Cleo watched as the boy halted his circular pacing, looked up through the canopy of leaves, and began to recount his story.

“That depends on who you ask.” He spoke slowly, and she listened intently. “Some would say hell. That I’m not of this world and am clearly some satanic being or infestation. Others would say a volcano, though they would be rather ignorant to reply with that. However, the true answer to your question is a place that no longer exists.”

Only humans would say such cruel things, she thought, frowning deeply. Although Cleo had never strayed far from the Grove, she heard the tales. The tales of humans and their monstrosity, their viciousness in attempt to massacre the people who held the natural power that they could not. She heard the tales and remembered those who fought and did not come home. But now his eyes came back to hers and they were filled with anger, and some pain. “The forest - my home, the place I’m from - was burned to ash. Nothing remains but death and decay. I seek a new home. A safe haven of sorts, somewhere protected from those who wish us dead. Perhaps you know of one?”

“My condolences for your immeasurable loss,” Cleo said without pity, but empathy. She gently folded her leaves and placed them in the pouch about her waist with the others she had gathered earlier. The short fae looked back up at the tall boy before her. “However,” she said with a small, encouraging smile. “You are indeed lucky we have crossed paths today. The Grove would welcome you. Follow me.” She turned and her initial steps were slow, looking over her shoulder at first to make sure the boy would follow.

Funny, she thought genially, how I am escort to him.

“By the by, my name is Cleo.”
