The Wilds

Across the lake from Mew Beginning is a forest that gets denser & harder to traverse the deeper within it you go. Not-cats are strongly discoursed from venturing into it & away from the safety of the village, but sometimes a particularly stubborn and adventurous cat will attempt to do so anyways. This usually ends with them quickly returning to the village, injured and a little shaken after encountering one of the many wild animals that call the forest home.
