Lexophile in motion - Deep within the enchanted forest(Fantasy)A quest for the fountain of youth by Dean Masciarelli

We all started searching for the enchanted forest
by using the magical compass and a map
and many other tools that were  given to us
by the chief of a local tribe that lived deep within the forest

And everything that they gave to us could help us
in our pursuit of finding the fountain of youth

This would not be an ordinary task
because many people before us
who have attempted to find the enchanted forest
have died in there quest to find the fountain of youth

And we all knew this before we even started our trip
that there would be many obstacles that we would have to get past

But at least we had a guide to lead us
to the two sided cave that was deep in the forest

It took us six days to get through the thick brush
but there were many of us
who were stopped in our tracks
that had to be left behind
because they were to sick to follow us

But on the seventh day we were
finally able to find the two sided cave
and one by one we tied ropes around our waist
so that no one would be left behind
so that we could all get to the other side

One by one we all started entering the two sided cave
not knowing what kind of obstacles were ahead of us

But some how we were all able to reach the other side
so that we could finally see the enchanted forest with our own eyes

The local villagers were also there to greet us as they all welcomed us to paradise
and they fed each and everyone one us with a feast and after we were done eating
we all drank from a sacred cup and then we all needed to catch up on some  rest

When we all woke up the following morning we ate some breakfast

And then we were all taken down to the stream and one by one
we could all see our reflection in the stream and to our amazement
each and every one of us were  young again

Because the drink that we drank from the sacred cup the night before
came from the fountain of youth deep from within the enchanted forest
