Marshtyt: A Biography

Book

Greetings, flower buds!

You may know me as the Master Gardener of Quill... but what does that mean?

And how did I come to hold such a big title?

My journey started when I was a wee nipper. I used to run around nipping wee.

Wahey! Not really.

My mother loved gardening, and one day, she left me with some seed packets and a trowel in the garden.

I ate the seeds and became very sick. A Fae creature appeared, dangled me upside down, and hit my back thrice.

I ejected the seeds on the third hit, and all was well.

The Fae promised to teach me better ways, and secretly, over time, I learned my skills.

I became voracious in my thirst for knowledge and discovered how to visit the Fae realms.

I studied their plants and managed to grow them for myself.

The Fae appeared once more and suggested I visit the Mirryr at the door to Opal.

There, I was judged by the Goddesses and blessed as a Master.

This leads me to where I am now, sitting in my greenhouse, writing about it.

I never saw the Fae again, but I still dream of those eyes and teeth.
