“Do you still have my coin?” Asked Edmond in a low voice. 
 
Finch nodded. “It’s here.” She lifted her free hand and opened her fist, showing Edmond the coin that he gave her last night. The coin that she used as her marker during the game. 

“You have to keep it. We’ll play again soon.” Edmond promised. 

Finch nodded happily. Her smile broadened as she heard Edmond’s promise. “I’ll be waiting for you Edmond.” 

“I’ll come back for you.” He vowed.

In the land of Easton, a few boys from the village started to visit the forest, after being encountered with a girl whose whole life was spent inside the forest. As they built friendship between them, the forest had turned into nothing but their new playground. Curiosity led to dangerous exploration, revealing the hidden secrets that were almost forgotten. 

When the news about the girl in the forest was heard by the Mayor, a hunt began.

There was one thing that the girl was forbidden to do: never stepping out of the forest. As people started to look for her, would she be able to escape from them? Above of all, would she be able to save her dear friends?

Who knew that the action of those innocent children would cause so many deaths in the land.

Birth of The Free Bird

It took him longer to gain his conscious than his senior. Turner's head throbbed with pain but he was panicking as he woke up in an unfamiliar place. After what had transpired in the forest with the scary woman and the little girl, he was scared that he might be abducted by the woman. 


"Mr. Piper?!" Exclaimed Turner when his eyes found his senior in the front room. He swept his glance towards the old man and the boys that he did not recognise. "Where are we now?"


Newton pressed his lips into a thin line, annoyed with Turner sudden appearance in the room. 


"You are at my home, Sir..?" Spoke Sebastian. He was, somehow, glad the man came to interrupt Newton's questioning the boy. He was not sure what had happened between Mosley and these people, but he felt the need to protect the boys.


"Sebastian had helped us, Turner. We passed out in the forest." Newton explained. His attention went back to the boys but again, he was interrupted. This time it was Sebastian and the bird.
