Mossy Lantern Hollow

Tobin

“A plum-sized dark beetle with a polished shell and small golden freckles across his back, about 4 cm long.”

He is an older beetle about the size of a plum, slow and sturdy, with a calm way of moving through the hollow. He likes things to stay orderly and predictable, and he can be very patient with younger creatures.

Mossy Lantern Hollow

The Singing Bell Tree

Deep in the hollow, the oldest tree begins to ring like a bell every time the wind passes through it, and each note wakes a different part of the forest—one ring makes flowers pop open, another scatters acorns, and another sends lantern bugs swirling into the air. The bell-tree is beautiful, but its sudden music is stirring the whole woods into a noisy, uncertain dance.
