Traveling through the forest the only sound Akiol heard was the sound of his own footsteps. He intentionally made noise in hope of startling something away or attracting something else. Yet the forest was eerily quiet.
'What is this place?' -Stars
"I wish I knew. Although I have a few theories on why it's like this.", Akiol leapt up a tree to gain an idea of where the sun was.
While estimating the time left in the day Akiol continued, "Either everything has been hunted. Or something scary enough lives here that everything left. I'm more inclined to think the latter due to how undamaged the forest is."
'Why does the condition of the forest matter?' -Stars
"Usually when things are hunted to extinction there's signs. Damage to the forest from the hunters or chases. Yet there's nothing. That means two things. First means that the things in the forest left of their own will. Or the hunting took place so long ago that the forest had healed the damage."
