I woke up lying on the ground feeling all the pain in my scars. I wasn’t sure how long I’d been out, but when I awoke, the sun was shining brightly. Raindrops began to fall from a murky sky, prickling my cheeks, which had been cracked by tears that had now dried out. A thin, clear mist floated weightlessly above the ground, caressing the tree trunks with its gentle caress. It was strangely hypnotic! The shivering cold that crept down my spine, however, made me shiver.

Help. Please help. I don’t know what to do. I am really not in a nightmare.

β€œπΆπ‘Žπ‘™π‘š π‘¦π‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘ π‘’π‘™π‘“, πΆβ„Žπ‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘™π‘œπ‘‘π‘‘π‘’.” I whispered to my self.

I gently stood up and gazed at the vibrant yellow, crimson, and orange autumn leaves, some of which were still clinging to the last hope of another summer day. However, the most of them had already given up and were either dancing slowly in the breeze or resting on the ground.

Autumn ushers in sweater weather, stunning foliage displays, and harvest festivities. In these woods, the equinox heralds the start of a awesome season as I knew in my mind was called Autumn. Others, on the alternative hand, see this season as a miserable reminder of the cease of summer, with fewer cookouts and seaside reading.

Ohh.

β€œπ·π‘’π‘Žπ‘Ÿ π΄π‘’π‘‘π‘’π‘šπ‘›..” I whispered.

Autumn had made me unhappy, but I couldn’t put my finger on why. Until now, that is. Despite the gorgeous colors and mysterious scenery, a sense of impending dread lingered in the back of my mind. I wasn’t intended to be here in the first place.

Looking around, I noticed a rather steep and rocky hill just behind me. It stood as big as an eight-story skyscraper and appeared to be a massive, sleeping monster, and it was a little terrifying, if a small mountain could make you feel that way. Perhaps that’s where I’d tripped? What if I’d tripped and fallen?

That’s probably why I got my head hurt. Maybe my solutions to how I got here had been hidden at the top?

Probably. I only needed to climb up, and I’d be right back where I started. I began climbing the first enormous rocks, full of newfound determination. But I soon felt dizzy enough that I had to sit down to avoid collapsing, and I tried my best to squeeze my palms over my forehead to relieve some of the splitting headache. It failed to assist much.

Regardless, I persisted going, climbing some feet, then sitting down. Then I climbed some more feet and I progressively ascended better and better, until I were given to the spot simply under a cliff with an overhanging ledge on the pinnacle then I could not move any further. β€œHaaa!!!” I yelled in echoe thinking it might help, however it didn’t. Instead, it prompted me to lose my balance and fall. And if it were not for a small bush that so I clinged to something that had with ease grown on the shelf. I would have collapsed if I had finished so. It was in all likelihood the second time.

I got back on my feet, shivering, and tried to find a route around the edge. I couldn’t discover any at first. But, after realizing how extremely far up I was, and also that attempting to climb back down would almost certainly result in a fall, I opted to try a narrow, and a little slick due to the rain, trail to the right. So I started slowly, crawling and climbing at times, while my head hurt.

In pure terror, I slipped a few times and dug my nails into the earth, but not long after, I grabbed a hold on the edge of a stone and lifted myself up, feeling more weary to the point of near collapse. But the sense of accomplishment I got when I finally made it to the summit was like winning the jackpot! But then I turned back and saw nothing but an even denser forest.

I was certain I’d come to a path. Just something that might help me figure out how I got here.

Where am I in the world?

I looked for traces of where I’d come from, but I couldn’t discover any. So I decided to just walk along the edge of the slope, at a safe distance to avoid falling. I was getting a gnawing feeling of hunger as well, and I pondered when I had last eaten. I wasn’t sure. And I had no idea how to locate meals in a place like this.

I went for another walk into the woods, looking for a water source. My throat became dry as a result of not drinking and eating. I looked for the most of the animals, but she couldn’t find much and instead stared around at the birds leaping from tree branches. Two birds, which I could tell were mates, appeared to be conversing. My rage and frustration gradually dissipated as I laughed at the charming scene of the bird. In the little nest, there were two eggs. I got closer to the tree, which was considerably smaller than the acorn tree. My face was on the same level as the nest and the two creatures. It has possessing feathered body, forelimbs transformed into wings, scaly legs, and a beak. I’m sure it’s called birds since that’s what my mind dictates.

To the bird, I extended my index finger. Instead of pecking at me, the bird massaged his head and closed his eyes on my finger, which surprised me.

β€œπ΄π‘€π‘€,” I said. The bird hopped into my palm after I extended my entire hand. I giggled and took the male bird in my arms. I decided to spend some time listening to the birds.

β€œπΌ π‘šπ‘Žπ‘¦ π‘ π‘‘π‘Žπ‘¦ β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘“π‘œπ‘Ÿ π‘Ž π‘›π‘–π‘”β„Žπ‘‘.” I stated while feeling my empty stomach making a noise.

I’m awoke on the ground, in the vicinity of the bird’s tree. My waved curl hair messed-up hair was down. β€œπΊπ‘œπ‘œπ‘‘ π‘šπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘›π‘–π‘›π‘”, π‘π‘–π‘Ÿπ‘‘π‘–π‘’π‘ .” I said as I rose up and smiled at the birds. I crossed the dirt path to reach the tree. I picked up a worm in the dirt near the tree’s roots and returned to the birds. The worm was given to the female bird, and the birds shared the small, but important, treat. Then I witnessed something remarkable. One of the eggs has a tiny beak protruding from it. A tenth beak protruded from the other one.

I gasped when the two adult birds peered at the two eggs. The female bird hopped over to the eggs and gave them a close inspection. I was perplexed when the male bird flew away. I stood there watching as the male flew to the ground and stabbed a worm. He drew it back to the rest of the birds.

The female bird appeared to β€œsmile” at her husband and children. The male looked across at me as she hugged with her children. I could tell the bird was virtually thanking me. I researched birds, and one of the things she investigated was the bird’s facial expression.

β€œπ‘Œπ‘œπ‘’β€™π‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘Šπ‘’π‘™π‘π‘œπ‘šπ‘’.” I whispered and gently petted the bird with two fingers. β€œπΊπ‘œπ‘œπ‘‘π‘π‘¦π‘’,” I said as I smiled and petted the babies. The birds were grouped together, staring at me. I walked away with a smile on my face, perhaps even a small giggle.

I walked through the dark forest. It was about the crack of the sunset and I was alone in the woods. I looked around, fear in my eyes and tried to think positive. I heard a twig crack and I jumped a bit. β€œLeave me alone.” I said quietly. Then I heard a rustle in the bush. My eyes watered up, because I knew this might be the end.

There was a shadow I saw in the ground. It looked like there was a monster behind me. I fell to my knees and started sobbing.

β€œπ·π‘œπ‘›β€™π‘‘ β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘‘ π‘šπ‘’ π‘π‘™π‘’π‘Žπ‘ π‘’. 𝐼 π‘Žπ‘š 𝑗𝑒𝑠𝑑 π‘™π‘œπ‘ π‘‘, 𝐼 𝑗𝑒𝑠𝑑 π‘€π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘‘π‘œ π‘”π‘œ β„Žπ‘œπ‘šπ‘’!” I pleaded and covered my eyes with my dirty bloody

Hands from my wounds. From the fall, my knees started to bleed.

β€œπ»πΈπΏπ‘ƒ! 𝑆𝑂𝑀𝐸𝑂𝑁𝐸 𝐻𝐸𝐿𝑃!!” I yelled.

β€œπ»π‘’π‘™π‘™π‘œ π‘€π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘Ÿ, π‘€β„Žπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘¦π‘œπ‘’ π‘‘π‘œπ‘–π‘›π‘”?” I startled from the mousy, childlike voice.

I instantly turned around and noticed the diminutive form of a small child. The girl had blond, shoulder-length, tangled hair, with the most unusual eye color I’d ever seen, ranging from amber to pale yellow and even green. Her dress was blue, but it appeared to be an old item of clothing because the hue was more grey than blue where it was worn out. She has a companion, a lady. She is breathtakingly lovely and quite attractive. Her favorite colors are usually green and other forest tones. Her skin is similar to mine, but she’s tanned with green colors, has scout and vine-like sentinels’ camouflage patterns, and wears clothes patched up from their natural surroundings, such as leaves and twigs. She wears a silver crown with green diamond borders and three W-shaped points on her head. I was completely taken aback and surprised. When I blink, she vanishes from my field of vision. What happened to her? Where did she just go.

She shyly took a dry straw in her hands and spun it around her fingers, giving me a faint grin but not actually looking at me.

Oh! Hi. β€œπ‘Œπ‘œπ‘’ π‘ π‘π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘’π‘‘ π‘šπ‘’,” I added, disarmingly laughing. β€œπ‘Šβ„Žπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘¦π‘œπ‘’ π‘‘π‘œπ‘–π‘›π‘”?” she inquired once more. β€œπ‘‚β„Ž, π‘¦π‘’π‘Žβ„Ž..” I was simply terrified. Forget about what happened earlier. But… Have you been following me for a long time? I didn’t notice you.”

β€œWhere’s the lady right behind you a while ago?” She just smiled and start taking a stroll and didn’t utter a word.

β€œAre you here by yourself?” She silently nodded.

β€œWhere do you call home?” Where are your parents? I’m sorry if I’m being too loud.

But a tiny child like you shouldn’t be here by herself.”

β€œI’m not. You’ve arrived.”

β€œMe? I understand, but I don’t want to be here. Do you know how to get out of the woods? I have to get home…”

When it occurred to me that I didn’t know where I came from, I frowned.

β€œHow did we get here?” When I eventually inquired, I observed that the child was finally looking at me. She didn’t just glance; she looked till her eyes glazed over into an empty stare. She didn’t even bat an eyelid. A shiver ran down my spine, and my mouth felt dry.

β€œSomewhere. Lost. Trust, π‘‘π‘Žπ‘˜π‘’ π‘π‘Žπ‘Ÿπ‘’.” She said groggily, her voice sounding ancient and distant.

β€œI’ll do it, but can you…”

When I witnessed the contours of the tiny girl progressively fade into a transparent grey fog, until she vanished in a cloud of dust, my words got lost in my tongue, and I coughed.

Right in front of my eyes!

That did not happen by chance! I’ve just gotten goosebumps.

I wiped my chin, turned away, and then returned my gaze to where she had been standing. Nothing. There was no trace of her anywhere. I must have had a hefty blow to the head earlier. There was no other way to explain it.

I saw a pome fruit in which the ripened ovary and surrounding tissue are both juicy and delicious, as well as having a red hue.

β€œApple? Yes, that is an apple.”

I took a bite and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. β€œHmm, it’s a touch sour and bitter, but largely sweet, not at all salty, and overall extremely juicy.. Nice one apple..” I took a bite again and began walking in the same direction as when the girl appeared out of nowhere, and I tried to ignore the fact that I was clearly hallucinating. A tiny girl, all alone in the woods? And a lady in green? Or was just I mistaken of my sight? What are the chances of that?

Not at all likely. Furthermore, she vanished into thin air, indicating that it was all a figment of my imagination. Even if my mind tried to put everything on a horrible dream, I knew that wasn’t the case. I was truly lost, and all I could hope for was that I was heading in the right direction and not getting any more lost in the depths of the woods. What if I don’t make it?

To divert myself from this kind of thinking, I bit my tongue. Of path I’d make it!

My family had been possibly seeking out me right now, I hope so.

After that, I might… Wait. Didn’t I have friends? Or was it due to the fact there weren’t any that I couldn’t remember them? With each parents gone and no close friends who would miss me if I went missing, I could be a lonely youngster. Maybe I desired to vanish?

Gosh! What if I’d done something heinous and fled into the woods to hide? No way, no how! That is not correct, I can guarantee you! But the more I concept approximately it, the more confused and furious I became, to the point that I couldn’t even bear in mind my own mother and father. Or did I just woke up from that tree? Hmm that’s impossible.

A quick, harsh buzzing sound jolted me out of sleep, and my eyes scoured the area around me. I was still on my meandering walk up the hill, and there were fewer trees right here. But in between the stones, which varied in size and shape, grew plants and grass, which had begun to turn yellow due to the time of year. But I didn’t see anything, so I kept advancing slowly, looking for the source of the utterly terrifying sound.

Then, as I was going to lean on a rock to climb down a small hill, my body reflexively halted, as if stunned by an electric shock. It was a giant centipede, of course. And the sound was coming from its tail. A creature with one pair of legs per body segment that are elongated metameric centipede. It is dark blue-green-brown in color and orange-yellow in appearance. It has black bands running down its body, as well as yellow legs and antenna. β€œCreator, what on the world are you creating?! Ahhh”. And it was primed for an assault. Oh no.

I had no idea where I was going; all I knew was that I needed to get away from that dreadful gargoyle as soon as possible.The leaves howled in a symphony as the wind blew through the limbs of the trees. Running through the woods on a gravel path makes me realize how complex the interaction of weather and environment can be. Two natural forces that are both in tune and always at odds.But then my logic kicked in, and I started to doubt what I was doing.But all of the sudden, there was this different sensation of mine. It’s like I am a brave person or that’s just me in the past life. Hmm, nevermind. I’ll just keep going.I’m sure, there will almost certainly be more than one giant centipede if there is one. And if you keep running like this, you won’t even notice until you’re knee deep in a centipede&rsquo

    I stood up still. I was shocked at the same time amazed. How do creatures like this exist? I sensed that there is someone coming from the woods with the sounds of the dried leaves being stepped on."Charlotte! Get away from him!" A voice was echoed to my ear and as I looked back with beast. He raised his claws and was ready for an attack. He held out his claws to me and I was hitted too hard. I stumbled to the ground and I can see Legolas coming in my blurry vision. The beast ran away and I passed out.I awoke in the garden, surrounded by a familiar face with deep hazel eyes looking down on me. They were Legolas' eyes, which I had grown to admire but kept hidden from him. As I stared up at him with my gold fleeked green eyes, Legolas hovered over me with a worried expression on his face."How are you feeling? Are you ok?"I studied my body and there was a blue mark on my chest, it didn't cause any cut on my skin but still I'm

His befuddled gaze was drawn to me."It was insignificant.""So yelling at the top of your lungs and mumbling sentences are insignificant?" Charlotte, you can tell me." As I stared deeply into Legolas' eyes, I felt safe.And I sobbed uncontrollably at that point, unsure of how I felt. I couldn't make sense of what was happening in my dream. Why are Nick and Kover feasting on my body, but their transformations aren't the same? It hurts because I feel like they're betraying me in a nice way more over I considered them as a friend.

    The morning sun poured in through the windows as Charlotte awoke. And she managed to stand up, the room filled with comforting warmth from dazzling golden rays, where she discovered Legolas and the old woman seated at opposite ends of the small table, eating bread and eggs from wooden cups filled with fresh milk. The seat in front of them beckoned her to take a seat. As she took a seat on the opposite side of the table, she was greeted by a platter of eggs and toast that teased her as she sat hungrily. As she scooped up part of the meal with the wooden spoon resting next to the plate, the aroma of the food made her mouth water. "What is this? Only now can that I taste such delicious food like this .." "it's called an egg... and that, you already know that .." Legolas stated pointing to the bread. "It came from a chicken... Don't worry my child, it is good for us to eat. We humans eat eggs.." the old woman murmured.

    Charlotte had arrived at the road leading from the Gateway to the Riverbank, and she proceeded towards the Town, which was now less than a mile away, to see what was going on. She slowed down a little, looking for fresh adversaries. Men were hewing, murdering, and pushing their adversaries into the fire-pits ahead of the walls, among the artillery cannons. Well, all of Sharveinneil's northern portion had been conquered, and their encampment was ablaze, Lycans flying more toward the River like cattle before even the pursuers. But the besieged had not yet been destroyed, and the Gate had not yet been conquered.Numerous enemies stood in its way, while on the other half of the plain, additional armies remained unconquered. The core principle was south of the road, and the knights were grouped around their chieftain's flag there. And she glanced out, and in the dimming light, she saw the Town's banner, which was well ahead of the conflict and surrounded by few troops. Then she wa

    They initially believed that none of the monsters could enter, but Antigone reasoned that those creatures possessed a weapon capable of bringing down numerous strongholds since the dawn of time.

It was guided by a malign power and mentality. With many yells and the creaking of rope and winch, the great catapults proceeded to throw missile launchers splendidly strong, so that they completely passed above the battlement and fell rhythmic thumping during the first circle of the Town; and several of them spontaneously combust as they came overthrowing down, thanks to a somewhat secret art.Behind the wall, there was soon a huge danger of fire, and all who could be freed were focused on putting out the flames that erupted in several places.

A tree flowering like snow underneath a silver canopy and many-pointed stars were embroidered in white on the silver-green surcoats. This was the heirs' livery, and no one wore it today in Sharrveneil except the fortress guards in front of the waterfall, where the largest enormous tree formerly grew.

    A burst of yellow fire flared in the sky, and Legolas cowered back, fearful for a minute, speculating into what awful Underhill town Charlotte was carrying them. The little leprechaun scratched his eyes, and when he saw the moon rising above the eastern shadows, almost as full as the western rise of the sun, he rubbed his eyes even harder. “What? What’s happening?” Obligichaun said. Then, the night was still young, and the long voyage to the east would take hours. He stood up straight and talked.'Where are we going, Leggie?' he asked.'In the realm of Sharrveineil,' the wizard answered. 'The other hill is still passing by... we must check on the people. I hope Aradan and the wizards were taking responsibility at a charge.'“Is the moon colliding with the sun? It’s an unbelievable phenomenon.” he panicked.There was a silence again for a while.

This wickedness will grow with each victory. We will do nothing if the rules and fates have their way. We'll hide behind our walls, spend our lives away from the light, and let the darkness fall upon us. The only thing that is required for evil to triumph is for decent folks to do nothing...

    "What are we going to do, what are we going to do?" wailed the leprechaun. "Escaping trolls to be caught by Lycans!" he exclaimed, and the phrase became a proverb, albeit we now say out of the frying pan and into the fire in similar situations."Up the trees, hurry!" exclaimed Legolas, and they dashed to the glade's edge, searching for trees with low branches or slender enough to swarm up. You can guess that they located them as quickly as they could and that they went as high as they could trust the branches. Legolas was perched on a tall larch, looking like a colossal Christmas tree. Charlotte felt more at ease in a massive pine with regular branches protruding at regular intervals like spokes of a wheel, a gigantic pine standing at the glade's very edge. They were almost concealed by the tree's wreaths, but the leprechaun's eyes gleamed in the red moon as he peered out. However, he slid out of Charlotte's shoulder by accident."Legolas!" the princess shouted making

    "That's freaking annoying! Where else have you seen ugly pixies and even those headless monsters dancing together ..." Obligichaun said to himself. "But wait, where are they? I need to find Legolas."In Obligichaun's head, a hive of bees began to swarm.A restless and frost-covered clearing was bathed in red moonlight. A bone-chilling breeze spooked the small critters within the long grass, buzzing and chirping insects.
