Time marched forward. Always forward. Never back. Times changed. Seasons, people. Cities fell and new ones arose. But there was one that always remained. She showed up from time to time, but to what she was, still was a mystery. There were legends that came about regarding her. A mysterious woman in the forest. Illusive. She would show up from time to time offering advice but always disappeared, leaving a red rose behind. They gave her a new name now, a spectre.
She wasn't a spectre. No one alive now knows what she is. She is neither dead, nor alive. She is just.
She sat upon the stump in her Grotto. A place deep withing the forest, guarded by the trees. Animals felt safe there. They sought refuge and received it well within. Every now and then, a passerby would move past. Some would get a chill and continued on. Others didn't notice entirely. She awaited now on the stump. Who would come to her or seek her out. What knowledge does she possess and who was she?
After a moment or two, her eyes opened. Red hues glanced about her domain. "Something....is different now.." she spoke to herself as she just continued to sit. To feel the earth moving under her. It spoke to her. And she listened.

The spirits of nature often spoke to Krixia of so many things at once, it was hard to pay attention to all of them at once. With her focus and attention on one thing in particular at the moment, though, mention of this particular being was heard for a change. The woman would go see as many creatures as she could in the wilds of nature.
Since she was in a hurry, the black tiger approached first. What was guarded from most was the same as any other for The Shaman. Padding her way through the grotto, the giant cat showed herself to Alexandra, showing her full form in all it's majesty while she inspected her.
After a moment or two of silence from her, the tiger shifted from beast to woman, staff in hand, wearing her shamanistic garb. Alexandra was met with a smile and words instead of greeting. "That's because it is changing, dear. Whether it's small or large, it never stops changing. Right now, it just happens to be louder than anything else."
That said, she lets her attention be diverted, eyes shifting to her left before landing on Alexandra again. "I was, however, on my way elsewhere.... important. But I finally answered my curiosity of whispers of you. My name is Krixia. Should you seek one such as I out for anything, simply ask here within the grove. If I'm able, I will come."
Obviously she was very preoccupied, for the moment she finished her words, she simply offers another smile, shifts back into the beast, and heads out of the grove, some foliage seemingly wrapping around her as she passes, hiding the grotto once more.

Ruby hues gazed upon the black tiger as she approached her stump. She knew that this tiger wasn't just another animal who wandered into the Grotto. She regarded her for a moment or two in silence before the tiger shifted forms. "Yes, The world we live in constantly changes. From time to time, the change is enough to be felt violently as if a fly was caught in a spider's web." she smiled softly to her.
She arose from her stump in a fluid movement to stand before Krixia. She seemed very occupied, but Alexandra remained calm. Serene as always. "My name is Alexandra. And the same goes for you. If you have need of me or my Grotto, call upon me. My Grotto is a place of refuge. A place for Solace. It maybe the last remaining such things in this ever changing land." she smiled meekly to the woman. She canted her head softly as she shifted back to her tiger form and left the grotto.
"Interesting woman.." she sat back down on the stump and the ivy creaped around her legs, enveloping them much like a blanket would. "I hope to see her again one day." She looked down as she felt a bump upon her hand. There was a fawn. Alexandra smiled and petted the fawn tenderly. "I'm so glad you found solace, little fawn." she whispered to the animal before it went back to its mother.

That old guy was walking by as he came across the scene. Seemingly lost in thought as he smoked his long ivory pipe. The man was old and a bit decrepit. He bore a smile on his face, and his over all visage was friendly and inviting. To just anyone in particular he would seem like just a kind old hermit, those who could sense magic would know him to be a wizard. However to those who could sense things deep, those who were ancient and connected to nature would be betrayed by their senses. The old mans aura was ghastly, smelling of rot and death. Anyone who might be able to see aura visually would see his as a sickly neon green mist, flowing around him like a shroud. Some may even mistake him for death himself. Alexandra may even be able to feel his age, the old man was ancient like her, perhaps not as old but it was possible he may be old enough to know her.
He seemed in deep thought as he approached to Grotto, seemingly by mistake. He had already missed Krixia but he blinked suddenly, watching as the fawn leaped across the field in front of him, giving him enough time to notice Alexandra and the surounding area.

Shortly after Krixia left, another visitor came in. Ruby hues watching the man who seemed normal, but she knew all to well. She sensed his age. She could sense his aura. The ground and the plants trembled at his appearance. She heard their whispering.
A rabbit nearby him scampered off. Any animal that was close to him would flee. Alexandra, did not. She sat there on her stump, perfect posture. Everything was perfect. The man would know what this Grotto was. Possibly the last in existence. But Alexandra did recognize him for a moment. She remembered she had seen him before, but it had been a very long time since that last meeting.
"Greetings, Elder." She smiled to him. Their age was unknown to many. He might be older than her, or she older than him. But she chose to address him as the elder at this time. "Welcome to the Grotto. Please. Find solace here and rest your weary form." she spoke to him as if he were a mortal passing through. She knew better though, and he would know that she knew better. A soft wind blew passed her, blowing her white hair to the right. The Ivy still around her legs upon the stump. "It has been quite a while, Elder."

The old man looked up at her, giving her a knowing grin as he approached her, gripping his back and groaning as he sat down on a nearby log. He took a deep breath, his bright green eyes like daggers piercing through her as he looked upon her. He licked his lips, his voice was deep and wise. "I haven't seen a place like this in a very long time." He said, taking another puff of his pipe, releasing a ring of smoke into the air. The herbs that he smoked were soothing, calming and seemed to betray his aura. If this kind old man was a visage he definitely was playing the master game. "What is your name child?" He asked after a moment, giving her a friendly smile as he tapped his finger gently on his pipe.

Watched the man pull his charade. She knew all too well of who and what he was. She smiled though, nonetheless. "My name...isn't of importance, Elder." She spoke softly "You can drop the act. You know well that I know what you are, Elder." she smiled as Ruby hues watched him carefully. "And you know fully well there is nothing you can do to harm me or the Grotto, not in a typical sense at least. So tell me. Why are you back upon this plane?" she asked him as she turned her head to him.
He played the part well, he had it down pat. And those who didn't know, would easily be tricked by his skill. She wont be one of those, not today.

The old man began to laugh, giving her a soft smile as he did so. He gently shook his head before looking back at her. "You seem to be mistaken, I have no intention of doing anything to this grotto." He spoke plainly, methodically this time as if his persona was breaking. His expression never changing however, still giving off the warm grin. "I simply stumbled into the area while in thought and deciding to investigate." He explained, taking a moment to draw from his pipe once again. He took a deep breath, exhaling the smoke in little rings as if he was playing with it. "Don't let my aura deceive you girl... I rarely attack without reason. I am after all a man of reason." He took a moment more, resting his hand and pipe back down to his lap. "How about this, since I don't normally give my name out to just anyone... a proposition? You give me your name and I will give you mine in return. I may even tell you what and who I am."

She listened to his words. He meant no ill towards the Grotto, she knew that. She nodded softly as he spoke. "These days, one can't be not overly cautious....Especially that aura." she smiled. "Things must be protected." She decided to let him be for now. If he truly meant ill, he wouldn't be able to go into the Grotto in the first place.
He puffed on his pipe and talked about a bargain. "Sounds....fair enough. But you say your name first. You are my guest after all." she chuckled softly looking upon him

The old man gave a chuckle and nodded. "Fair enough... My name is Farron Alder." He greeted her formally, bowing his head to her. He looks back to her as he raises his head, taking another puff of his pipe. He leaned back a bit, taking a look around the area as he blew a few smoke rings. His aura fluttered as he drew long on his pipe, the herbs in the pipe seemed to effect his aura or mask it in some way.

She listened to him speak his name. She recognized it from some time ago. She smiled softly as she would return the same gesture. "Alexandra De Montague." she spoke of her name. He may or may not know of the Montagues from long long ago. They were all believed to be gone. Apparently not.
She watched him blow smoke rings, she was never a smoker and didn't fancy the stuff. It tended to stink up her Grotto. "What are you doing back in this land? Creating havoc?" not like she would do anything about it. Curious to say the least.

The old man gave her a warming chuckle and shoot his head gently. "Oh no... I wouldn't say creating havoc... I am just tired of sleeping is all." He said to her, giving her the slightest of winks. He took another puff from his pipe before continuing, leaning back ever so slightly. "I have been sleeping for quite some time and I have decided to make good on an old promise I made." He said finally with a gentle smile. "What brings you back miss Montague?" He asked after a short silence.

Herself had been asleep in this grotto for quite sometime too. she nodded. "The same as you...I was asleep of the Ages. Something.....Something made the earth stir. A change. It awoken me. Much as it probably awakened you." she looked to him, Ruby eyes studying. "What promise was that?" she asked, curious about what he promised someone.

The old man gave her a glance at this question, a look of grim and malice for only a second before he gave her a grin and his facade returned. It was so quick that anyone not looking would miss it entirely. "Oh... I wouldn't want to sully this pleasant conversation with talks of dark doings... Suffice to say I intend on collecting an old debt." He said after a pause, taking a moment to puff once again on his pipe. He knew that it was odd, especially someone as old as she may be to witness someone who was clearly evil and yet docile and inviting. He smiled to her once more giving her a calm nod as he placed his hands together on his lap.

An old debt. There were very few creatures still about that could still hold the ends of a debt from long ago. Perhaps it was handed down from generations ago. The olderman was unclear of that. She nodded as he didn't want to get into the grim details. "I understand. Well, my Grotto is open for those who need respite...Even if someone of your old character." she smiled. "You remember the rules of these Grottos and their forbidden rules of course.." she smiled, her smile was eerie. Almost downright scary.
There wasn't very few Grottos left in the world. As far as she knew, she was the last Guardian. "So feel free to relax for the time being." she offered to him, gesturing with her hand. "Would you like something to break your fast, since you've been asleep all this while." she smiled again. She knew he probably wouldn't partake, but she was a host after all. And she had to oblige him, somewhat.

The old man smiled to her, giving her a respectful nod to her hospitality. He took one last puff of his pipe, letting the smoke trail into the air before placing his pipe back into his robe gently. He grunted as he shifted his body, giving her another warm smile as she offered him sustenance.
"Actually that doesn't sound like a bad idea." He said after a time, not having eaten much since his awakening and for good reason. "I wouldn't mind a taste of good food. It is rare that I eat now days." He said with a chortle, giving her an approving nod.
