“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

Bartholomew lit up  more candle to brighten up the dark room of the first Queen. The room that was covered by the dust before, had been cleaned immaculately by a flick of fingers. It was all thanks to Bartholomew and his secret power. 


The so called-first queen was still laying down on the bed. Her grey eyes blinked every few seconds. She was still trying to adjust herself with the lights around her. Her half of century sleep, had got her used to the darkness. 


"I know that this might be too bright for your eyes. But it is better than the sunlight outside the castle." Said Bartholomew, standing at the end of the bed. His eyes studied the woman carefully, as he anticipated the sudden change that might occur any minute to her.


Slowly, the woman got up and sat down gracefully on the bed. 


Seeing the Queen was fine and strong enough to sit up, Bartholomew smiled widely. "I shall prepare your favourite tea right away, Your Majesty."
