Shikkotsu Forest Novels & Stories

"They're in the forest right now. They said that it was the best place to talk to you." Shiro looked into the forest again. Those dark trunks held thousands of years of secrets in them, only to be told to the ones they thought worthy. Shiro had spent many years meditating near them in hopes that they would share at least some of their secrets. They had told him quite a lot over the years due to his discipline. One thing he had learned from them was when to see a trap. "Your Alpha's in there," Shiro said. "Isn't he?"

“The tree stands as a human being, in other words, it explains the inner self of a person, the part which wants to remain hidden. You must have noticed the strong branches and the frail barks in the body. It means the strong branches are our outer self, that we use in our every day to day lives, to show others. But the barks, they are frail and rotting away, because of all the effort it goes through to hold the branches ahead. We never know, but the fake self that we display to the outside world, often ruins who we are in the inside, so that’s what this means. And the leaves? They just play the part to make it look more triggering.” I nod and turn pages after page. Half the book is taken ov

The few times that Enzir traveled outside the fortress also followed a strict timeline, making it impossible to see anything else. They soon arrived at a clearing and Lankko was quick to point the mountain range in the distance. A series of peaks formed a natural barrier between Alanca and Dagos. They were deep green as verdant forests covered their slopes. The trees thinned the farther to the top as the soil lost nutrients and were more exposed to cold wind and weather.

She looked very worried and asked nervously, “Philip, are you hurt?” Philip shook his head, landed on the branch of the giant tree, and said with a smile, “I’m fine. Let’s go.” Fennel and the others nodded and continued to move forward along a route shown on the map. This place was a dense forest formed by towering giant trees. They were 100 meters tall, so tall that no one could see the top. A human jumping through these giant trees looked just like a squirrel. Was this what a corner of the other shore looked like?

Su Xiaomei cried. Everyone sped into the deeper parts of the forest with as much speed as possible with their movement techniques. The verdant canopies of the tall and strong oaks of the forest provided just the cover they needed, shielding them from the observations of the Hit Squads in the sky. In the end, the Hit Squads could only carpet-bomb the area, hoping vainly that this would yield results.

Everyone was highly strung with their eyes wide open. Afte a while, Zhang Fan and other disciples returned. "Let's go." Zhang Fan's hunch became even more intense: Danger was behind them, and it was approaching. It was a forest where evergreen plants grew. It was deep and hardly frequented by people. Birds' chirping made the mountain seem even quieter. Tall trees were covered in leaves which sprang like umbrellas over 20 meters above their heads. The leaves almost block everything, except for a few streaks of sunshine that flowed through the gaps between the leaves.

He prayed silently, nothing would happen. Randu pulled her leg, seeking attention. Perhaps she thought she is still not allowed to speak, indeed Burdak had not told her that they had passed through the moss forest. They entered an area called Pine-five. Why is it called like that..because along this area can only live as many as five pine trees? It can't be less and it can't be more. Each tree is hundreds of meters away from one another. Burdak raised Randu's hand to help him up. He tried to take his eyes off the fog.

Around us, the forest pulsed with late-spring energy - branches heavy with life, the air thick with the scents of pine, moss, and something ancient and mineral on the breeze. The hot spring wasn’t far. We’d chosen it because it sat in the natural dip between Ashmoon and Nightshade land - technically still within our territory, but close enough for a meeting that would go unnoticed by curious eyes. I adjusted the leather strap of my cloak. “Do you think they’ll hold their line?”

His confidence was a stark contrast to Elena’s anxiety, and his easy demeanor provided a much-needed counterbalance to the group’s tension. As they delved deeper into the forest, the trees grew thicker and the light dimmer. Hoia Baciu was known for its eerie atmosphere, and it lived up to its reputation. The forest floor was carpeted with a thick layer of moss that muffled their footsteps, and the gnarled branches above seemed to twist and reach out like skeletal fingers. A chill permeated the air, sending shivers down their spines despite the physical exertion of their trek.

Finishing their long and tiring journey towards their new home, Suzan, Sophia and Zack reached the "Forest of Cessation!!!!". A forest where the trees were mangled, and jagged rocks were jutting out of the ground, it was dark even during the day, and very calm, they couldn't even hear birds chirping. Something seemed a bit off and there were no animals seen so far. "Finally we're here" Suzan exhaled. "This forest... it's so deep..not to mention eerie too" Sophia whimpered " just what exactly is this place.... it doesn't seem like our usual wilderness and I haven't seen any animals so far".
