Summary: In a valley the dryads are hidden, watching the humans as they slowly destroy the Earth. The dryads live among the trees, nothing more than myths to the humans, and never do they interfere unless they absolutely have to.
Then comes a day when a human outside the valley discovers where the dryads live. The dryads know he is a threat, and know they must do all in their power to exterminate the human before he reveals their location. Theodora, one of the bravest of the dryads, volunteers to leave the valley and assasinate the human for the good of her people. The only problem is she has fallen in love with him...
