Part One
On a foggy, yet warm spring morning, the sun rose over the Ether Forest. From the outside, the forest looked completely normal, but something was strange. Rumors were starting to circulate about what lay in the deepest parts of these woods....

Joshua was one of the people who heard of these rumors. He decided to see if this was true. He starts getting his equipment ready, for any potential dangers.

Unbeknownst to him, this forest was actually very calm; veey few monsters of the sort lurked around inside.

He begins his journey to the forest. Eventually, he arrives at one part of it.

The air was fresh, and smelled intoxicatingly of fruit. Joshua might get the feeling that he's being watched.

He gets the feeling of being watched. However, he foolishly shrugs it off, as he entered the forest.

As he entered, he might hear the rustling of leaves, as if something was darting between trees.

Hugh wandered the forest in hopes to find at least one thing supernatural. Hugh suddenly heard a noise and ran to it. Seconds later Hugh ran into Joshua. "Hey sorry 'bout that."
