“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.

Instead of going to get the carriage, Newton went back to see Angus at his stall. The old man must have been a fool if he thought that Newton would let him go after this months.

Newton still remembered clearly of what happened to him in the forest. The image of the blind looking woman still haunted him in his dream. He felt like he had unfinished business with her. He still looked for her… and the girl. Still, he could not find them.

He had not shared his finding with anyone in the council. Except his right hand, Turner — who still had trauma of helping the blind woman. Newton did not know if he could trust anyone in the council about it. He wanted to keep it to himself until he was sure of everything. The case of the Mayor's son death remained open, but the Mayor was as intense as in the beginning to find the murderer. He seemed to be content with the idea that the guard and the maid they held as prisoners before, were the suspects.
