The Forest of Dreams had indeed changed quite a bit compared to 10 years ago. Still, these changes wouldn't be that evident without careful observation.
The Forest of Dreams was a living forest with its own will. Or, perhaps the Forest of Dreams was more accurately described as a part of Amelia herself… She was constantly expanding her own domain. Maybe those within the forest wouldn't feel anything, but if there was a satellite providing a bird's-eye view, then one would discover that the Forest of Dreams was increasing its area every year at a rate of more than 30%. Over the past 10 years, the Forest of Dreams had secretly multiplied its area by more than 10 times.
Apart from the Forest of Dreams' natural expansion, the wood spirits were also working hard to expand their forest, or maybe it should be called their territory. This was one of the wood spirits' most important tasks over the past few years.
