Amidst woods where whispers of secrets chase,

Swiftly we journey to Bella's grace.

In Stokes Wood, secrets quietly lie,

Where quests begin 'neath the open sky.

Tin Woodman, once rusted and old,

Now stands proud, hues bold.

Through towns and cities, day and night.

Seeking tales, both dark and bright,

Guided by our adventurous might.

Guided by stars in the darkest night.

Through time and space, our journey's script.

To solve the mysteries, in the morning light.
