The Wind Will Avenge You

Your time has gone. Gone we know not whither, and you will not have your revenge. Revenge for the pain dealt you, revenge for betrayal. Betrayed by the ones sworn to save you, you lie in the dust. Dust consumes you as it did before you were born. Born in the earth, planted a seed, fallen from a tree before you.


You have departed, but the sun remains. Remains to avenge your death. Death was given by the humans, but the wind and the sun remain. Remain to dry out the house they build, to burn up the ground around, to turn their land into a desert. A desert in the middle of an oasis is what their home will be. Be strong my dear, for in your death those remaining remember you.

You were once a living tree filled with the heart of your dryad, but no more. More than anything, I wish the life to run through your veins. Veins pulled the water from the earth beneath you and filled your leaves with shade. Shade covered your land and protected your humans. Humans forgot you, gave you up, and your essence they took.


Take heart. The wind will avenge you.
