Flowers surrounded the three guardians of the faerie realm entrance. They embodied the magic of the earth, and like those flowers, they could be both gentle and powerful forces of life.
Each guardian had their own personality and way of approaching their duties. The first was called Moreae; she was a kind-hearted woman who always tried to see the best in people. The second, Lhunae, was a fierce warrior who would never back down from a fight. And lastly, there was the one with eyes cold as ice, and she cared for nothing but upholding the law. They called her Naruae.
Being a guardian is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, you have the respect and admiration of those who follow you. On the other hand, you also have the hate and opposition of those who don't. It's a never-ending balancing act, but it's something that you have to accept if you want to gain your power. You can't be afraid to show your true self, because that's what ultimately makes you a magical being you are. So embrace your power, and use it for good. It's the only way to truly be whole.
