There is beauty in everything.

The world I live in is full of wonder. Light and Dark. There is no safety. Only the strong survive in these woods. That is what I know.

-Anonymous

.................

I run through the woods with neck-breaking speed. They are soon to find me. They will find our place. 

"No, nononono."

They will soon be on me if I do not find a way out. "Hey!" I trip over a root, and tumble down the hill. It's as if I went under water. I hear the pounding of feet, but it seems all so muffled. Stars dance in my vision.

They run down towards me, ready to strike. They are only a yard away, when a light radiates above me. It grow brighter and brighter by the second. It seems to slowly descend. Then it rockets off towards the enemy. The last thing I hear are people screaming, and someone calling my name.

...............

Everything is okay in the life of Leo Parsh, until "they" arrive. We do not know who "they" is, and they would like to keep it that way. However, when new dangers arrive "they" are slowly, but surely, forced into the light which they have always avoided. Will Leo and the many others learn who "they" is? Will Leo be able to gain the trust of this anonymous person in order to save the mystical creatures of the forest and themselves?
