Enchanted Forest Games
You stumble into a magical tournament held once every hundred years — and now you're competing against elves, trolls, and talking animals.
You are the kind of kid who would rather climb a tree than sit on a couch. Every weekend you hike the woods behind your house, building forts out of fallen branches and pretending the squirrels are your wilderness allies. Your name is scratched into half the trail markers in those woods, and you know every shortcut, every creek crossing, every hidden clearing.
Today feels different, though. The air smells sweeter than usual, and the afternoon light filtering through the leaves has a strange golden shimmer that makes the whole forest look like it is holding its breath.
'Something is off,' you whisper to yourself, pausing on the trail. 'The trees are too quiet.' You glance around. 'Or maybe they are too LOUD in a way I cannot hear.' You shake your head. 'That does not even make sense, Sam. Keep walking.'
