Ernwood Forest is home to people living hidden from the prying eyes of humans; the Winged and their tribes. These people stand no taller than a few centimetres off the ground, meaning that things can sometimes get a little difficult... especially when humans are involved.
But life isn't all bad. For the first time ever, Azure and the tribes have a human of their own protecting them from the sinister forces beyond the edge of the trees.
As the months of winter roll in, nights are growing longer and snow has settled on the leafless branches. The forest is still. The only humans anyone expects to see are the few that know of the tiny people's existence.
But the tribes are not alone in the forest anymore.
The abductions begin.
The past awakens.
And a long forgotten shadow falls over the forest.
Azure and the others once again find themselves having to fight to prevent their family from being ripped apart- only this time, things are different.
This time, even the humans are in danger.

This is the third part to this little trilogy :) I would recommend reading the other parts first if you can suffer through them. I can gladly summarise all that has happened so far in a lil note in the beginning if people so desire to skip two stories full of what a younger-me considered good writing :)

Umirin and Shanirin have disappeared off into the depths of the Forest, living alone far away, for this very same reason. Things are as well as they can be, until the Forest stirs the hunters with strange dreams, dreams that show them a secret yet unseen by mortal eyes, a secret kept in the very Heart of it.

As danger looms and tempers flare, he'll have to find a way to break down her walls before it's too late. *** Scars...some are worn on the outside and read like a book, others are hidden on the inside, unseen but shape every fabric of our being.

The Lost
Scary stories of a place called a city are whispered throughout the tribes of the forest. Rumours of great grey forts with monstrous towers, sprawling walls... a place crawling with the monsters everyone so fears. Humans. --- Despite a slightly concerning size difference, Lyn and Lucius are the best of friends that share one common goal: find Lyn's family. A sudden twist in their lives thrusts the two of them into the sprawl of the human city, and achieving that goal suddenly seems impossible. When Lyn and Lucius cross paths with two strange girls, their priorities are tested. These strangers seem to be able to answer Lyn's biggest question: where does she come from? But a pressing problem must be resolved before they can show her. Who is Aspen, and why are these people so desperate to find him? --- This is the continuation to my other story called The Winged. It isn't a direct continuation, but I would recommend reading the other story first to avoid confusion. If you can suffer through it, you can find it on Search or by looking on my account :) Apologies for the incredible time it took me to write this crap. Hopefully you enjoy 🥲Complete

One sacred piece of advice is known: avoid humans at all costs. They know only how to destroy and hurt. ___ Despite the protests of her close friend, Azure accepts a mission that takes her from the safety of her tribe. Things begin well despite her trepidation of the approaching summer months. That is, until she falls right into the hands of the very creatures she feared. ___ Completed!
