PREVIEW:

It wasn’t too far to The Eastern Woods. You tether your horse to a nearby tree and take

a look around.

Before you is The Eastern Woods. It is surrounded by a wall of mist and swirling blue

smoke. It looks like the wall of smoke goes on forever in either direction. As you

approach, you know enough not to touch the smoke; it looks like dark magic. Instead,

you start to walk the length of the wall looking for a place to enter the woods.

You spot some symbols floating in the smoke. As you look more carefully, the symbols

knit together to form words. (SHARE: Slide #2) Maybe if you can figure out the meaning

of the words, you can find a way into The Eastern Woods.
