After failing and being embarrassed in front of the whole school,Zoey comes back home with a heavy heart. As an early birthday present her father bought her a puppy, only to tell her that he won't be able to make it to her birthday party. After all this sadness and  heartbreak, she finds herself outside with her new best friend in the shade of the oakwood tree. 

Today this tree looks different, a large portal is opened behind it. Gel-like substances spill out from the portal. Zoey's puppy,Jewels, gets suck inside. With determination to save her puppy she follows suit. 

Entering a new world filled with wild and deadly animals, Zoey must use the very little survival skills she has to make it out alive. She meets someone who lives there, among the animals, Lopus. She and him work together to not only find Jewels but to also save this magical forest. 

While on journeying, Zoey discovers that the magic isn't only around her but also within her. Her family history runs deep in the forest and she is now a magical being. Will Zoey find her beloved puppy and make it out? Will she save the forest from a deadly power?

The Opening

"Zoey, you know you can't take down a beast on your own, right?" Earine asked after I told her we have to fight. 


"What do you mean? I'll go get the scroll and take down the monster then boom! Everything goes back to normal and I go back home." I said, walking to...well I don't know where but at least it's somewhere. "And Scarlet, stop trying to cry, you'll hurt your face." She chuckled when I said that, it made me smile genuinely for the first time in a long time. 


"You haven't had the trinket for a long time. You may think you have it all mastered but you don't." Earine stated matter-of-factly. "Plus taking down the beast isn't going to restore the forest." 


"Well my dear Earine, I'm not like any old trinket holder. I actually have a black belt in karate." I still remember that day, it was the day before my fourteenth birthday. "No one is going to take me down."
