There is a Garden deep in the woods where time is slowed and mysteries run deep, like gold in the mines of the distant mountains. Once you enter the woods you may not come back. But if you enter the Garden, you WILL never come back. That is the only thing that is certain in the Dark Woods of Broenbae.

-----------------------------------------
Heavy panting. The pounding of feet on the forest floor. No other sounds rang through the trees. No bird songs. No animals playing. Not even the sound of bees buzzing. Only the frantic sounds of running.

"Run faster!" Yelled a brown haired girl in a purple dress. She ran behind her two companions, one with raven black hair down to her waist and the other with white hair. All three ran wild and panicked through the woods.

"We left her. What are we going to do?" Asked the raven haired girl turning once to look behind her.

"Don't turn around. We have to go faster. Once we are out of the forest then we will figure out what to do. Go back for her and the others, something. But right now we have to keep running."

The white haired girl whimpered beside the others. Just as the brunette was going to speak to her a blood curdling screech came not to far behind them. All three girls ran faster. A small ray of light could be seen ahead. Fueling there hope of escape.

"The edge of the wood." whispered the raven haired girl.

"Keep going we are almost there!" yelled the brunette. They were a hundred yards away when a giant shadow passed over them. All three girls skidded to a halt. In front of them was a giant beast. It blocked there escape and hope of freedom.

"Go!" yelled the brunette as she pushed one girl left and the other right. She charged the beast. Hoping to distract it long enough to let her friends escape. But the beast was too big. With his wings outstretched he flapped once and sent all three girls tumbling backwards. He advanced and all went black.
