Red Fairy Shima

[Kailumi]

Legends tell of a red fairy shima..

in the moonlight, her wings aglow like rubies. She was simply known as the Shima, the guardian of an ancient forest. Her presence was both feared and revered by the villagers who lived at the forest’s edge.

Her magic was bound to the towering Crimson Oak, a tree that stood at the heart of the forest. Its bark was etched with symbols, each representing a different aspect of nature—the wind, the rivers, the animals. The villagers whispered that the Shima had been born from the very roots of the Crimson Oak, her essence entwined with its ancient magic.

But there was a curse that plagued the Shima. She could never leave the forest, for her wings would wither and her light would fade beyond its borders. She longed to explore the world beyond the trees, to feel the sun on her face and the grass beneath her feet. Yet duty held her captive, and so she danced among the leaves, her laughter echoing through the mushroom-covered glades.
