Earth Spirit

She doesn't seem to care that I've startled her. She sits, quite calmly, in her little hollow at the base of the elm. Her hair looks greenish-brown in the light. So does everything else. Even her skin appears green-not sickly, a healthy tinge, like the meadow after a rainstorm.
She blinks her hazel eyes at  me. You know how the eyes of cows and horses look so calming? Her eyes are like that.
Then I notice it. Power. Energy. Magic.
I've met others like her, I realize. And then my mind had tried hinting things to me: She is like the wind itself, forever free I remember thinking, and another time: She looks like she's made of fire.
My brain does the same thing now. She looks like part of the trees, I think.
And she does. She is part of the forest.  I'm grinning now. I know who she is. "You're the Earth Elemental, aren't you?"
She nods "Yes, I am Amber."

  1. These three characters in your last three posts must have been fun to weave into reality. They're very romantic.
