The Forest is a room. "You are deep in the forest, surrounded by trees. Their long branches stretch towards the sky, creating a canopy above you. You are a raven, a large black bird with purple-tinted feathers. You fly, weaving between branches, ignoring the other ravens in their nests. They have no master, no witch to serve. You're on a mission, but first, you have to get home. There’s a small dirt path, weaving between trees leading north, west and south. To the north is the witch's lair. To the west is the Garden. To the south is the fairy's cottage. To the east is more trees, too thick to fly through."

The Witch's Lair is north of the forest. "You enter the witch's lair which is, in reality, a dark cave, with thick rugs lining the cold stone floor. Tapestries cover the walls, and images of lush gardens, pastel flower fields and forest creatures are woven into the fabric. Where there are no tapestries, there are shelves, full of books and colourful glass vials. Lanterns hang from the ceiling, illuminating the room in a warm amber glow. In the middle of the room is a bubbling cauldron over a large, crackling fireplace. In the corner is a small, cluttered wooden desk and a single, twin-size bed. To the east is a wooden door."

The Witch is a person in the witch's lair.

The description of the witch is "She's sad, rubbing her pale green skin. Her long black robes drag across the ground as she moves, the edges tattered from age."

There are papers and trinkets scattered across the desk surface, some toppling over the edge. The witch isn’t very tidy; the desk is old and should’ve been replaced years ago. Instead, the dark paint is peeling, the wood is rotting and the legs creek from pressure. There’s a drawer attached to the desk, holding more unused objects." The drawer is a part of the desk.

Instead of taking the book:
say "You don't think you can lift it. It's a heavy book and there's a lot of dust you might choke on."

The description of the feather is "It's black, with purple highlights in the light on the lanterns. A raven feather, taken from you to use as a quill, although, from the state of it, it had been left in the drawer forgotten."

Instead of eating the feather:
say "The feather came from you. You DO NOT want to eat it. The texture's a bit weird. Overall it wouldn't taste good."

The description of the key is "It looks old and the metal is bent in a few places with patches of rust. It still looks more used than the other objects, with a new leather strap attached to make it easier to find."

The Storage Room is east of the wooden door. "The storage room has wooden shelves lining the walls, covering the cobblestone walls.

The Fairy’s cottage is south of the forest. “The cottage is a small, well-lit area with large curved windows adorned with sparkling pink and blue fairy lights.
