Going back WAY further in the story, I've decided to go and remake the first pieces of my fairy tale. This was originally two separate pieces, but I decided to fit them together because they go one right after the other.
This is when Raymond and Annora reach the Forest of Light. This is a magical place full of glowing plants and animals. When they first enter the forest, it's a bit quiet. Almost too quiet. However, soon after they enter, the edges of the leaves begin to glow a radiant blue, and the sounds of the forest come alive.
The animals begin to show themselves as well, welcoming them into the forest. Bright blue fish swim by in the streams, and pixies fly all around the forest. The luminous deer come out of hiding.
"This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," Annora says, as she is watching the magic unfold.
They stop seeing the forest for a second and can only see each other now. They begin to dance as the forest dances around them. As they hold each other in their arms, they lock eyes, and the rest is history....
