Village Hidden In The Leaves の小説・ストーリー

My breath hitched when I turned around and saw the beauty in front of me. Nestled far within the heart of the dense woods, there was a secluded village. It exuded an air of enchantment and mystery. Surrounded by towering trees, their foliage forming a natural curtain against the outside world, the village appears to exist in its own cocoon of tranquility. Narrow dirt pathways wind through the undergrowth, connecting the modest wooden houses, each one seemingly organically integrated into the landscape.

From their line of sight, both could see that behind the wall of foliage hid a small village of sorts. This hidden village was much smaller in size when compared to villages such as Elderwood Village and Thousand Wood Village. It looks similar to that small village that Kirou had teleported to get to the mountainous region where the lizardman tribe lived. The clones observed the archer heading to what looks like the village head's house before turning to give each other a knowing look. Giving each other a nod, one of the clones dispelled to relay the information back to Kirou while the other kept a silent watch over the hidden village from its hidden location amongst the treetops. For now, i

“The alpha goes to the old block for interrogation. Lock the witch and the broken one in the lower roots.” They shove me forward, forcing us down separate paths. I look over my shoulder, squinting through the sweat and blood to see Anya staring back at me. I give her a firm nod—a silent promise that I will get us out of here. She nods back, trusting me and moves along as they push her forward. As they march me deeper into the heart of this hidden place, I am shocked by how many of them there are. It’s a whole village. Old buildings with straw roofs. Wounded teenagers rest on mats of moss, their limbs wrapped in stained bandages. Elderly survivors hunch over small fires, their hands trembling

My breath caught as houses slowly emerged from thin air alongside lantern lights, narrow pathways, people moving around carrying baskets and talking amongst themselves as if the village had always been there. It was alive. An entire hidden world standing right in front of us. For a second I genuinely could not believe what I was seeing. “They hide themselves from outsiders for safety,” Celeste explained quietly before stepping forward. But before she could take another step, a voice suddenly rang through the village. “Stop right there if you want to stay alive.” The female voice was low and sharp enough to send chills straight down my spine. I looked around instinctively, my pulse kicking ha

The warmth of the sun was growing now, its rays more insistent, cutting through the canopy above like fingers of light. We made our way through the last of the trees until, finally, we stepped out into the open—and only then did we realize we had reached higher ground. Below us, tucked into a shallow dip in the landscape, was a small village. It wasn’t prominent, but it was just visible enough if one looked closely. Encircled by a tall wooden palisade, it blended cleverly with the treetops, as if nature itself was conspiring to keep it hidden. “They built it well,” said Merlin, lifting a hand to shield her eyes from the sunlight as she scanned the view. “Do you think that’s the Artonac commu

She asks, referring to our lives five years ago "No hidden secrets" THE END.

The air crackled with an otherworldly energy, and the foliage seemed to whisper secrets long forgotten. Stepping through the veil, Amelia and her companions found themselves in a realm unlike any they had ever imagined. The Hidden Grove was a place where light and darkness coexisted, their harmony creating a delicate balance. In the heart of the grove stood an ancient tree, its branches reaching toward the heavens, its roots delving deep into the earth. Resting at the base of the tree was the key, a shimmering orb of pure energy. Amelia approached the key, her breath catching at its beauty. She could sense its immense power, its potential to bring about change. But she also knew the risks it

Some chased after hens, while others crouched beside their fathers, scattering grain or stacking bundles of wood. Smoke curled lazily from cracked chimneys. The scent of burning straw mingled with the sweetness of cooking herbs. The village was small—almost like a secret community tucked away from the world. Very few in Decreash even knew it existed. Hidden deep in the outskirts of town, it lay buried beneath layers of trees and time, forgotten by nobles and untouched by war. It was a place where life moved quietly, where the people seemed to live outside the reach of the crown or the chaos beyond the forest.

Nina stopped first. "Oh my God." Even I couldn't speak. Ruins. An entire village hidden inside the forest. Most of the buildings had collapsed years ago. Vines covered everything. Trees grew through walls. Nature had swallowed almost the entire place. But it was still there. Silver Hollow. I slowly turned in a circle. Something felt familiar, and that terrified me because I knew I'd never been here before. Or at least I thought I hadn't. "Betty?" I looked toward Damon.
