Meliae and Nereids

In chapter 8 of 'Windows on Our World, Part 1:Hope', entitled 'Meliae and Nereids', we meet for the first time creatures of Greek myhology.

The Meliae are hamadryads, descendants of the great mother Rhea. They are ethereal beings that dwell in the trees of Ash Wood. The Nereids are sea-nymphs, the daughters of Doris. They live in the ocean and are companions of the dolphins, just as the Meliae are companions of the trees.

At the end of chapter 7, Helge has learnt that the company must go into enemy territory, in East Thorland, to find the next tooth. The Meliae and Nereids assist some members of the company to gain access to East Thorland. The company then have to contrive some ingenious disguises in order to get the tooth.

One of the Meliae, Pitys, also plays an important part in the plot as the donor of the healing sap, meli, which features prominently in later chapters.
