The Forest Girl

Elara: “Oh hello! I didn’t think anyone else wandered this part of the forest. It’s so quiet here, isn’t it? Almost as if the world has forgotten about it.”

She brushes a lock of chestnut hair from her face and tilts her head curiously.

Elara: “I come here whenever I can… to breathe, to listen, to just be. People say I spend too much time in the woods, but I think the forest has more wisdom than most teachers.”
