Challenge #04709-L325: Difficult History

Vholno, son of a traveling bard, always thought he was a normal human boy born to a wandering man. But when patches of green appeared on his skin, his father told him that he was born of a liaison with a dryad. Now Vholno ventures deep into the wilds in search of his mother and what fate awaits the son of the forest. -- Deathshead419

[AN: I see what you did there :) ]

Dad had taught the goat to dance for their traveling show. As soon as Vholno could dance, he joined. Of course, it was the gavotte. That was dad's sense of humour. Vholno could sing fit to charm wild birds to his hand, and Dad taught him every song he could.

It was good for their income, and helped them live to sing another day.

And as a Bard, Dad knew a lot about the facts of life. Vholno learned well what to expect but... as his body matured, it started turning green. That was not normal for a Human teenager. Nor were the bits of bark in weird places. Bards were rarely shy, so Vholno immediately consulted his Dad.
