Under The Bush

Under the bush, if you look closely, you will find a jay's feather, a smooth stone, and a gold ring. You take the items and run off into the forest where you found them, until you stop at an oak tree. It was very old, and you heard from an old legend that you could summon a forest creature with these items. You've been hunting these items down for a year, hoping you'd get your chance at summoning one. The rest of your friends have amazing stories about these summonings, but never got a forest creature to stay for long. They always wander off into the forest, as if they're afraid of something.

You stare at your feet for a while, making up your mind. It was only one chance you got, unless you got the items again. It takes some time trying to get the correct items since the smooth stone had to be white, the jay's feather had to belong to a young jay, and the ring had to be of pure gold.

You lifted your head, looking at the bright purple and pink flowers that grew at the base of the old oak, which loomed over you like a giant. Looking up, you saw that the leaves were tinged with gold, gold and mottled green. These leaves didn't belong to any old oak, these leaves belonged to an enchanted oak. They never fell, no matter the season, and strangely, no bird dared perch on its branches.

In the middle of the oak was a hollow high enough for you to extend your hand and put the drop the items inside. Nobody knew where the items disappeared, and you hesitated before dropping your items inside. To some, no creature appeared. To some, a forest creature appeared for just a minute. But it was rare to find a forest creature that would follow you home. Your head was spinning now, you didn't know where was left or right.

You woke up on the ground, and what did you see? Two pairs of eyes staring at you.
