"The Caves"

The Moonless Caves

THE WOOD: You run away as fast as you can. You know that if you'll try to give an answer to the figure you will die. You need to know something more about that door of stone and while you run you decide to reach again the village, if you can, or to find someone else who could help you.
The wall of stone and his strange guardian disappears, and you begin to think that you are safe. It will be a long and hard journey but you know that at the end you will find your answer.
You run faster and you are about to reach the end of the wood when you see, at the distance, the group of Garklich that you and Fayhlon had met before. You try to hide yourself and go behind a bush, near and huge oak, on the left. You stop there and take a breath, then give another look to the Garklich. They are coming. You get on the trees, seeing that there is a hole in the top. You looks around and your expression change rapidly. On the other side you see your friends Ander and Gihk coming in, with their sword in their hands. You smile and begin to believe that you are safe now but something that seems a branch touch your shoulder. You turn your head and your face becomes pale.
A tiny creature, a kind of human skeleton of wood and yellow bones is rising from the hole. He's inexpressive face looks at you and it takes you. You'd like to go away but you can't. He brings you in his hole and gives you a place where to sit.
An improvise consciousness takes your mind. You are not going to die and maybe you will live more than the other creatures of that strange world, but you'll stay there for ever, hidden from the world in that odd oak in the forest. You would like to scream but you finally realize that now you are just like the other creature: a spirit of the old oak, closed in a wooden skeleton and in some yellow bones.
