Children of the Nymph

The Nymph's appearance was completely unexpected and very different from before. 

Not that black hair didn't suit her or anything, rather the contrast against her pale skin and red dress was rather fetching – It was just surprising to see how much she had changed.

Why did she suddenly turn into a brunette? 

I didn't even think it was possible for a Nymph to change their appearance.

My nestlings were just as surprised as me, and since all the Veladrys were bowing, they looked at me to see what to do. Yet, aside from staring at the creatures before us, I was speechless.

The Nymph wasn't alone, there were four figures approaching us, which made me very unnerved for some reason. 

They were similar to Veladrys in that their bodies were linked to the roots on the ground, but they didn't have that distinctive pink hair the other Veladrys had.
