  MOLDY LINEN SACK stage one: a smelly discovery
There are small particles floating in the air near death valley. They emit a strange glow and don't SEEM dangerous.
You capture one and store it for observation. which container will you be using?
You chose: moldy linen sack
The smell is almost unbearable, but it who knows what this seed houses? You don't want to waste a good container on something that could end up being as useless as a penny with a hole in it. LOL - I have been waiting years to use that song reference!! AT LAST!

MOLDY LINEN SACK STAGE TWO: new beginnings
It's been 4 days and some hours since you tread upon that massive field, came across those tiny magical airborne seeds and gave them a home. As the days pass the icky insect stuck to the bag seems more and more like a friend than an enemy. Familiarity has always meant "home" to you. If only he were to look at you once in a while.
Meanwhile the seed in the sack seems to be growing. The smell is super funky - a regular plant could never smell this bad. Maybe it's all the mold. Things that look like vines are protruding from small newly-formed holes in the sack. There's a beautiful flower budding on the sack!! This is something good, it may not be some dreadful alien monster after all!! You can't really tell what's going on inside with that darn insect guarding the sack's seal like an over protective mother. Maybe you should coax it to move aside...
"WE AREN'T SO DIFFERENT YOU AND I, MISTER ROACH!", you bellow out. You politely proceed by introducing yourself, taking a bow and saying good day. The despicable little roach replies by simply turning around and letting out an almost inaudible gruff! THE NERVE~!

 MOLDY LINEN SACK stage three: mister peeper's last dance
You peer at the sack one morning after realizing that the roach which made its home there mysteriously disappeared. How dare he leave at a time like this?! The state-wide talent show was only days away! What will you do with the miniature tea set you bought him for his birthday? You had given him a name and everything. His name was mister peepers and his hobbies included knitting, backgammon and telling ghost stories. crying
After shedding a few tears you come to your senses and admit to yourself that you were crying over an insect which lives in people's walls and feeds on their scraps. Suddenly you here a scratching noise. "mister peepers, is that you?!” you cry out desperately. There was no answer.
Upon further inspection of the now corroding linen sack you realize something is moving around in there. After calling out for mister peepers for several more minutes & gently prodding the sack you remember the glowing particle which also made its home inside the moldy linen bag. while holding your breath you grab a pair of scissors and quickly cut open the seal which once separated you from the beast you are about to unleash on the world! THIS IS THE END! FIRST MISTER PEEPERS AND NOW YOU! OH THE MADNESS OF IT ALL, WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN DEATH VALLEY, ANYWAY?!
You hear a lonely squeak, a giggle and a cry. Aww, it's a baby dryad - it's hungry! So that's where mister peepers went! Feeling a mix of relief, joy and good will you grab the dryad by its baby wings and place it on a wet sponge. Your heart is consumed by love for this tiny plant. No longer will you be alone. This calls for a moving speech!
"RIP mister peepers. Your actions will not be forgotten. WE WILL BUILD A MEMORIAL SO EVERYONE MAY KNOW WH - aww look the dryad burped. Who’s a dirty little booger? YOU are! YOU are!"
The moral of this story is: Out of grief arises happiness. We cannot have one without the other.<3
Side-note for pet owners: As a bonus, this is a pet which possesses a special 4th stage. This stage can only be reached through massive amounts of in-guild roleplay. Only the guild/rp manager will be able to decide if and when your pet reaches such stage.
Pet Care: Though small in size, dryads require constant care and a lot of attention. They must be fed insects and watered every couple of hours.
You won't be able to keep them on that sponge forever! "Indoor" or "domesticated" drys can be planted in a large flower pot
Until they reach adulthood. These pets tend to be more tranquil and tame than "outdoor" or "libre" dryads which are planted in the wilderness.
As a courtesy, the fae life council provides each baby dryad with a small bag of bugs upon reaching childhood.
Special Powers: Dryads cannot walk because they have no feet. The bottom portions of their bodies are made of wood. They travel
Through soil by magically sinking themselves in dirt and re-emerging anywhere they wish. It is because of powers like this that
Dryads tend to be playful and often times mischievous or irresponsible.
Advanced Classes: As adults, dryads posses special powers which allow them to release magic glowing spheres from their hands.
When RPed with other Cuentos pets, this magic helps speed up the other pet's growth!
