The group entered the woodland, walking deeper and deeper into its heart. As they progressed, the woodland grew increasingly strange. The trees, foliage, and bushes became abnormally thick.

The warriors didn't notice this strangeness, but Wiglaf did. He found it unsettling as someone who often scouted and hunted in these woods. Using his knife, he marked the trees periodically to avoid getting lost.

"It seems… we've been played by a witch or a druid residing in this woodland," Wiglaf muttered as he surveyed the surroundings. He recognized the place; they were back at the first tree he had marked.

"What makes you think that?" asked the leader of the warrior group.

Wiglaf pointed to the marked tree. "We've been walking in circles for quite some time. This is the first tree I marked when we entered the area near the heart of the woodland."
