“Lets’s see if can force our way through the woods,” I said as I approached the forest. The branches intertwined like a shifting, chaotic basket. A wind moved through it seeming to whisper. Ma… ga… ga… mi... I remembered Ume’s stories about cursed truths and blocked it out as best I could. I was about to grab a branch when Kan-chan pulled on my arm.

“We don’t have time! Come on! The Lake!” Kan-chan yelled.

I followed Kan-chan’s gaze where arms were rising from the center of the lake. It was the most terrifying thing to happen to me since the Red Door. I stood frozen as the arms moved toward the shore and heads emerged. The wind whispered Ma… ga… ma… gi… sama.
