{•}--{ Arrow of Protection }--{•} Forest spirits... Those who got to see them know; Each of these caring women holds nature to their heart, not daring to let down their guard on what they call their home. How rare it is to spot them, to be graced by the protective presence and radiating warmth. They are known for being attentive, watching closely over each step taken within their reach. Sometimes, a traveler stumbles upon their village in accident. It's never on purpose, finding out about a place that's hidde from sight near most people. Welcoming gazes drift towards those who seem to be lucky, aside from one.. Her eyes narrow almost immediately, and the grip around her bow tightened briefly. She appeared to be.. sceptical.

——>< Like Whispers in the Wind ><—— Not much is known about the graceful guardians of nature, forest spirits full of secrets and stories untold. Barely anyone gets to see them, and those who do hold their secret forever. Why tell the world of protectors that watch over everything in their reach, when it could always bring them danger? Some might be wary of these loving hearts, yet they mean no harm. They never did. All they do is guard what they love, what they call their home. You caught but a glimpse of her upon first laying eyes on her. A young woman, her dress as white as her hair, elegant fabric moving with her every step. When her blue gaze locked onto yours, her eyes widened in a wave of surprise before turning to hide among the trees.

><•> A true Healer of Nature <•>< Amidst the trees, shielded from the outside world, lies a village. At least it looks like one. Scattered across the area are various types of smaller buildings, houses used for many things. The sound of flowing water is to be heard, and with each step the magic grows. Elegant figures wander past, standing together in groups or watching over different parts of whatever surrounds this place. They're forest spirits, taking care of the many aspects that come side by side with nature. The gazes they show you seem friendly, welcoming and warm. Among them, a dark-haired woman catches your attention. She appears to be in a hurry, not noticing the visitor within their midst. Her dark dress flows effortlessly after her every step, a hint of mysteriousness accompanying her. Despite her walking speed, you decide to follow, curiosity piqued.

><>•>The Essence of Life<•<>< Deep within the forest, where stories are woven and tales take flight, nature's guardians keep watch over their home. These elegant spirits never neglect their duties, caring for what they're bound to. With the elements as their guides, earth, air, fire, water and more spin their protective shield around everything within their reach. Through their home village, close to the forest's core, a gentle stream of water flows. It fills the air with tranquil sounds, lightening the atmosphere with it's quiet splashes. To its side, a young woman spends her time. Each subtle reflection from the waters' surface sparkles within her blue eyes, even as she raises her head to look up.

<°>- In Harmony with Nature -<°> Few travelers tell about the inner secrets that nature holds, how it seems to be guarded by a hidden power. Every tree, every leaf, every breeze and gentle stream, they all appear safely protected by woven layers of secrecy, things that never reach the ears of those who wander along the countless paths that run through the forest. The unseen protection lays with the mysterious guardians of nature. Elegant spirits that hold their gentle hand above all that surrounds and watch over the aspects assigned to them. Throughout their place of residence, their sacred village, nestled underneath the protective bond of the elements themselves, various spirits are to be found. From water to fire, from air to earth. Calmly humming, one of them wanders along the central stream, crossing a bridge eventually. Her green eyes come to meet yours after a while, and she shows a welcoming, warm smile.
