We were in front of the forest at night.
We: Me, Kai, Rosy and Snow.
Snow was a little scared, but she likes magic so she thought she'll like it but she was scared because its "not friendly".
Rosy was excited like I NEVER saw.
Kai was already ready, he packed EVERYTHING that was possible, but Snow has the backpack.
And I...
I held the piece. Looked at the forest. Then back at the piece. Then back at the forest.
On the map, the forest looked like a normal ordinary forest, but here, standing in front ot it...
Glowing trees.
GLOWING TREES!
No way, I like this already!
So I went ahead first.
But then—
"Hold on, hold on! Where do you think you're going?"
Then a fox — I mean, a girl with a foxy ears and tail — holding some glowing stick stepped out of the shadows.
And parts of her were glowing
LIKE
THE
FOREST.
She had messy short hair pulled into a bun.
She wore a shirt with a heart in the center, long sleeves, and a short skirt with a two lil hearts on the sides and one lil glowing heart sticker on her right cheek.
Oh my, I didn't even described myself like this! 😂
She pointed the glowing stick at me like it was a weapon.
"Do NOT step any closer to the forest!"
"Wait wait wait, who are you? I mean— WHAT are you?!"
"Toki. A furry. Guardian of The Mystical Forest — this forest. Now you. Who are you?"
"I am Sandy, this is Kai, Rosy and Snow." I said as I pointed at everyone.
"Aaand I'm afraid I and Chaos — I MEAN KAI — are stuck in these human bodies. Aaand our doctor Dr. Flores said we have to follow this piece of map — which leads us into this forest — to collect more pieces of maps and follow it, and that will lead us to the answers and a solution how to get back.."
While I talked, Toki's face softened a little.
"Waitwaitwaitwait. You want to tell me, you just suddenly woke up in THIS body?" Toki asked as she grabbed her stick with her tail, but this time with more... afraid voice.
I nodded. Toki gasped.
"No, no, no, no, not again! I've lived so many humans trying to go inside, and only a few of them were stuck as a human, BUT NOT TWO! Is this what you're trying to find answers for? How long ago did you wake up?!"
"Whoa, whoa, Toki, breathe!" Snow said as she placed her hand on breathless Toki's shoulder.
"I woke up.... I don't know, a day ago? What about you, Chaos — I MEAN Kai?"
I asked, turning at Kai.
"Well..... a..... week ago?"
"WHAT??!!!"
everyone except Kai said at the same time.
"Is it that bad??"
Kai said as he looked at everyone.
"No, no! Of course not! Let's just— let's just go into the forest, can we?"
Rosy said, turning to Toki.
Rosy was a bad liar in my opinion. I could see Kai and how he still thought it's bad.
Toki agreed. We can go inside!
Alright, our introduction was finally over.
Who knows what magic hides in this forest.
But all of us knew
That there is a dangerous magic, too.
And we all must beware and prepare.
(oh that rhythms—)
