The trailhead to the forest is a dirt trail, dusty as it has not rained in a while. The overhang of the trees is luscious and green with only patches of sunlight beaming through the dense canopy. There are many large trees, some with arrows still stuck in their trunks. The trail is treacherous as it leads through the densest part of the forest, through a stream and to a well-hidden castle. Once inside the forest, the shade and canopy has provided plenty of opportunities for foliage to grow making it harder to follow.

bird
wolves
I am a great grey wolf. I am the leader of my pack. I howl at the full moon.
Well hello there Hello wolves...I will be on my way...please don't try to eat me. No of course not.. just come closer so we can have a little chat. Mmmm...no I think I'll stay right here..I'd like to eat my worm in peace. See that human over there? He's a mighty magician as they call it, I am sure he wouldn't let anything happen to you... they love birds and hate my kind. How about I hope over to the magician and further away from you. Oh I am hurt. You're a small little bird, there are many of us. What possible use could we have with such a...small creature like you? To be sure I do not know but I was taught to stay away from animals that have teeth like yours.  I must point out that you are standing on the castle grounds and I am a bird that belongs to the Queen...I would be missed and they would blame you and then they would use arrows like the one over there to kill you. You mean this one? I like them they tickle us. Put that down...it doesn't belong to you...you'll hurt someone.  Now leave me alone to eat my worm. I think you've had enough of that worm! Wait...that is my worm...wolves you will pay for that!  I will tell my queen...you will see. For now I will stay close to the mage and pray for his protection.
