Laurel

(Maidens of Spring) 🌱Whispers of ancient magic cling to the air in a secluded grove, a place where sunlight dapples through leaves and the earth breathes with a hidden energy. It is here, as the land awakens from its winter slumber and the first blossoms unfurl, that legends say magical nymphs may emerge, drawn forth by the vibrant pulse of spring. From the whispering leaves of the laurel t ree emerged Laurel, a nymph as vibrant and verdant as the branches she called home. More than just a guardian of the woods, she embodied the very spirit of the laurel: its resilience, its quiet strength, and its enduring connection to the sun and earth. Born from the heartwood and nurtured by the rustling breeze, Laurel was a creature of myth, a living embodiment of the ancient forest's secrets, her fate intertwined with the rustling leaves and dappled sunlight that painted her world.
