Introduction

Lucy's scream was loud enough to wake up Harry. Harry woke up to find out Brian and Lucy staring at him with their eyes wide open. He first felt his mouth, nothing was wrong with it. " What is it? " he asked in an irritated tone.

" What is that lizard doing on your bed? " Brian asked in a horrified way.

" What? Lizard? Where is it? ". Harry turned around to check if there was any lizard there and... SPRANG!!! He jumped out of the bed.

There it laid, dirty green in colour, a pretty long tail.

For a moment it kept Harry really wondering, " What is this lizard really doing here? ". He stared into its eyes and the lizard gave a wink as it hurried past the window, out in the open.

Sister Violet came rushing in and asked, "What is going on here? "

" Nothing, sister. It was just a tiny lizard" Brian replied.

The sister groaned and went down stairs.

" So you call that lizard tiny, do you? " asked Harry as he was still wondering why did the lizard wink.

" Shut up! It's already 8 am and you are late for breakfast. Go and have it quickly. We will wait for you in the classroom.

Oh no... I forgot to introduce you all to my characters. Let me introduce them.

Harry and Lucy, brother and sister, lost their mom and dad in a car accident and as they have no relatives, they were taken by a small orphanage which was at the outskirts of the Greenwood emerald City. The orphanage was taken care by a woman whom the kids lovingly called as Rose and her daughter " Sister Violet ". Along with Harry and Lucy, five other kids lived with them in the orphanage, Brian, Ava and George.

They had a special bonding with each other as they were together since a very small age. The school where they used to go was a small building situated on the gentle grass slope in front of the orphanage. The church was also situated on the slope. Shepherds were frequently seen taking their sheeps out for grazing. A road ran between the grassy slope and the orphanage, heading straight to the famous Hillwoods mansion to the east and the Greenwood emerald City to the West. Further north there was a small playground with the orphanage and then there was a dense forest which no human had ever crossed. The gentle slopes led further south to a road parallel to the road in front of the orphanage. These two roads were connected by a thin cycle track, a kucha road. On crossing the second road, one would reach another forest which, when crossed, would lead to the Fortsward town.

Now talking about the forest, north of the orphanage. It was unclear to the children as to why people feared to travel through the forest. They had heard many people trying to go through the forest but never returning. " Well they might have found a new city there and might be living there" the children said.

They have seen so little of this world, their world was within the limits of the orphanage, under the protection of their Sister and Rose.

How will they know what roams around beyond those boundaries?
