Earthen Deity

Athilea Majiri

             It was time again, and Athilea hated it. There wasn't any use of these people coming to her home and disturbing the creatures she gaurded to praise her existance. She thought of it as nothing but pointless. She was not about to leave her creatures, actually companions, here to rot just to ensure that these mortols were able to eat for another year. She felt nothing towards the human race, the destroyers of nature. Greedy creatures that wanted nothing more then to eat and fornicate.

              Yet they came a prayed to her as though she were a goddess, when she was really nothing more then an elemental. She was a creature of nature just as those she looked after. Somehow they had found her hiding place and turned it into a temple by caring into the tree, like that would really make her happy. There was nothing she could do though, they were fools, all of them, and if she had her was she would kill them all.

             Nature was her element, the place she was given birth from. She was known as many things, and one of those was a dryad though that was not what she truely was. Her soul purpose was not to look over a single tree, but to look over all of one particular forest. She had also heard the tearm Mother Nature used to describe her, but that was not true either for nature was her mother as well as theirs. That was often a fact that Athilea like to overlook though.

             Athilea wasn't even her given name, but it was what these mortals liked to call her. It mattered naught to her in the end because all she wanted was for these nauseating humans to leave her home. Luckily she had fomulated a plan that would allow for such a thing to be done.
