There's No Joy

The Powers of An Elemental Season P4

We were walked with Palladium through a magical forest of Goldennlinden trees, I was astonished. The Linden trees were sacred among the wood elves of Elvira. The town of Elveera was delightful from the elvish child we could see poaying in the forest, men rangers were working as supervisors alongside them and teaching them tracking skills those could prove useful."

"I thought flames were pretty when they're all yellow but the flowers of a Golden Linden tree far outshine anything I-'ve ever seen." stammers Alderra her eyes wide in awe. Asherra giggled and Theo with her too.

"What? I don't get it?" asked Alderra.

"You started to stammer." said Theodore. "I didn't think it was true, but turns out the beauty of the Linden trees can make people go quite speechless even stubborn, stoic dwarves and it's surprising, because you are a Nature fairy that it makes you the Fairy of Toxicplants stammer."

"Are you saying I can't keep myself together Mr. I don't want to be called Teddy. What's the legend got to do with me and what do dwarves have to with Elvira and Lynphea anyways. I'm not a dwarf." She gave him sass back. "And by the way I'm the one who saved you from Miss Queendom of the Ocean, show a little bit more respect and gratitude, Princey boy."

She shook her head tossing her long dark redette brownette hair about in the most elegant way for extra flavor, flair and swagger before crossing her arms on her chest and glaring at the royal gentleman eyes squinting and she coughed. "And I appreciate if you'd drop the attitude towards me all of the sudden right now, Theodore."

"You have a visitor who has quite a lot of intellect with you for a Nature fairy, Professor Palladium, the Fairy of Toxicplants is known to us, and as for what your comtades were saying there are dwarves here on occasion they bring us supplies to make the medicine we need. And most the dwarfs we have any dealings with are from Lynphea they help us with some medicine supply containers and some shield metal work otherwise we manage on our own just fine we use a lot of wood to help craft most of our weapons and they're pretty effective if you use them in the right way, but our skills are rather lacking in the healing process of the mortal body's physical injures by agitations we don't understand perhaps we might learn a few things from you, Alderra the Fairy of Toxicplants, I'm Lady Ellewen follow me please my family with let you stay with my house, Palladium while we wait for the Elvish guards to come collect you and your guests for the entrance tests." She led down a grassy path that parted some of the Golden Linden trees and at the base of their trunks some of the trees were hugged by fiddlehead ferns, Christmas ferns, and Alderra was surprised as she saw a couple fiddlehead ferns up in the trees in the trees as they passed by the fifth one they came to a pretty large decent yard type clearing and built along with a huge golden oak was a house a tree house with steps leading inside the trunk.

"How do ferns get way up there in the linden tree branches?" asked Theodore as they approached the Golden Oak wood stairwell to their new home for the moments to come behind Ellewen Lady of the house and their current host for he was confused.

Palladium answered him for me, and said.  "That's our brothers and sisters the fiddlehead ferns, they're Terrestial able to grow on land with roots in the soil, it is also capable of being an Aquatic plant grows fully in water, but it is also an Epiphytic plant grows on trees branch in the air with no need for soil or water. It is a resilient plant and therefore we watch it carefully for when it's up in the trees it is often at the mercy of the wind when the leaves can no longer cling to it but it stays green even if has to fall of its only home it might ever know many of the elves take it as a good omen that even if you fall through a storm good is awaiting on the other side if your willing to care for others whether or not they might be selfish and prideful nobody deserves to be alone or all on their own."
