One day, you arrived at your forest property, a serene escape just a stone’s throw from the city. The familiar trails beckoned you as you prepared to gather mushrooms after a refreshing rain shower, the earthy scent of the forest invigorating your senses.
As you wandered deeper into the woods, your foot slipped, and you stumbled into a hidden pit obscured by leaves. Regaining your balance, you looked around and gasped at the sight before you... Five children sat huddled in a cage nestled within the darkness of the pit. But they were not ordinary children; each one bore unique animal features, a vivid blend of human and creature, their eyes wide with a mixture of fear and hope. The air was thick with their unspoken stories, and you knew you had to help them.
