When Willow Wind Whispered Hope

Previously

…They looked at Willow, not with suspicion anymore, but with a dawning reverence. The small squirrel, who had been filled with doubt and fear, who had stumbled and almost lost everything, had, in her moment of deepest terror, awakened the forgotten magic. She had protected the acorn, not with strength, but with a pure, determined heart. The colors of the Whispering Woods were returning, and Willow, the curious squirrel, was no longer just Willow. She was the guardian. The protector. The one who had brought hope back to the fading world.
