be honest

walking away

I walk the forest of beams at night. I can't help but touch every large mushroom as I pass. I walk away from my home. But to be honest it's not home any longer. The mushrooms illuminate the otherwise dark environment. I'm wearing a brown cloak hiding me from sight. The ground is covered in soft moss allowing me to slip away without waking others.
I'm walking away from my old life. I'm not running or escaping. I've been Walking for about an hour in the forest. Although the forest of beams is a beautiful and magical place it's quite dangerous to get lost in. Everything looks the same in this forest. Moss blankets every inch of the ground and large beaming mushrooms are everywhere you turn. These mushrooms are special they amit different colored light from underneath there caps. Sometimes I would play on top of them when I was little. Ocaisonly I would fall off of them but my dad would catch me every time. It breaks my heart to leave my family. But I no I must go.
I reach into my bag and pull out my map it's not much help. Once you find yourself off the trail there is nothing a map can do for you. I sigh in the realization that I'm hopelessly lost. I keep trudging through the forest. I keep talking to myself saying "you'll find the path you just need to keep searching" as I become continually more worried.
Suddenly I trip over and fall into the dirt. I get up and look around all confused. In front of me is a mini cow. "Hey little guy" I said the cow started running around me and licking my face."you look lost why don't you come with me? I'll call you Quinlan. Quinlan stomped his hoof, grunted and turned around like he wanted me to follow. He ran into the forest I chased after. Before I knew it I was out of the forest. Quinlan was sitting in front of me wagging his tail."good boy Quinlan" I say while petting his head.
I look around me there's a goblin village in the distance. I set up my tent and go to lay down with Quinlan. I'm glad I'll have someone with me on my journeys. I look over at Quinlan he's already fast asleep it is very late after all. Before i dose of I think I'll have to be up by sunrise, because by then they'll already be looking for me.
