The room had a warm feeling with a creamy peach color to the walls and huge windows with hunter green blinds covering them. The walls had a vine and grape border across the top which would cascade down to the windows and across the wide frames surrounding them. There was pictures and ornaments of Dragons placed around the room. My dragon puzzle and the wire vine candle holders with the cascading rose vines placed on each side of the puzzle were hanging above a fire place with a large mantle. Dragon statues complimented the mantle nicely and the fireplace gave off a warm glow to the cozy room.
The trees seemed to tower above me. They were large trees that seemed to steal the sun from the sky and make the entrance to the forest very dark and very ominus looking. I felt a cold chill run up my spine as I stepped closer.
There was a path that lead into the forest that looked like it would be very easy to follow but I proceeded with caution. The path was just a dirt path that looked well used because it was well worn with patches of short grass growing over it. The path was wide enough for a small horsedrawn cart to go thru and the edges were cleared enough so two could pass with just a small space between them. The path was covered with leaves from the previous seasons and the odd falled tree to climb over. The path became darker further into the forest but was still light enough to see where I was going.
I followed the path to a water fall that cascaded down from somewhere above. I reached out and the water was very cold and I leaned forward to take a drink. It was very refreshing and the cold water was very good from the long walk. The water must be coming from a sping high up in the mountains because it was very clear and tasted very yummy. The water fall continued down a small creek that seemed to twist off into the forest.
I looked around and find a shiny silver cup sitting on a rock close to the creek. I pick it up and notice it is just like new and didnt look like it had been there for very long. I looked around for anyone who might be there and called out but there was no answer.
I turn from the cup and start to walk down the path when i notice a small metal key lying in the path. I bend down and pick it up, The key had a round top with a small gold vine etched in it that wound down and stopped above the piece that unlocks its lock. The key looked like and old chest key or maybe an old door key.
