The dense trees stole all the light from the sky, and the ever darkening surroundings suggested the sun was setting. "We shouldn't have come.

"We could retrace our steps," Steven suggested.
They turned, trying to figure out the direction they'd come from.

Steven pointed towards a particularly large tree, over one hundred feet tall with unique markings carved into it.
Laura pointed to a group of smaller trees, all intertwined and struggling with each other for light and space.
