Phoenix P.o.v

They followed the men into a lounge. Her plan was too tell a story through song about Briar that made her sound scary even if she wasn't all too bad.

"One gray day so thick with fog a poacher went to the northern woods too hunt. The poacher caught a white deer that turned into something strange wild like a vision from a dream" She sang.

"Ba da,ba da,ba da, vision from dream " Her friends echoed.

"She had vines tangled around her,her eyes as dark as a storm, a druid he had caught upon that gray and fateful mourn. Behind her lips her teeth were sharp,much sharper then his knives, she said to him pointing to the beasts of the wood. 'If you come closer sir,they'll eat you alive' "

" ba da,ba da, ' I'll eat you alive ' " Her friends echoed once more. Their plan was working the men looked uneasy . She grinned and continued.

"Beware the woodland maiden,to whom the forest belongs,for if you venture into her wood,you won't venture for long" They all sang in sink

"He trembled as she gazed at him ,her eyes cold and dark. She was a sight both terrible and lovely to behold. ' please don't have them feast upon my flesh' he begged her to forgive. ' If I return you too your wood, won't you let me live?' "

"Ba da,ba da, ba da, 'won't you let me live?' "

"She looked at him upon his knees and thought him a pitiful sight. ' I will let you go,but quickly take your flight.If you shall ever come here again,me and my friends here will drag you to your grave' "

"Ba da,ba da,ba da ,drag you to your grave!"

"Beware the woodland maiden to whom to forests belong for if you venture into her wood,you won't venture for long!"

"two weeks since,he tossed and turned,his eyes had driven him mad. And when he slept all he could see was the lady of the woods. Desperate for just one more glimpse, he took back to the wild and sure enough she came to him with promises to keep"

The men looked horrified now.They continued.

"Ba da,Ba da, Promises to keep!"

"She said, 'good sir I warned you once that you could never return. I should've known right there and then,your kind will never learn. When he saw the beasts come,he knew he was damned. Now his bones lay hundreds of feet below, buried in the dirt"

"Ba da,Ba da, buried in the dirt."

"Beware the woodland maiden,to whom the forests belong,for if you venture into her woods,you won't .venture. for. long" She finished. The men looked discouraged and looked like they were talking about canceling their plans. She sighed in relief. Her plan had worked and she had scared away any future trouble. She just hoped that Lycaon had enough time left.
