10: The green
Turn left onto the grassy path between the two grazing meadows.Look out for the life teeming around you, in the grasses, in the soil, in the sky above your head. You’re now furthest from home, normal life a long, long way away. Check for a Red Kite soaring above, or look down for the clusters of small, yellow flowers sitting atop little woolly cushions. These are Kidney Vetch. Now let’s build our story.
What is the final test?
To heal the forest
To rescue a beast
To help someone or something be brave
To find a way after being lost
To gather something special
Invent something else
Try to imagine how your character would feel at this moment, when everything could be lost, when things are hard, and there’s a chance things won’t go well. Describe this moment, and think about what you would do.
