You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))
You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
With a sense of trepidation, she lowered herself onto the cushion, feeling the weight of the old hag’s gaze bearing down on her.
"Er.. I was born in the big forest," she began, pausing briefly to feel the cushion beneath her, "It's a cozy spot, with lots of trees and animals all around. My mom and dad were there too, always looking after me. My dad, he knew all about the forest. He taught me how to find food and how to be respectful to the trees and creatures. And my mom, she was really good with plants. She showed me which ones could help when we got hurt."
Growing up, I played a lot with the other kids. We'd run around and explore, finding all sorts of neat things in the woods. But deep down, I always felt like there was something more out there, something beyond the trees. So, one day, I decided to go find it. My mom and dad said it was okay, as long as I promised to be careful." She cleared her throat, then continued, "And off I went, with nothing but my curiosity to guide me.
Now, here I am, telling you about it. It's been quite a journey, full of surprises and new experiences. But no matter where I go, I'll always carry a piece of home with me, in my heart."
