<i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#a64dff">The cork would seem rather mundane in their hands however the symbol was very much still clearly etched. Whether or not it would work on the shade wasn't certain but they would be right in assuming it could be important to ensuring an end was brought to this mistake.<br/>

As the group slowly made their way closer to the light in the distance the smell of burning wood would grow stronger. The lights from the roaring fire in the distance of the path was casting weird dancing shadows through the thick sea of trees. Playing tricks on their eyes it would seem that little creatures were darting between trees all around them and there very well could have been but it was impossible to tell. The forest finally becoming less quiet as the sound of the crackling wood began to become stronger as well.<br/>
<br/>
If the group decided to continue closer and closer the group would find a massive clearing at the end of the path. In the center was a roaring fire of firewood that seemed to have been burning for some time. Around the edge of the clearing were massive trees, trees unlike anything else on earth, the circumference of each trunk was the size of a very nice house on earth and there were doors found along the base as if whatever inhabited the forest lived within these massive trees. The trees were impossibly tall as well, stretching far higher than their eyes could see.<br/>
<br/>
There were strange colored streamers strewn about the city as if the little clearing was preparing for a festival but strangely enough the clearing was completely empty. But there would be a strong feeling of being watched if the group moved into the clearing, the darting shadows seeming to be even eerier with the additional spine-chilling atmosphere. Shadows could be seen peaking from the holes in the trees that could be assumed to be the windows of these creatures' homes. There were clearly people hiding within them but they were staying hidden. Whether it was from the humans or the shade it was uncertain. </span></i>
