Chapter 1: The Start Of A New Beginning
I'm just a normal guy moving from my parents and I just moved in to a town called Poralin. It's a nice place, some flower gardens here and there, a fountain with different color roses around it, the town hall perfectly decorated with Christmas lights for it was the start of December when I came, and a huge forest on the other side of the river, still some area across there for houses. I walked into the town hall to see Isabelle at the front desk, which I think that's her name for it was what it said on the card.
"Why hello there! You must be our newest resident! Brandon was it?" Isabelle asked (again assuming it was Isabelle). "Why yes." I responded, "You must be Isabelle?". "Yep! Nice to meet you! This is mayor Ron!" She said pointing to the mayor at the back working. Ron looked up, "Oh hello! Your Brandon? Nice to meet you!". Ron got up and walked up to me and shook my hand. "Pleasure to meet you, mayor Ron." I said. "Here is the keys to your house. You should find it across the river near the great forest." Ron said handing me my house keys. "Thanks! Well see you guys later, this thing is very heavy to carry around and tired from all the traveling here." I said as I waved bye and walked outside in search for my house.
I finally found my house and unpacked everything. Bed, check. T.V., check. New walling and carpeting, check. Dresser, check. Couch, check. Table, check. That's everything! Time to relax. I sat in my chair and turned on the T.V. Nothing good was on so I turned it off and looked outside. I seen the thick woods and thought if I should go walk around in there. I got up and put on my coat. I went outside and walked up to the entrance of it. It looked really deep, probably fifty feet deep! Started walking in and seen different types of flowers and bushes growing in the spotlights of the woods. Soon I found a bench where there was a huge spot of sunlight with flowers around it. So I decided to sit down and relax there instead.
The place was gorgeous! It was like sitting in a fantasy! I imagined what the place would be like during every season! Since it's almost winter I imagined whiteness everywhere sparkling in the spotlights up against the soft solid gray shadows of the trees on the rest of the areas. Soon I heard a snap of a twig go off behind me and I turned around in a flash.
It was a female wolf villager."GAH! I'm sorry! Didn't mean to disturb you!" said the wolf. "It's OK, just startled me a bit." I said. "I didn't expect anyone else to see this spot. I thought I was the only one." she said with a bit of a surprised look on her face. "Why? Doesn't anyone ever come down this way? I mean it is in the village." I asked. "Well... this bench was here before these trees. I've been in this town from the start of it all. I found this bench in the middle of no where, no one seemed to notice it and some never even knew it existed. I soon planted all these trees and flowers hoping for it to become a nice place and people would finally see this side of the town, but no one came. Everyone to involved with the city type business to even notice it." she said frowning. "Well I noticed it." I said hoping to cheer her up, and she did, she looked up at me and smiled, "I guess your right. Mind if I sit, too?" she asked. "Sure." I answered.
"Oh my! I forgot to tell you my name! I'm Skye!" she said. "I'm Brandon. Nice to meet you Skye." I said smiling. "So, what do you think of the forest?" she asked. "It's beautiful! I keep imagining what it would be like during the night, during the winter, and any other season. I just can't stop wondering!" I said looking around. "Why thank you! Took me a while to get everything. And I made sure I did this at night so the mayor wouldn't notice, because if he did he would have just ruined it telling me I can't privately hold a large amount of land." she said. "Well you did a really good job. Nice touch with these flowers around the bench here, too." I said smelling one. "Thanks, I tried making it look nice for everyone... well I keep wishing." she said sadly. "Hey, cheer up now. I'm sure people will notice this place sooner or later! I mean I seen it, so I'm bound that someone else will see it, too!" I said smiling. She looked up at me and smiled. "I guess your right, if one other person seen it, the surely someone else will see it and more and more!" she said. "Yep, I'm sure this place will be full of people, and maybe the mayor will like it as well!" I said.
"Well it's getting late, gonna head home, k?" Skye said getting up. "I guess your right, might as well head out myself." I said getting up myself. We both walked out (more likely I fallowed her since I didn't remember where I got in) of the forest and she looked at me and said, "Hey, it was nice meeting you Brandon! Hope we could do this again, kinda lonely in there by myself.", "I'm sure I'll be in there everyday. I can't think of every single time going in there it ever being the same." I said smiling. She smiled back and waved goodbye as I did as well and walked back to my house. It was the start of a new (and first) friendship ever since I moved.
