((I like the title))

Dalea smiled as she floated among the flowers. She rarely saw them anywhere else anymore. She lived in a grove where the heart of the fairy kingdom laid. The courts of the fairies were underground, which pertained to their nature. They were creatures of flight, but stayed underground in their mounds for protection. She was supposed to be out looking for the dryad of this grove, she thought he'd been the last one too. She got easily distracted when doing checkups on inhabitants of the forests in which she lived.

When she neared the place where the dryad was supposed to be, she started seeing a thinning of undergrowth in the forest floor. This concerned her as she flew farther. She saw and heard a strange cry, which made her fly with haste towards it. She saw the dryad now, but he was standing over the dead bodies of at least ten humans. Her eyes got big, but she acted quickly, sending a spell right at his 'heart' to render him helpless. She walked up to him as he faded from conciousness. "Why?" She asked and sighed, sadness in her voice.
