The dense trees stole all the light from the sky, and the ever darkening surroundings suggested the sun was setting. "We shouldn't have come.

Steven pointed towards a particularly large tree, over one hundred feet tall with unique markings carved into it.
Laura pointed to a group of smaller trees, all intertwined and struggling with each other for light and space.
