The greenery was rough and untouched and felt as if it was growing on me. The vines were wicked as if they were touched by magic. 'CRACK' what the hell was that... oh fuckin Prime it was just a branch... I walked along the mud and leafy forest grounds feeling so much I have never experienced before... It felt different here. It felt almost magical. fuck that was cringey Wilbur. MAGIC doesn't exist only gods do and that's the only way you could have life altering powers. expect the 'revive book' but that's from god so? 'BANG' ow fuck- i tilt my head upwards to see a STONE?! oh shit it's a stone statue- wait a second why is there a stone statue. I rub the sore spot on my head, beginning to force my body up to see the other side of it. I moved my body towards the front of the vine filled statue, I grazed my warm fingertips across the freezing finished stone.

I turned my head to see the statue's face... the pedestal they were placed on made their form look much larger than it was. I began to climb the side to see the features of the art piece, I felt my foot give in. "oh shit." I mumble under my breath- wait a second, am I okay? "uh hello someone there?" all i hear is the Cicadas wining and the birds chirping "so i guess it's you that saved me strange statue lady." I say jokingly, grazing my over the base of the stone work, why do I feel connected with things? whatever it is... it's special.

i felt a notch in the stone, what is that- i feel like i clicked something... shit. a circular stone panel rose from the ground as if magic was holding it up. I walked slowly towards the floating stone, my coat trailing in the wind. I walked on to the broken stone which had shrubbery speckled throughout it, and I found myself confronting the panel. The stone tablet read a story that engraved the words "so lost... so kind... connected with all wild life. She was a spirit to be reckoned with, the might of a thousand wolves and a thousand fungi alike. She was one of a kind for the rest of life, she'll always leave behind a part of her for someone else to find. before her conquest for a better life, she would lie that everything was fine. she still had hope in her eyes. Then snap! she was gone in the forest where she was drawn." under the long message was the name "shrub berry the seeker."

"So hello shrub berry. it's nice to meet you I'm Wilbur... Wilbur soot." he paused for a moment... 'Am I really talking to the statue?' I thought to myself... shit I really went off the deep end, huh? "anyway why the fuck are you an enchanted forest? my mom doesn't exactly create these a lot," I said as I explored around the statue to make sure I saw nothing else, and clearly I did not... "so we are alone and you are a statue so what am I supposed to do?" I went back to the plate with the poem engraved harshly on it... "so shrub you were lost and confused like me, weren't you..." I felt the engraving one last time... did I feel something new? shit what is that- "is that a mushroom?" i something clacked- oh fu-
