When the forest king and I returned to the gate, Eden sat on the tree stump, picking a small wooden guitar. I didn’t know he could play! He looked up to me, “Oh, Micah. Welcome back. How was your time?” He nodded his head to the forest king in thanks for being my guide. The forest king turned into leaves and disappeared. Eden searched my face while he sat on the tree stump but could tell I was sad.
