Lara's Whispering Woods

Previously

…They were hesitant at first, like shy fireflies, but they grew in intensity, weaving through the trees. A soft, melodious chirping began to fill the air, a sound that had been absent for far too long. Lara’s heart soared. The whispers of the woods were returning, tentative at first, but growing stronger with each passing moment. She knew, with a certainty that settled deep within her bones, that the silence was broken. A friendship had bloomed in the heart of the Whispering Woods, and with it, the magic was returning home. The journey back to the village would be filled with the sweet music of a forest waking from a long, lonely sleep.
