A Collector’s Desire

There is a weeping creature roaming the woodlands. Her last desire to return to her loved ones, granting her cold muscles strength.

A great famine had ravished the land and left its citizens without any reserves, cleaving the last resolve out of their worked-out bones. A dazzled woman declared herself to retrieve what was left of the woodlands flora and thus set out in quest of quenching her desire for a bite of whatever they had to offer.

Not anticipating the strangely thickened air, she soon had to rest at a most formidable stump which would be the setting of a miraculous scene.

Not only should she take on some otherworldly form but also carry a festering disease, dooming what was left of a weakened people.

It’s aftermath should be legendary. Not once in all history emerged a pestilence worse than that caused by the collector.

It marks the fifth narrative of the Woodland Legends.
