1 Chapter 1: 'In the Forest'

"Ugh! This homework's not for me. I can't do this anymore, I'm tired". A 14 year-old boy said, with the intention of living a peaceful life all alone by himself with no workload.

Those words came from Milo, a 14 year-old boy whose dream is to become a Hero. Milo lives a relatively normal life. Goes to School in the morning, comes home afternoon, gets the homework done, plays a little bit, and then goes to sleep.

Milo sleeps early not only because its a Good habit, but also because the young boy loves to dream. After closing his eyes, he dives into a dreamy world of his own. Lately Milo has been creating his own Story in his Dreams. Lets dive deep into the start of this Magical journey of Milo:

"Wait, Where am I? Looks like a Forest." There he was in the middle of nowhere, but one thing was sure that the place was very lonely.

"Wait! what's that?" Milo saw a strange creature jumping behind the bushes. When he moved his eye to the bushes, he couldn't believe what he just saw.

"A rabbit, wait that isn't a rabbit what kind of animal is that?" He thought in his mind.

"Oh God! Don't come near me" He said in a loud voice as the strange rabbit jumped near him. Milo's eyes were flickering and his body was trembling due to fear.

"Don't be scared. I won't hurt you." That rabbit-like creature replied.

"You can talk?" Milo said, with a lot more questions popping in his head, but couldn't gather enough courage to ask any of them.

"Hippity Hoppity! How dare YOU ask ME a question?". The rabbit said as he came a little closer to Milo.

"Hey! Stay away from me, I'm very strong!" Milo said, with a strange combination of fear and bravery.

"Woo Hoo! Are you challenging me?. " The rabbit replied, while jumping around the bushes.

"Hmmm, Yea. But what is the challenge?" Milo asked politely, while being cautious of the moves of that rabbit, So he could handle any sudden attacks.

"Forget it, who are you? and why are you here?" The rabbit questioned Milo.

"Who ARE you? and Why are YOU here?" Milo said with yet another question to the rabbit.

"Okay Okay, Calm down little boy. Everyone knows me as Mangrove and this is where I live" Mangrove replied with answers to some of Milo's questions.

"My name is Milo and I am 14" Milo said while getting a little more comfortable to talk with Mangrove but still being cautious.

"Bazoonga! Milo, so are we friends?" Mangrove said, putting the first hand on their friendship.

"I don't know, you're weird and can you please tell me what is this place?" Milo said while silently rejecting the friend request.

But before Mangrove could say anything, some mystical vines grabbed Milo's feet and dragged him to the top of the tree. The vines weren't really hurting him but something had to be done.

It was Mangrove who knew what to do. He quickly jumped to climb the tree and as he was ready to save the young boy, he put his hand near the left of his belly.

And increasing Milo's utter astonishment, suddenly out of nowhere, lights were sparkling around Mangrove's belly as if they were a part of him. The sparks caught Milo's eye and to his surprise, the sparks were emanating from a:

'Pair of Scissors'

But were they just a 'Pair of Scissors'? They were shiny and were made of something Milo had no knowledge about. What were they made of? That was the thought that hit Milo's head as soon as he saw those scissors.

Mangrove grabbed the shiny pair of scissors from his belly and slit the vines into two, and in a flash, the vines disappeared.

Milo was all in shock due to this scene. He couldn't just believe what just took place in front of his human eye. He was confused between reality and fiction.

"Bazoonga! Slicing up these vines wasn't really hard" Mangrove said, while expressing that what he had done was no big task.

"But but, how did you do that? Those vines grabbed me like they had all the power, and they were also really thick and very far-flung" Milo said, while still being confused about the incident that had just occurred.

"Ooooo! You won't understand if i told you right now. But you have to trust me if you wanna survive the adversity of this Kingdom" Mangrove replied, as he made his way to the end of the gargantuan trees of this Magical forest.

"Here! Come with me before anything else tries to grab you" Mangrove added to his words, making him aware of the dangers.

"Okay! I'll come with you but at one cost" Milo said. He was very keen of who he wanted to trust. But in the cluster of these unwanted situations, he had no choice but to follow Mangrove.

Anything could've happened in the forest. It was Milo, who proved to be lucky enough to have Mangrove with him or else the vines would've clutched him to their territory.
