I should point out a few things. Us tree elves live up in the trees and mostly know the forest and the beach, as that’s where we get our food and supplies from. I heard rumors thousands of seasons ago when I was still a new sprig, that there was an Underground. No one had ever been there, but it pretty much sounded like a terrible place to be. I can now confirm, it’s worse than terrible. The Danger Forest is terrible. This place is like the worst nightmare you can think of, then add Krakens, Cave Spiders and no trees! Yes! I said Krakens! There’s an entire section of them down here! It’s very dark and spooky here, I’ve yet to run into another living thing that wasn’t interested in eating me. Lapis has spotted so many threats down here, I think she’s beginning to get the jitters!
I guess I should tell you how I got down here. I was just off The Beach, trying to catch a sea-squirrel and it pulled me under. That bugger took me for a wild ride, surfacing, then going under, then surfacing and going under…I guess it thought I’d let go! Then it went back down really deep, there was a whoosh of current and I got spit out in the Kraken zone down here! There’s nothing quite like almost being drowned by a sea-squirrel and then taking your first gasp of fresh air with a sixty foot tall Kraken staring at you like the dinner leaf just rang in the wind! Luckily, I’m tiny in comparison and I was able to get away….maybe I’ll tell you that story some day. Ut oh! I hear something! I gotta go, more later.
