The Village in the Hidden Valley
The village lay nestled in a valley at the foot of
a range of steep and rugged mountains that towered up towards the sky in
the east and north-east. To the north
of the village a stream flowed down from the mountains and formed a deep
lake to the west. The lake drained into a large swamp to
the south. In the far west and north-west
lay a dark, thick forest which was the home of many animals and birds.
To the north of the village and the stream, lush green grasslands
stretched out towards the ocean, which was just visible in the far distance.
A dry and lonely desert lay in the south-east. A narrow path
emerged from the forest north of the lake and ran along its
edge, crossing the river by means of a rickety wooden bridge. This was
the only way into the village.
