Plot

The sky was rumbling with thunder as lightning danced through the black clouds that were rolling into the village. It was 1863 and the village only had one year until the curse destroyed them. The apple tree that stood in the middle of the village reminded them every day of the horrid curse, and their count down to death. It had been almost century since the dryad queen had set the curse on the Village. 98 years to be exact. 

You see, the curse was, that when the last apple fell from the tree, the town would be in lit up in flames and burned down, as each of the villagers suffered the death that the queen thought they deserved. Yet, as terrible as that may sound, the curse goes on. Part of the curse is that no one can leave and no one can die, unless they've eaten a cursed apple. The people of the village are trapped ghosts to the outside world, imprisoned by the curse. They stop aging at 50 along with any children they might of had.

Chaos was brought to the village the first few years of the curse, until a small amount of order came back into play, though it kept slipping up. Everyone at one point tried to figure out how to end the curse, but turned up empty handed in the end. They all had lost hope of the towns survival with in the first decade. Some people attempted to rebel and some went on with their normal life, while others grew depressed and stopped functioning, locking themselves up in their house. The village started to split into sections while the order and the sanity started to slip away. However, order would find its way back and the village would grow back together and turn sane once more, but with in a few years the order would slip up again. This cycle kept going on for 85 years until something... unusual happened. A group of children were born, thought it wasn't until they were 6 or 7 that the people started to figure out what they were. Fear and hatred of these children crept into the minds of the villagers. 

These children were shunned by the villagers at a young and innocent age. In the villagers eyes, these children were the very symbol of their doom - of their curse. These children were part dryad, part human. Some how several dryads came into the village without anyone knowing and had a romantic relationship with a human, resulting in human/dryad off-springs  Most people assumed that this was another part of the curse and the Queen was just punishing them more. These children quickly became orphaned and no one would claim that they were theirs. 

As the children grew older, they learned that the best way to be happy was avoiding people. But even then they alone and miserable. They didn't even interact with their own kind. They lived in the shadows, learning about the curse, wanting to stop it so they could prove to the towns people that they were good. That they were just like the villager only with different blood. The nymph off-springs have a very, attractively different feature (one); whether its their eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hair, body, etc. and that is how the humans tell them apart. So now, before the end of the year, the off-springs have to come together to fix the curse.

Background of the Curse

In 1765 there was a dryad queen with lots of power. She lived in the forests where she ruled all the other dryads or nymphs that strolled into her forest. They lived in peace with the humans for a while. If they didn't bother the humans, the humans wouldn't bother them. That's how everyone lived until one day a little girl strolled into the forest, completely unaware of the nymphs living there. She was a harmless little speck to the dryads, so the queen just ignored the little girls visits. The little girl loved to play with her daddy's stuff and would go into the forest with his tools and just sit there for hours under a apple tree singing and playing mindless games with herself. That was until one day, the thing she brought to play with was a match. She was so clueless, and since the dryads started to ignore her, they didn't notice the fire until the apple tree was blazing hot with flames. The whole forest started to burn, and burn fast. Up in flames, the dryads tried to escape the deathly heat they were trapped in, but it was no use. Even the small girl didn't make it out. When the village noticed the fire they tried to help but it was too late. Everything alive in the forest had died, except the queen, and a few of her guards. Anger filled the queens tiny body. The villagers tried to apologize and come up with solutions that would help the Queen but the Queen wouldn't listen. She vowed to avenge her people by cursing the village. They didn't take her seriously at first. They underestimated her powers. It was when the apple tree appeared that they first started to feel skeptical of their doubts. 

Panic started to rise as they found out they couldn't leave the bounds of their village. From the edge of the burnt forest to the top of the hill where the well stood, they knew that this would be their life until the last apple fell. Then they would die up in flames like the dryads. The queen had been kind enough to explain the curse, so the villagers knew what their death would be. "A century from now", the queen warned, "Will be your doom. The apple tree is your count down to death" She hissed at them as she disappeared.

Prior to her last words, she had even warned them not to eat the apples because it would be a painful death and you would make the town suffer even more, but the little girls father didn't listen. As soon as a month went by, he couldn't stand it any more, so one night he crept out of his house and ate and apple. His insides started to cook him alive as he suffered a painful death and made the curse worse for the villagers by making them immortal, and allowing father time to stop their aging at 50. It also sped up their death by a year. They now had 99 years to die. The villagers found his body in the morning. Mourning and hatred for the little girls father was spreading through the village. The sight of the body was enough for no one to even think of trying to steal an apple and take a bite of it. So from then on the villagers never ate the apples, never came close to it. They fenced the area off so no one could touch the apples and had guards posted by the fence.

Things that should be known about these kids and the RP;

The kids are the only ones who can leave the village. They are the only ones who can exit the curse, but they don't know that. However there is a catch. They can only stay away for 6 days and 6 hours, and if they don't return by those 6 days and 6 hours they will perish  The reason for leaving you may ask? Well the only way to stop the curse is to find the queen or a remedy, correct? However that's not all the kids can do. They can also hear the voice of nature. Though the village they live at, there are very limited sources of nature, since the fire was so destructive. Nothing grew in the miles and miles of forest that used to be there.
