Maeve<br/>
428<br/>
Maeve is a forest sprite dwelling, as expecting, within the forest. The one she lives in she protects, and while no one has seen her many believe there is a forest guardian dwelling within the woods, protecting the land. She is connected to the land of the forest as much as the forest is to her, therefore if one were to die, the other would in turn.<br/>
She is a very kind and quite sprite, living in the solitary of the forest and watching over it. In the past her protection of the forest land caused neighboring villages to prosper when it came to agricultural needs. Crops growing far faster than they should, and without any rotting or dying. Over the years though with the increased modernization and humans greed to conquer the land of the forest and destroy it, the forest as well as it's guardian, Maeve have focused on survival, and led to her own lack of trust in humankind as the majority of them now continuously try to destroy her forest.<br/>

<br/>
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~​</div><br/><br/><br/>On an average day, the growing pollution from the modernizing towns around the village were easy enough for the woodland guardian to take care of. Living within and as part of the enchanted forest, Maeve who was it's legend guardian and caretaker. She'd dwellled within the forest for centuries now, growing with it as it continued to grow strong. In recent decades however, there was an influx in the human's greed for expansion and land, and along with their recent growth in industrialization and modernization, they began to attempt to take down the forest the rumored forest spirit resided within, just like many other forests they had already razed to the ground for their own purposes. Whether the people attacking the forest believed in the spirit or not was debatable, some did, many however, did not. Their believe in such a spirit had decreased over the years, despite the being having once been honored like a sort of deity many decades ago, regardless of the fact no one had yet to see it.  Many of course claimed to have over the years seen her, but contradicting stories of what she even looked liked only further proved her lack of sightings.<br/><br/>Hardly anyone ventured into the forest, or rather deep enough into it to have a chance of seeing the spirit, if they even believed such a being existed. The forest was rumored to be even more dangerous than others, due to the fact of how easily people got lost in it, and more 'enchanted' and unknown species of growth and animals. These however all of course equally resided deep into the heart of the forest, where no human feet had stepped foot on, or if they had, then they'd never made it out of the forest to give any confirmed sighting and stories.<br/><br/>Recently, Maeve was forced to venture further from the center of the forest, due to the constant assaults on the perimeter of the woodland. Traditional tools like axes and knifes had absolutely no effected on the enchanted trees of the forest, and those gathering to conquer the land were growing ever more advanced in their methods, actually starting to be able to inflict damage on the land. A most recent attack that was some sort of chemical acid that burned away at the trees forced Maeve to venture closer to the edge in attempts to heal the damaged area, as well as strengthen the perimeter all around. The acidic chemicals and gases didn't only affect the trees they touched however, but also Maeve, as she was connected to the forest the same as it was to her.<br/><br/>While she managed to repair some of the damage taken, she wasn't able to disappear back into the depths of the center of the forest in hiding before she ended up passing out, her body affected and weakened in resemblance to the weakened trees. Her chest restricted and became tight, as breathing became almost exhausting for her. It wouldn't be for a few hours later that she was awoken by a voice, golden eyes fluttering open as she regained consciousness. It took her a moment to register her surroundings, but upon realizing a human was close to her, she suddenly was fully awake, eyes snapping wide open as she jolted up and distanced herself from him. Now moving away from the tree she had been leaned up against, features resembled some types of antlers were clearly protruding from her head, as were the leafy looking dress she wore appear half attached and apart of her body. The moment she moved however, do to her weakened state she lost her balance and stumbled over, hands catching herself on a nearby tree to keep herself standing as she eyes the human warily "you shouldn't be here."
