"We're almost out of the Shine Forest." Altas informs you. "However, we'll make a stop to see the Fire Maple, created with the dual efforts of Hemarko and Jagura." "Hemarko and Jagura?" you ask quizzically. "The god of fire and the goddess of the earth." Atlas informs you. Just then, a blue feline creature runs out into the path in front of you.
"Umm... What's that?" you ask Atlas, staring at the blue cat as it licks itself
clean."Hunter Cat." Atlas says. The cat wraps itself around your legs before trotting back into the forest growth. "Now, for the Fire Maple..." Atlas says. "Right there." He gestures to a large tree to the side of the path. It is tall and old, with star-like leaves with firey patterns on them. The reds, oranges, and yellows are quite enchanting, and you reach out to pluck a leaf. As your fingers light upon the maple, the leaf grows hot and smoke unfurls from it. You withdraw your hand quickly. "They don't call it the Fire Maple just because it has fire-colored leaves." Altas grins. "Com'on."
