The murky clouds came rolling in
casting an ominous spell within.
A ferocious wind swept through the forest
causing trees to become withered and broken.

A vociferous mob of flying baboons shrouded the area
scaring away the pigeons with their devilish eyes.
The enchanted woods went silent
and all were lined up waiting for their master.

A whirlwind of green smoke spouted from the ground
as ravens were summoned to spectate the calamity.
A figure with granny smith skin emerged,
Wicked.
