Grove of Bones

Nothing comes from nothing. The grove gives, but it also takes away.

There is a village, isolated and buried deep within the foothills of the mountain's shadow. A place where there is no hunger or sickness. But such bounty comes at a cost. A cost that everyone knows, but fears to speak aloud.
