Wandering deeper and deeper into the forest, Lucien's excitement grew as the trickle of water turned closer and closer.
Eventually, he found himself at the edge of a small clearing, hidden deep within this magical place. Amidst the treeline, he spotted it finally. At the center of the small field, seemingly amidst the vibrant, healthy emerald-colored blades of knee-high grass, he saw the source of the soothing sound.
Slicing the field into two, a thin stream of sapphire-tinted, crystal clear stream of water ventured towards the east ultimately making its way into a small hillside den. Although the sight was idyllic, transcending the standards of natural beauty, Lucien looked towards the shallow cave entrance with wariness.
