Chapter 8 - Not All Paths Are Safe

"Oh my gosh, look at all the glowing trees! Oh, and the flowers, the beautiful flowers!"

Rosy yelled excitedly, jumping all around as we all walked deep into the forest.

Toki led us, showing us all her favourite places and everything.

And we also talked.

"So,"

I started.

"you really are the guardian of this forest?"

"Well, yeah, but sometimes it's more like the forest guards me"

Toki laughed as she jumped from a tree to tree, who knows why with a teasing face.

"And you really are Kai's girlfwiend?"

"WHAT, WHO SAID THAT?!" I and Kai said at the same time while blushing.

"I thought it's obvious, just look at yourself! Accidentally saying the same thing at the same time, bumping into each other..."

"Rosy said it, didn't she?"

"NO!"

After a few seconds, Toki spoke again.

"So. Tell me about yourself, please! I don't like having there guests while knowing nothing about them"

I started.

"Alright... In my world I'm a rabbit named... Rabbit. I have the same fur color as my hair, and I have very long ears, like my hair here. My mom is named Bunny, Snow is White and Rosy is Pink andd everything is different. And I miss hay already..."

Kai continued.

"In my world I'm a sloth named Chaos. I have the same fur, of course, as my hair, and I have... Ten sisters—"

"WHAT??!!"

"is it that bad??" Kai asked, looking at them.

"No, it's amazing!" Rosy called, this time not lying at all.

Then Toki spoke.

"Alright, my turn! I'm Toki and I don't really have "my world"... Because I belong here. I grew up in this forest since I don't know when, and we've been guarding ourselves since forever. I was made for this!"

"Made?" Confused Snow asked.

"Yeah, this forest made me! Maybe around 1,000 years ago, but I'm not sure.."

"WHAT???!!!" everyone said all at once.

"So you're 1,000 years old?!"

"Yeah, but maybe more."

"No way! You really are something."

"Thanks, I think"

Everyone giggled. But I had one more question.

"So, about this forest... You really know where to go?"

Toki looked.

"Ha! I know this WHOLE forest, and I always wondered what are the pieces, because nobody ever told me the whole story. But you know, I have two truths that every visitor of this forest should know."

"What ones?"

I asked, already curious.

"First, I know more than anyone, especially about the magic."

"Second,"

Toki slowed down.

"Not all paths are safe."
