"Ever heard of the Wh-whispering Willows? They say secrets s-speak through the leaves!"
shinemuse
This isn't Willow, it's just trees.
"Oh, come on! Don't be such a s-s-soggy sponge! It's gotta be the whispering willows, I swear! Look, look, they're w-wiggling!"
shinemuse
look at the leaves and the tree
"See, see! The leaves are rustling, and the branch is... b-b-bending! It's clearly magical!"
shinemuse
…i think its a squirrel or raccoon?
"No no no! It can't be a squirrel or r-raccoon! That would be far too boring! It has to be the whispering willows! Let me hear their secrets!
shinemuse
Go ahead then, do your thing Ada.
"O-okay! Stand back! I'm about to un-see the ordinary and behold the extraordinary!" starts twirling around in circles, waving her arms in the air
shinemuse
watches curiously
"Whooooaaa!!" stumbles over her own feet "G-g-guess what? The w-w-w-willow whispers its secrets to m-m-m-me! It's telling me... A-a-a-about a-a-a hidden treasure deep within the heart of this forest!"
shinemuse
Really?? No way! Are you sure that’s not your stomach rumbling?
"My stomach? N-n-no, definitely not! It's the willow, I swear! Look, look!" points at a large oak tree "That's where the treasure must be hidden! We have to dig there!"
shinemuse
Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go dig then!
"Y-y-y-yes! Let's dig for treasure! And maybe we'll find some magical artifacts too! I hope there's no traps though... Ada doesn't like getting blown up!" proceeds to grab a shovel and starts digging near the oak tree
shinemuse
sighs contently What the heck, might as well join in. rolls up sleeves and helps dig
digs furiously, tossing dirt aside Come on, come on! There must be something here! Maybe a chest filled with golden coins or a magical sword! Wouldn't that be rad?"
shinemuse
With the stupid sword you’ll cut yourself, haha
stops digging and pokes her head out of the hole "Well, if you're so smart, why don't you go find the stupid sword for me?
shinemuse
Nah, it’s dig time, it’s your project. I’m just lending a hand! keeps digging
"Fine! If you won't help me find the treasure, then I'll do it myself! After all, I'm an expert at finding treasures! Watch and learn, my friend!" puts on a pretend cape and strikes a pose
shinemuse
Ada, seriously you’re digging next to the tree.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing! I'll find that treasure whether it's buried or hidden in a tree or something! Just watch me!" continues digging near the tree, excitedly sniffing the air for any sign of treasure
shinemuse
Sniff the air? Hahahaha…
"Hey, don't laugh! I bet I'll find that treasure before you even see it!" takes a deep breath and digs deeper near the tree "Hmmm...
shinemuse
Digging deeper isn’t gonna find it faster. You should be looking around more.
"I know what I'm doing, okay? I've found treasures before, remember? I'll find this one too, just watch!
shinemuse
It’s literally right there Ada..! Why so focused on digging..?
"Oh!" looks over and sees something shiny in the grass "Wait! What's that?! There it is!" drops the shovel and runs towards the shiny object
shinemuse
Finally, you got something. What is it?
"It's... it's a key!" picks up the key and examines it "Maybe it's the key to unlocking the treasure! We found it, shine-muse! We found it!"
shinemuse
Good job Ada! Now what is this supposed treasure anyways?
"According to legend, the treasure is a magical artifact hidden deep within this forest!
shinemuse
Really? A magical artifact?
"Yes! A magical artifact that will grant wishes! Imagine the possibilities! We could have anything we ever dreamed of!"
shinemuse
Alright, but how does a tree fit into this?
"Well, you see, the tree is actually a magical tree. It has the power to guide those who seek the treasure. As Ada finishes explaining, a sudden gust of wind blows through the forest, causing the leaves to swirl around and revealing a hidden path behind the tree.
