The Last Guardian of Everroot
Deep within the heart of Everroot Forest, where the trees whispered secrets older than time, lived an earth fae named Sylva. She was the last of the Everroot Guardians, sworn to protect the sacred heart of the forest—a colossal, ancient oak known as the Rootfather. Its roots stretched for miles, binding the land’s magic together. Without it, the balance between the human world and the fae realm would crumble.
For centuries, Sylva had watched over the forest, tending to its creatures and ensuring the land thrived. But lately, she had sensed a sickness in the soil. The humans had grown bolder, carving roads through the trees and stealing from the land without offering thanks. The Rootfather, once pulsing with golden life, had begun to wither.
