The room is quite large with a lavish bedspread of bright colors. The bed is extremely comfortable, not too firm, not too soft. The warmth of the room is apparent thru the sunlight of the open windows--a gentle breeze blows the creamy sheer drapes. A pillow-covered cushioned bench is near the window. The coals in the fireplace still glow.
The forest is filled with numerous types of straight tall pines, strong oaks, swaying birch and elm. The smell of sweet clean pine permeates the forest. The sunlight streams through the branches illuminating many wispy ferns, green grasses, and lush moss. The intriguing calls and delightful songs of many birds can be heard.
The path is barely discernible. I am able to walk wherever I want to go as it appears to melt into the grasses and moss of the ground. Very few creatures appear to have been here before. Despite this, I have no problems moving around the forest and I am able to guide myself with the few clues that lay ahead in the tiny overgrown path.
Ahead is a fast moving and ice cold brook. The river is some 20 feet across but is very shallow. It is easy to see that it begins many miles from here at a mountain or a large freshwater lake. Many rocks protrude from the water's surface making crossing the brook a relatively easy challenge. The water is refreshing and very clean tasting.
The large clay vase is brightly painted with yellow and blue flowers, furry gray bunnies, and deer with large spiky antlers. It is very sturdy and contains no cracks or chips. It easy to see that it has been kept clean and handled with care for many many years.
The key is made of a shiny silver and is double sided. It has many teeth on either side and is elongated. It could belong to either a car or a safety deposit box from the look of it. The engraving on the key is difficult to read to determine this exactly.
