Essay --

On a very warm, muddy day in the forest of Nowhere, Rachel Springfoot bounded through the trees on her quick feet. She ran as fast as she could on top of the thick layer of moss that covered the forest floor. She sprinted past her favorite climbing tree, her many braids, large and small, streaming out behind her. She smelled the wet dirt and leaves of the forest. She stopped, out of breath, at the tallest tree of her quarter. She started to climb. Watching her climb was quite interesting because she just jumped and never stayed in one spot very long. She just bounced on different branches, often doing flips and tricks along the way. After only a minute or two she came to the top of the tree. The sun was just setting and there was a beautiful pink sky that made everything look orange. Far off on the horizon she saw five great big rock monsters waking from their slumber. She stared in awe at the giant creatures standing up and lumbering off in the opposite direction, toward the Icy Mountains. Rachel could barely see the tips of the black and white glaciers against the burning sun. It had only lasted for a moment, but she had seen what had been foretold. You see, everything in the forest of Nowhere revolves around prophecies. There is a prophecy for everything, including the lives of each youngling. The whole forest had a story and this is how it goes: Long ago there was a war between the Winters and the Summers and the Autumns and the Springs. they had been fighting for years, so far back that no one knows why. But there was a princess, daughter of the Spring King, who knew that something was not right. She was an Enchantress who knew the ways of spells and she sensed that there was magic involved so she explored. Soon after, ... ...llapsed down on the snow. It had been a week since Rachel had killed the giant and she was feeling much better. She had woken up on a very white bed in her tree house medical room with her mother tree’s face, a doctor and the boy of Spring. She had been rather shocked to hear the story but this is how it went. The voice she had heard was Mother Tree’s and she had still been asleep when she started to glow and the rock giant had been overpowered by her light and he fell and died. Only minutes after, the doctor and the boy of Spring, Ray, had come to bring her home. She had a couple of bad bruises but that was it. Now mother tree’s spirit came over to her bed side. â€Å"Rachel,† she said softly †you control the forest, you are the life of not only your quarter but the whole forest.† â€Å"What?† Rachel asked. mother replied â€Å"The Forest of Nowhere is depending on you†
