“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.

When the door of the carriage was opened, Edmond quickly jumped out of the carriage, forgetting the fact that Finch was on his shoulder, nearly fell off of him as her mind was occupied with something else. She was not as excited as Edmond to see the festival, after hearing the conversation between his father and his uncle. Finch felt like her stomach was being twisted from thinking about everything. 


"Oh, Finch! Look!" Exclaimed Edmond. "They'll start soon!"
