“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

Last night when Finch woke up, she felt her whole body  throbbing with pain. At the beginning, she found it difficult to open her eyes, as her eyelids were too weak to open. She felt her muscle in her body was tensed and aching when she tried to stretch. 


Unsure of what had happened to her, Finch lifted her hands to her face, trying to massage her temple like what Mosley usually did to her own head when the woman claimed she had headache. As she brought her hands to her face, she felt something was brushing along her body, like a cloth or a blanket. 


She frowned, but she felt strange from doing it. Had not she been frowning her whole life? Then she tried to stretch her fingers and that, too, felt strange. It was like all of her fingers joined altogether, moving altogether. Willing to find out what happened, she tried to command her body to lift up only her index fingers. There was no particular finger moved but they all seemed to move together.
