A bit of the change from my usual works, in order to flesh out a bit this universe ^_^

From the wiki ( [link] ) :

The Chidokai forest is a massive, thick rain-forest that spreads from the east of Negav to the southern edge of frost peak. It's also called "forest of the many hiding places" because the tall trees that grow here are narrow, have very dense foliage, twisted hollow trunks, and their roots form an intricate maze with lot of space between them and the ground. Actually, this "in between" zone is almost like a forest under the forest, with vegetation of its own. A tribe of nekos live in this layer. Even further down is a network of dark caves and more roots, mostly unexplored and inhabited by giant and voracious insects. In Chidokai forest, it's often hard to tell where trees end and where the ground begins.
