Soul Thief

Irene was a small Goddess with skin as green as the plants she grew and hair red with the love she had for Oberon.

Her feet padded along the ground and flowers sprouted from between the stones.

She always had an animal companion or several by her side and adored the humans Edol created.

But above all, she adored Oberon.

She was sure no other God saw her slip into Oberon's Domain.

He was still at Earth, gave Irene ample time for her to fill his domain with flowers and birds.

They would wilt and fade after time, but that only meant Irene could do this all again the following days.

She touched the walls and vines grew there. She stepped and below her feet corn sprouted. She dipped her hands into Oberon's fountain and formed fish and frogs. She reached through the air and birds landed upon her shoulders.

And she stepped back, admired her work. Oberon would scold her every time for this, but they both knew he enjoyed her gifts very much.

And Irene was fascinated with Oberon's powers. She could only give life, and he could only take.

That is why he always took her gifts. It was inevitable he did.

Irene moved her fingers through her long flowing hair. Atop her head appeared white roses.

White roses were Oberon's favorite.
