The Monster Lands | POV Aoife

Hi I'm Aoife, pronounced EE-fa, And I'm 13 years old. Named after Aoife who was the second wife of the King of Lir and the sister of Eva, the King's first wife. I don't know why it's just what Junibee named me. Junibee is a witch who took care of me because apparently my parents died from a disease. I honestly always wish I could have seen what they looked like. Maybe it would explain why I have cat ears, a tail, horns, and red eyes. Oh I forgot to mention Junibee was a witch. She tried to help my parents but she did do it in time then after that she heard me crying so she took me home. I don't blame her for what happened, Junibee tried her best!! That's all that matters. Anyways I live in the Mystical creatures land, but the humans call it the monsters land. I have a lot of friends here like Boe the Centar, Mille the Siren, and Irann the Elf, Irann is also an archer.

One day I was climbing through the trees of the forest so I could maybe find Boe to hang out with but on the way there I saw a human. It was a boy, he looked around the same age as me and he seemed lost. So I hopped out of the tree and yelled "HI!" I think I scared him because he stumbled to the ground when I said that. He was shaking so I reassured him "I'm not going to hurt you silly, I just noticed how you seemed lost. Do you need help?" He eventually caught his breath and stated that he couldn't find where his father went off to. So I got up and said "wait here I'll find him then I'll report back to you." He just nodded and I went off through the trees. I eventually found another human who was a man who kind of looked like the boy. So I went back to the boy and grab his hand and said "come on follow me I know where he is.

We were mostly silent until I said "hey what's your name, mine is Aoife." He responded with "It's Kenric, Kenric Lancaster," I stated "Anglo-Saxon for fearless leader." He muttered "Yeah but I'm probably not a fearless leader." I stopped and turned around and said "well I think you're a fearless leader," he snickered and said I'm the one following you." Then I pointed out "you were searching out through the mystical creatures forest all by yourself in search for your father and you are walking with a mystical creature, I would call that fearless." Kenric sarcastically said "huh, I didn't realize." Then we eventually got to a point where I told him to go straight forward so he'll find his father. Then Kenric asked "why aren't you coming with me?" I responded, "I'm not allowed to speak to humans." He said confused, "but I'm a human." I explained to him that he didn't seem like a threat when I saw him but his father seemed scary with his fierce gaze. But Kenric insisted and said his father was only a mage and he enjoyed mystical creatures so I trusted him and we went on.

We finally got in a short distance from Kenric's father so Kenric ran up to him and said "dad I'm so glad I found you and I met this girl in the woods, her name is Aoife" His father look at me and just a little bit. I could tell he was they were talking about me after that but I couldn't hear them. Then the man told Kenric they had to go. Kenric asked why but his father just ignored and they were gone.

After Kenric and his father left I went to find Boe. When I found him I told him what happened but he didn't believe me, he said if that really happened you would be captured. I decided not to tell Junibee because she would be really mad if she found out I was talking to a human let alone two. I found myself really bored just sitting up in a tree. Then I heard a voice, They were calling my name. I went over to see who was calling me, it was only Junibee. She said to me "where have you been? You said you were going to hang out with Boe and I just saw him not with you." I said "Oh well I was looking for him but then I fell out of a tree. I didn't really get hurt but I did lie there for a while cause it kind of hurt." She looked at me with a look of concern and said "are you lying to me cause if you are I will know" I looked her dead in the eye and said no, I feel bad about lying but she would never let me go out by myself if I told her about the humans. I don't really think she trusted me but she didn't look into my mind. Oh yeah I don't think I've mentioned that she can look into the minds of people and see what they've seen, really cool until you lie to her.

After that I went inside our cottage into my room. It's very messy and Junibee tells me to clean my room all the time but what's the point of cleaning my room if it's just gonna get messy again. Plus who's gonna care if my room is clean, the trolls with all of there clutter, no offense to the trolls. With how tired I was at the end of the day I just climbed into my hammock full of pillows, blankets and my teddy bear named blueberry because he wears a blue coat. I sprawled out into the hammock into a comfortable position and drifted off to sleep.

When I opened my eyes I'm back in the forest. I was alone until I felt the presence of someone… it was Kenrick but something was off… he had black eyes. He looked over at me and started walking through the woods. I yelled his name but he didn't respond. I chased after him as fast as I could but the he vanished. I heard a crackle of leaves coming from behind me. I whipped around and saw Him lunging at me with a dagger. Then I woke up.
