Oh Snap! [open!]

[illmi]

It was starting to get cooler in the Zyabeth Forest as autumn began to creep up on Yviex. Illmi sighed as she peeked out from behind a leaf. She was taking a nap with Oliza earlier when she thought she had heard the sounds of people walking through the forest. Not wanting to let her curiosity get the best of her, she stayed in her rose bush for the day, tending to Oliza whose wing was now fully mended. Oliza was now happily eating away at the aphids that were attacking the rose bush.

Illmi watched the ladybug for a while before getting bored and decided she needed to go out for a bit. Whoever she had heard earlier should be gone by now. "I'll be back in a little while," she said to the ladybug patting her on the head. Oliza seemed to have had her fill of the tiny bugs and was starting to doze off.

Illmi investigated the area around her to make sure there was nothing suspicious. She came from behind a thick oak tree when she noticed a cluster of leaves that wasn't there before, they even seemed out of place for they weren't oak leaves. Slowly moving forward to inspect it, she picked up one of the leaves to inspect it. It was an orange tree leaf. Growing curious she couldn't help but to investigate further. There was a small thread she did not notice and as she moved the leaves away it was too late.

THUNK!

The fairy panicked, she had noticed the bars of the cage too late and the lid swung down too fast, smacking her into the tiny square. Growing scared she flew around the cage trying to get it to shake open but then an ominous click sounded as the lid locked itself close.

Boliko strode through the forest, his long, grey cloak dragging across the grass. His staff he held in his right hand, which moved in synchronisation with his swift movements. His grey wizards hat flopped to the left, and a pipe smoked from his worn, wrinkled mouth. A smile drew to his lips as he walked through the forest, listening to the constant chatter of the woodland animals. He ran his left hand through his long, straggly beard which hung down low to his waist, pondering the workings of a forest. Brown leaves slowly dropped from the trees, like a rain of dying flowers.

The powerful Wizard-King of Temarra bent down to examine a small arachnid which was slowly weaving a web. The elderly Maji couldn't help but admire nature in this way. The power of the earth in the world of Yviex was a magic in it's own right. However, a glint caught the wizard's eye. He slowly raised himself up, taking another puff on his long, brown pipe. A small ring of smoke rose up from the end, going into the night sky.

He walked over to the object that had caught the attention of his knowledgable silver hues. He picked it up, and heard a faint noise from within. He gently rattled it - from what he made of it, it was a trap to capture animals lured in to it. He raised it up to face level with his left hand, and using his right he tapped his staff at the lock. A burst of white magic energy flew from the tip of his walking stick, and into the inside of the lock. He heard the catch unlock, and he lifted the lid open.

As Illmi panicked, she flew frantically about the cage, making it rattle a bit. Her glow brightened as she tried to find a way to burst the cage open. However, she didn't weigh enough to do much damage to it. Loosing hope, Illmi fell to the bottom of the cage and wept, clenching her fists and curling up into a fetal position.

She had been laying there for a while when she heard the sound of something walking towards her. Fearing it was whoever set the trap, Illmi sat up and froze. Her cage then moved, causing her to slide to a corner as someone picked it up. Still thinking it was whoever set it coming to claim his prize, she watched the latch to see if it would open.

Sure enough, there was a the sound of the lock unlocking and then a crack of light shone in. Covering her eyes she peeked out to see who was there.
