 Each that were small smaller then your thumbnail,each had a meaning each knew who they were,they lived inside a forest inside trees and soft things that were easy to build and make,each year they gathered together too help shape the forest to make it better.All but then one helped that is,she then was a loner she hated the rest,her life was like an insolation in a tree at the end of the forest,she lived by herself with no friends or family ,but she never caused anyone any greive or pain she tells everyone to believe in you and treat others as you would be treated

Then the  gathering was a time when all tell what they feel,let out anything they like to talk about and see what better ways to improve the forest the best they can ..But as usual she never came,never showed up at all. Each knew what they had to do and they did it,each had a part to play in maintaining the forest and each other .

' Let them then have what they have,' she told herself,' I'm happy the way I'am.' But she knew deep inside of herself she was not happy not in the least. But she then was not going to change not for anyone,especially not for anyone in this forest at least ,not now anyways .

And then yet she knew she felt alone she needed someone anyone at this point she was not getting younger and she wanted to carry on her family name and she was after all one of the oldest in the forest ,her body could not continue much more as far as having children were concerned .

But then she wanted too. And she knew she had to ,age was the factor in her case usually one of them had a life of hundred or so thats because they lived here in the forest where everything was provided by nature .And in fact thats how they haved lived then too during the last hundred years .But then too now then  it was afternoon and the sun was high over head as everyone would remain in their homes or places of shelter until the sun would dip down again and they would be able too move around outside again.During then this time some would then sleep or rest but others would spend time doing what they could inside instead of outside

She then knew like everyone else did on this one day a year the sun was the only enemy they had and one that was an easy one to beat as long as you stayed inside during that day .Yet there were those that didn't,a few ,the young in the forest who never listen too anyone anyways .She knew one day the King would have to face those troublemakers ..She knew the King when they were both younger that is ,

With then the sun finally then down the the land was quiet and so were the residents of the forest and then even the troublemakers were at ease they had a quiet night as well.But during the midnight hour as clocks rang across the forest and a strange shapeless dark shadow entered the quiet forest . It moved silently through the night .
 
At first then  the shadow image then  did not bother or disturb the forest or anyone in it,then it got too see the first life form of the forest and then it was curious about that life form so it got closer then to it but only enough to study it no more .

And then too examine it but at a distance .Yet though it had no feelings or emotions of any kind so if it did anything wrong it would not in fact feel sad by it or remorse by it ,it didn't feel .It had none of these feelings .


 

end .
