Pt 17 - The Druid's Lust
A storm was raging its way over the forest, and instead of patrolling, Gux was sitting in one of his hiding spots up in a tree, feeling a little grumpy. With Zaax around all the time and how busy life seemed, he didn't get to see his darling wife...
Pt 16 - The Druid's Birthday
It had taken a long time for either of the couple to realize it, but there was one thing neither of them had celebrated yet: A birthday. Now, they'd only been together for a little over a year overall, and a lot had happened, but Lily had...
Pt 15 - The Druid's Pack
One morning, as Lily got up, she heard a strange hissing conversation coming from outside her door. She had woken up after Gux, finding a berry and a flower sitting on her dresser, waiting for her, and she stretched as she got out of bed. It had been a...
Pt 14 - The Druid's Family
Zaax was a quick learner, and while a lot of people were initially wary of him, he was soon allowed to play and learn with many other young druid initiates. The bulk of the teaching was done at home, since Zaax didn't speak either druidic or...
Pt 13 - The Druid's Choice
Gux struck from the woods immediately, only stopping once to feed and heal an injured deer, before he reached the edge of the woods. Beyond it he could already feel the blistering summer heat threatening him, the long, waving golden grass of the...
Pt 12 - The Druid's Wedding
The day of the wedding was a huge celebration, and it only grew bigger as the people who gathered (quite a lot of them, considering the perceived animosity towards Gux) were led through the woods near their hut into a large circular clearing. Trees...
Pt 11 - The Druid's Preparations
Interspecies marriages weren't uncommon in druid culture. While many places frowned upon humans and elves, or dwarves and gnomes, or those of draconic ancestry, or any of the civilized races mixing with anyone of another civilized race romantically,...
Pt 10 - The Druid's Promise
Unlike many might think, life doesn't end at "Happily Ever After," though it did maintain that mode for Gux and Lily. Lily continued to teach Gux, trying to help him discover his particular form of druidic magic that aided him in his role as the...
Pt 9 - The Druid's Love
Lily and Gux were left in the cell all night, and as he slowly came to consciousness again, he looked up into her brown eyes, a smile on his face. "Did... I do good?" She nodded, smiling brightly to know he was okay as she'd thrown all of her...
Pt 8 - The Druid's Rescue
Gux ran through the edge of the clearing, feeling the magical essence in the air like a familiar friend as he stumbled to the edge of Lily's house. "Lily! I'm here!" he barked out, yelling towards the house. There was no response, and as he looked...
Pt 7 - The Druid's Wait
Lily was taken to the council's headquarters, standing before the three that looked at her like a traitor. She knew she wasn't one, but that didn't stop the berating. The probing questions, the slander slung at Gux, the hatred leveled at her... It was...
Pt 6 - The Druid's Heart
Gux's heart beat quickly every time he saw her. He didn't know what this was, but over the months, it had grown. At first, he'd thought something was wrong, but he'd heard Lily say the word a few times, and had a feeling it might be that. "Lily... What...
