Chapter 21: Others - John
I used my new senses to avoid any strange smells or unknown noises, which lead me to walk in strange patterns to avoid them. I could tell the trip back was going to be a long one.
After traveling for a while I decided to take a break near an unusually large tree to again gauge my surroundings for danger. I wonder if this is a redwood? It's massive. As I had opted to take the direct path here and back earlier I hadn't noticed it.
I sat next to the two bodies and looked up at it trying to estimate it's height. As my eyes traveled back down it I saw a strange sight. From the bark of the tree, a body started to form. It was tall, maybe only a few inches shorter than me. As it took shape, I noticed it was female.
Finally the body emerged from the tree and before me stood a very well endowed green woman. Her head sprouted long hairlike leaves and vines and her skin smoothed out as she smiled invitingly at me.
I sat there slack-jawed as I stared at the absurdity of this spectacle.
She raised her arms and began to sing.
It was the most beautiful song I had ever heard. I felt like I was feeling the full spectrum of the life cycle all at once. I was transfixed by this beauty and had a tremendous urge to embrace her.
Wait a minute here. This is a damn dryad isn't it and this is an obvious attempt to lure me in. Pervy guy seems to be lured, but I'm not. Though when I look at her just right...
My mind started wondering as I stood up. The dryad licked her lips as I approached.
Nope! I'm not letting this happen. I stopped my heart and went undead. The song lost it's charm and her face turned to one of annoyance as she lowered her arms and glared at me.
"Tsch, oh it's one of you things." She said as gave me the shooing gesture with her hands as if trying to scare off a small animal. The language she spoke in was almost melodic sounding, I'm guessing this was forestkin.
"It's not nice to attempt to eat people you know." I replied in fluent forestkin while taking another step towards her.
Her face changed into a look of surprise, as if she didn't expect me to talk. She seemed to regain herself however and continued to glare at me like I was something gross she had stepped in.
Alright, let's see how she likes this. I restarted my heart.
Her eyes lit up and she smiled widely at me.
I stopped my heart.
She curled her lips in revulsion.
I started my heart again.
Her smile returned as if it had always been there while she licked her lips as if trying to entice me.
I had heard different versions of the dryad story. One was that they were the peaceful and gentle spirits of trees that wanted nothing more than to make the forest flourish.
