Hidden deep in the forest, tiny young faeries wait patiently in glowing cocoons. They are allowing their bodies time to change from the cute, playful children they start out as, into the strong, magical warriors that protect the local flora and fauna. This faerie has just emerged from his cocoon, groggy and dazed from the long sleep he was in while his body grew and transformed. The Faerie Council had predicted when his cocoon would open, and has sent an adult faerie to come and help him as he gets used to his new body and magical powers. When he has found his balance in this new stage of his life, he will join the Faerie Council and spend the next two hundred years or so as a powerful Nature Guardian! Rendered in Daz Studio Iray.
