Details<\/h2>\n

In one word<\/h2>\n

Good and bad characters make a symbolical race to the King Tree – l’Arbre Roi -, tree of the good and the evil, located at the end of a large forest. The Gaya fairy drives their fate and regulates their ambulations. To achieve the goal of their search they cross the forest and meet a whole series of mythical characters, the geniuses of the forest. The ones are spirits of the good, the others are the evil and this duality gives its dynamics to the history.<\/p>\n

The deep roots shelter the geniuses of the evil. They continuously try to slow down our heroes. On the opposite, the upper branches are the habitat of the gentles. Eventually, above the branches are the crowns, unfortunately out of the range of the small world of the forest. All inhabitants, however dream to reach them.<\/p>\n

The moss is a network which covers the forest. It spies the traveller, attracts and captures his thoughts. It is at the same time bed and woman, moist, green and suave. It is a sea of intelligence. What it learns here is immediately transmitted over there. Thanks to the moss, true web of the forest, all is known everywhere.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the King Tree has got a mysterious disease, and it is followed by the other trees of the forest. MAud will try to save them. She will dance with Beth le Bouleau (the Beech). She and her boyfriend Vivian, will fight against Vanessa and Jack who have brought the mysterious disease to the Forest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
