The Glow

Rumor has it that the Purple Eye Gem still remains at the Ruins of Vivtear. A small gem the size of a robin’s egg that empowers the beholder to see great distances. Damek and Zander, like many before them, came to the ruins in search of the precious gem. Historical scrolls claim the gem glows on a new moon at the darkest of night. Perhaps this will help them locate it among the rubble.

They arrive at dusk and setup camp among the ruins. Zander spars with a fractured column while Damek peacefully watches while contemplating how the gem has avoided discovery for decades. Maybe it isn’t here and this is a waste of time. Weary after the hike, Damek sits down with his back against a pillar and continues to watch Zander. His eyelids become heavy and he drifts off to sleep.

Damek abruptly awakens, gasping. He looks around for Zander. Unable to see him, he mumbles “Zander?” It is pitch dark and only coals remain of the campfire. Damek stands and gingerly begins to move around the ruins. He passes on using a torch for fear the light would hide the gem’s glow. “Zander?” he calls again more clearly. Damek continues searching through the silence.

Miraculously, Damek sees a faint purple glow emanating from a crack in a column. He stumbles forward with excitement. “Zander! I’ve found it. Come quick!” he shouts. Damek tilts his head and peers into the crack. The crack is just large enough for him to slide his fingers in and touch the stone. His middle finger makes the first contact.

Damek’s mind bends and his eyes snap fully open. His spine arches back and his head flings backward. His mouth opens to scream but his body becomes paralyzed while his finger remains touching the gem. His eyes don’t see the stars above. His vision is replaced with a spiraling, purple cloud. He loses his grip on reality and his mind descends into the unknown, taking his body along with him.

Forsaken Cottage

It was early spring, and the trees were just beginning to bud. The weary travelers came upon an abandoned cottage next to a small, rocky pond. The two chairs next to the fire pit lay on their sides and the cottage door was ajar.

“Hello?” Auron called out. Auron cautiously approached the cottage door and peeked in. It was empty except for two small beds, a small rectangular table and bench. The interior was dusty and had not been used for some time.

Exhausted, they decided to rest here. It would be nice to spend the night off the forest floor. Thora stood the fallen chairs upright and took a seat. Auron grabbed some old firewood from next to the cabin and made a fire. They cooked a rabbit they had hunted on the way here and relaxed.

A nearby tree creaked and groaned which seemed odd because there was not any wind. The hair on their necks stood up and they jumped to their feet. The tree started to move and they realized it was no ordinary tree. It was a treant.

“I told you never to return. You are no longer welcome here. I will not have any more trees felled nor creatures hunted. You have no respect!” the treant boomed as he advanced, arms outstretched.

Watching Woods

The morning mist settles on the forest floor. Scattered sun beams sneak through the canopy. The campfire crackles and the smell of cooked rabbit awakens the last sleeping traveler. Colin crawls out of his sleeping bag and sits down by the fire. His companion, Damon, hands him a rabbit’s leg.

The forest is oddly silent. No birds are greeting the sun. No insects are chirping. The feeling that you are being watched sits on everybody’s mind. The feeling that someone or something is out there watching your every move.

Colin stands up and mentions he is going to relieve himself. His footsteps seem loud in the silent forest. He finds a suitable tree, takes the appropriate stance then pauses. A flicker of movement catches his attention out of the corner of his left eye. He turns his head and remains still. Listening. Watching.

Damon hears a scream and sees Colin running back clutching his arm. Colin yells, “Undead!”
