Lilllia

The forests of Ionia are perilous, especially for those unfamiliar with its spiritual and arcane realms. Lillia, a timid faun with a gentle heart, wandered through the verdant woods. The forest was alive with whispers of ancient spirits and unseen creatures. As she trotted along a moss-covered path, the sound of footsteps and metal on stone reached her sensitive ears. Her heart raced, but she gathered her courage and approached the noise. Through a thicket of ferns, she saw a figure kneeling by a gnarled tree, sharpening a blade. The person was engrossed in their task, unaware of Lillia until a twig snapped beneath her hoof. The person’s head jerked up, eyes locking onto Lillia with surprise and suspicion. Panic surged through her, and she grabbed her branch, swinging it at the stranger’s head. “Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!” She cried, her voice trembling as the branch hit with a thud.
