The stars glimmered above the snow laden forest. In these particular woods, at this particular time, only the owls' hoots and cricket's chirps disturbed the peace. The whole forest seemed to be covered in a blanket of solitude and serenity. It was a New Moon night, the only night in which Manny's sight was closed to the planet of Earth. Deep in the woods, there was a cave where bears used to sleep but, thanks to a certain chilly spirit, the bears had long given it up
The cave was very open on the inside, but the entrance was sheltered with thorny vines; you would be hard pressed to find the exact path that was clear. The inside was covered with fresh snow, and a boy was huddled under the cold softness. He clutched his staff as if it was a teddy bear and failed to register the oddness in the air. He burrowed deeper into the snow.
Something glinted in the dark and it rushed towards the boy. He shifted at the last moment and a sharp dagger scratched the wooden staff. A shadowy man glowered in anger at the near miss and left, thinking the plan failed.
He failed to see the mark on the staff slowly darken.
A/N Next chapter will hopefully be soon and longer.
K, so this is a collab with Trusty Foxy, (an amazing writer and friend) who has a message:
I know I have a more urgent story, but fear not! I will be updating that one soon!
She wrote this part, I just edited it.
Ok, review, fave, follow, and all that good stuff.
Biy!
