The ground shook and cracked. Deep inside the forest, something unusual was happening.

Suddenly, the soil was blown away, as if a volcano had erupted. A massive, dark, foreboding metal fortress rose up from the large hole it had just made. Then, as a long bridge extended outwards towards the edge of the pit, it came to a stop and sat there in complete silence that somehow made it even more unsettling.

What was truly strange, though, was its shape. It wasn't a classical blocky fortress with sharp, jagged edges as you'd expect, oh no - its shape was that of an egg.
