A maiden’s pale form hangs where the tree’s heart should be, draped in torn white cloth and vine-wrapped limbs. Behind her, the trunk bulges into a single red eye and a crown of yellow flame. Branch-arms curl like talons around her outstretched hands, and sap drips in slow, black threads as the whole thing sways, inviting and hungry.
Maidenwoods are creatures birthed from tree stumps by old magics, often arising from curses that turn the forest against a transgressor. They scuttle on roots like legs, and the broken trunk becomes a fierce, grinding maw. The maidenwood’s tendrils blossom into lifelike figures it uses to lure its prey close.
Secret.
The curse that maintains a maidenwood unravels if one is offered an apple—an ancient trick used by witches turned against them.
