Lara's Whispering Woods

Previously

…“You are not forgotten, Keeper,” Lara said, her voice firm and full of warmth. “Never forgotten. You are the heart of the Whispering Woods, and now, you will beat for all to hear.” The Keeper responded with a deep, resonant hum that vibrated through the very soul of the woods, a sound of acceptance, of peace, and of a profound, ancient loneliness finally beginning to heal. The magic, no longer hoarded but shared, flowed outward, a river of light and life, carrying the promise of return, of joy, and of the enduring memory of a girl who dared to listen to the silence. The Whispering Woods, no longer silent, was beginning to sing again, and its song was one of gratitude.
