Savory
Roots were protruding from the mountains, leading back into a thick forest of giant trees, where Vanessa first started her journey. She swore the forest was the pain in her butt whereas the theme was the migraine throbbing at her temple.
This forest was more like a jungle, filled with twists and turns to no end. Monsters blended in whereas many plants were monsters themselves. A puppy ran by, catching Vanessa's attention. It just wanted a sniff of a bush.
A vine wrapped its paw, flinging it into the air as the puppy cried before another mouth-like plant bit down, trapping the pooch in its sticky goo which oozed from its green teeth. That goo acted as acid, sizzling the poochy's skin slowly for it to flinch in every manner, begging for help.
Vanessa gripped her katana, wishing she knew where exactly to strike with a flame disc to save it. But the entire area was covered in random plants. And striking these plants could easily anger them into trapping her.
