Although it may look ominous, the spirit of Hollowood is a gentle, lofty thing, prancing on high steps and echoing with distant songs. It’s core appears completely hollow, with only a shell of bark and moss to cover its essence.

Old stories speak of a similar spirit here, but it looked like a wolf, with a jagged mossy crest and rib-like branches. A large hare, too, and a bear. Is this the same spirit, shifting its guise as required, or have there been multiple, following a similar theme?

I think it’s the same one, growing and changing as the forest does. I wonder what it will change into next? Maybe a bird? Or a wildcat?
