A Tale Of Mortals
Kavan.
Kavan stared at the white flowers on top of the mortal's head.
He knew damn well what the forest was implying, and he would rather face death instead of doing whatever it is they wanted him to do. It was already annoying that the mortal had to stay at his abode, but to have the forest take care of him? Gritting his teeth once more, he grabbed the crown of flowers from the mortal's head and threw it roughly on the ground.
Then he grabbed the vine that wrapped itself around the mortal's waist. Shaking his head, he wrapped his hand tightly around the vine, narrowing his eyes, "Stop. I do not need this."
'I do not need him.'
He felt something sting in his chest. Confused, he blinked and looked down. Surprise flashed in his face once he noticed that his chest stung because the mortal was currently slapping him on the chest. The mortal's face was a deep shade of red, and Kavan tilted his head at that. He h

Fyn. Fyn pinched his arm to make sure that he wasn't seeing things.Standing just a few feet away from him are turnips. Normally, turnips wouldn't make him so dumbfounded. Occasionally, he would plant some turnips at the back of his hut and harvest them during early spring. That's why he was obviously aware of what turnips should look like, smell like, and taste like. He knew for sure that turnips weren't supposed to walk.Turnips most especially shouldn't have faces.And most of all, turnips don't talk.The turnip just a few feet away from him had not only eyes, but a mouth, and four limbs. It was standing on two legs and standing two feet tall. Fyn pinched himself again, blinking as much as he could. He gaped his mouth wide open, staring unbelievingly at the thing right in front of him. Sure, he could accept a telepathic snake, a demon with wings, antlers, and a tail, and a forest that moves all

Fyn. Fyn stood by the cave entrance, Havu around his waist again.It was close to night time and Kavan had disappeared to who knows where once more. Sighing, Fyn crossed his arms as he leaned against the cave, the cool rock seeping through his blouse. The sky had turned dark, and cool air kissed Fyn's cheek. Back when he had been outside the forest by his hut, he would have been getting ready for bed. This time, he just didn't feel comfortable sleeping on his own. For some reason, he couldn't quite explain."I apologize for the master's actions," Havu mentally told Fyn, tightening around his waist. Fyn had gone accustomed to the serpent. If he had known a few days ago that he would find himself with a snake around his waist, tightening on him, without him fearing it all, he would have not believed it. "He is not usually like this. I'm afraid he just isn't hospitable."Fyn shook his head, brushing his hands against Havu's c

Fyn. Fyn woke up that morning with the realization that the village had offered no one that night.With that thought in mind, Fyn bit his lip, looking around the cave. There was now some light coming from the entrance and as usual, Kavan was nowhere to be found. Just a few feet away from him, curled like a ball, was Havu. The serpent was not sleeping, Fyn wondered if serpents even knew how to do that. Instead, the serpent was watching him silently, and once it noticed that he was awake, it slithered from where it was laying down on and crawled up its neck, circling around him like a scarf."The master had left a few hours before your wake," Havu's voice echoed inside of Fyn's mind. "He has things to do."As carefully as he could, Fyn stretched his arms up above his head to get his blood pumping. Yawning, he rubbed his eyes and scratched his belly, "Don't worry, Havu. I'm getting used to not having him around. Plus, you're

Fyn. Days turned to weeks.Despite that, the village of Gashea offered no new brides.Fyn couldn't help but both be thankful and worried about it. Everything seemed alright and fine, and Fyn couldn't help but think if it was just the calm before a tremendous storm. That was how it usually turned out for him, after all. Over the next few weeks, he had found solace within the community of Næps inside the forest. As much as he could, he would go to where they were and help them.He often taught the little Næps about herbs, how to consume them, and just what would work with them. He taught them about the poisonous ones and the healthy ones. That was how he usually spent his days within the forest."What about this, Fyn?" One of the Næps asked. "What should I do with this?"Fyn grabbed the herb from the Næp and carefully sniffed the colorful herb. The aroma immediately hit him and he smiled

Fyn. Fyn woke up pressed against a certain demon's chest.Surprised, Fyn opened his eyes immediately awoke but froze once he realized Kavan was still there in front of him. Usually, Kavan would have left by now. During the mornings, he would do rounds around the forest, checking and looking for those that would need his help.It had been cold recently and there was only one place to sleep in Kavan's cave. During the night, when Fyn and Havu had already fallen asleep, Kavan would silently slip next to them. He would wordlessly wrap his wings around Fyn and the serpent, making sure they were warm, even in their sleep. Sheltering them quietly. Fyn always notices when Kavan would rest beside them, but he would never speak out on it.He relished the warmth. Fyn always had the best sleep when Kavan was next to him. Not that it mattered since usually, Kavan would leave in the morning. Except for this time, he woke up before the d

Fyn. From where he was standing, Fyn could see the village of Gashea.The forest had never allowed him to be this close to the village. He can't help but reminisce about the times wherein he tried to escape. When he tried to go back to the life he was used to living outside the forest. Whenever he would walk or run towards where he was sure the village was located, he would always just find himself back at the foot of Kavan's cave.This time, the village of Gashea was just a few feet away.Without meaning to, tears prick the corner of Fyn's eyes and he couldn't help but let out a relieved breath. Shakily, he moves branches and vines blocking his path, his eyes steady on the village right in front of him. With every step he took, his heart felt more elated."This is real," He whispered to himself, his eyes still on the village. "I'm getting out."Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and ran.Never o

Fyn.Fyn stared at Hana's mouth, trying to make sense of what he just heard.That was impossible. He couldn't have been gone for years. He knew it was more than a few days, he knew it was more than a few weeks, but years? That was just impossible.But was it really?During the course of his stay in the forest, he had met a talking serpent, he lived with a demon, he taught little talking turnips about herbs and how to use them, and he witnessed how branches and vines moved around him as if they had minds of their own.Slowly, Fyn felt his knees giving out under him, and he falls into a messy heap on the floor, panic flooding his system. He ran his fingers through the roots of his hair, unconsciously pulling, trying to make sure that he was still there. He could still feel things.He had really been gone for years.Suddenly, everything made perfect

Kavan.Kavan could tell from the moment he opened his eyes that his mortal had left him.He's not quite sure how easily he could tell.It was probably how the scent of the surrounding cave turned differently. With Fyn by his side, the cave he considered his home smelled of lavender and ocean breeze. It could also probably be because the warmth beside him before he had fallen asleep had disappeared. It left him with nothing but cold, barren walls that offered no comfort.And maybe it was about how his cave, who he considered was puny, especially with the size of him and the size of his wings, had turned inexplicably large.And inside that inexplicable, cold, barren, and large cave, Kavan felt lonely.Maybe that was one reason he could tell that his mortal had left. There was no other explanation for the clawing inside of him. The mortal must have been a witch, having him, a powerful being, feeling something that's ak
