Epic (9 page)

They want to destroy the forest by spreading rot and decay.

Nod is running for his life to escape a Boggan's poison arrow.

Nod is a Leafman—although sometimes he wishes he wasn't!

The Leafmen are brave Jinn soldiers who defend the forest.

Ronin is their courageous leader.

Mandrake is the Boggans' leader and he has an evil plan. He will steal the royal pod—the life force of the forest.

M.K. is a human girl who gets shrunk to Jinn size.

Now she must protect the pod.

Mub, Nod, M.K., Ronin, and Grub will keep fighting to protect the pod and the life of the forest!
