Rosin
Ernwood Forest is home to winged people no bigger than a person's hand. Hidden away from the eyes of all humans, they live within the woodlands in three secrete tribes. Things can be tough in a world so much bigger than you, but the tribes are strong and protect the tiny people against all dangers. Even humans. Three tribes. Only three. That is the truth everyone knows. Until Rosin discovers that what she grew up believing doesn't even scratch the surface of what's out there in the forest. --- Rosin Magnolia hates people. The safe refuge everyone around her calls 'home' feels like a prison to her- so when she learns that there are other tribes somewhere in the forest, the decision to leave is hardly a choice. She makes it her mission to search the woodlands and bring the lost tribes together. But to do that, she'll have to leave her own tribe behind... which means leaving the people she loves most in the world. The forest is rife with predators. Beasts like humans; towering beasts that prowl through the trees without care or concern for the life they might trample. Leaving might just turn out to be a suicide mission. But Rosin soon begins to wonder who is in more danger- the tribes she is looking for, or the one she left behind... --- ⚠️ Mild fear/ violence warning (things get just a lil intense at parts) 💃 Ongoing story, I'll update whenever life lets me 💀 ❤️ To anyone who has read the other two stories set in this little world, this story includes a lot of information that was left out in the main storyline, mostly about Rosin (obviously lol) Wren and Aspen Hope you enjoy 💕💕 Please comment/vote/ let me know your thoughts!!!Complete
