Corrupted Dryad

The chestnut tree started to wilt as the nature spirit changed. The tree's leaves fell to the ground, wilting as two angry eyes appeared. The nature spirit shrieked in anger as it floated off the branch and hovered in the air near the tree. 

"Tell me, spirit, how did you get corrupted?" Keng asked. The nature spirit lashed her arm out at Keng as the ground began to shake. Keng jumped right as the ground erupted with roots wrapping around him. 

"Ah, shit!" The roots pulled him back to the ground as thorny vines wrapped around his chest and neck. Blood began to spill as the nature spirit giggled, maniacally. Sounds of harsh, dry sounds came out of the nature spirit's mouth as the thorns dug deeper into Keng's skin.

"I don't know what you're saying!" Keng groaned. The nature spirit pulled the thorny vines back, ripping skin and flesh off of Keng as her arm pulled back into its humanoid shape. Keng flexed and the roots around him splintered into pieces.
