2 Camouflage in the Forest
It was unusual for Lady Gezel to went out for a drive, i noticed her drive away from Winkles Nook earlier this morning.
The sun has yet to rise and the pixies were busy singing and dancing as they perform their wake up calls for all the creatures of the reserve.
The gwyllions are starting to vanish themselves as the morning sun starts to peak through the horizon.
"Good Morning, Phyllis." my favorite pixie appeared with a greeting. "Well Good Morning to you too, my dear Franzel." i smiled.
"How was Meliai today?" she asked. "It's fine, nothing unusual going on, the dryads are very active after all." she nods in my statement.
"Very well, what would you like for your hair today?" she asked me gesturing to the mirror for me to see.
Pixies are very helpful for all the Faery Creatures of Winkles. They are helpers and also loyal followers of the Muses.
My chosen Pixie was Franzel, and we've been together for over a year now, she was a gift for me by the Meliai, the Meliai is the dryad of Ash Tree located at the far side of the Forest, the Forest was named Meliai, home of the dryads.
Franzel always do my hair, she braids them and sometimes she dyed it. She enjoys doing my hair and i gave her muffins as a treat.

I like roaming around the Winkles nook, my buddy Lotte always cover my tree when Miss Gilette inspects each trees.
Dryads duties is not just making camouflage. But also, every dryad has the responsibility on its own tree.
But what can i do, im bored.
Franzel sat on my shoulder as i hop through branches.And I ended up passing the estate and the willow tree to the water faeries cove.
Dryads has good reflexes, were like acrobats, its a natural characteristics of our kind.
I was swinging to the trees and tiptoing to tje ground, the way i move is like dancing with the wind, smooth and fast.
And we reach the cove, i sat in a near birch tree, and watch the mermaids swim, and the little nixies play.
Sometimes, I envy the nixies because they can breath underwater and they grow wings to fly, and the grown nixies were pretty ladies.
They were beautiful creatures other than the Muses. And also, i like it here in Asrai because its near the Brownies, and ooh, im spying Sethyl.
Seth was my childhood crush, i first met him three years ago at the Mansion during the recognition of Lady Primrose as the latest Muse.
And on the celebration, i spotted Seth with his buddies, and i felt love at first sight. But unluckily, i didnt had the chance to talk to him, so i ended up being his stalker. shhh, dont tell him.
Franzel was silent, and its unusual for her to be silent.
"Hey Franz, why are you quiet? is there any problem?" i ask her.
"No,Phyl...I'm fine, i dont know, im just not in the mood?" she said with a shrug. I drop the subject.
"Okay then, lets find Myla." i tell her as i jump to the ground.
A minute of looking around we spotted Mylantrope in the pavillon. I waved at her and she waved back as she saw me and flew across the lake.
"Hey Phyl, hows it going in the south ?" she asked.
"Its fine i guess?, so how was Gandall ?" i tease her.
"Shhh! be quiet!" she shriek and blushed.
"Lets go to my place." she said and turn away.
Myla's place is a treehouse, it was nice and neat. Her little home was filled with dandelions.
She went to her kitchen, and came back with lemonade and lemon tart. Franzel giddily grab a slice of tart and started to munch her food.
"So.?" i started.
"What?" Myla said giving me an innocent look.
"Should i mention the name Gandall for you?" i half shout.
"Phyll, stop it., we went to the Reserve yesterday, you know just hang out. you know." she said and her cheeks began to taint pink. Ooh shes blushing, i can tell something happend.
"Oh, i see. so, what happened next? Did he kiss you, did he kiss you?" i grinned and her face was red.
She shot me a pointed look, and she stammered. "Y-yyeah" she murmured.
"So how was it? Is he a good kisser?" i asked. She smiled, "Yeah he is."
"You know i really like him right?" she continued."How about you?"
I chocked my lemonade and glare at her. "What about me?" i asked.
"Well, how about you tell me why you stalk the Brownies?" she grinned. "Who was that guy? Sethyl?"
My eyes bulged."Oh my gosh. How did.. How did you know?" i stuttered.
"Ha! the great dryad Phyllis has a crush." she said in a sing sang voice.
I reach her mouth and cover it with my hands. "Shsh! Stop it." i murmur.
She laughed. "I knew it.!" she exclaimed. I can feel my cheeks heat up as i drink my lemonade to cool my self up.
We avoided the subject for further blushes. And afternoon came, Franzel and I went back to the Forest.

"Hey Lotte!" I called my buddy as she polished the branches of her tree house. Sometimes I wonder how she kept her house neat even though she's been busy in Faery Circle.
Faery Circle is a school where young Faery Creatures of Winkles Nook study their magic and abilities.
Lotte and I, same with Myla still goes at Faery Circle, Its our last year in the Circle though. In the human world, its like the senior year.
Faery Circle students are composed of the Dryads,Nymphs,Eleves,Gnomes, and even Humans that lives in the Winkles Nook; while Spriggans, Dwarves, and Brownies were placed in the Alfheim Rhuins.
"Whats up Phyl."Lotte shot back. "How was your visit at the cove? Anything interesting to share?" she wiggled her eyebrows.
I rolled my eyes and chuckle. "nah, just the usual." i said.
Then i heard a sound of vehicle coming, probably its Lady Gezel's car, so i excitedly jump to the trees near the road path.
I planned to jump to her car to startle her. But Franzel caught my attention and pointed at the car.
Lady Gezel had brought someone with her. And it was a girl, i can tell she somewhat my age. I hop back to my tree and burried my self to the trunk camouflaging my self.
We watched the car rode closer as it pass the Forest. For some unknown reason, the forest maybe felt that someone new enter the estate because the wind changed its course and the dried leaves dance with the wind. I was curious, but before i think of spying to Lady Gezels guest, Lotte stopped me saying it its not my business.
I shrugged. But let it go. I'll know it eventually. But I can tell that the girl was pretty, because i caught her eyes looking in the trees with awe and joy.
