The Forest of the Forgotten
Chapter One A gentle breeze brushes along the leaves of the neighboring trees. I'm lying in the grass, tall and overgrown as far as the eye can see, making it almost impossible for me to see. The sound the wind makes had always brought a smile to my face, especially here.

The Dream Guardian
Duncan had always been a vivid dreamer, but she'd never fallen through her bedroom floor before. One moment she was lying in bed, drifting off to sleep after a particularly exhausting day at the bookstore where she worked.

The Glass Fairy
In the forest is a glass fairy. Some say it is a statue, a carving, but others tell a more sinister tale. They say she was a good fairy who helped everyone and looked after the forest and its creatures. One day, an evil vampire came upon the fairy and bit into its flesh, draining its blood and its soul, til all that was left was an outline of glass. The vampire left sated and was never seen again, but the fairy's glass remains were left in the depths of the forest as a warning, or a symbol of hope.
