Strings of Harmonic Time

Toby is curious about the new student in his art class, but he is too afraid to speak to them. As time passes, his focus is stolen by the pressure of his school work and his home life. He forgets all about the new student, until they graduate. He finds himself looking at their empty chair in art class, then tries to just forget about it. During his long treacherous walk home he is distracted by a small beautiful orange and white fox that scampers through the surrounding woods. He stumbles and falls off of the safe path. He hits his head when he falls and is left disoriented and with a throbbing headache. Everything sounds muffled, his vision blurs and then everything fades to a silent blackness. He opens his eyes to the fox from before standing on his chest, it's deep emerald eyes staring into his melted chocolate caramel ones. He realizes he is still a bit off the path and in the same heavily wooded area. Upon realizing he was awake, the fox chirped a throaty noise and hopped onto the leafy forest floor. Toby slowly sat up, being cautious because of his fall and he didn't want to startle the magnificent fox in front of him. The fox emited another throaty chirping noise which sounded similar to a dog's bark. Then the fox playfully hopped around, seeming to be waiting for Toby to do something. Toby bit his bottom lip then stood up, his head throbbed with every movement. A bashful pink color tinted his cheeks and across his perky nose as the blood rushed from his body's movement. A wave of dizziness passed over him, once it was over he hesitantly took a small step towards the fox. The fox chirped excitedly and trotted ahead on a route only it knew, Toby followed curiously, despite his brain's multiple warnings against it. The fox led him deeper into the woods, towards the biggest tree in all of the acres of forest. As they arrived Toby's eyes drank in all the beautiful arching branches, the thick base of the breath-taking tree, and the giant wooden door in the center.
