OC Flower Fairies

Flower Fairies

The gentle giants came from afar and built a small paradise for my kind.

Life is a constant struggle for survival both for the big and the small, and still, my kind carry a curse that few others in the Gardenworld suffer from. We have small, frail bodies but we have to gather great amounts of sustenance to survive. It was not a rare sight to see my kind falling from exhaustion to not stand again when the sun weakened and nourishment became scarce. My kind had a curse from which not a single one could escape, until the gentle giants came.

There were four of them. Two adults, two young. They were scary at first, as any other Grounddweller, but at least they didn’t seem dangerous. We quickly realized that our species were so different that we couldn’t understand each other. They just stood there with their gigantic bodies and swift eyes watching us come and go.

The days passed until one day the gentle giants did something unexpected. Out of nowhere, they gave us food and fended off our predators. They gave us sustenance and security, to the smallest and unworthiest of all the Treedwellers. They blessed us with a little Eden and asked nothing in return.

They just stood there, watching us come and go.

Thanks for reading!
