The Enchanted Forest

As soon as I passed through the clearing, it felt as if I passed through a server as if stepping through into a sauna. In the upper corner of my screen a noticification appeared reading [Enchanted Forest, Mirkwood].

I took off into the forest, running, panting, not for very long. As if I had the stamina of someone who had never run a day in my life, I curled over heaving and coughing; someone one could only experience as a player you just started in their avatar body.

After catching my breath I looked up and all around me.

It was a wondrous sight beyond my expectation. Throughout the forest was [Sprites] floating through the trees, [Pyreflies] buzzing just above the underbrush. The trees were covered in plants that gave off a soft but beautiful glow. All together they danced as one showing off something truly amazing.

It was if Rin Maurus was saying even in these struggles keep your light and keep your hope.

Forward, I will continue forward; I will conquer this event and come out alive.
