The Enchanted Portrait

Aaron Endhill dwells in the suburbs outside Bialowieza Forest, a land of seeming placidity and common woodland. Even if it is the oldest forest in Poland. His new friend, a strange girl with green hair, tells him it is more. That to see it properly, he must unlock his imagination. When he does, he sees the Forest as it really is. And it knows that he can see it. His imagination has effects on the physical world, and forms as a sword of blue flame in his hand; his reflexes enhance; things that he imagines can have practical effect. This is the only thing that saves his life when the Emissaries of the Ancient Evil, masquerading normally as bushes and squirrels, break into his house to destroy him. The only way to save himself, is to quest deep into the Forest, to the Iron Mist and the Frozen Lands, where he must unlock the Enchanted Portrait that alone can destroy the Ancient Evil.
