"Run! It's coming!" shouted my father as he disappeared from my view after he pushed me in the opposite direction of where he was running right now.

We had entered the forbidden forest where there were creatures beyond our imagination. My father was one of the greatest huntsman that ever lived and he trained me hard to follow in his footsteps.
I was running as fast as my sixteen-year-old foot could carry me. My dad would catch up, I know he would...I managed to escape and waited for my father but he never came out of the forest. Hours turned into days and turned into a week, I had to leave. If I did not then I would die right here and if I returned to the forest I would not survive alone. I was too young to fight the monsters in the forest although I wanted to go back and look for my father. I sat and had a good cry before I got up and left for home, where my dad and I lived, my mother had packed up and left when I was a baby because she could not put up with my father's lifestyle.

Four years later...
I was a man now, that day my father never returned, I was left alone in this world to fend for myself but I have grown stronger and now was time to return to the forbidding forest to search for my father, there was a chance that he was still alive.
At least I hope he was...as I put my bag over my shoulder and walked out of the house heading to my fate...
One thing that was learned from the villagers is that when you enter the forest, you have to prepare your mind that you will never return or maybe...just maybe you will be lucky...to return to the real world.
I saddle my motorcycle and give one look at the house knowing that I might never return...
