Coco had been walking through the forest for a while now, the only light coming from the moon above and the stars scattered in the sky.
The trees around her cast long shadows, their branches reaching out like dark specters ready to grab and injure those who got too close to the tree, giving every guard a silent threat to keep walking in their lane.
As they walked, their surroundings slowly changed, and the forest thinned out, revealing a large cliff dropping off into a deep gorge below.
The view of the cliff was stunning, there was a town below them— a glowing mass of lights that cut through the darkness of the forest and illuminated the forest floor as well as its surroundings.
It was a sight to behold, really.
Its buildings and streets are outlined by the glowing lamps, the glow casting long shadows across the ground below, a miraculous light and civilization in the midst of the wild unknown.
Coco knelt down at the edge of the cliff, her gaze fixed on the town below.
