Episode 1: The Windy Wood

Chapter 1: Autumn Excitement

Text:

Windy Bog went for a jog,

And came around a bend.

The smell of hickory hit her nose,

And made dreams of autumn blend.

The leaves were red and orange and brown

And yellow, her favorite shades,

And the Fairwood festival would soon be here.

The Great Songwriter she praised.

The leaves of Fairwood were like no other

Their size dwarfed normal breeds.

Just like the source from which they came

.Fairwood's great Mora trees.

The leaves could reach three feet in length

And their trees would often be,

Much too high for evenThe soaring eagles to see.

The trees were hollowed out for buildings

From houses to City Halls.

In the rural areas, the canopy

Was trimmed around 20 feet tall.

In the markets and the public grounds,

They trimmed it higher still

This quiet, forest, island home

Was for her, quite a thrill.

She sang and watched the magic From her voice's use

The swirling colors of the leavesHappily reproduce.

For the magic in the world she lived

Was the music and the sound

Mingling with the physical world

Creating effects to which they were bound.

A battle song wouldn't just rouse an army

It'd inspire the earth to fight.

Trees would strike out as living extensions

Of the song's pure might.

This was used not just for battle

But for everyday life.

The songs of the World of Harmadonia

Were full of heavenly light.

But not everyone appreciated

Magic in this way.

Windy's song was interrupted,

As was her simple play.

Her older brother Cruncher,

Warbled a garbled note.

The leaves turned gray and her flying song

Fluttered down to a float.

Cruncher: "Come on! It's time to get to work

You lazy little dreamer!

The only song you should be singing

Should run the big clothes steamer!"

Windy sighed and apologized,

Her chores she knew she'd shirked.

Windy: "But you know, Cruncher,"

She said with a smile,"

There's more to life than work.

I have a feeling that very soon

Our lives will change a lot."

She turned back to their humble home,

And off to do chores she walked.
