The Forest Redraws Itself
By @Dino1208
Juno Brask, a cartographer whose very talent condemns her, faces the impossible in the Unfixed Wold. Every map she meticulously crafts becomes obsolete within a week, the landscape shifting with a sinister will. Three villages have already vanished into its ever-changing depths. The Crown demands a completed survey by spring, a task made deadly by Juno's unique ability to perceive the land's current, fleeting truth. But the forest isn't merely chaotic; it's sentient. It redraws itself not randomly, but with a predatory intelligence, taking a keen interest in those who seek to define it. Juno's unsentimental resolve clashes with the creeping dread that the Wold isn't just erasing her maps, but actively hunting for its next cartographer.
