I am a force of nature, misshapen and untameable, until I meet her.
My mission is to deliver the human bride to her husband-to-be. Shes to be married into one of the most powerful families in the state. Her husband is a spiritual leader, and he has one condition she must prove shes worthy. Through the deepest woods, she must walk alone to meet him at the luxurious, isolated resort where their fates will be bound. The brides father is not heartless, though. He knows the woods are dangerous, so he hires me to escort and protect his daughter.
Because I can become one with the trees
I am to guard her from the shadows. My voice the rustle of leaves, my hands the branches she clings to. She must never know Im there, even as her sweet innocence coaxes my body into taking a shape that allows us to touch. I change what I am, just for her.
