Fear of; Trees
Name of Fear; Jumoku
Home; Bestia
NM's Personality; This strange being appears to be an advocate for the ancient tree's of the Bestia, and all within the human realm and beyond. Jumoku meaning literally tree in japenese dispises most all humans, for they distory the youngest and oldest of his kind. Those humans who make "attempts" to live in harmony with the wildness also annoy this leaf sprite. While he is generally not foul tempered he harbors malice for all humans for there belief all belongs to them. He finds Jacob the oddest of all, it is perhaps why has formed this small tenative thing called a bound with a human of all creatures..Only time will tell if this ancient being of the tree's will find it in his heart to treat this human well..Or let him descend into the depths of madness one obtains from being alone in these expansive woods.
Name of Human; Jacob
Human's History; Years ago when Jacob was only a child, he and his class mates had been on a hike to see the falls that resided deep within the trail there teachers we're leading them across. He had paused only for a moment to peer down curious to see what was below..Yet all he was a vast exspancse of a twisted reality. He can never explain what happened that day...He heard a voice, but all to quickly he felt his body spiral as he fell off the edge of the narrow cliff. As he tumbled down the steap path cuts and brusies forming his eyes stinged with tears as he landed with a hard crunch on his leg and looked around in terror. Something whispered threw his mind yet he was too far gone in bewildered panic as he closed his eyes and drifted into a troubled sleep. His dreams were confusing, and distorted. Dispite his efforts he could not make sense of any of it..
Over the course of the next few days he wandered alone, deeper and deeper into the woods. The more he traveled the more morbid the massive looming tree's became.. The scent of moss filled his nostrils as he sat down, a lost soul in a world of expsansive tree's old as time. Then the voice again..That eerie voice again was so close, but the metalic taste on his tounge made him wish to throw up. When again he blacked out he was in his hosptial bed tears streaming down his cheeks. No one believed his story, apparently they'd pulled him from the bottom of the hill not long after he'd fallen and broken his leg. He had not been left for days within the woods.
Years later, Jacob never ride himself of this strange unsettling fear. Yet because it was so strange, he respected nature.. But Jacob never wandered far from the trail..Never stared too long into the depths of rows of trees, when ever he did a sinking sensation made him turn away in a cold sweet. It did not prevent this from happening again although. It was a clear summers twilight, he was on his way back to camp. He and a few friends had chosen to spend the week out camping. They'd told him to not go on the hike that day..Though for reasons beyond Jacob he'd been compelled too.. It was when he passed by a clearing on the trail that opened into an exspanse of forest, that he froze. The feeling was back, but this time was too late. A whisper in his ear made his body freeze. "Found you." The siloulte of a leaf like glowing thing uttered. The sound resonated within his mind, and he felt like he was falling...He hit something hard, perhaps a rock and stared into the sky sending a pleading cry to any that would here him..Instead the strange shadowy figures pressence pressed close by...and he knew there was no turning back.
"You'll bend to my will with or without your sanity~"
