The Tavern On The Water
Liliana grew up listening to her grandmother’s story tales of faeries, witches, demons and all that is truly believed to not exist in this world.
Once such story she remembers was that of the mysterious tavern on the water that appears every hundred years or so, right in the depths of the forbidden forest.
“Deep in the forest where no one dares to venture, there is a lake filled with creatures that should not be trifled with. The most dangerous of them all were merpeople who were known to entrance humans with their melodic voices that sounded like honey to the ears of the listener.
Right on the edge of the lake, appeared the tavern. Made of rustic wood and bricks, whenever it appeared it stayed for a single night and then just as fast as it had appeared it was gone the next morning.
The vicious creatures of the forest had a name for this event every century.
