The Forest Dream

I find myself entranced by beautiful, old pines and sparkling fairies

The trees show me the way and the fairies follow me

The fairies whisper amongst themselves as to who they think I am

Though, I don't even know who I am

I found myself wandering through this wood and encountered these fairies just moments ago and they believe that I am the chosen one

The one the oracle spoke when he said that there would be a human girl to enter this wood and become the bride to the Forest King

These fairies told me stories about the Forest King

They said that if Iwas the one the oracle spoke of, then I was going to meet the King

Suddenly, I find myself coming to a clearing in the woods

Where all the woodland creatures gathered and surrounded this beautiful man

He approached me cautiously and gestured for me to take his hand

I did...

He gently led me to the center of the clearing and introduced himself as The Forest King

All of the creatures around us seemed to bow before us

The worshipped him, and worshipped me out of respect.

They didn't know me, but according to the oracle, I was the only one that could make

The Forest King happy and making him happy was the only way to keep the forest thriving

That would mean that all of these creatures would live a long time and give birth to their offspring and all of the fairies could have a safe haven for their families

All of these beautiful pine trees would still reach for the skies

If the Forest King weren't kept happy, this wonderful forest along with all that lives within it, could perish

I couldn't let the forest perish, nor could I let the King be unhappy

I will be at his side everyday and night ensuring his happiness and he will do the same for me

He and I will work together to help this forest thrive and live on for many generations so that our family can continue to rule over this forest

If only it weren't just a dream that I had one night
