The forest of Mystery

The Forest Mystery
In a far off land there is a forest but not just any forest, it’s the magical forest of mystery where there lives majestical creatures and mysterious things that hide in the shadows. The forest is beautiful at night because of the glowing blue stream and the fireflies that would flutter around. There were reindeer that would gracefully glide through the forest and drink the icy water. Fairies would fly and leave a magnificent trail of sparks. In the forest mystery there lives a beautiful white barn owl they call her Silk because her feathers look like silk. She has talons as grand as gold that are the colour of honey and her feet are the colour of a chocolate drop. She would sing the most beautiful songs. Her singing was so good that all the animals would listen to her sing. Some say that she has the voice of an angel.One day she was flying through the forest. Whoosh!! The sky was dark and the forest was darker. Silk herd all the animals weeping in despair. She flew down.
“What's wrong.” Said Silk. Silk looked and all the animals dark weary eyes. One reindeer stepped out.
“Well an evil witch has cast a wicked spell upon the forest how do we stop her?” Says Silk.
”What if we collect the three crystals that were once used by the gods and put them together? We will be more powerful than the witch! But who will go with me? I can’t go alone.”
“Who said you were going alone.” Said a tall wizard. “I’m coming to.”
“Me three.” Said a small voice. Silk moved her head in a flash left and right.
“Down here!” Said the small high voice.
Silk looked down. There flying in a sparkly blue dress was a fairy with brown hair up in a bun and blue wings like the ocean.
“Hi my name is Sea and i'm an…” Said ocean fairy but was interrupted by the wizard. “Remarkable I haven't seen one in years! They’re extremely rare. What brings you out of the ocean?
“Thank you.” Said the fairy. “I'm out of the ocean because us water fairies are allies with the nature fairies. They asked us to help them. What are you doing here?” Said the fairy. All the animals turned to the wizard.
“Well I am simply just here to help.” Said the wizard trying to look cool. ‘Really tell me the real reason your here Said the fairy not looking convinced ’ ok ok I. And thats all ive done so far.

My 24 hour digital footprint

Today I have not learnt anything new
I enjoyed copying and pasting .
I found it hard to screen shot because if I tried to do one side of a photo I could not do the other side of the photo.
My 24 hour digital footprint map shows all the history I have done in the last 24 hours.
