The Resting Place Don't let the name decive you, because this may be the most important thread here. Take a seat 'neath the ancient oak, and watch the surroundings as you take a rest from the Training Grounds. Rest your weary mind on the soft grass of the hill. Bask in the warm sunlight...let it engulf you...close your eyes for a tiny second...rest..OR NOT. Many things may happen here...be warned....You will be tested...your brain will be drained in this wonderful setting. But why?..glad you asked.Well, young one. Are you wondering why this thread is so important? In this thread, you will practice the art of description. Here, I or one of the Mods will give a simple sentence or two, and you have to make it into something with detail. We will then go around giving pointers or telling of your excellent work. Good luck and have fun.

Alrighty then...here is your very first challenge!
1) A rather strange looking creature, resembling a cat leaps out of nowhere...startling your horse. You manage to hold on, and you try to comfort him.

Alrighty...here's my version!
Justin slouched in the saddle of his horse, Bastion, as he traveled through the dense, humid jungle. His brown locks were drenched with sweat, and clung to his forhead. "We're almost there...I hope." he panted to his equine companion. Bastion snorted in reply, his breathing also heavy. Bastion was in no better condition than he. His black mane also clung to his sweat drenched coat, his steps forced, and choppy. The poor creature rolled his gentle amber eyes in disgust and fear of the forest.
Justin looked about with weary emerald eyes...feeling a strange presence near him. Bastion snorted unhappily, his black tail flicking back and forth, swatting at the gnats that surrounded them. Everything felt sticky, and everything, every article of clothing clung to his body. His once white tunic was cream with sweat and dirt, his brown deerskin vest long gone. His dark brown pants were tucked into his black boots. His boots were relatively short...reaching halfway up his legs.
An uneasy feeling shook him again, and he straightened, hard as it may be, in his saddle. He frowned, his dirtstained face weary. He had become rather tan from traveling so much, and his baby fat was gone.
Heavy footsteps, loud breathing. Justin whirled around, frantically looking everywhere. A dark brown paw emerged from his right. It was massive, but didn't look like a bear's paw. Suddenly the creature leapt from it's haven and stood in front of Bastion for a split second and was off. The 'monster' looked nothing from this earth. It looked like an overgrown cat. It had sad blue eyes, and it's fur was long, tangled, and matted. No doubt from the humid condition. Why it's pelt was so thick remained a mystery to Justin. It was like a large sloth that resembled a cat. It hat catlike ears, with black tufts of fur protruding at each tip. It had long fangs that protruded from it's maw. The whole creature was dark brown save the tip of it's tail...it was white. Now, it's tail was extremely thick, like a kangaroo's. Aye, it was a rare sight.
It's split second appearance was enough to scare Bastion out of his mind. Justin only had a few seconds to ponder about this creature, and felt the world rush beneath him. Bastion had reared, and was preparing to charge into who knew where. They both panicked. Justin's green eyes flashed with realization, that if HE panicked, Bastion would ceartainly would. He calmed himself down, managing to hang on to the horses riegns. He repeatedly whispered, "It's okay.." soothingly into his ears. Soon enough Bastion was calm, and returned to his tired, yet unhappy state. Justin wanted to scream. What was he thinking to go into the densest jungle in all of Enrhio?!

>< Feel free to leave me comments/ suggestions on how to improve what I wrote.
Just in case a person decides to do this challenge, I have a second sentence for you.
2) The sun was setting. You walk back to camp, but find that everyone is gone. You panick and run into the forest. Now you have to survive in it.
