BLOSSOM

There they stood. Gold and glorious blossoms surrounded them-the treasure. Gently they collected the seeds.

They must ride the mists home and set about banishing the blight with the seedlings. Their journey had just begun.

BONE

The journey wasn’t without its mishaps, missteps, and misunderstandings. It’s good to know when to work it out… and when to RUN!!!!!

DEPTH

Through mountains, valleys, highs, and lows, our heroes found the depth of their resolve.

TRAIL

The trail was long and winding, but it wasn’t all bad. They had each other.

BLIGHT

The smell of decay followed the blight. It was a smell our heroes were all too familiar with.They ROARED and swung the key. The blight recoiled at their inner strength.

GATE

The gate stood before them just as the old tales had promised. The key turned the lock with a hard click. Creeeeeak! A shiver went down their spines as the gate snuck open.

MIST
I’m the dim light of starlight, our heroes ride the mist that veils the journey ahead. Resolve masked their tremble of fear of the unknown. They pressed onward!
