fake myths meme // the dryad & the mermaid

she of the forest, she of the sea; made to serve different worlds and live vastly different lives. but the ocean calls to her and even more sweetly does her lover. just as the waves crash to the shore and pulls back, so she must return to her forest every dusk. and the mermaid weeps for her dryad, her song is one of longing and sailors often mistake it as a lure. “you are made of the earth and i, of salt, my darling but never have there been two souls more entwined.”
