The Lady of the Forest

A glimpse into the heart of the Forest...

Imagine it...

 

You walk into a nearby wood,

And stop.

The path you followed

Is gone.

Now what do you do?

 

Imagine it...

 

You are

Lost.

You see a woman come through the trees.

Don't look at her.

She may be you salvation or damnation,

But don't look.

 

Imagine it...

 

You sense her immaculate beauty.

You sense her love,

But it's not directed toward you.

Don't speak.

 

You sense her immeasurable radiance

And her hatred.

It is your fault.

Don't move.

 

She walks toward you and begins to sing.

A melody to rival the most beautiful works of art.

You can see the words of her song.

Don't breathe.

 

As she sings, you become surrounded.

It is the two of you and the woods.

She touches you.

Don't panic.

 

Her touch sends heat through your body.

You begin to tremble.

And then you fall.

 

And fall.

 

And fall.

 

She does not catch you.

No one else is around.

The ground opens up and swallows you whole

Open your eyes.

 

Upon opening, you see

The woman.

Her eyes are level with yours.

A breathtaking shade of

 

Imagine it.

 

You are but a shade of what you once

Were.

Seduced by the Woman of the Wood,

You are now

Hers.
