I ran as fast as my legs could take me into the forest. I got lost very quickly. I tried to trace my steps but that didn’t work.

I searched for any roads but there were no roads. So I found shelter in a cave and waited till it was morning. I got bored so I started to explore my cave. It was gold light shining my way as I went deeper. That’s when I saw it. The ancient kingdom that people talked about. I tugged at it.

The only sound I could hear was the sound of a viola.
