The Witch's Hut
You stumble towards a soft patch on the forest floor, lined with clover and sheltered under the broad leaves of a small sapling. You lean back against the little tree, close your eyes, and begin to dream, rather vividly, that you are wandering farther into the forest, following the lights that dance gently in the air around you, always just a bit out of reach...
When you wake, it takes you a moment to get your bearings. Your first reaction is fear - because you don't know how you got here or how much time has passed. Your heartbeat thuds in your chest, and you take a couple of deep breaths to calm yourself, all drowsiness forgotten.
You're looking at a small hut brimming with golden lantern light. Its door has been left open, and inside you can make out a few curious items propped against the wall. The yard is messy with weeds, and the glowing mushrooms here grow taller than the roof of the house.
The path you were following before leads right up to the stoop of the hut. Another branch of it cuts around the corner of the place towards the back. In the air about your head, there are glimmering lights dancing gently on the breeze. They look familiar...
You start to catch your breath and feel more curious now than afraid. Surely if the magic here had wanted to harm you, it would not have delivered you gently to the door, but dragged you unwillingly inside? You've been left to explore of your own accord. That must count for something.
💙 Follow the path behind the hut.
💛 Investigate the inside of the hut.
