🌷The Spirits🌷

Jimin's POV

The forest, swamps, the ocean, and the ponds. It was mine to protect. I have never failed before, and never will. Not once in my immortal life, I have failed. And I shall never let that happen.

I sighed, opening my eyes to be met with the loving sound of the water around my ears. Softly blue colored scales covered my cheeks bones, shoulders, and hands. "I thank the forest spirits for my rest." I said softly, sitting up.

I shook my head to get the water out of my hair. I stood up, the water dripping from my body. I took a deep breath, greeting the sea critters and thanking them.

I quickly returned to my duty, taking care of the young animals. I looked up quickly, standing up quickly and holding my hand towards the arrow, stopping it in its path.

I hissed angrily, running towards the archer. I pinned him tightly, my spring green with blue eyes piercing through the man his brown ones.

"This is yours, I assume?" I asked lowly, holding the arrow tightly. The man frowned. "And you are?" He asked. His voice was husky and sounded annoyed. He wasn't that much taller than me either. Maybe that was why he shot so low.

"I am no one you should know." I replied. "Why did you shoot my friends?" I hissed. "Am I not allowed to get dinner?" He asked coldly. "Not if it means to hunt them." I spat.

The man scoffed. "Who are you? And what are you?" He asked. "Again, no one you need to know." I replied. The man sighed. "Listen up honey, I don't care if you don't want to tell your name. I want to know why you protected my dinner." He spat back.

"She is not dinner. They are innocent little rabbits!" I yelled, tightening my grip. "Really? Then why can't they just make more baby rabbits?" "It is their mating season. It will take one whole year before they can again. This is a newborn rabbit!" I yelled.

The man rolled his eyes. "Do I look like I care? Now, what are you?" He asked. "I am the protected of the forest. One of the many spirits that has been chosen to take care of this magical land." I answered.

The man chuckled and started laughing. "Yeah right. Just admit that you're dressing up and we can go on with our day. If of course, you let me take my dinner." He said, cocking his eyebrow up at me.

I frowned and pulled him with me rudely. "You may not see me the way that I am towards the forest and its animals, but reflection shows it all." I said softly. The man shook his head in disbelieve. "What is your point boy?"

"Look into the river. You will see what I am. No tricks, no lies." I said lowly. The man sighed and looked into the river, widening his eyes seeing the difference.

"Are you an Elf?!" He asked yelling. I held my finger in front of his lips. "Quiet. The birds are asleep." I whispered. He gulped and nodded. "I am not an Elf, as I said I am a protector. My name is Park Jimin, the protector of the Everwind." I said smiling.

The man stared at me with wide eyes and gave me a friendly nod. "Min Yoongi, hunter of Daegu." He said. I frowned. "If you dare to hunt my friends again I will not even hesitate to punish you."

Yoongi nodded quickly. "But... how is your reflection so different from your appearance that I see? You are so much prettier in that state!" He exclaimed. I frowned disappointedly, looking at my reflection.

"If I truly am, then I must not show." I said quietly. "But why?" He asked. "You can show me, can you not?" He grabbed my shoulders gently. I shook my head. "I heard that humans are attracted by beauty. I have to keep them away from here." I replied, sitting down in the grass.
