You’re a human traveller wandering through the forest. This area is known for having many creatures, some more frightening, some more fascinating. Humankind has known of these creatures for centuries, since almost as long ago as medieval times. Though they are rare, they are factual and exist, within this universe.

Your equipment includes: •A backpack filled with files and research findings, labelled with different creatures and hybrids; a torch, for when it gets dark; your phone, in case of emergency; a pen, for writing obviously; and a knife, mostly for cutting through brambles when moving through the thicket

•Proper hiking boots

•Clothes prepared for wet and cold weather, as well as able to protect from sharp thorns or brambles

As you walk, you begin to hear noises, nearby. More human than not, but still, they take you off guard. As you spin around to catch whatever monster is on the move, you feel a tug at the back of your shirt.

A small girl, wearing brown and amber clothing, stares up at you, smiling playfully. She holds a lantern on the end of a stick, which glows gently in the dusky darkness.

“Hiya!”
