There is a small town in the middle of the woods. Creatures reside in those woods. And in the town? As well. Misplaced, stranded or brought willingly, they are all far from home. They managed. Adapted. Survived. Creatures of legend and folklore, living alongside humans. What could go wrong? We will see, when an unexpected death shakes the town, new, slavic forest guide arrives, and the woods stir with ancient things. I'm starting this story. Altho english is not my mothertongue, I believe it will be a good story. I'm open to suggestions and corrections, and would appreciate both. I'll upload every Sunday. Please enjoy. What to expect: a lot of folklore beyings, mainly from Europe, but not all Mysteries to gnaw on. A lot of different characters some quirkier than other. I tagged some content warnings, but it shouldn't be too severe. Mainly bit glorified alcohol consumption. In terms of AI, I use it for grammar only, i/y and spelling mistakes, nothing more, nothing less.
