In the heart of the ancient forest, where sunlight barely kissed the earth and shadows danced with mischief, lay a patch of mushrooms like no other. Known as the Shimmering Grove, this small, sacred clearing was the envy of both the Light Fae and the Dark Fae, for its mushrooms possessed the rarest of magical properties, essential for their most potent potions.
The Light Fae, led by the graceful Queen Aeloria, cherished the grove for its ability to brew elixirs of healing and light. Their wings shimmered like stardust, and their laughter was like a melody carried on the wind. They believed the grove was a gift from the forest spirits, a beacon of hope and life.
The Dark Fae, commanded by the formidable King Varic, coveted the mushrooms for their own dark alchemies. They used them to craft potions of shadow and power, their wings dark as midnight and their eyes glinting with ancient wisdom and cunning. To them, the grove was a symbol of strength and mystery, a place where the forest's deepest secrets could be unlocked.
One fateful dawn, as the first rays of light pierced the thick canopy, Aeloria and her kin fluttered into the grove, their delicate fingers harvesting the luminous fungi. But they were not alone. Emerging from the shadows, Varic and his followers descended, their presence turning the air thick with tension.
​
"These mushrooms are ours by right," Aeloria declared, her voice clear and unwavering. "We have tended this grove for generations, ensuring its magic remains pure."
Varic's lips curled into a smirk.
"You speak of rights and purity, yet you forget the balance of our world. The shadows are as vital as the light. We too have need of this grove's gifts." The two factions stood poised for conflict, the air crackling with their opposing magics. But before the first spell could be cast, a figure stepped forward from the trees, cloaked in a robe of leaves and bark.
​
Out of the shadows stepped 12 Dark Fae. Ready for battle they fell in behind King Varic.
​
Not to be outdone, Aeloria unleashed a multitude of singing song bids which echoed throughout the forest. Soon 12 Light Fae descended from the bushes and tree's to stand by her side.
​
A fierce battle ensued....
