Kathrine silently follows after a bit with her scythe hidden
Takes a few quick turns to try and lose any followers, thinking that some of the rumoured cult may be following in the shadows, making it almost impossible for anyone to follow.
As he takes a final turn, Alex makes it to the grounds of an open field, with gorgeous flowers and bright open skies, he sits down in the middle of the field, at peace
This is an exclusive area of the forest where only people who have lived in it for many years would know. Iām sure Iād be the only one
No bears or other animals are nearby, but can be heard in the Forest still
Kathrine keeps up and puts her hood up and takes her scythe out in full view (this is for Andrew)
A: W-wowā¦
Andrew takes a step inside. He looks down to try and find his information sheet , but all he finds are muddy boots , and muddy shorts. His shoes are now simple brown in colour.
A:Huh? Whatā¦ why am iā¦
???: Andy! Andy! Look!
A: Whatā¦?
???: Look what I found!
A: What did you find Nat-
CORAX: DARKNESS.
Andrew screams as he turns round to see Kathrine, her scythe in full view.
What is it?!
Aā¦Andrew?!
Did you hear something?
The voice isnāt here āTICK TOCK ANDREW TICK TOCKā
Andrew clutches his head
A: I-Iām fineā¦ I wasā¦ I was just seeing thingsā¦
Hearing thingsā¦ Feeling thingsā¦
He smiles as Andrew clutches his hand
Hey itās fine, voices happen sometimes to the best of usā¦
I just thought that while weāre here, Itāll be calm and we can relax
A: ā¦
Andrew starts breathing in and out deeply
Aā¦ Thanks.
Itās my pleasure! I didnāt want you feeling smothered by my companions so I thought to give us some time out to rest and recover without anything else.
He lays down and closes his eyes
Being with you is great Andrew. I feel like weāre great partners. An observer and a hunter, thatās a great duo!!
Suddenly, all the groundskeepers load their crossbows. They hear in their heads "I want one of you to patrol the forest to look for people. Tell them that if they donāt get out of here, youāll kill them. Follow through on that threat.The other two patrol the graveyard. If you see anyone with a scythe, tell them that their secret is known. None of you will remember this after the possession wears off. " The groundskeepers nod , and head off to their respective duties. Sam the possessor smiles as he thinks he has the forest all to himself.
A: A great duoā¦ yeah.
A: Isnāt that right Natalie?
???: Heck yeah! In the future , weāre gonna be the best Observer and Paladin duo ever!
A: Heh. Maybe even the first!
*???: You know , Andy , Iāve said this many times but. Thank you for everything. For sticking through everything. When I become rich and noble for killing all the Cult, youāll get the biggest amount of gold.
A: Really , Nat?
???: Yeah, really!
A: Thanks.
A: Wellā¦ see you tommorow!
???: Tommorow!
CORAX: THE LAST DAY.
Andrew clutched his head again.
A: Natalie!
He held his hand out to grasp nothing.
A:Aghhā¦
āā¦Theyāre totally gonna fail, arenāt they? Oh well, no oneās here. Checked everywhere else.ā
(eyup)
(ā¦I have 10 mins. Only doing this because itāll help me blow steam)
Grea and annebelle looked Inside the forest. A:āLooks like no one is around the edge. Weāll move in to guard closer to you, okay?ā
A(telepathically): SĶ ĶĶĢ°ĶĢ ĢÆĢ«urĢĢĶ eĶ .ŅĢÆĢ².ĢĶĢĢĢ«.ĢĶĢ¤
G:āAre you okay? The transmission is off.ā They wandered into the forest, soom coming across one of the crossbow armed man.
Andrew, are you alright?
Iād love to meet more friends that are humansā¦
Iām just a bit scared of coming to town.
I wish that there were more people here to talk to sometimesā¦
