Contest - Mythria, the spirit of enchantments

Description from original post (created 2014-05-04 14:01):

Do you ever wonder what guides your pickaxe while you mine? Sure, you spent a lifetime's worth of XP on those enchantments - but what is it about it that makes them shimmer and glow, mine faster, better, last longer?
Her name is Mythria. (Pronnounced MITH-ree)
She feeds off those green and yellow orbs, what you call "XP". They keep her alive. And in exchange, she will grant you efficiency, durability, or that silk touch that makes sure you mine every last pebble.
She dwells within the gravel, making it harder to mine with an ordinary pickae. She fights back, because when you kick her out, she has to find another patch of gravel. But it never angers her; after all, how would you know she was there?
The ghost-like spirit's tattered clothes and grayed skin give way to the only thing she can't hide - her age. For those lucky enough to know she exists, they can then see her - very faintly - as they mine away the gravel. Her glowing beauty mostly defies her age, apart from her well-worn clothes and pale skin. But what did you expect? In the millions of years she's been alive, she's never seen the sunlight.
In the beginning, she was trapped. Underneath the ground, no friends, nothing to do.
Until one day, a friendly man, now known as Steve, dug some gravel out while searching for tdiamonds, and set her spirit free... just as he did countless other Underground Creatures.
So next time you're mining, look at your shimmering pickaxe and think. Thank Mythria. And next time you find some gravel, don't feel guilty... just don't forget to whisper "Hello!" and set her free - to inhabit another pocket of gravel - soon to travel again.
