Deep into the woods is a place where the fairies come and play in the sunshine or in the moonlight. It was guarded by some wood nymphs that were kind and enjoyed seeing the antics of the tiny creatures. One day, some wood cutters came to the little meadow and began to cut the trees for fire wood, cabins, furniture and such. The very first one to be cut was an old wood nymph who was in a deep slumber and being old he was slow to wake. He did wake in the end but too late to call out a warning. But the second tree was a middle age wood nymph and he sounded out an alarm.<br/><br/>The frighten woodsmen ran back to the village, screaming all the way about talking trees. Soon the men of the village came with torches to get rid of the talking trees for they must be evil spirits inside the trees. Soon the whole woods was in flames. Screams were heard that made everyone shudder for they sounded very human like. After several days, the woods were burned down to the ground. Nothing was left except a very young sapling hiding in some rocks. The village celebrated the fact that the woods was gone. Soon the began to plant their crops there. The little sapling had to leave for a new woods some where far away.<br/><br/>The sapling was actually a small wood nymph girl. Her name was  Caitlin which meant 'fair' in Gaelic. Caitlin was indeed fair if you can think of a wood nymph in human terms. She slender and very supple in form. She could dance a dance that could make you feel the story that she told in her dancing. She also could stand still for many long hours if there was a human around. She hated humans for what they did to her family and friends.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/200-Creatures/Mythical%20or%20Magical/Wood%20Nymphs-%20Ents-%20ect/woodnymph.jpg">[ img ]</a>
