Enchanted Walk

We walked for what felt like days along a beautiful dirt road that was lined with beautiful trees with leaves like fire and rocks almost as beautiful as gem stones. There were stones and pebbles along the road that made a satisfying crunch as we walked. It really was a beautiful walk that we were on. I knew we had not really been walking for days, but I don't walk that often and thi sis a couple mile long walk. My focus turned back to the beauty of the walk. I looked around, a little past the fiery trees was a river, a beautiful shining, glowing, crystal-like river. I kept looking around. The satisfying crunch coming from under my feet suddenly sounded more satisfying. I looked down. There were no longer pebbles or stones under my feet, but crystals. The fiery red and orange trees seemed to be more and more fiery as we walked. The crystals that were now under my feet began to become shinier and starrier as we walked. I decide to say to my family, "Is it just me or does this place seem 'enchanted?'" Suddenly, as I ask this question, we come to a gemstone that carved in it says "You have found the magic! Now listen very closely, and from now on, be very careful what you wish for!"
