more drawings

it's been awhile since I posted so, I am going to share more of my drawings with you today

first off...a villain I made, I don't often make villains 

so, I am planning on using her in a series once I work out the character and all

this one was partly inspired by a song called  Star of The county down

I drew this after I posted the story, The Forgotten painting. this is the drawing 

that goes with the story , I'l be sure to put it  above 

the story the forgotten painting story in the stories page 

This is a drawing of Celtiere, the boy (half-elf) who is in the painting, but when he is older. 

snow white, from Roses in The snow, a retelling of snow white I am writing. 

the dryad queen, from chapter 5 of Tess's story. 

but this is her before she became queen...

when she was younger...and going on adventures 

which I might write about sometime  

one of the dryad minstrels

and last but not least the dryad queen being crowned 

the four seasons characters

         this is how I see the four seasons, if they where people (or people like creatures).





                                        Spring

          

                            

                  Spring, is a nymph that can make flowers bloom at her command , 

              when she is not making flowers bloom, she is most likely talking to 

                   animals…she is cheerful, kind, and always wants to help 

                                                             Summer

          Summer, a spirit no one knows where he came from, some 

            say he was raised by dragons , others say he was born from

           a volcano but no one knows… Summer

          likes to make heat waves and hot days, and sometimes 

    thunderstorms. but he isn’t always harsh, sometimes the days are less hot,

   and he can make rain without thunder. summer is actually very kind to the other

     seasons, but sometimes he can get angry and cause heat-waves, 

     but when he is happy there will always be a nice-summer day

                                   

                                        Autumn 

                                  autumn , a half elf , may appear normal,

                    until you see that whenever she walks by a tree the leafs

                  turn the colors red , orange , and yellow. 

             she can also make the leafs fall from the trees                      

          .and she can make the wind blow at her command…

             she thought she was normal till someone told her

                of her powers. 

            Autumn is playful , loving , but  is serious and thoughtful 

                                              Winter 

               

        Winter, a half fairy, some say she is the daughter of the north wind, but no one knows, winter can         make snow fall and blizzards, 

        winter, may look cold and unfriendly , but she is really just sad… 

     when she cries icicles form. she likes to be alone most of the time…Autumn is really her only        friend.

Tess short's story chapter 5

Chapter 5 : music in the night 

Morning sunlight shone on the questers, they had survived the night thankfully…but hardly any of them had slept the night, Robin on the other hand did not look tired at all, he looked as if he had gotten a good nights sleep , while the rest of the group had circles under there eyes and could hardly keep their eyes open… “I’m afraid this place is to dangerous for us to stay…” said Robin. “Considering there a people , who want to eat us” he added. “One-eyed people” Inny corrected Robin. “Right, that what I mean anyway…I believe we might have to sleep in a Inn to night” said Robin…Tess let out a Happy squeal…and shouted “FINALLY GOOD FOOD, AND A COMFORTABLE BED!” there was a silence…”What?” asked Tess. “I like umm…being comfortable…don’t you?”. “Of course….” answered Inny.  Robin was silent…”There is a town nearby…just over a few hills…and I doubt any cyclops are there” he said, looking at his map. “Is it a Hobbit Village?” asked Tess. “No…it’s a human village” said Robin. “Why do you ask?” he added. “No Reason…” said Tess and mumbled under her breath “Big people” . “Did you say something?” asked Robin. “No not at all…” said Tess. The questers set off to the village…never knowing of the spy, watching their every move, every jester…it whispered in it’s hollow voice…words no one, but it’s master could understand… 

The group walked to the Village, past many hills ,But they where not inhabited by Hobbits unfortunately …Tess’s feet where tired from walking so far…She almost sat down a few times but Robin pushed her forward. “We need to go…” he said. “We don’t have time to rest”. So Tess continued forward, she felt as if she could walk no fever…but the words of Robin kept her going. The trees leafs rustled in the wind. Trees where normally comforting to her, but she felt as if she was being watched…by something in the tree? No of course not…those tales people told of girls living in trees was probably made up… No they weren’t they were real, just…

There was a rustle in the trees, and a maiden stepped out, she had amber colored hair, and skin the color of the moon. her eyes where a flashing green, “You have trespassed , We do not allow weapons in! that are made by men…” she said, pointing a thorny arrow at Robin. “Who ar-“ Tess began, but the maiden pointed her arrow at her, “Silence…” she said. “But this is a elvish sword” protested Robin, bringing out his sword. “But that down, now” said the maiden…Robin was forced put his sword down. “No Weapons, allowed beyond this point…especially magic ones” she added. “No nature should be harmed or killed…”. there was silence.

“Those nasty hunters” she said. “So careless…and harmless…”, she sounded in verge of tears. “Are you a tree spirit?” asked Tess. “Be quite…but yes, I am” she said. “You may call us, what you like (As long as it isn’t insulting) , we are known as dryads, tree spirits, or nymphs” she said. “Those are beautiful names for your kind-“ began Robin,. “Shush….and be quite elf” she said, and a vine curled around Robin. “And that will be the same for the rest of you” said The dryad. “hunters , will not be allowed in” she said. “You don’t understand, we aren't hunters , woodcutters or anything else like that .. we are just lonely travelers” said Inny. “That what all hunters say” she said, stumping her foot, and more vines curled around the rest of the group… “You took it the wrong way…we where just walking through…” said tess. “And we didn’t mean to intrude!”.  “Please stop, I’m half wood-elf I would never want to hurt nature” she added, almost choking, The vine stopped curling around the questers… “ your a Wood-elf?” asked the dryad. “Yes and I am the daughter of Mr.Short and the wood-elf princess Gletta who gave her throne over to her brother, to be with Mr.Short” spluttered Tess. “Mr.short…I have heard of him, that insane Hobbit” muttered the dryad. “But how do I know you aren’t lying to me?” asked the dryad “Well….” Tess said, how could she? Her name? elves and only elves called her by her Elvish name…but how could that help? at least she could give it a try…”My name known to elves is Tesariel” she said, the moment those words came out of her mouth the vines loosened and she landed thump on the ground. The dryads eyes where wide and surprised…”You are who you say to be” she said, “You are welcome to come to my kingdom of the forest for the night…if you want too” she said, pulling up the questers from the ground. Robin was stunned what had Tess done? and why was this dryad suddenly be so kind to them? And why hadn’t Tess told him her full name…and not just her shortened name? Had telling the dryad her name , done something? “We’d love to” said Robin. “Alright, my mother would probably love you to stay, no guests have come since….” the dryad paused, “Since?” Robin inquired. “Since , mankind  turned there backs on us” she said. “That’s terrible” said Inny. “They have forgotten about nymphs, and that we live in trees, and that if you cut down our tree, we will die” she said. “Now come on” she added. and lead the questers through the wood, and into a clearing of trees. there was serval other dryads, some in there trees, others on the ground, and on a tree so big, and almost seemed to curve into a seat, 

and on the seat sat, a beautiful women her hair was so long and brown it reached all the way to her toes, leafs where in her hair and her eyes where a nice warm blue color, her clothes seemed to be made out of red autumn leafs. As the questers and there friend the dryad came in, she slowly sat up from her seat. “Selena, who are these people who you have brought to my kingdom?” she asked, her voice was soft but you could feel power in it. “Oh mother of dryads…they come in peace, they have no wish to harm us” said Selena , for that was her name. “Is that true” said the women, turning to Robin. “Yes my lady” he said. “We have no wish to harm anyone”. The queen gazed at him for awhile…then she broke into a smile…it was unclear weather she was happy or sad, she looked somewhere in-between. “Welcome” she said. “To the realm of the dryads”. she looked at the questers for a minute, “We’l get you some clean cloths…” she said. “And fresh food and water”. after the questers had been dressed , in clothes completely made out of leafs, which where actually  quite comfortable.”You look like a wood-elf, robin”  giggled Inny, “Well you do too” teased Robin. when the questers came to the dryads feast, it was played out on the table, there where wooden candle sticks , instead of a flame on the candle there was a little fire-fly that flickered on and off, and the table cloth was made completely out of leafs…the feast was set out along the table, mostly fruits…and what looked like leafs. Selena , was already at the table…”Oh hello, you have come to join the feast haven’t you?” she asked. “Yes” said Tess, happily. and immediately sat, down on the log next to the table. Robin and Inny, fellowed…Inny stared at the food, it was leafs and water. “Inny is everything alright?” asked Tess. “Yes…umm..do you have anything else to eat besides..leafs and water?” asked Inny. “Leafs are the best food you could get around here” said Silena. “Water is fresh from the stream…” she added. “But i’m afraid that all the food we have right now…it’s because of those people…”….In her eyes there was fear and sadness. “I’m sorry if I upset you” said Inny. “Oh don’t worry…it’s just the sadness that has fell over our realm” she said. “What do you mean?” asked Robin. “ever Since man-kind turned their backs on us, and forgot about us…darker things have started to happen…” she said turning her head to the trees, in the distance. “I’m not quite sure what happened to them, but they seem to have gone all evil and cold in side, the dryads who live there haven’t wanted to talk to us , if we go talk to them…they will drop acorns and pin-needles on us…or just tell us to leave, there trees leafs have changed to a midnight black color, their bark is as cold as ice” she said looking into the distance. “Let us eat” said Silena, changing the subject. Inny took a sip of the water, it tasted more then just water, it tasted slightly like Lemon and lime, but it had coolness water normally has. “Where did you get this water?” asked Inny. “From the stream” said Silena. “It is quite magical…but that’s a long story” she added. More dryads started to sit down at the table…. “what brings you to our forest? asked Silena. “Well…” began Robin. “the journey was long, we did run into a few dangers , such as cyclopes…we almost got eaten by those terrible one-eyed beasts …” he said. Silena nodded, “continue…” she said. “As we left we ran into you…it isn’t quite a long tale, but our journey has been filled with beauty and dangers” he said. “Indeed” said Silena…”You look like you have had a long journey…I have stayed here for over fifty or something years…Time has passed slowly , hardly anything has happened expect, woodcutters trying to cut down our trees and other things” she added. “If only I could see the world beyond the forest”…. 

with that three dryad minstrels broke into a song:

Autumn leafs faling from the trees,

in and out, through the meadows, 

past the streams. 

ah ah ah…

autumn leafs faling from the trees 

in and out, past the pine trees , 

through the marshes 

 ah ah ah….

I danced through the forest leafs in my hand, little did I know danger was at hand…

ah ah ah…. 

Autumn leafs falling from the trees 

in and out…through the meadows

past the steams,

ah ah ah… 

In caves, past the winding stair, I saw it standing there 

ah ah ah… 

Autumn leafs falling from the trees 

in and out , past the pine trees 

through the marshes

ah ah ah… 

 Red eyes , clothed all in black 

a shiver went down my spine , for danger had crossed the line

ah ah ah… 

Autumn leafs falling from the trees 

in and out, through the meadows 

past the streams ,

Ah ah ah… 

later that night the questers where shown where they would sleep, it was clearing, it was surrounded by trees..beds made out of leafs where laid out on the ground. 

fire flies in lanterns where in the trees..Silena bid them a good night and left… Tess and Inny were the first people to fall asleep, Robin though was lost in thought, there journey had just started and there would be dangers ahead… 

The forgotten painting

on the wall of a great castle, there is a painting of three figures, but one is covered by a dark black cloth, the two figures, are a women and a young boy, the women is wearing a long blue gown…her red hair is tied back into a long braid , and if you looked at her for awhile you would see that her ears are pointy and elf like…the young boy has point ears like the woman, in the painting but if you looked at them closely you would see that they not quite as pointy as the woman in the painting. he is wearing a red tunic , with a Phoenix  embroidered  on it. his eyes are a deep green color like pine-needles , and his hair is a fiery red-orange color. If you were to lift up the dark black cloth from the painting you would see that the other figure was human , and you would see that he was holding a cross bow in one hand and the hand of the young boy’s in the other. he has midnight black hair and and pine-needle green eyes, like the young boy. but you can feel power in his eyes , as if he has brought down dangerous enemies and creatures…but there is also kindness in his eyes. these are the lord and lady of  Demira  and their son Celtiere. 

------------

Celetir is a half  elf character I made, I figured he deserved a dramatic backstory...

by the way Demira is named after the greek goddess Demeter goddess of the heartiest and whenever her daughter persephone return from the underworld spring is here again, the phoenix  idea came because of the idea of how the phoenix turns to ashes and comes back as a phoenix, the idea was that the city resembled re-birth , spring and the phoenix are the symbols of the city I made

Tess Short story chapter 4

Chapter 4: the one eyed ones 

As they traveled , Tess did not complain it was so nice out, if this was what  adventure was like why didn’t everyone go on one? And why did Hobbits always complain about them?  while Tess was enjoying herself she did not know she and her friends where being fellowed by a spy! It was lurking in the bushes watching the questers…”Do you feel like someone is watching us?” asked Robin, stopping the horses. Inny looked behind her, and shrugged. “Well…it doesn’t look like anybody is fellowing us, Maybe your elf ability to reading minds is umm…not working the way it should” said Inny. “Of course it’s working” said Robin. “Why wouldn’t it work?” he said. “I can hear your thoughts right now” said Robin. “Robin…you have no need to get worked up about this” said Tess, stopping the argument between Robin and Inny. “And what dangerous beings will we meet on this adventure?” asked Tess, trying to sound as adventurous as possible. Robin looked at her then said, “Dragons….trolls, mountain trolls, gains, goblins and a lot of other creatures” said Robin. “Oh and did you bring a weapon? you will need it” said Robin. Tess reached into her bag, yes it was still there but it was probably more useful to roll out dough and make cookies rather then fighting monsters. “Yes I brought a weapon with me…” said Tess. what if she told Robin it was a rolling pin, would he laugh? do elves laugh? she was a elf, but she mean’t a elf that wasn’t part Hobbit…but what if he thought she wasn’t cut out for the adventure? “It’s a dagger” she lied. “My father’s dagger!” she added. “Daggers are very useful” said Robin. “I’m glad you brought one with you”. The group was quite for a little..only the sound of birds was heard

Tess wondered weather Robin had read her thoughts and knew if she had brought a Rolling pin. But he seemed to think she had brought a Dagger. The brave adventurers traveled far..through the country side. 

the wind blew through Tess’s hair. the birds chirped…why would she need a weapon anyway? there seemed to be no danger at all! But Robin kept looking as if he was worried someone was watching him. “Is everything alright Robin?” asked Tess. “I am unsure, I feel as if someone is watching us…” said Robin. “I feel the same way” said Tess almost in a whisper. As the sun-setted the questers set up the camp for the night, Inny got the fire-wood, Tess was told to keep the horses safe, and Robin took the first watch…It was a very silent night and a cold one too, Tess stayed as close to the fire as she could (Without singeing her hair) 

the fire flickered once or twice, Tess felt her eyes closing, she would wait for Robin to tell her it was her turn, she drifted off into a deep sleep.

And was whisked off into a dream…

Fog..surrounded her…were was she? where ever she was (Or wasn’t it was a dream wasn’t it?) it didn’t seem good, at all. Bushes near by where bear…thorns covered them, Tess couldn’t tell what color they where…but they looked black. there was a path that seemed to lead to nowhere…she couldn’t really stop herself but she fellowed it, her legs seemed to be moving on there own…tried as she might she couldn’t stop herself, the path was endless as if seemed, but her feet kept moving…voices where everywhere..she couldn’t quite make them out only a few words “Immortality” and “Elves”. she didn’t quite know what that mean’t…

suddenly out of the darkness a bright light shone, Tess let out a shriek….

Tess’s eyes opened she sat up , “Tess are you alright?” asked Robin, he wasn’t quite sure what had happened to Tess she looked as if she seen a ghost, though he could read thoughts,he felt Tess was blocking him from reading hers. “Yes…fine” said Tess, from the look in her eyes she looked very scared. “Robin, I can take the next watch for you” said Tess. “I have had a enough sleep for tonight anyway”. “Alright…be my guest” said Robin. Robin sat and thought, Tess seemed to hiding something from him, but what? But why would she be hiding something, couldn’t she trust them? wasn’t he a trusting person er.. elf? 

“ROBIN!” said Inny, “Yes?” he asked. “The Hobbit is missing” said Inny. “The Hobbit? we brought a hal-“ began Robin.  “Half Hobbit, I know but she is gone” said Inny. “We’d better search for her” said Robin. “I’l got that way you go-“ began Robin, “Robin, there are only two of us. one could get lost….or worse” said Inny. “Two of us and a horse” Robin corrected Inny. “Robin! I know your horse can talk but…we need to find Tess” said Inny, “I know…we better go now, you never know where Tess could’v ended up” said Robin. Robin took one direction and Inny took another, they planed that they would meet back at the Big Oak tree.

 Robin walked down the road calling out Tess’s name, there was no-reply unfortunately only the still silence of the night. “Tess!” he called, his voice echoed. Tess seemed to be gone or worse….As he walked he was busy calling tess’s name that he didn’t watch where he was going and tripped over something hard…he looked up, something was starring at him , with brown eyes and was covered with lot’s of white fluffy fuzz. And it was quite large, “A GAINT SHEEP!” screamed Robin. “Who goes there?” asked a voice, it was deep and angry. Robin ducked under the sheep. what else was he to do? a huge man with one eye , came up, “Well…it seems like nothing, Only the sheep.” said The one eyed man. “Come on…how should we bake this Hobbit ..elf…halfling thing?” said anther one eyed man. Robin watched from behind the sheep and saw Tess, she hardly seemed to be breathing, and she was pale too, “Should we eat her raw?” , “No…look at her feet , would you want to eat that raw they look stinky” said The one-eyed man. “Maybe we should bake her on the pan, and scramble her” the other one said. Robin thought those ideas sounded well…disgusting. he had to get Inny and tell her,but he couldn’t leave Tess. But he had to do something , he couldn’t leave Tess to be eaten. Then a idea hit him, he climbed from to under the sheep. “Hello” he said, trying to sound as brave as possible. “What are you cooking?” he asked. “Oh a Elf…er Hobbit elf halfling..thing. But we can’t figure out how to cook it” said the One eyed man, who Robin recognized as a cyclops. “Well…umm…I recommend..putting her in a sake and then leaving her next to the tree, and come back in a matter of hours” said Robin. “Then she will be ready to eat” he added.  The cyclops agreed through they didn’t know what they where going to be getting into…They left and hoped this strange elf would cook there dinner for them. when they left Robin went up to Tess he hoped she wasn’t dead, “Tess?” he asked. “Oh and what is your name?” asked The cyclops coming around the corner, “Tess!” said Robin not noticing the cyclops. “Tess..that’s a interesting name, I will eat you after I eat that thing…” said the cyclops pointing to the real Tess. “Now he’s going to eat me” mumbled Robin. “Tess?” asked Robin, Tess hardly seemed to be moving.  “Please wake up, where having Elevenses” said Robin. Tess don’t move. Maybe some elvish healing herbs could help , he had brought some with him just in case. First thing he did was to get Tess out of the sack , then rubbed of the herbs on the stretches, then murmured  a spell in elvish , the stretches on her skin despaired. Very slowly her eyes opened , “Robin!?” she said out of surprise. “I had a dream that clyopes where planning on eating me” said Tess. “They are and we’d better go now!” said Robin, taking tess by the hand and running as fast as he could. “Why hello Tess, you didn’t prepare my meal did you” asked the giant cyclopes. “I don-“ began Tess, but Robin Interrupted her “The Meal is not ready” Lied Robin. “Please come back in a few more hours” said Robin. The cyclops laughed a deep , roaring laugh that echoed across the country side, surprising serval birds.

“How about we eat this elf and this uhh..thing raw” said The cyclops. Robin gulped, “ cyclops what is that over there?!” asked Robin, pointing his figure…off into the bushes, “What? I don’t see anything” said the clyopes leaning over, Robin took a big leap and landed feet first on the cyclops. the cyclops weakest spot was it’s eye..many people had done it before, Robin reached for the hilt of his sword, but wasn’t sure wouldn’t it be unfair to do it to him. But he was trying to eat his friend Tess, Tess was gesturing stab in, But Robin felt sweat go down his neck, what would he do? he hated to see any creature suffer , the cyclops was feeling around for Robin trying wack him with his club. Robin jumped here and there trying to not get hit , he had his sword out. “I’l get you, Tess” the cyclops shouted. few cyclops passed by and heard the cyclops crying “Tess is hurting me”. “Who is Tess…” asked a cyclops. “do you know anybody named Tess?” the other one asked. “No but we’d better eat dinner” said the cyclops, and left. The cyclops kept letting out wails , and screams…but no cyclopes came for aid they just thought he was in a very angry (Don’t bother him) Kind of mood. Tess was trying to district the cyclops as well as she could, But Robin was laying helpless on the cyclops, well hanging onto his arm , he wasn’t sure what to do…he had lost his chance to stab the cyclops , but seeing the sight of blood made him feel sick. but he had almost eaten his friend and probably had eaten serval other people. But was it the right thing? “Robin , do something” said Tess. he knew he had to do something…but what the cyclops was still trying to hit the little person on him (Which of course was Robin).With that club, unless Robin could manage to get the cyclops to hit himself! Robin climbed onto the top of the cyclops arm, and shouted “ cyclops come and get me” he said, jumping from the cyclops left arm to his right, then to his head to his arm and so on…the cyclops was busy trying to hit that little person who was climbing cyclops him…”Come and get me!” shouted Robin again. Jumped into the cyclops head again, the cyclops was very angry by now he lifted up his club , Robin jumped down , and the club landed down on the cyclops head….he rocked side to side…”We have to leave now!” said Robin, Running as fast as his feet could carry them , Tess was tripping over her own feet trying to keep up…”Slow down!” she shouted. ”Oh Tess, Sorry!” he sad, running back, grabbing her and running as fast as he could, as the cyclops fell down on the ground when he fell the whole ground shook and dust was kicked up. “Are you alright?” asked Robin. “Yes fine” said Tess, who was rather dazed. “Are you sure?” asked Robin. “Positive..now we’d better find Inny” said Tess. 

“She’s probably back at the big oak tree” said Robin. “Here I can take you there” he said. 

When they got there they found Inny staring down at her feet, her long black hair covering her face. she was crying. “I lost Tess, I lost the half Hobbit!” she wailed. “I’m probably the worst person I mean hag who was ever lived” she cried. Robin stepped up to her, “Inny don’t worry I found her” he said. Inny looked up, her eyes where red from crying . “you did?” she asked, hopefully. Tess came forward. “I’m sorry about what I said about Hobbits” Inny cried, and brought Tess into a rather tight hug, “It’s alright, Inny.” said Tess. “But a can’t breath!!” she said. “Oh sorry” said Inny, who let go of Tess. “But what happened?” asked Inny. Tess took a deep breath and said “when it was my turn to take watch , you to a believe where falling asleep” there was a pause , did Robin sleep at all? she continued “I thought I should get some fresh air…so I went took a short walk and unexpectedly a giant one-eyed man came up to me, and grabbed me by the foot…then everything went black”. “That’s all I remember” she said, through she sounded calm Robin knew she was scared…

Later that night no one slept a wink, everyone sat starring at each other  , hardly saying a word, or just starring into the fire…The Night passed slowly…
