The purple flames slowly faded, revealing a strange figure standing calmly in the circle.
Everyone watched in fear, gripping their weapons tightly. The newcomer looked like a young girl, wearing an eerie pig skull mask that completely covered her head.
Her dress was dark and frilly, like a spooky doll, colored in shades of black and purple. She softly hummed her sinister lullaby, sending chills down everyone's spines.
The girl stepped forward playfully, looking around casually at the defeated beasts. Then she stopped, tilting her head curiously.
"This again, huh?" she sighed softly.
Ronan nervously stepped up.
"Who...who are you?"
The others held their breaths, weapons ready, anxious and confused. Crest clenched his fists tightly, his voice shaking.
"What are you doing here? Who are you?"
The mysterious girl slowly turned her masked face towards the path Bel had taken, ignoring Crest's question.
