About 400 years ago, the earth inhaled and exhaled a creature born from the desire to keep the forest safe and sacred. It was also born from things lost and found and spirits that wandered with no direction. When this spirit came about, it spent much of its time guarding the trees and creatures within, although not alone since there were many other forest spirits, it was still fairly well known amongst the land and the ancient people. It would accept offerings laid out by these people for the forest and in return, look over their crops, children, and wish luck upon them during the hunting and winter seasons. However, the spirit knew death was part of life and, like the other spirits, could only do so much to protect. They are not able to interfere with such powerful natural forces such as life and death since they have never been alive nor dead. When the humans grew evermore in their intelligence, so did their greed, gluttony, war, suffering and inevitable the number of humans grew to massive amounts. The forest that the spirit once called home, was turned into a city home to thousands of humans. Many spirits could not handle this and quickly left the land. Only a few spirits including the skull headed one, reside in small parts of the city. The spirit has not had an offering in ages and reclaims old clothing and items from the dumpsters. Spirits can not steal, since they have no desire for materialistic things. They can only take things that have been offered to them. Items in the trash are effectively 'dead' and have no value, therefore they have kind of passed into type of material afterlife and the spirits are free to take what ever they desire from the trash. The skull headed one does enjoy fishing old hunting knives out of the lake that is in the nature conservancy in the city where it now resides. The last vestige of nature, in a spot in the city, is where the skull headed one rests and a few other spirits too steadfast to leave.

No one is allowed to see spirits unless the spirit wills it, there has not been anyone worthy of seeing the skull head for a very long time......also it is quite shy. Humans are loud and big, skull head is small and quiet. Not sure what to think and who to trust...

Now this nameless skull headed spirit has been an interest with 2 different people. A young girl aged 13 and a young man aged 20. One night while outside, the spirit came across a smell, something unique a scent that it hasn't smelled in a while. It smelled of purpose and meaning like it was meant for the spirit. The spirit followed its nose to a small house with a small back yard. It did not hesitate to dive face first into a delicious slice of cherry pie. However, the spirit did not notice the little girl staring at it as it ate. The spirit cleaned its self off and asked what the girl was doing. She was a young girl, tired of a strict Christian upbringing, decided to become a pagan and make her very first offering to the spirits of the land. The spirit thanked the girl and sat with her to look at the stars. The spirit felt the love that she had for nature and has promised to visit her from time to time....provided there is more offerings...Spirits can get picky. They exist for themselves as well and do not owe any human anything unless debited to them.

For the young man...when the skull head was sleeping in the nature conservancy, one of the young men who volunteers there was removing weeds when he spotted the spirit sleeping. Not sure what to think of it since he could not sense any immediate danger, he often visits the spot where he saw the spirit...spying on it sleeping sometimes. Skull head could not help the feeling.....the feeling of being watched. So sometimes, it would spy on the young man. Noticing the care and love he had for the land, the spirit made sure all the plants he planted grew well.

That is all that is known for now.
