Whispers of the Willowing Woods

Afterword

As all things come to begin, all too must come to end. I never expected to complete this in the

 span of one month, let alone constantly find the will to write each day. However, this got

 postponed for quite a bit because of school, but that's besides the point. Ultimately, this only

 served as a form of....how do you say......"practice", for me. Wasn't really aiming for anything

 big, yet I somehow felt the need to nestle in small snippets of life (mine included), and hope to

 convey those experiences to you. I trust that you've read upon each of the creature's journeys? I

 do hope you were able to find resonance amongst all of them. Like the fervid Fwistail, may you

 press on your journey of finding people who you cherish so dear to your heart, no matter how

 hard it may be. Like the avid Hootibeak, may you quell the lingering fear of risks and take that

 first step beyond the horizon of life. Like the jovial Hydria, may you foster forth long-lived

 friendship with those who value your presence as you do theirs. Like the solemn Bogman, may

 you come to realize that not everyone is a bad person, and even if so, they have all the power to

 change themselves for the better: including yourself. Like the gleefully-glum Gloomshroom,

 may you find the will to bloom with happiness even amidst your gloomiest of days. Like the

 condoled Zetherwing, may you stand up for what you believe in, and not let anyone dictate unto

 you to do, say, or be otherwise. Finally, like all of them, may you muster the will to fight on for

 the greater good, and know that hope will always be laid before you. I dedicate this piece to

 myself, as a way of trying to kindle forth the joy of creation, and getting to see what I am truly

 capable of. Though of course, if you happen to be reading this, this may be for you as well. I very

 well know that I have a long way to go in terms of writing, and that is why I aim to keep pushing

 myself further, honing my skills, and hoping for dreams to come to life. I'd like to thank you for

 taking the time to immerse yourself into the wondrous world of the Willowing Woods. Even if

 you don't feel much about this, that's okay. Overall, I'm happy that I got to make something out

 of my time, and I am eager to see where my journey leads next, as am I for yours.
