The fellow didn't make it much easier - the description was very vague. All stories are creative - Osprey wanted to tell him, but held back, because not all people were so deep in the story-making processes as her. Uncreative stories were even harder to make - and even that demanded at least a bit of creativity.
Surroundings... her expression change to a thoughful one, as she let her gaze wander around the dark forest. It was a pity that she couldn't see more than the darkness and moonlight revealed - surely the place must have been beautiful during the daytime. On the other hand - maybe this was just the point. Darkness. Travellers. Light.
Immediately she thought of the story she had made together with Ty and somehow the ending of it clicked together with this one. "Once upon a time... there was a kingdom located right here, where we stand. It was an old one, the wolves here had lived here for hundreds of years - they were strong, noble, smart, but very proud. In their eyes no one was a match for them. They were the best and they made sure that everyone knew it.
Before I proceed, you have to know that witches are neither good or bad. They are witches - good, when they desire so, sneaky, when they need it, and righteous, even though the way they achieve is not always... entirely acceptable. So - there was a witch of the older kind living nearby. She had her own lands - borders were respected by all of the creatures that live nearby, the kingdom wolves included.
However over the time they grew too proud and too daring and they decided to banish the witch from her home and take her land as theirs. Therefore - one morning all of them went over to the witch's den and called her out. Old and cranky she came out and eyed the wolves in an unfriendly manner. She listened to their demands and thought for a very long time. Then she said: "You can't make me leave - don't even dare to try that. Yet, if you prove to be as clever and great as you say, then I will give you these lands as a gift. If not - I will take your kingdom.
The wolves thought for a bit and then accepted her rules - for how could an old hag beat them? The witch on the other hand smiled and sealed the deal. "There will be three challenges."," here Osprey stopped and looked at her companion. "Can you guess, what they were?" she asked, inviting him to join the process of story-making.
