Chapter 41: The Truth of the Forest King

A day after their peaceful exploration of the Elven Forest, the group had gathered once more in preparation for their next journey. Arthur stood with Casia, Garudax, Celina, and Trayona as they readied themselves to depart. Their destination was a place shrouded in mystery and fear—the Forest of Fodger, the domain of the King of the Forest, the very man who had stolen the Veil of Mother Earth long ago.

Trayona's father, the village chief, would be accompanying Arthur on this leg of the journey. His knowledge of the past, and his connection to Fodger, would be crucial in uncovering the truth behind the veil's theft.

"Are you ready?" Trayona's father asked, his expression grim but resolute.

Arthur nodded, feeling the weight of the task ahead. "As ready as I'll ever be."
