Thorn and Rose
Requirements
Description
In a land far to the west lies a forest unlike any other. It is dark, twisted, and full of misery. For this wood has been cursed by a vengeful Witch and her foul spells. What was once green and lush is now cruel with thorns and pricks, shadowy figures, and menacing glowing eyes. Yet deep among the thorns grows a special kind of rose, the Blood Rose, which is said to cure all ills. With your loved one plagued by an unknown sickness, you must take heart, and venture forth into this cursed wood, searching for your love’s only salvation.
