It felt like I was a child again. The cool smell of the forest surrounded me as the orange leaves crunched beneath my paws. ‘How long has it been since I last came here?’

It was almost dark. The setting sun painted everything around me, surrounding me with vibrant shades of red and orange: with the crunching of the fallen leaves, it was like walking through fire.
A bird sang as I stopped before an old oak tree. Carved into it were the initials “M + A”.
I stared at it, smiling as I felt the heavy feeling of nostalgia bring back sweet memories.
I didn’t stay there for long. As I walked, breathing in the dry smell of dust and dead leaves, I thought back of the times I've spend with him. Bittersweet, but happy.
I wondered why he asked me to meet at our “base”.
That little cabin, barely standing even then, was what we called our base.

I heard some rustling in the bushes. I stopped, holding my breath, hoping it’s not a boar or something worse. I smiled and let out a relieved sigh when I saw a deer’s head pop out from behind the bush.

forest stroll story: Lucina wiped the moisture off of her cheek and stared through the trees, closing her eyes and enjoying the warmth of the pale morning sun on her face. It was so early that nobody else was around to break the silence of the forest. She started forward again, ignoring the dew that clung to her fur from the plants she brushed past, listening closely. There! The quiet rush of a small stream was barely able to be heard. Tiptoeing around the trees, Lucina made her way next to the stream and knelt, running her paw under the clean water. It was icy cold and sparkling in the sunlight, the babbling noise soothing in the quiet. 'It was the right idea to come out here,' she thought to herself, standing and shaking the water from her paw. Lucina'd needed to get away from the city and find someplace where she could be alone and simply breathe in the clean air. Determination in her eyes, she straightened her posture and set off further into the forest. If she was here to walk and get lost in nature, she was going to do it right. [ 192 / 200 ]

forest stroll story
♪ A secret spot to hide away,
Where faeries come to sing and play
This is where I long to stay,
deep in the woods, every day. ♫♪

Imogen hummed absently as she pushed through the thick ivy that surrounded her very favorite spot. She walked this way at least once a week, usually more. She craved the peace the forest provided her, the cacophony of green leaves and bird song made her feel more at home than her bedroom ever had. But best of all was…

The slim cascade of water poured into a deceptively deep pool. Imogen breathed in the spicy scent of crushed ivy as she took her last steps toward the pebbles that ringed the water. As she listened to the burbling water rush by, the weight of her parent's expectations lifted. She could breath again. Imogen absently picked a sprig of leaves off a bush to twine in her hair. Her classmates might make fun of her for it, but she didn't care. Imogen's family didn’t understand why she came out here. Her classmates teased her for her obsession with plants. She brushed them off. There was magic in the world, and it was right here.

xxxxxxxxxxxthe woods can feel pitch black, claustrophobic, if you don't know where you're going.
xxxxxxxxxxxeven in broad daylight. like the trees are bending, folding in toward you to swallow you up. a
xxxxxxxxxxxfluttering of bird wings seems more like the otherworldly snarl of an unseen monster, stalking
xxxxxxxxxxxyou, eyes unblinking, matching your pace, right behind you, but somehow always out of sight.

and it can be that way. nature is unknowable, at its core. there are things unseen.xxxxxxxxxxx
spirits, trolls... but breathe. close your eyes, clear your mind. open your eyes and your mind.xxxxxxxxxxx
breathe. feel the soft earth between your toes. wiggle them, remind yourself of where you are.xxxxxxxxxxx
the land is beautiful. it's wise. feel the breeze through your fur, let it wrap around you, let it fillxxxxxxxxxxx
your lungs. do you hear the leaves gently rustling? it's the earth's song. she calls to you because shexxxxxxxxxxx
wants you to know her. to appreciate her beauty. to respect her power, to grow and share and protectxxxxxxxxxxx
her bounty. will you run to answer her call? she is waiting for you.xxxxxxxxxxx

Refreshing.

the goal is to connect with mother nature. detox the soul.
barefoot, become one with the world around you and soak
up a kind of peace only the woodlands can offer; from the
roots up. silent breezes, subtle birdsong, and no one except
you and your conscience.

meditation in one of the purest of forms, and a perfect
place to bring your darkest thoughts to abandon them. ab
andon them to wander and lose themselves in the shadows
- or to find themselves, and return to you cleansed

forest stroll story:
it wasn't much of a forest, but the sparsely packed shrubs were something that acacia had
gotten used to for the first 19 years of her life. day in and day out, her routine consisted with
strolling these dry fields of grass and bushes that pricked her legs. pulling at her skirts as she
walked, she neared the east gate and pulled it back. scuffling her cowgirl boots as she lifted
the heavy thing. she took a deep breath of air, pulling it into her lungs. the wild west may not
be the forest many think of. or even a forest in that matter. but it was as homey to her as a
"regular" densely packed forest would be to a Midwesterner. she could see her horses in the
distance. star shimmer's white and black speckled pelt stood out like a torch in the middle of
the light brown scenery. oh how did she love the openness of this place. anything more and she
would be claustrophobic. [ 167 words ]

kalon name:Elmwood (El for short)
forest stroll story: It was cooling off in the upper part of the mountains, El had finally broken out her winter jacket to wear while on her stroll down to the river. The trees were towering overhead, swaying steadily with the breeze that swept through the forest. Leaves fell from the branches, slowly drifting down to the forest floor where El walked. She hummed a tune as she began gathering red leaves in her basket. All shapes and sizes but always the color red. She strolled down the beaten path, observing her surroundings and taking notice to the trees beginning to go through abscission. It saddened her to see her favorite trees die out for the winter, but she knew they would come back stronger in the spring.
Finally, she made it to her favorite spot, the river bank. She hunted for smooth stones that laid themselves amongst the shore, begging to be picked up and brought home. She filled her basket with small stones and began her journey back home. Still in awe she lived in a place surrounded by such beauty and harmony. [182/200 words]
