Race: Daphnaie (Cannabis ruderalis variant)

S.e.x: Female

Level:0 (True body is still unformed)

Age: 0 (Still in nascent gestational stage)

(* Plant growth period 5 weeks)

Class: undetermined (Still developing)

Sub-class: N/A

Description: Daphnaie are a sub species of dryad that are born from laurel trees.

(Past knowledge)

Description: Some rare examples have been known to begin forming in flowering plants but few are born due to the natural life span of the plant being too short to provide enough time for the soul to form properly.

Racial tendencies: The Daphnaie is a female only race each one as Vain and beautiful as they are bashful and timid. Most Daphnaie avoid other races with the few exceptions of pure hearted maidens and unicorns. Daphnaie have an inborn fear of all males and will avoid them at all costs. This phobia is caused by the circ.u.mstances of their races creation and similar cases that have happened throughout history. Since the Daphnaie are known for using their dextrous frames to run away at the first sign of danger most believe they are a weaker race. Those that chase them into the forest believing they can catch a beautiful slave for themselves, or to make a tidy sum at the market learn just how dreadful they can become.

Racial talents: Every member of the Dryad races have a powerful connection to the natural elements and tend to become talented spell casters as a result. Daphnaie are the exception to this rule, with a much smaller Mana pool than their cousins Daphnaie have to depend on their agility and cunning to deal with any dangers to the forest they reside in. Masters of trap crafting, archery, animal handling, creating poisons, tracking, and stealth a Daphnaie has no better role than an Archer when in combat.

"Wow that was a lot to digest let me go over that again for a minute."..... "Hold up! if your a Ruderalis why do you have so many fingers on your fan leaves?" The (now that I know it's a baby) moves it's branches up and the leaves face me almost as if it just shrugged.

"You're actually quite intelligent for something only five weeks old, maybe because they only take that long to be physically m.a.t.u.r.e?" Intalru said and the plant began shaking violently.... wait.. if she's already five weeks she'll be m.a.t.u.r.e within a month? "So your still getting ready to come out into the world.. great that means I'm gonna be raising a kid until I figure out how to get out of this place.. hey just out of curiosity, can you use leaves to tell me how many weeks you need to pull up roots and go?"

The plant didn't move.. "So that's a no huh? can't expect you to count already can I?" Suddenly the plant shook violently then closed all of it's leaves before re-opening all of them again..

"Oh.. sorry" Intalru knew that the plant didn't have anywhere near enough time to let the spirit form her true body as a Daphnaie and he probably almost killed her when he tried to speed up the growth even more...

"let me make it up to you then for almost killing you, I know something that may actually help a lot and it will only hurt for a second or two I promise!!"

Intalru may have sounded like he was being a hero but in fact . he was only thinking of an unlimited supply of magical cannabis.

Intalru used an old trick that most Gardeners use when they want to save a plant or grow another.. At first he began inspecting the plant feeling around all the branches to find a few of the newer softer growths with fewer leaves, during this time the plant seemed to be ticklish and would occasionally shake but try to stay still..

"Sorry almost done I swear.." Why do I feel so dirty right now... D*.. ugh Dang it!! Hey Asgorath I hope you know I'm not enjoying this I feel like a pedo.. please help her?

Ding! titles acquired hehe... Prince charming, Lucky Victim. Why were you laughing it's not funny!!! After Intalru mentally screamed at the system messages that Asgorath sent, he willed a nearby oak tree grow one extremely sharp Thorn as thin as possible to ensure the cleanest cut..

Once Intalru turned around the little Daphnaie began shaking more violently than ever before. It almost looked like she was trying to pull herself out of the ground the way the main stalk was swaying!

"Oh please! Look it's gonna hurt ok! but I swear it will make you live a whole lot longer!" After being shouted at the plant resigned itself to it fate being unable to resist..

"Look I really don't want to do this I swear.. believe it or not its going to hurt me a whole lot more than it hurts you." Intalru felt extremely guilty as if he was hurting a child but it was for her to grow healthy.. I bet this is how doctors and dentists feel when kids are afraid of them.

The plant stopped shaking and turned all the leaves and branches except one away from him, like a kid not looking at the shot they have to take.. but In actuality the line Intalru spoke just now struck the Daphnaie with the thought that he it really hurts him emotionally to bring harm to a fair maiden like herself..

After Intalru had taken the first cutting the plant actually relaxed instantly "Does it hurt?" Intalru asked and the plant happily shook it's leaves side to side. Must be like a hair cut then...

Actually it hurt like Hell! the plant only relaxed because the Daphnaie passed out for a second and only shook the leaves because Intalru sounded concerned and she thought it was done..

After taking a second cutting Intalru realized the he was going to use magic to get them rooted so he didn't need to take any more.. intalru spread his will into them and only forced the cuttings to grow a healthy root system before planting them right next to the original. "Ok these are clones of your plant body, So you should be able to use them to house your soul while it's forming right? and I will come back and check every week to see how your doing if you need more time I will clone you again.

After hearing Intalru's plan the Daphnaie tried to take over a clone still a little upset about the second snip but was pleasantly surprised to find that not only could she pull her soul into the new cuttings but each of them also counted as a vessel to hold and pull more Mana in! this would vastly speed up her gestation period!

After watching the small plants each begin shaking in turn Intalru just thought the plant was so happy it was dancing.. Completely un aware of the sudden boon he granted on the young Daphnaie Intalru Looked towards the main stalk.

"Umm since it worked would you mind if I take another cutting to keep so I can grow the flowers wherever I want?" Intalru said this meaning he wanted to get some herb from the plant just in case she grows up and runs off before he comes back in a week or two to get some bud..

What the Daphnaie heard was... "I know you must hide from me as is your nature but you're so beautiful I want to surround myself with your flowers" feeling so touched by the 'Longing' in Intalru's eyes when he asked so she lifted a single branch away from the rest.

Completely unaware of each others intentions and thoughts Intalru quickly took his cutting and left the Daphnaie to dwell on the strange thoughts that kept flashing through her mind.

Finally after four days of walking Intalru made it to the p*nis tree that was next to 'His' Garden behind him was a path of Purple stalks that smelled like sweet perfume...

After Intalru had spent the first day walking in the same direction he thought he finally made it back to the lemony skunk field but he had actually made a wide circle back to the Daphnaie's field.

Feeling like it would be rude to just leave with out talking he spent a little bit of time asking her random things like how her day was and if the clones were still good.. mostly small talk before he would leave feeling awkward for talking to a plant that was a girl..

The Daphnaie took Intalru getting 'Lost' as an excuse and just thought he wanted to spend more time with her. After he left she began to wonder why she feels like maybe not 'all' men are bad..

Day two Intalru almost made the same mistake twice but recognized that the tree near Daphnaie's field curves to the left while his was straight.. trying to avoid the awkward situation he had yesterday he promptly ducked and rolled out of site.

The Daphnaie saw him anyways and began thinking he was rather cute before shaking her leaves and concentrating on her breathing to help her grow faster and run away from these strange emotions..

Day three Intalru used his brain and caused his clone of the Daphnaie's plant to grow to it's maximum height a full 4 foot.. "I hope she grows taller than her plant.." Intalru said to himself before willing the plant to shed a few of it's leaves. As the leaves spread across the ground each of their stems slowly grew a set of roots, after the roots reached the soil the stems began to grow until they became exact replicas of the plant to shed it's leaves.

"Hansel and Gretel used bread crumbs.. but I'm sure I can find may way if I can mark were I've been.. Walking through the forest causing a purple carpet of cannabis to spread wherever he passed Intalru enjoyed the smell of the fragrant bud while he made his way home.

After Intalru made it back to the part of the forest he was familiar with he decided that he should probably stop covering the forest floor with purple so he caused on more plant to grow and took a cutting before making a thimble sized container grow from an ash tree near by and putting some dirt inside with the cutting and made it into a small necklace..

After noticing that Intalru hadn't checked on her in the past two days the still plant bound Daphnaie began to feel lonely.. Strange though she never felt lonely before, after a few more days the Daphnaie decided to switch her soul over to one of the new body's and felt something was very strange.

She felt as if she had far far more choices than she should have with there being only three clones. Upon a whim she decided to 'Quickly' Check on the nice lizard who helped her.

Only to discover that the clone he took was barely a hundred yards past where he hid from her when she last saw him. While she did not see him she could not help but to notice the sea of purple before her.. Did he do this so he could find his way back to me? she thought before realizing that with this many bodies pulling in Mana for her she should be able to form her soul before the sun sets!!

Before the Daphnaie formed her body though she wanted to see the one she owed such a favor falsely believing that he did this on purpose so she could leave as soon as possible in case someone else came along with worse intentions.. he gave up the chance to see me again so that I could be safe.

As the Daphnaie sped across the path Intalru made through the forest the Draconian in question had made it back to the cave that he was born in. "Hello brood keeper." Intalru greeted Yail Voct normally much to her confusion. "No more insults?" She asked wandering just what the mighty green dragon did to him..

"Nah I'm good besides the old man said you have something pretty important to teach me involving our races power." Intalru stated calmly while only thinking of getting out of this cave and seeing the world with Sha Na and Lilan Ka, he didn't want to get too far behind in levels and become a burden.
