86 Where in the Forest?

"Y'all wanna know something cool?" asked Hakim, "There is typically no phone service in the forests".

"Obviously," said Leira, "You think we don't get out to know that"?

Hakim became defensive of his statement, explaining that he meant the game. Leira kept teasing him for his oblivious remarks. Time passed by to the sounds of youths bickering and teasing. What was a long walk felt like minutes.

They stood in the middle of the forest, looking around for a marker of some sort. Nothing stood out despite practically standing on their destination within the dense forest.

Looking closer at their surrounding, Hakim spotted an odd tree with a large trunk surrounded by thick vegetation. After he struck the trunk with a fire spell, it opened up to a second part of the forest.

"Oh, that's crafty," said Leira as the trunk closed itself in mere seconds.

Hakim stated, "Yup, if we move fast enough, we can fit two in there. It'll likely completely seal itself away once we go in".
