I blinked sleepily up at Kryzen before I felt my eyes widen as I processed his words.
We made it to our first destination. I had heard stories of the Whispering Woods. When we were young children, my mother told stories of her exploration of the enchanted forest. She told the tales with such wonder that my brothers and I assumed that such a place couldn’t really exist.
Yet Kryzen and I were getting ready to visit it ourselves.
Kryzen laughed when I practically leaped out of bed and started to get dressed. He followed my lead but at a much more controlled pace.
A melodic whistle sounded through the car, announcing that we had arrived at one of the many stops on the Embervale Express. We grabbed our bags. Kryzen took my hand as we stepped off of the train.
