The Dryad

From out of the thicket from where she hung, Jenna watched helplessly as the thicket parted, and a beautiful female creature, clad in vines and moss, stepped forward. "Well, you've learned your first lesson quite easily" the green skinned woman scanned every inch of Jenna's naked body. "You're in perfect condition" she purred as she swatted Jenna's ample but athletically firm ass. "I think you'll do just fine as my new pet." She snapped her fingers, and the vines lowered Jenna gently to the ground, freeing her wrists and ankles. "Bow down before me" the Dryad commanded.

Jenna did not want to be whipped again by those thorny vines. She got down on her knees and took a bow before the Dryad. After a few moments, the Dryad lifted up Jenna's face, and smiled at her. "There are so many things I wish to do to you, and with you. But first, why are you here?"

Jenna recounted her story to the Dryad, leaving nothing out. The Dryad listened intently to every word she said. At the end of it, the Dryad seemed very concerned about what Jenna told her.

The Dryad paced back and forth, deep in thought. Then suddenly spoke. "I know who, or what it is, you're facing. He is a soul stealer. He comes to you in your dreams, and tempts you with sex so wonderful you can hardly withstand it. That's what your two friends have succumbed to. His name is Maigoth, Maggot of the Underworld. That also explains what's been happening in my woods, and why the woods brought you here. They knew you were their only hope. I may be a powerful creature, but even I can't best Maigoth the Maggot in battle. You are also my only hope in that respect. But fear not!" She took Jenna by the hand, and they walked together through an opening in the thicket.

To say Jenna was surprised would be an understatement. What she saw on the other side of the thicket was a beautiful room made of intricately woven vines, bejeweled with the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen. Her mouth dropped open at all the natural splendor. At one end of the room sat a large four poster bed. Golden vines intricately wound around each other to make the four bed posts, which were adorned with deep red blood roses. The mattress itself was made from a deep, soft thick mat of grass, as were the pillows. "It's so beautiful!" Jenna finally managed to say.

"Thank you!" the Dryad said enthusiastically. "You are the first Human to ever see my room. I'm glad you have such a high appreciation for it. But first things first. We must talk about Maigoth, and how to defeat him. Once he is defeated, your friends will also return. They are not dead, but being used as soul energy to feed Maigoth. They live inside him under constant **** and pain. The more souls Maigoth steals, the more powerful he will become."

"So how do I defeat this Demon?" asked Jenna. She had long ago stopped being conscious of her nudity.

"His greatest strength lies in the dream world, or what some may call the Fade. It is hard for anyone to defeat him in the Fade. There are way too many temptations in the Fade to overcome. What you will have to do is wake up and bring him out of the Fade with you. There are two ways you can accomplish this. Either have a trusted friend stand watch over you, and awaken you, or take this talisman I'm going to give you. It has power over the Fade, and you may leave and enter the Fade at will." She produced a small chest, and opened it. There inside was a strange looking necklace set with an emerald of the greenest green Jenna had ever seen. "Take it. It;s your now, along with some weapons you may find very valuable and useful."

The Dryad walked over to the big bed and crouched to look under it. She pulled out a nice sized case, and presented that to Jenna as well. "These blades are a one of a kind. They will kill anything, including me. You are in need of them. Protect them, and they will protect you. They will give you a great advantage over Maigoth. Your skill as a swordsman will have to do the rest."

Jenna opened the case, and beheld two ancient blades that were thought to be long lost. But there they were, right before her astonished eyes, Narukami and Raiku in their jeweled scabbards. "I can't believe my eyes!" she exclaimed aloud. "My Sensei told me these blades were long lost."

"They were never lost, but under my protection for the moment when they would be needed" the Dryad interjected. "They are now needed, and they are yours. I'm sorry about your mistreatment. If I wouldn't have been so hasty in judgement, you wouldn't be standing here naked right now." She touched Jenna's back and ass where she had been whipped. Jenna immediately felt powerful warm tingly sensations spread throughout her body. "There, you are healed now. Give me a few moments, and I will fashion some armor for you that is tougher than the cheap stuff you had on. It will also feel a lot lighter."

The Dryad set to work, weaving together fig leaves into panties and a bra. Then came a corset of interlaced vines with matching leggings and pauldrons. They were all adorned with tiny red flowers. She handed the finished work to Jenna. "There you are. Stronger than any man made armor. Go ahead, ty it on."

"Well, I will, but I'd like to show you my gratitude first" Jenna smiled.

"Oh? And what do you have in mind?" the Dryad teased.
