A Faeries Love

... solid substance to him. Faeries and some other forest entities could feel him, but most could not - humans couldn't even see him. Bael lived in the heart of the Great Tree - the oldest and largest tree in the very center of the forest. The tall Bael lightly caressed her cheek with his wrinkled hand. Then she stepped back a distance to let him work. Bael reached into the pouch he carried around his waist and pulled out some glittery powder that Tra' syl could only guess was some magical concoction, and he sprinkled it over the slain humans face. "Loc nor auk man ote se dose!" he chanted multiple times, waving his gnarled oak staff over him as he spoke. The stone in the top of the staff began to glow, getting brighter and brighter, until even Tra' syl had to look away. Suddenly the human opened his eyes! Tra' syl clapped her hands with glee - her human was alive! But the man was thoroughly confused. "Wh-what's going on? Who are you?" he said, looking at Bael. "Easy, my son. You have had a bad experience. You died fighting the fire and I have brought you back," Bael said. "Brought me back? What do you mean? Who are you anyway?" he said, even more confused. Bael explained that he was the Guardian Spirit of the Forest and that Tra' syl, the tree faerie, had asked to bring him out of the Great Blackness.

First, they will probably think you are completely mad, then they would more than likely think you are in league with the Dark Forces and kill you. But in the process, you will expose us and destroy everything. Other humans have exposed our kinds in other forests, and they have been wiped out and the forests destroyed. I cannot allow such disaster to befall our home." "Bael, Great Guardian Spirit of the Forest, I solemnly swear that I shall not reveal anything about you or any other entity of these woods to anyone, ever. I thank you for bringing me out of the Great Blackness, and I thank you Tra' syl for rescuing me." Tra' syl, upon hearing her human friend, realized that the magical dust that Bael used to revive him also allowed her to understand his words! "I can hear you!" she exclaimed excitedly. "And I can hear and understand you too Tra' syl!" he said, shocked. "Yes, that is another thing... you will be able to talk to the animals, spirits, and creatures of these woods as if they were human like you. So do not be caught conversing with any of them," Bael said. "I ...
