It is dark out when I wander close to the forest's edge. My parents have always discouraged it, but I cannot help the pull I feel towards it.The sound of the water falling from the trees distracts me. I slip silently into the forest, following the sound of the water. As I moves deeper into the woods, the trees grow taller and denser, blocking out the light from the moon. I continue on, my endless curiosity driving me forward quieting my fear of what is in the unknown. Just as quickly as they had closed the trees open up in a wide but small meadow surrounded by trees and shrouded in moonlight. A long twisting stream surrounded my small stone pillars ripples through the soft land glowing an enchanting blue in the moon's light. That's when I hear it. A small pebble tumbles from a rocky pedestal, ending with a soft splash into the calm river. Behind the small column of stone crouches a shadow. Shimmering icy orbs as blue as the glowing river stare at me. I have never seen eyes such as these.
