Jason and the Whispering Woods

Previously

…He looked back at the Elder Willow, her ancient eyes, if trees could be said to have eyes, seemed to hold a deep gratitude. He knew this was just the beginning. The Whispering Woods, once a place of cautionary tales, was now a realm of adventure, a place where he, Jason, a boy from the village, was being asked to become a hero. He turned, his gaze fixed towards the deeper, more shadowed parts of the forest, the path ahead shrouded in mystery, but his heart filled with a quiet courage. The Whispering Woods had called to him, and he had answered. Now, he had a quest to fulfill. The grove held its breath, waiting. The journey had begun.
