"We haven't done anything to anger you! Why are you threatening us?!" Asked the town chief with clear anxiousness. One could feel the exasperation built on days of fear towards his people.
The Queen of the Dryads looked at the town chief with a blank expression, yet, after she started speaking, people started to realize how shocked by the words of the town chief she actually was.
"Done nothing!? He has been killing the members of our kind for months now! HE EVEN KILLED OUR YOUNG ONES! We weren't even aware of your existence until you came into the depths of the forest!" She responded after pointing at the stranger who had offered his help to them.
"Don't listen to her. Dryads are known for trying to manipulate the minds of humans.. They separate a group and kill each part individually.." Responded the stranger with a reassuring tone.
Not knowing what to do anymore, the eyes of the town chief shifted between the stranger and the Queen of the Dryads.
