The bridge had always been covered by the rich trees that surrounded it. The trees were a treasure chest protecting what ever treasure lay inside. Though you see, it wasn't that the bridge that was the treasure but what laid beyond. This mysterious bridge had protected what lay beyond for many of centuries, through all the wars and all the conflict, and yet, it still managed to survive. That is, until the gatherers appeared.
The gatherers came in small groups at first, only cutting a few trees for land. But over time their numbers multiplied. This meant the need for space grew and the cutting of trees increased. It was as if the treasure chest was slowly being hacked open and eventually, its treasure would be known to the world.
