CFF

Heatwaves. Silence of the forest is disturbed. The forest, once bustling with creatures now lie deserted under a ruthless sun casting short shadows. There is no respite and creatures have started migrating. The world is burning, there is no escape and the elusive Forest Spirit is not spared from it. Out of despair and the loss of its offsprings it finally had to reveal itself. And the witness to this revelation is Dharama.
