The wind blewed and the leaves rustled in answer. The trunk of the tree manifested a bare foot.

A slender leg followed till a woman manifested from the oak tree.

I choked at the sight, “Wha–”

The elder called Maiara smiled warmly at me, “Hello, my child.” She glided over to me, her long white skirt swishing at her ankles, her bare feet peeking with every step. She stood a foot before me and she looked over me like a mother would over a child, I instantly felt warm and safe. “Meredith Tesifa Pierce, my goodness, you are just as beautiful as your heart.”

My cheeks warmed, “Ah, th–thanks.” I mumbled. I scrunched my brows, wondering how she knew my name. “How did you–” I stopped. “Right. Trees sees and hears everything.” 

Maiara let out a warm laugh. She then bopped me on my nose. “You’re learning quick, my child.”

-Meredith

“My name is I don’t trust you,” Bodhi narrowed her eyes, “How do you know, Red?”

“Lovely name, it suits you.” He said dryly. “And Red?” He glanced at me and tilted his head like a mischievous feline. “Meredith… Redith… Red. I like that.”

I ordered, “Answer her,” My nerves were fried and I wanted answers.

His [Obsidian] eyes snapped to mine, liting up with something. “My, my, Red… aren’t you a fiery one?”

My jaw clenched at the way he kept using my name. I stay silent and waited.

“Ok, then. Well,” Bodhi gestured to herself. “This is currently a glamour.”
