The Pixies and Sprites of Prim-Terra Aren't Your Everyday Tinker Bells.
Famous for their cherubic faces and soprano voices, pixies and sprites are known as the Woodland Children, due to the creatures making their homes in hollowed trees with beds of moss. They also enjoy a warm bath in the mouth of a rose after a good summer rain, though the sprites will tell you enjoying such a frivolous act is complete and utter poppycock.
Do not let their child-like appearance deceive you, however, for you may just lose an eye if you do – oh, the sprites love to collect eyes: green eyes and blue eyes, brown eyes and lavender eyes, eyes of a blind man and eyes of a seer woman. They can be fierce and ferocious creatures, those pixies and sprites, ones who have a tendency to play tricks of the mind to lure their victims into their traps.
Pixies are especially proud of their little tricks. They do so hate to get their hands dirty in a fight. (Blood is stickier than lavender sap, a pixie always says. And nearly impossible to get out of their wings, mind you!)
CREATION
While the Woodland Children wield many of the same abilities, they were not created as equals, nor for the same purpose.
In a bid to gather information from an enemy’s camp during the War of the Gods, the Goddess Calypso created the sprites, tiny winged creatures – no taller than the size of one’s pinky – due to their ability to sneak around crowds without being noticed or detected by hounds.
RECIPE TO MAKE A SPRITE
Ingredient:
· Hiss of a Jaguar
· Venom of a Black Serpent
· Wings of a Golden Fly
· Blood of a Hydra
Direction:
1. Mix ingredients together until they turn black and bubble. It will smell like death. Don’t worry, that’s normal.
2. Carve the body of a small man and woman from coals and submerge these figures in the black liquid.
3. Add a few drops of Calypso’s blood and give them a goddess blessing.
And it was through these two sprites that all the other sprites were born. For over a moon cycle, Calypso's sprites would fly through the campsites of her enemies, gaining information and slitting the throats of primloc soldiers.
However, Gandos, King of the Gods, soon learned of the sprites' existence and retaliated by creating tiny creatures of his own.
RECIPE TO MAKE A PIXIE
Ingredients:
· Fang of a Dragon
· Scale of a Meremaiden
· Baby tooth of a Primloc
· Petals of a Wilted Ice Rose
Directions:
1. Grind ingredients together until they form a paste. The frozen rose petals should be able to mask the stench of a dragon fang. If it doesn’t, add more.
2. Carve the body of a small man and woman out of sun crystals and wrap these figure with the paste.
3. Place in the sun for the paste to harden.
4. Once paste has hardened, give them a kiss on the head to awaken.
And so, during the War of the Gods and the long years that followed the Great Separation, the pixies and sprites fought against each other for domination of the woods, wielding their fang and claws with a vicious passion.
For the Woodland Children were created by their masters to be enemies, as they shall be, until the end of time.
STRENGTHS
Pixies
A pixie can control the minds of any creature or primloc, aside from ogres and sprites, and are able to fly for long periods of time.
The record for the longest flight of a pixie is currently held by Gerald Greenpetal in 5033 AS after he flew a round trip from Maloria to Salt Isle.
Sprites
Like pixies, sprites too can control minds, though their abilities are limited to chaveonuses, known also as switchers. (Nasty creatures, those switchers are. Quite smelly too.) A sprite also has the ability to regrow their wings if they are destroyed.
WEAKNESSES
Pixies
Slugs are poisonous to a pixie, as are the roots of magnolia flowers. And they have the terrible habit of sneezing until they pass out whenever they hear a joke.
The joke - “What do you call a cruowolf with a leech infection? – A wolf” – once caused a pixie to laugh himself into a coma for a fortnight.
Sprites
Long exposures to sunlight will cause a sprite’s wings to turn to powers. Four hours sun exposure during a summer day and POOF goes the wings.
A sprit’s wings take an average of 6-8 moon cycles to fully grow back.

It’s called silva dust,” her mom tells her, voice shaking with barely concealed laughter. “Only the pixies and sprites used it, but the woodland children are long gone from this realm.
