Guardian of the Forest

Write a story about a mythic creature who’s appointed as the guardian of a forest and protects it against evil forces.

This prompt explores the age-old theme of good versus evil, but from a different perspective. What are the entities harming the forest, and how does our mythical protagonist defend it? This encourages you to explore environmental themes, the value of nature, and the responsibilities the creature holds as a guardian. This prompt also raises questions about courage, resilience, and the sacrifices the guardian is willing to make.
