Hey, Dad. I'm not sure if you've gotten the last few letters. I think there's maybe some problems with the post.
Andrew Bond 0:08
Sorry, there's no return post.
Unknown 0:09
Nothing. I was wondering if you might be able to maybe tell me a little bit more about Granny Freya. Where's Freya? Well, I don't know if you know the same Freya. She died a long time ago, like ten years ago. I saw her recently, I'm sure. Can you show me what she looked like? She looked kind of like you. You are kind of like her.

I went off the path, through the bushes, and there was a glade filled with mamu. I brought an offering, like you showed me, and I put it in the shrine. It was like I gave an offering back.
Andrew Bond 0:55
That cloak that you found, you can find it within the forest. Yes. This is far more important than any harvest. This is about the spiritual sanctity. of our home i came because and he pulls this jacket an envelope addressed to lark's grove with your name on it in the hand of your father we write to you today to ask that you come home forthwith we are being honored by the royal council in a number of weeks
Orla Coghlan 1:20
Okay, I could do that.
Andrew Bond 1:21
Sorry, where are you going?
Orla Coghlan 1:22
Basically, there's a big evil force that's in the forest.
Unknown 1:26
And I think it's taking over. And it might be trying to hurt everybody. So I need to find out what the evil force is, who it is.
Orla Coghlan 1:35
And also, while I'm looking for it, see if I can find the mother spirit who... Oh, yeah.
Andrew Bond 1:42
Is this magic ring stuff?
Orla Coghlan 1:43
Maybe you're supposed to come with me.
Andrew Bond 1:45
I didn't prepare anything.
Orla Coghlan 1:46
I think I have enough jars for both of us.
Andrew Bond 1:48
You both slowly get deeper into this mysterious whispering forest.
Andrew Bond 2:02
There is a profound silence between yourself and Bellamy in this moment as You can see his furrowed brow and very slightly sort of nodding and shaking head try to comprehend the information you've just imparted to him. Everything that your grandfather has told you about the forest, about your grandmother. about what it is that he hopes you'll be able to achieve. And in that moment, you can hear the forest breathing around you as well. Birds chirping in the trees. distant animals chattering in the bush far off crunching twigs and leaves under your feet as you continue to pace forward quite steadily slowly making your way over twisted gnarled roots and patches of spongy moss on the floor ...and... ...surrounded... ...by... ...thick, dense... ...vegetation.

They are just sort of the way it seems to give least resistance through this fairly wild and very alive-feeling forest. And as you give Bellamy that moment... You're looking around the forest more intently now. And you'll begin to notice things about it that perhaps weren't really visible or as evident in your experience in the small glen of the forest you've been in previously. This forest seems to be littered with artifacts of old, although they're quite difficult to discern initially, so covered in moss and vines that creep around them and mat their surface that

They become a part of the tapestry, a part of the ambience of the forest, nestled and hidden amongst the bracken and the wildflowers. But you see what looks like frequent stone pillars. that... have very weathered carvings... in them... every so often... like signposts almost... some close to you... on the path... some... further off... into the brush... you see... What just about looks like... Weapons... Swords... Plunged... Into the ground... As if... Left there... Like a mark... And you see... Also... What looks like... Could possibly have... Once... Long ago... Have been...
