A Story AboutPenny

Go to the forest. Maybe you’ll find some familiar faces…

Chapter One

Someone has been expecting you.

The fields stretch on for miles, with nothing else in sight. Then a letter, signed by someone who will only call themself the Secretary.

It points Penny toward the forest, and toward faces she might know. Explore, grow stronger, and learn who has been waiting in the trees — and what they want with her.

Hello Penny, let me introduce myself. You can refer to me as the Secretary.

Go to the forest — maybe you’ll find some familiar faces…
