weep for it in return. Indeed No One wept and yet it was wrong.
There once a dying tree and it wept for it though no one would weep for it in return. Indeed no one wept and yet it was wrong for No One did weep. No one was sad, taking form as the dying tree's shadow, upset that it would no longer cast it and together they wept for the other. For one could no longer live without the other.
It slowly creaked and cracked, ancient nature energies returning to it's old and rotten body, roots having grown out in all directions, as it slowly separated. It began to assume one of it's more favorite forms, that of a lithe Elf with beautiful green eyes and long flowing black hair, leaves of various colors from red and orange, some yellowish and brown began to fall out from all around the grove to form a dress of autumn. "I'm awake.." it muttered.
