"Illusen and the Silent Glade" by restrictedsection
Illusen woke up early at dawn to the sunlight streaming in, but instantly she noticed something was off. Slowly getting up and feeling rather confused, Illusen realized she heard no rustling of leaves or birdsong that usually welcomed her to a brand new day. There seemed to be no sound at all coming from the Glade that was usually brimming with activity. Illusen padded outside and looked around where she could see that there was the usual hustle and bustle throughout the Glade. She could see Dragoyles flitting through the trees, Symols burrowing their holes, and Mortogs that appeared to be croaking, floating on lily pads. Despite all this, Illusen realized she could not hear a thing. There was an absence of sound and it startled her. She had never experienced such quiet before in the forest that was so full of life. Walking up to a pair of Whinnies playing a game of tag, Illusen knelt down and said hello. She had a gift when it came to communicating with others, but even though she could tell the Whinnies heard her and were excitedly greeting her back, she could still hear nothing. The Whinnies ran off and continued their game of tag leaving Illusen confused and a little overwhelmed. "Something is wrong," she thought. "The Glade can hear me, but I cannot hear a thing from it." Trying not to panic, Illusen walked over to a flower that appeared to be wilting and attempted to use her magic to help it bloom again. The flower remained unchanged. Illusen was shocked. Never had her magic rendered her incapable of communicating with the earth around her. She was a notable Earth Faerie after all. A feeling of anxiety filled her as she continued walking through the forest. She came upon a tree that had a branch that was broken and sighed. Calling on her magic from within, Illusen attempted to mend the branch. It remained the same, dangling from the tree.
