Dryads Nymphs Novels & Stories

The siren blood I had ingested years ago had done its job. Woodland nymphs were practically cousins to sirens. They shared enough that my resistance to the siren compulsion helped me keep control mentally even though my body was turning on me. The feeling of fingers running down my arm made me turn to the shortest of the three nymphs. Her belly was large, with purple and black veins covering the skin. She was pregnant, whoever their last male victim was had done his job, and now the others wanted a turn. She sent me a wicked smile, licking her lips in a way that made me think she wanted to actually eat me and not just play with me.

Everything dies, even us, our lifespan was just a lot longer. “We should go to the nymphs first.” Ari pointed to another spot on the map, pulling me from my thoughts. “They can camouflage us.” “The nymphs are over two weeks away; the Elves are closer. We should speak to them first!” Gia argued with Ari. There are many types of nymphs, forest, mountain, jungle, and desert. They are shape shifters and can camouflage to match their home regions. They have tattoos to go with their region. Forest nymphs, for example, have leaf tattoos that line their arms and legs. Jungle nymphs have vines or snake tattoos on their arms and legs and so on.

I also wouldn’t want anyone else to get hurt because of me. "Oh, Nymphs, daughters of the ocean. Ethereal nereids of lush groves. Shining virgins bacchantes priestesses. Xothies of the woods amadryades daughters. The groves resound by their songs, and their choir disturbs the harmony of waters.” Despite that, I was still practicing that my ears were tuned into what was happening outside.

Gertrude explained with a sad tone. "Supposedly, there are other nymphs who have ties to other environments. There are those who live in the mountains, forests, or near the sea. Nature and the specific ecosystem that we are tied to are what strengthen us. We are like partners with the earth, to ensure it continues." "That's so interesting. And we are desert nymphs. That's why I always felt safe when I came to visit you?" Lucy asked.

Theresa walked along the bush path and down towards the stream where the wood nymphs had their daily bath. She saw two barely-clad nymphs being wooed by a muscular satyr holding a flute and she called out in a cheerful greeting, "Morning, forest nymphs." The nymphs were beautiful creatures who lived in the forest. They were rather renowned for their melodious voices which inevitable pulled lustful satyrs to them. Unlike their distant cousins who inhabited other parts such as the water, caves etc., the forest nymphs were frequently seen more than their sisters.

But Myrna didn't see any lies at all. “The Tree Fairies or The Dryads, are the guardians of the forest. They are also usually called, the spirit of the tree. They live side by side with nature and even unite with it. They have the power to balance the growth of natural ecosystems and also maintain their diversity. Dryads are generally shaped like plants or trees that are chosen by their fairy soul. But they also have human forms. Usually, it has plants or flowers growing within them…. That's what I read." Lilly recalled what she had read in the library. "Only that?" Myrna asked and Lilly nodded.

The entire clearing seemed to breathe with it. Soft light glowed along the bark, running in thin lines that reminded me of the veins on leaves, but this felt older. Deeper. Like the source of something that had existed long before the crystal itself. Nymphs stood around the base of the tree, more than I thought there were. They were already gathered in a wide circle, their bodies still. Their clothing blended into the forest so naturally, for a moment it looked like the clearing itself had come alive. Their eyes turned toward me the second we stepped forward.

"I know why he would want me. But why would he want you?" Ellie hummed, a slight tremor appearing in her hands. Fear flared in her eyes only for a moment before it was gone. At that moment, she looked older than twenty-two. Reminding me of how Sol looked days after her mother's wake. "Water nymphs are healers by nature and have universal organs," she started. "Which means they can be used for fae, shifters, humans, even vampires." The silence between us hung thick and heavy.

said the great sage. "To which beings are you referring, great sage?" asked Lyra. "To the sacred nymphs, magical beings that wander through the forest keeping everything in balance with nature. Maybe that's why she attacked the warriors," said the great sage. "It can't be. I've heard of them before, and I know their power can be immense, so I'll be careful, and above all, my blow will be accurate, straight to the head if necessary," said Lyra, who wanted to go where the nymph was.

Dad was highly suspicious. Also, there was a Dryad that I had to get my hands on as they usually had extensive knowledge of all matters of the witch realm. They were nymphs or tree spirits that lived in forests of the witch territories only. Trees were everywhere. Therefore, information swept like the wind among them. It was the fastest way to know if Vaheed or his captors were in their kingdom and if the Dryads had seen him anywhere. The small black pouch of diamonds should suffice as payment for them to spill the beans.
