"Honey do you have everything ready".
"Yes mom"
"Are you sure you are ready".
"Yes mom".
" Now you do not have to lie to me if you are afraid you can quit if you want " My mom said with a teary face.
" Mom I am certain do not worry about it. I am strong enough to survive the forest trust me" I said while I try to cheer her up.
" I know but I am just so afraid for your safety. I know that you have grown up and want to explore the world but that doesn't mean I have to like it" Mom said with a sad expression.
" Honey do not worry I tested the boy he is strong enough. I expect him to be back with a head of a mean wolf" dad said.
" Thanks old man and I promise you I will return with the head of that wolf" I said with a serious expression.
" I see that you do"
" Alright mom and dad this is it my journey begins".
My mom hugged me hard and she had a smile on her face while tears burst out of her. I gently swiped her tears away and nodded at her.
My dad patted my shoulder and said"Go on before I have different thoughts".
I nodded to my dad and opened the door.
My mother and father looked at my back with a sad smile as they heard the door close down. I walked a few meters further down the road to the forest. I turned back to look at the cottage for one last time. I started thinking about my peaceful life with my father and mother about how we trained ,how we cooked and when we laughed together. I also started to think about my brothers and their goofy faces. My brothers always tried to cheer me up when I was sad. A single tear burst out of me when I kept thinking about my peaceful life.
I finally turned back to the forest with determination and saw the image of an evil looking black wolf with a scar on his forehead.
I started to walk down the forest with an angry expression but I was still thinking rational. The small animals in the forest went away from when they saw my angry expression on my face.
I walked deeper and deeper in the forest till you couldn't see me from the small cottage.
" I never went so deep in the forest" I said while I was looking around the forest. The trees in the inner forest are a lot bigger than the outer part of the forest. The looked heavier and bulkier. The wood was pitch black and the leaves were dark green they almost looked like they were black. The trees were about 500 meters tall.
I just could not stop admiring the Trees they just give me an awful feeling of darkness and isolation. I did not know that trees could be that unpleasant.
They were truly magnificent.
The forest did make me a little bit uncomfortable but who can blame me it is night time and I am surrounded by pitch black trees even if they are beautiful it is still creepy. It doesn't help that I keep hearing weird sounds in the distance from weird beasts. I swear that I heard some beasts mating a hour ago. I really need to set up a camp yep not going crazy at all.
Holy shit get your shit together you have only been one day in this forest Syre. I then made my decision I am going to look for a cave. Desperate times call for desperate measures, damn it one day ago I was sleeping in a comfy bed and now I am looking for a dark hard cave. My life went from zero to hundred real quick, but what can you do about it.
Luckily I was at a mountain zone or else I would be screwed. So I kept searching for a cave and I saw something moving from the trees above me. It was moving really fast and all I know that it is pitch black. The thing was blending with the dark tree.
"Yes the first life in this dark zone of the forest is a thing I can not see what a fantastic day" I thought with sarcasm.
When I look up at the creature I swear I saw blood colored eyes. Yep that is a big no no on the danger index, but you know what screw it because fuck this forest,fuck the dark trees and fuck that creature and I drew my sword. I released a massive blood strike and shredded that creature to bits.
" Heh this forest isn't that bad" I said with a shocked voice. The creature turned out to be a massive black snake.
