The emerald green grass was soft like clouded candyfloss, while the diamond blue lake reflected the azure coloured sky. Lavender and honeysuckle drifted drunkenly to my nose, while a faint smell of baking cookies tickled me. I felt like I should know this place. A faint memory, whispering in my head, told me this was a place of happiness and joy. I shook my head. I didn't belong in a place like this. But still I padded closer to the vast entrance, guarded by the royal guards./span/p

The moment I stepped in, I felt I was falling through a vortex, spinning through blurred memories. I eventually landed, on my feet as usual. I saw a throne chamber, and in it, two wolf pups, and with them the old king, the mighty King Wolfheart. He was talking to the two pups. One honey coloured pup was bouncing up and down joyfully, the second black one was looking like he was trying not to cry. Suddenly, the black pup ran out, sobbing in the most heartbreaking way. I followed him, out of the castle grounds, into the enchanted forest. I thought he would stop, but he carried on, until he was in the haunted forbidden woods. He eventually slumped down near a old, mouldy, Brocken down cottage. It smelt stank, a mixture of mould and rotting meat. I gagged. /span/p
