She sat quietly on a tree branch in the middle of a breeze, filing her nails with a thorn. She stretched her legs down to the ground and lowered her self down from the tree. She placed her hand on the tree and saw it had a disease. Being a protector of the forest she healed it. Her hand glowed gold and the tree grew fruit, peaches. " There we go feal better?" Then twigs cracked behind her. " If you are any threat to the forest you will be destroyed."

Apollo's form changed from that of a tiger to a mans in the shadows. His blue eyes shone as he strode forward, managing to step on a twig. The twigs snap cried out, causing a wince to show on his fine features. You could never tell what this place had in it, especially not lately. Apollo didn't want to have a poor welcome home.
A girls voice cried out through the trees and stepping from the shadows he turned his face upward. " I mean no harm to this forest." He laughed as the light that streamed through the forest showed his form. " After all, who would destroy their home?" His blue eyes peered into hers, bright as the sky after a rain. It was nice to see someone else in the forest.

" Welcome home then. I have been guarding the earth for as long as anyone can remember but that's a long story. I am Layla and hopefully soon the guardian of the earth. Here have a flower." She put her palm out and her hand glowed. A vine sprouted up and grew a pink lotus. It smelled sweetly. " And welcome home. You may help me protect the forest of you wish. When I become guardian
some day I will need someone to take my place. Do you have any injury's I could heal you." She examined the boy looking for cuts or anything.

Apollo laughed slightly and winked at the girl. "No cuts, and thanks.." He took the flower gently and then continued. "But as for being a guardian...You never can tell who they are going to pick...Who knows, you might not be the only one hoping to be a guardian." He smiled gently at her. Then running his fingers through his hair he continued, "As for guarding this land.. There really isn't to much to guard. Especially since all the guardians have...ceased filling their positions.. There hasn't been much living here anymore." His blue eyes wandered from tree to tree. "Much death has tainted this region. I would do anything to fill it up again with the bustle of activity and life that it once knew."

" Well you know there are hunters who hunt ANIMALS. And I protect them. I guard whats left of the forest. And I want to guard all life, someday." Her voice trailed off she remembered her mother, who she was named for. She would take her place one day. " It doesnt mater wether I'm Guardian or not. I will always protect the earth from evil and death." She breathed out her pink sleeping gas she does that when shes upset . " I don't want any one to get hurt or sent away like my mother." She stretched up and sat on her tree branch and started to cry. The flowers drooped around her. " I will be Guardian one day. I believe, and If you believe any thing is possible!"

Apollo looked up at the girl for a moment. Yet as she talked his mind drifted back to a certain girl who lived in firefly ruins. But he snapped back into the present when she started crying. "Don't cry...please" He was shocked by her determination. "Listen, just don't get your hopes up to high.. But strive for it with all your heart. Perhaps you will get it." He smiled and looking down at the ground continued, " But don't think that you will always get what you want...Or prepare to be disappointed." He didn't speak this in the way of judgment, but of experience. "This is a messed up world, that's for sure." He smiled up at her and reaching down a blossom formed from the ground to his hand. It's bright yellow petals and rosy pink center were bright and encouraging. Plucking it from the ground he lifted it up to her.

" Thanks" she wiped the tears from her eyes. " Its just after my mother... was killed everything changed. The flowers died and the world became dark. So many died. You probably know her, I have already said to much and thank you." She reached down to the flower. She took it from his hands and grasped it. It turned to gold dust, she spred it on the forest floor and flowers bloomed. " There must be life for there to be love. Don't you agree? I mean nature is beauty and it must be restored. As the way it was before, before the murder of her."

Apollo stared at the ground for a long moment. "Yes, there must be life to love, for what is life if there is no love." He sighed deeply and forgot about Layla being there. "You are a fool Apollo, a blasted fool. You had to run away from her didn't you..." His gaze went to the sky, "you must go back." He had been muttering this the whole time and a new resolution set on his handsome face. Suddenly his eyes cleared and he noticed he was looking at Layla. "I wish you could have met your mother, she seemed like quite a person." The nbowing to her he smiled, "Though I must leave.. I think."

" You probably know her. But that's beside the point. If you ever need an ally or just someone to talk to I'll be here." She winked and turned into a dove and flew head first into the ground. As the bird hit the ground gold dust flew from the spot and flowers grew all around. In the center the symbol of Layla, a pink lotus towered over the rest of the flowers. Layla was heading somewhere. Sanctuary.

Apollo frowned slightly as he wracked his mind. Who would he have known that this girl could have been a daughter of.. It couldn't be the past guardian, for she didn't have any daughter, well she didn't have any children for that matter. He frowned slightly and ran his fingers through his jet black hair. HE better not worry about it, after all he didn't know everyone who was on this earth, that just simply wasn't possible. Turning he let his feet carry him wherever they wanted. His thoughts were filled with a girl with chesnut brown hair and bright blue eyes. He would return to her, he must. He couldn't stand to be away from her, even if it hadn't been that long.
