The clearing was surrounded by a circle of trees, their branches intertwining to create a canopy of leaves and berries. The moonlight filtered through the leaves, creating a soft, ethereal glow that illuminated the center of the clearing. In the middle of the clearing was a small stone pedestal, inscribed with strange symbols that glowed an eerie blue. And atop the pedestal was a slender, silver sword, its blade shining in the light of the moon.
