Great Legends of Hyrule; Wednesday, Third Period [03/16].
The class would be meeting in the Danger Shop that week, which meant that Sidon was particularly excited about the lesson and all it would entail. And, apparently, what it would entail included a very moody, atmospheric forest cloaked in fog, the skeletal shapes of the leaf-less trees emerging around the ruins of some long-gone entryway. Although the air was temperate and mild, something about the misty desolation of it might just send a chill racing up your spine, but Sidon's eager grin might just be enough to chase it away.
"Nestled in the Great Hyrule Forest, on a island at the center of the great gorge known as Lake Mekar, is a vast and mysterious place known colloquially around Hyrule as the Lost Woods!"
And, yes, Siodn's voice dropped to an appropriately awed and enigmatic hush there.
"Not much is known about the Lost Woods, although many things are said about them, and it is of little surprise! The constant cloak of fog that wraps around the place keeps its mysteries far from prying eyes, and it is said that anyone who attempts to venture too deeply into the woods will find themselves either utterly lost for all eternity, or, if they are lucky, swept back to this very entrance instead, as if the very forest itself were politely escorting you to the door and asking you to leave! Naturally, the lure of attempting to solve such mysteries is a powerful one, and one that many adventurers of Hyrule have attempted to answer, but to no avail!
"When viewed from above, one might take notice of a burst of pale pink leaves at the very center of the fog and mist and skeletal branches, adding even more questions to the nature of this place. What is so special about this tree? How might one reach it? Will we ever truly know? The tree is said to be a great and powerful forest spirit, perhaps even a forest god, and I have even heard whispers that he may somehow be tied to the Sword that Seals the Darkness that we have mentioned in a previous lesson. It is also said that he looks over those known as Koroks, or Children of the Forest, who protect the forest and all the vibrant life that goes along with it, and that these mists and the deadly feeling of the Lost Woods is said to be merely a disguise to protect their realm and keep interlopers out. Only the truly worthy may find the path to the heart of the Lost Woods, and the vibrant Korok Forest within!
"And so today!" The grim enigmatic tone of Sidon's voice lifted back up in a burst of excitement and another broad grin. "That is what we shall attempt to do! Perhaps one of you may be worthy to discover the Korok Forest and the great Tree Spirit within the mysterious woods! Or perhaps we shall all be but lost souls in the mists, constantly whisked back here to this very spot to have to try again! Don't worry, though! There are torches throughout the forest to perhaps guide the way. How are these torches lit and maintained? Is it by the Forest Spirits themselves? Or perhaps the woodland creatures that seem to be able to gallavant through these woods without the same care and caution that we must take for ourselves? Perhaps. There is only one way to find out!"
