Sundew And Willow Novels & Stories

Con asks, looking around to scan the trees. “Yes, it’s perfect,” I reply, placing the basket on the ground. “I need a Willop flower. We should find one down near the water’s edge.” I take off carefully down the small hill, steadying myself on the muddy ground as I approach the edge of the fast-flowing little stream. I turn my head to see him standing there watching me with his arms folded. “Well, don’t just stand there! Help me look!” “I have no idea what a fucking Willop flower is, Eden.”

The pair happily made their daily rounds of their extensive gardens, carefully pruning and weeding as they went. Selene was not really listening to Little Lia today though. Her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of the woods. Today they would need to venture into the bush as far as the stream. Fear crept in at the mere idea of the excursion they were about to attempt. It wasn’t a risk Selene took often, especially with Lia in tow, but today she needed more bearberry to help heal the little Rogue twins' bladder infections that hadn’t quite left them yet. The plant only grew in the forest, among the moss and coniferous trees near the stream. She had let the supply dwindle for fear of the woods

Whatever it was, there was a connection between them that was on a whole other level compared to her own bond with Dante. "I couldn't bring myself to move her. I don't know if I even could." Amira told her, breaking through her thoughts. Willow side eyed the white haired woman before shifting her gaze ahead. The autumn leaves drifted gracefully to the forest floor and crunched beneath their boots. Willow took in a breath of the nature that surrounded her. Rich soil at her feet. The light breeze ruffled the red and yellow leaves above them. She peered up to the canopy where the sun shined in through the gaps in the branches. She let the warmth of the November sun kiss her face before letting

The thought of them spending time together made Lady Silverwall lose all preconceived notions. After passing through the small hills, a collection of light refracted from one tree, bouncing off into the sky like an aurora. A firefly or two flashed past, their light brighter than the flaming mushrooms. When Phillip removed the last broad ketapan leaf, he could see a giant willow tree that in every tendril gave off a colorful light. Starting from blue, yellow, violet, red, orange, to green. The lights create amazingly beautiful color gradations. Phillip glanced at Louise who seemed also amazed, even though the Lady had visited this place several times. Only that time Phillip was not with her.

But she had no idea that I didn’t want to reject her. The hot summer air in Louisiana was no joke, the entire wolf pack often finding itself in the river trying to cool off. Today was no different. But my mate, she didn’t stick around. Willow, what an unusual name. Soft and yielding but stronger than any other trees in our area.

I’m looking over the meeting minutes and ticking places off the map when Tru’s voice pulls me from my thoughts, “Would the Willow know where to find the stone?” I pause for a moment. Willow is considered the spirit of the forests and trees. She’s old and wise and knows many things. Anything that happens close to trees, she will see it. Speaking with her is dangerous. Humans and other creatures have destroyed many different forests. Special huldra were created to protect her. The huldra would begin to sing if a man entered the forest where Willow dwells. The intruder would follow the sound, and the huldra would lure them deeper into the forest. Then if the man was lucky, he is given a quick d

Elliot laughs nervously, “Yes she is.” I looked at David and asked, “Out of curiosity, what made you want to check it?” He replied, “Willow trees grow to those heights in full sun. They don’t do well in shade at all. Most of the time, if you see a Willow tree, there are no other trees around it. They like to hog the sunlight. They don’t play well with other trees.” I laughed, “Thank you. It looks like I have a lot to learn.” He smiled, “We would all be happy to teach you all that we know.”

"We did it!" "Let's go find our mate," Willow demands. "He's close, I can feel it." Willow guides us through the forest with the sure swiftness of a creature designed to move through tight spaces with grace and ease. I can hear the distant trickle of water and know that I am close to one of the rivers that move through this land. Sniffing the air, I seek out my mate's scent. I do not smell it yet, but I smell something else, something uniquely earthy and not at all human.

He breathed shakily against her neck, his voice on the verge of breaking. "Willow, talk to me, will you? I don't care if it isn't clear. As long as you're willing to talk to me, just one word, one word would do." Willow looked up at the endless darkness, her eyes glistening with tears. She couldn't hear, and her world was terrifyingly silent. Willow wasn't happy. Even though Julian tried his best to please her, she wasn't happy. The next morning, the garden was blanketed with a layer of white snow. When the wind blew, it shook the branches of the pine trees, causing the snow to fall.

“Oh, you want to take this mission?” Wilma nodded to him. The receptionist guild immediately took care that Wilma took a mission to find an herbal plant called Wiju herb which is a weed-like plant with a meter-long leaves with serrated edges. This plant grows in the outer circle of Suri forest and usually this mission is done by novice adventurers and can result in a reward of 10 copper coins. This plant is quite useful as one of ingredients for lower level healing potions. This potion was mostly used by commoners and low level adventurers. “You need to find at least five of the Wiju herbs before three days or you will be deemed to have failed for this mission.”
