"I need to see this for myself" said Fred, and he went towards the Tavern
door. "Wait" said the bartender, grabbing something from the cupboards. He takes out a bottle of Dragon's Blood (Not the actually thing, It's just a whisky name) and hands it to Fred. "You might be in there for a while." He said, answering what Fred was thinking. "I appreciate the thought, Sir, but drinking alcohol is one of the worst things you can do on a quest. Some water would be nice, though." "Suit yourself" said the bartender putting away the Dragon's Blood and handing Fred a bottle of water. The cave entrance was no longer their. In its place was a path leading into a large forest. As Fred is entering, some of the villages yell "We'll see you again soon!"."What is up with this forest?" Fred has been walking for about 5 hours and he is starting to lose his wits. The forest is completely devoid of any animal life, despite the fact that the forest is perfect for them. And he swears he has been to this area a dozen times before. He takes a sip of his water, sits down on a boulder near him, and begins to think about what to do. ”This is probably why the villagers think they can’t escape from the village. They come out here after drinking that Dragon’s Blood, see all of these similar looking areas, turn back, and assumes that there is no escape".Fred chuckled at the thought, but inside, he is scared that this forest will never end, that he will be trapped until he starves to death. The thought of failing his Kingdom, not accomplishing his life goals, and never seeing his family is too much for him.After a few minutes, Fred puts his equipment away and continues through the forest, but before he goes, he strikes hatchet he is carrying into the truck of a tree and leaves it their. Now he will know if he is really going in circles. After traveling for another six hours, Fred is exhausted. It is now very late in the afternoon. The sun has just set and the stars are starting to come out. Fred takes a small sip of his water and then finds a soft spot on the ground. He tries to fall asleep, but something disturbs him. Ever since he put the as in that tree, he has never encountered that area again. ”Why is this troubling me so much?” Fred thought. He forced himself not to think about it and eventually fell asleep.
