Past a small, unknown doorway of a vast island, a dark curvy passage lead down to a large forest full of plants. Lining the bark of numerous trees was moss as soft as feathers, and weeds springing out from cracks in the ground. Behind the cluster of bushes, which looked like they haven't been trimmed in years, there was an oak tree. Towering over anyone passing, the tree seemed as if it were thousands of feet tall.
