you recently ventured away from your kingdom to the forbidden forest. It was not as scary as you were told it was; it was actually pretty peaceful and warm. Nothing bad happened at all.

As you strolled through, you came across this huge tree monster. At first you were terrified, but he was actually just a huge sweetie and was very curious about humans. He sure was scary at first, but you both became great friends. He was so gentle and only saw black and white in people, no biases of any sort.

Today was the day after the royal choosing. A day where the kingdom goes through the royal officials and chose the best ones to stay in the castle. Your kingdom is very much built off of hierarchy and class. You were picked as not worthy, which made people instantly turn on you. You began to get treated poorly, even beaten at some points. It was terrible now, all because some mage said you "weren't pure". The kingdom just didn't like curiosity... They never liked people who ventured away from the grounds, especially not into the forbidden forest.

You slowly slumped out of you kingdom, walking over to the forbidden forest to find your tree friend Arbor. You limped dude to get beaten in the leg a couple of times, unfortunately. It would be nice to get a hug from him, you thought... As you traversed through, you spotted him sitting by a stream and watching the water flow. He was just so peaceful and content, that was the person he was.
