Meela: Brilliant. Simply brilliant!

I'd make a new species called the Rihls. They are small about 7 in. high. Originally they have sea green skin that sometimes changes to a clear invisible hue to blend vaguely into its surroundings. Their hands and feet are long and slender. Also, the Rihls' eyes are large, almond shape and vary in beautiful colors such as deep red (Mountain Rihls), shimmering purple (Sky Rihls--mostly associated with the night sky), icy blue (Sea Rihls), and ivy green (Earth or Tree Rihls)--depending on which group they belong to.

They have magic powers such as making light in dark places, helping things grow, healing wounds or illnesses—that seem beyond aid, making people tell the truth, jumping very far distances (up to a hundred feet), running very fast (so that you cannot even see them), and the ability to transform into a special kind of flower that is identified solely with the Rihlian race. The flower has a thin, almost transparent stem with thin, shiny leaves that glitter. The petals are white and sparkly as well. The flowers are also how the Rihls are born. Their mother bears a seed and plants it in the ground, praying to the Queen Rihl--immortal, fairest, and wisest of Rihls--to give it life. Then the Queen Rihl will bless it and the seed will grow into a flower that will bloom on the first full moon becoming a Rihl. Throughout their life-span, the Rihl will be able to transform into this flower in order to hide from predators or humans (and elves or dwarves) with evil intentions for their power.

---They are very much like fairies except very wise---

Of course they love to cause mischief!!

PS I'd make the ring ... green ... my favorite color. Although I like Rynoah's idea of making it white-gold. V v v pretty. Yes but, I'd make it green with gold writing. Kind of tacky me thinks actually.
