Day 1: The Wolf. I like the idea of the wolf being a shape-shifting warrior instead of the typical fairytale Little Red Riding Hood wolf. He was super fun!
Day 2: The Lost Children Two Children looking through a doorway that may lead them home, or lead them further into the woods. They prepare themselves for an adventure they will never forget.
Day 3: Ogre We find ourselves finding a lost baby ogre who needs to find his way home. Our wandering children are wary of the large adult sized infant, but they are happy to help him find his way back to his worried ogre parents!
Day 4: Witch We find our way to a witch's cottage who loves to work with her potions and spells, even using her strange magic to cook them up a bite to eat. Don't worry she doesn't have a sweet tooth for children.
Day 5: Bugbear This furry cousin of the goblins and hobgoblins is no joke. Easily retorting to violence as the solution to their problems, these beast is no one you want to encounter on your journey.
Day 6: Jack of Spades Clever in his wit and technique, the Jack of Spades is an assassin you would absolutely love to have in your hand!
Day 6: The Talking River Sweet and kind to lost travelers, the voice of the river will surely aid you in your way into the right direction.
Day 8: The Old Sultan A former adventurer himself, he would give the shirt off his back for those in need and share food from his table. He absolutely loves telling stories of his past adventures with the little ones as they enjoy a hot meal.
Day 9: The Magic Bird Hailing from the icy peaks of the east, the magical owl oversees the forests that surround her mountains.
Day 10: The Huntsman Tirelessly on the hunt for the Wolf, the huntsman searches the ashen forests with steely eyes of determination.
