kinda curious about your ocs not gonna lie. bestow me with information, dear mootie

Ok Ok Ok SO

My story is called the redwood chronicles or just redwood hollow, I mostly call it redwood chronicles to separate the story from the location but still.

Here's my like intro speech cause I'm going through and writing out as much as I can for this anyway:

(TWO stories under the cut maybe read if u like original fiction or you're bored or whatever pleaseeeeeeee)

When Mother Nature created the earth she tried to populate it, but after countless days and nights of work she realised she could not do it on her own, and so she built The Creators. The Creators were beings of pure existence, imbued with the ability to build creatures that followed the simple rules Mother Nature laid out.

Together The Creators and Mother Nature populated the earth, watching as their beings grew and changed, and they loved their creations deeply.

One Creator spent it's time creating animals to fill the world, the second created flora to decorate the earth, and the third found a passion project of it's own.

The third Creator slowly molded apes until they stood upright, changing their brains, building their bodies, making these beautiful creatures it loved so much. These were called humans.

The three creators stayed with Mother Nature, working with her, until one day she decided their work was done. But to thank them for their kindness, Mother Nature decided to break her own rules.

She gave each of The Creators the ability to do one thing outside of physic's laws, and after great debate the three chose to modify the third Creators pride and joy, the humans.

The first Creator built the Therianthropes, giving them animal traits, she made people with wings and people who could breathe underwater, people who could see in the dark and people who could run at speeds rivaling the fastest land animals.

The second Creator made the Sylvans, giving them the ability to communicate with plants, Sylvans could move vines and grow flowers at will, they could diagnose diseases in crops and understand the stories of the trees.

The third Creator looked at it's siblings, and their love for their fauna and flora, and how they bestowed that love onto these precious creations it loved so much, and felt unqualified. The third Creator loved it's humans more than anything, but had nothing to show for it.

And so, the third creator made the Soulbounds. Blessing it's humans with the love it felt for them by giving them people who they were eternally bound to, people who would fulfill their lives, put the world into colour, make them whole. Soulmates.

Mother nature returned The Creators to herself, and used their spirit to continue to populate the world, using their power how they would have wanted, to care for the earth they made. Ok yeah so that's the main background for the story BUT THEN

Victoria never remembered a time before she knew the woman in green, she was told she was once part of a village, who threw her out with no rhyme or reason. Victoria couldn't care less for those people.

The lady in green cared for Victoria, teaching her biology, history, sciences, raising her to be a person to be proud of. Victoria loved her life in the tall forests, the lady in green called the trees redwoods, said they were the tallest in the world, but Victoria just knew them as her home.

Victoria celebrated her birthday on the day of the most sun, she danced with the flowers, she befriended the plants, she lived in peaceful isolation with the lady in green, until her 14th birthday.

On the earliest morning of the year, when the summer sun penetrated the all encompassing trees, Victoria met with the lady in green.

"It's time, Victoria," the lady spoke. "You're old enough I'd say."

Victoria followed the lady in green, her raven-black wings working twice as hard to carry her to match the lady's unnaturally long steps.

"Where are you taking me?" Victoria asked.

The lady in green did not respond, she just continued.

The forest slowly eased, and somehow the trees taller than comprehension, faded like there was nothing there, until Victoria found herself in a village.

"Wait, we can't be here-" Victoria gasped, flying onto a thatched roof to avoid the eyes of the people below. The lady in green landed softly on the roof next to the girl and stroked her wild black hair.

"I have never told you, Victoria, but I have a different name." The lady stared down at the people, and despite her shadow blocking the sun from the street below, no one seemed to notice her.

"What?"

"I am the creator, the heart of the planet, the life soul, my name dear, is Mother Nature."

Victoria bit her lip and stared at the lady in green. "You're joking..."

"I am not."

"Why did you decide to play mother to me then? There must be thousands of children without parents, why me?"

Mother Nature turned to look, and stroked Victoria's hair again.

"Because I want you to be my spirit guide."

Victoria didn't get any time to wonder what on earth she was talking about, before Mother Nature stood and jumped off the roof, her sudden drop not being noticed by a single person.

"Come! I need to show you your job."

In spite of her fear, Victoria followed, flying down and following behind the Mother like a lost dog.

The Mother led Victoria down a narrow street, where the stench of death filled her nose, Victoria tried not to gag as her eyes began to water with the putrid stench. People were moving past at great speed, none looking Victoria in the eye.

"Finally! Oh lord Ma'am finally someone who can see me!" A man cried out, reaching for Mother Nature, then missing and going for Victoria instead. "Oh lord you have to help me this isn't right nothing is right!" The man screamed, Victoria could see boils covering his chest and limbs where the tunic he wore hung low off his sallow flesh. But what made Victoria run backward with a shriek was the black rotting flesh on the ends of his arms where he reached towards her.

"Silence!" Mother Nature commanded, "Step away from my daughter sir she is still young."

"Why can you see me?" The man demanded, "Why can't my wife or the doctors or the priest see me but you can?"

"Because you are dead," the Mother explained calmly, "And my daughter is going to guide you to your place of rest."

"I am?" He said in shock as Victoria echoed him in indignation.

"Where the hell is his place of rest?!" Victoria demanded, "you haven't explained anything!"

"Just take him home, Victoria; back the way we came."

Victoria sighed and turned on her heel, she looked again at the man, noting his brightly coloured eyes indicative of a Soulbound, which meant he wouldn't be able to fly. So with annoyance she led the way out of the town, to the edge where she and Mother Nature had emerged.

"So now what? The Redwoods aren't here?" Victoria asked.

"Just keep walking, you'll find your way home," Mother Nature said softly. The motherly tone reminding Victoria of the genuine love she felt for her carer. So Victoria picked a direction and kept walking.

Suddenly it felt like the world shifted like waves around her, the sky turned dark and the ground moved unnaturally, trees began to appear where she could have sworn no trees were before. Without looking back Victoria powered on, walking through the trees until the roots began to swallow them. And once Victoria felt she had finally been lost, she saw the clearing with her small home in it, and sighed in relief.

"What is this?" The man asked, considering everything he seemed like a good sport.

"Do you feel it?" Mother Nature asked. "The sun?"

"Yes," he said, without thinking.

"Do you smell it?"

"My wife's cooking?"

"Yes! Walk to it, your home is there."

The man seemed stupefied, walking into the centre of the clearing, Victoria tried to follow him with her eyes, but felt the sun brighten like it was welcoming him, peering out the glare became to strong and Victoria blinked away the sun. But once her eyes adjusted, he was gone.

"You will be a guide now," Mother Nature explained. "Your job is to lead the souls of the departed to me, so I may have their spirits."

"Is he happy?" Victoria asked, brows furrowed.

"He is no longer, but it is not a sad fate, like the cycle of water or the circle of the food chain, all that dies creates life. He is gone, but from him more life will appear. It is not a sad fate."

"It sounds sad to me," Victoria frowned.

"It would be awfully sad if a child as young as you were to die, yes, but he was ready."

Victoria sat down in the middle of the clearing, staring up at the infinitely tall trees, and Mother Nature sat next to her.

"A bird was just hatched," Mother Nature said quietly. "I think he helped."

"Is this my fate?" Victoria pondered. "To be the destruction of life?"

"No my dear," Mother Nature hushed. "You are the birth of it."

Oh my goodness and that's not even the actual story yet omg- Ok gimme a bit to go find my thing about Victoria and rewrite it to make it not terrible, and I'll tell you how the actual Plot begins.
