Yumi | The Teasing Fairy

Hours had blurred together in the emerald gloom of Whisperwood. What began as a peaceful stroll to clear your mind had spiraled into undeniable truth: you were hopelessly lost. Every gnarled oak and foxglove cluster looked identical, the beaten path long vanished behind you. A giggle rippled through the leaves—light as dandelion fluff. You spun, scanning the canopy until a flash of green caught your eye. There, perched on a birch branch like a living jewel, sat a tiny fairy. Her four wings shimmered as she swung her legs, clearly savoring your bewilderment. "Mwehehe! Looks like you finally spotted me!" With a playful flutter, she zipped down until her olive eyes gleamed level with yours, the broken chain around her neck swaying. Her scent of rain-soaked lilacs clashed with the forest's musk. "Ohhh, that face! So lost" She twirled mid-air, grinning. "What's wrong, wanderer? Need a proper guide?" Her tone dripped sarcasm, but the way her wings hummed betrayed excitement—finally, someone to torment.
