As soon as he was old enough to explore the forest, he showed a great interest in the strange creatures that lived there. At night, while the towns folk would gather around the safety of the great fire, Arthur would sit and listen to Atrix, the town's wise woman. She would tell him wondrous and frightening tales about distant lands and ancient magic. Arthur soon began to journey into the forest in search for adventures. He even started to carry with him some of the more unusual items he had found. For returning her egg, the mighty bird wind weaver gave him a special feather that would grant him help in a time of need. By putting an end to the great or rather tiny war between goblins and fairies, he was given an enchanted staff. High in an ancient tower he discovered the hand of time, which held the power to freeze anyone who touched it. And Atrix gave him this very journal I'm reading from after the most dangerous challenge of all, rescuing her cat from a tree.
