PROMPT:
The Forest is one of several places on earth, where the veil to unlimited possibility, to unlimited magic exists. The trees are no ordinary trees, for they are a part of a mystical torus of enchantment, pulling pure inspiration from the ethers, spreading it through our roots and disseminating this magic through fruiting bodies of limitless imagination. Anything grows here.
The Forest operates by its own set of rules, housing mysticism and mythical creatures alike. It is everything the industrious civilizations cropping up around it, are not. It is a place for the untamed, mysterious, and wild.
But this torus is not a limitless, self feeding cycle. It needs the electricity of life, of collaboration and participation to complete the cycle and keep it alive. But, if one’s heart turned to greed, apathy or ill will, all would vanish under the naked eye.
And then one day, it did just that. It vanished.
Seductive technologies stole the youth’s attention and the electrical current of life in The Forest was lost.
Wanderers still feel the magic; they believe the magic lives on in the spirit of The Forest. Enchantment evokes when wanderers come together; their energy makes magic rise from the enchanted ground. And it is there for those who are open to see.
NOTE: Please do not feel confined to Euro Fairy Tale themes. Unleash your imagination.
