Lostwood Pine, or Lostwood for short, was a forest which stood somewhat in the center of several civilizations large and small. A far older name for this forest is Snakethorn forest due to a type of bush which is known to only grow in this forest. The Snakethorn Bush, which produces Snakeberries. These berries may look delicious but as name may foretell they are incredibly poisonous. Death is not slow from consuming these berries. Illness/fever are first symptoms followed by paralysis. If the anti-poison or antidote is taken soon enough, the road to death can be averted. If not, the body and organs will slowly but surely fail or shut down. This berry has been known to facilitate or be an ingredient in many renown poisons in the world. Especially due to how difficult it can be to pinpoint it's use/presence in the human body. The leaves on the Snakebush are green, yet edges are sharp/spiked. The berry itself is light-blue to white in color. There is another bush which looks exactly like the Snakebush which is not poisonous. The only difference is the non-poisonous brush has ordinary or non-spiny leaves. 

Deep within Lostwood, a small clearing existed. Centering the small clearing was a cabin of sorts. Birds chirped, wildlife carried about their business and the sun shone high in the sky. Summer was going strong, in fact it was about the middle of summer-time and noon of that day. If one were walking close enough to this clearing, they didn't even need to see it, they would hear a most peculiar sound. Thunk, thunk, and more thunks echoed faintly throughout. The source of this sound was a man who slowly yet strongly swung an ax against the base of a tree. The man was none other than Jin. He was not only making the clearing a bit bigger, but utilizing the resources which could be found by the tree he was trying to fall.

The sounds of thunks and slams stopped briefly. Jin placed the head of the ax onto the forest soil and braced himself with it. Wiping his brow he cleaned his forehead of sweat. Sluggishly Jin's eyes scanned the tree, looking to see if he needed to move his position or anything else needed to be done. Then the mans eyes would shift to observing the surrounding area. Not easily did this man lose his guard, so checking the environment around him was something often done. Yet, again he would go back to chopping at the tree.
