"This...forest!" Felsen whirled around and mumbled in his mind. He silently aroused his foot in the air and took a step.
"Why is this place so silent?" Felsen mumbled when heard the voice of his steps. And then the wind that ran through his hair and touched his face made a noise when it reached his ears. It was like it was trying to say to step more and enjoy his surroundings.
The fragrance that air had in it, was just addictive. "This is so...!" Felsen had no words about the environment there. "No, no, what am I doing? The master sure sent me here for a purpose and of course, that purpose will not be this easy." Felsen moved his eye to every corner of the woodland to evaluate what could be hazardous here. With a sword on his back, Felsen again took a step.
Felsen then tightened his finger on the sword that was on his back and rolled his sight in every direction. "Nothing is here that seems hazardous," Felsen slowly removed his finger from the sword on his back.
"Hmm let's find out that oldest tree," Felsen when felt everything was fine there, and he started walking freely. "This forest is so silent but why is it like this. Not even a voice of a bird creeping. What is wrong with it?"
Felsen was taking steps slowly and carefully but when he found no sign of any danger he started stepping freely to quickly find out the tree because the forest was so vast. He could see nothing except the greenery.
"Where is the oldest tree? Where is it?" Felsen mumbled in his mind while taking steps.
After, when he fastens his steps he heard a noise. A strange noise. "Yes, my steps are creating noise but that was something else," Felsen stopped to hear what that was but he found nothing.
While he was looking around with his spied eyes, he saw a few leaves in tens flying in the air. It was as if they were wandering around. "Of course that could be them, they are so beautiful while flying," Felsen took his hand in the air to touch them when they reached him. When his finger touched one of the leaves and disturbed their way, those yellowish and greenish leaves started playing with him and wandering around his hand.
A sweet smile appeared on his face and those leaves after playing for a minute and two, continued their way. The leaves before evacuating traveled to his head from his hand and made a circle like a crown around his head and then flew away. The time they passed by Felsen's head, the air that was constructed because of the movements of the leaves made Felsen's right eyes covered with his hair because they fell in his eye.
"They were so sweet," Felsen removed his hair from his eye and talked looking at the same leaving that traveled far away from him.
Felsen after, continued his way and again he felt a strange movement. "What is that...?" Felsen stopped again and saw the surroundings.
"One last thing before you enter the woodland If you sing loudly then the woodland will be nice to you," the master's words suddenly came into his mind.
"Is it because I am not singing?" Felsen talked in his mind and narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking deeply about it.
"Master, what do you say should we get in?" Brick asked the master because he was feeling worried for Felsen.
"No, I don't think like that?" said the master.
"But master!!!" Brick said and then seized his words in his mouth when he saw him not listening to him and just staring at the door silently compelling his hand behind.
Felsen again started taking steps and he again felt the same.
"Should I obey the master or not?!" Felsen again halted and observing his surround he talked in his mind. "Should I sing or not?" he added.
"What if the master told me the opposite of it? What if I make noise and then the calm full surroundings change into hazardous ones. But on my way to the mountain, the master told me to stay away from the beautiful thing sure he is right here also. I should sing loudly." Felsen then bit his lips and was thinking hard what should he sing? "ahh! what should I sing? Why am I not getting any songs? What will be good? Mm! should I sing "jingle bell" or just start making noise, mm! which song? I have heard many songs but why I am not getting anyone?" All these thoughts have seized Felsen's mind.
After guessing for a minute and two, Felsen had decided on a song to sing. "Ok, I will go with this?" said Felsen and cleared his throat to sing well and loud.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to dear you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you," Felsen starts singing loudly much more than the master's expectation and as his voice thundered around a stir constructed there and suddenly the trees there started moving their branches, and a big mess seemed there. "Huh! what is going on!?" Felsen got shocked and then he felt something seeing his foot that he set on a beach. He saw that the branch on which he had set his foot was starting to grab him.
Felsen's eyes get widened when he saw it and then he pulled his foot in the air from that shoot by giving a jerk to free his foot and it happened like he wanted it to happen. His foot gets free but it was just the beginning. After every shoot there started traveling toward Felsen and were aimed to grab Felsen and clutch him in the root. He took his sword out and somehow Felsen fought and they failed to catch it, but still, it was the beginning. Felsen turned around and the door was out of his sight because he had walked far away from it. "I can not return. I have to search that oldest tree," Felsen look all around and saw those branches traveling towards him. And to save himself he ran on the path that was clear than the others.
"So, you guide me wrong huh!" as Felsen was running the shoots were following the noise of his footsteps. "But now I will prove you wrong," Felsen was running towards his aim fighting with those shoots that were coming in his way with his sword and his magical powers. While he was running and fighting a shoot grabbed his neck and pulled Felsen to the ground and tried to tighten it. Felsen was trying hard to free himself and was losing his breath because that shoot was tightening itself. Felsen took his hand in the air grabbing his sword and then fell it on the shoot by which the shoot cutter into two pieces.
"Huh," Felsen sighed after getting free while rubbing his neck. During this, he fetched his first wound, and later when he again continued running a shoot but his face and he received his second wound on his face.
On his way while running Felsen was examining the trees to find out the oldest tree.
And after running for a long a tree finally caught his attention. That tree was the same as the other but the thing that was different in it was that it was not moving its shoots like others, it was calm.
Felsen started moving his steps towards it and he was almost reached there that all the branched attacked him at once as if they knew that why he came here.
Felsen attempted to free himself but the grip of the sprout made him to lose himself and his vision started to get blurry.
"Master, it is so late why he had not come out." Brick was afraid of the negative thoughts and bad moments lurking in his about when he went into the jungle for the first time.
"Master I think we should get in," Brick gets panic at the thought of losing his brother like friend. But the master was calm and without sayings, any word was starring at the door.
"Master! that forest is precarious," Brick came in front of the master and talked with teary wet eyes. But still, it did not affect the master a little.
"Brick...! Brick...! Master...! Brick...!" a loud voice reached out from inside of the door.
"Felsen...!" Brick worriedly uttered through his teeth because the voice made Brick more anxious. He turned to the door and without the master's permission, he started taking steps toward the door.
"Felsen...!" same as the voice coming from inside Brick also shouted his name while taking steps toward.
The voice was becoming louder second after second and the voice caused a freezing layer to run through Brick's body and he got frozen at his place.
