Chapter 1

"Please, keep Lilium safe..." These were the last words spoken before
Lilium's mother set off to face a combined army of imperials and magistrates,
seeking to bring harm to the Emerald forest, this defense sadly came with
much loss.

It was a moonless night, pitch-black to those whos' eyes were not keen to the
dark. Through the deep forest, a light could be seen, glowing orange like a
sunset, with the smell of ash and smoke in the air. Footsteps marched like a
loud drum, echoing through the forest. A small army approached the forest, a
joint militia between two factions that wished to destroy nature and bring
civilization. As the marching army approached, the footsteps getting ever so
loud, preparations were being made to put a halt to this. Lilium's mother had
united the forest temporarily with the dryad's, pixies, rangers, and even
Tekk, Imbessor, Sir Sorrow and the three sister witches joined in to defend
their home. Sure they did not all see eye to eye they united to repel this
force that came against them. The battle was long, it was harsh, and sadly
many lost their life in this confrontation, the forest still stands to this
day, changed but still there.

Lilium was but a very young child during this night, held in the deepest part
of the Emerald forest. She slumbered peacefully, unaware of what was
happening, but she does remember hearing her mother's voice trailing off, as
she had awoken briefly, sensing something was amiss.

As the battle waned, the morning sun began rising. There was a terrible
amount of bloodshed on both sides as the Imperial-Tribunal militia had
retreated. The Emerald forest was saved that day, though Lilium's mother was
lost, along with many of the forest that day. Lilium had awoken, a mere five
year old little girl, had lost her one and only parent that she had known.
Her mother knew that she'd likely be giving up her life in this battle she
knew it would keep Lilium safe. She was a powerful druid and has always lived
off the land and knew that the land would provide for Lilium as well, no
matter her choice in life. Lilium was devastated of course, but she
understood, she was wise for her age, and while deeply saddened, she
understood it was necessary.
