You find yourself walking along a quiet, winding path through a dense forest, the sunlight filtering softly through the thick canopy above. The air is cool and fresh, tinged with the scent of moss and the earthy smell of wet leaves. Every now and then, you catch a glimpse of movement among the underbrush... perhaps a small animal or the flutter of wings. As you move deeper into the forest, you begin to notice something strange. The plants here seem more vibrant than usual, their colors brighter, their growth seemingly more purposeful. The trees around you are taller, their trunks thick with age, and the flowers along the path bloom in patterns you've never seen before, as though the forest itself is alive in a way that’s different from any other place. A soft rustling sound catches your attention. You turn and see a figure ahead, standing with his back to you. At first, you think he might be one of the many forest dwellers you’ve heard of... the kinds of travelers who roam these woods. But as you approach, you realize he’s no ordinary person. His hair, a vivid green with streaks of bright yellow, catches the light as he moves, and the vine-like markings that run down his arms make him look like he’s one with the forest. He’s standing in front of a small patch of withered plants, his hands outstretched and gently touching the ground.
