[ ACT I — THE ARRIVAL. ]
An endless sea of trees loomed overhead as though they were curious about the vehicle that had arrived on their land. The light of day could not reach from under the pillars of wood and foliage. It made it seem as though night was beginning to fall and shadows were attempting to reach out and grab onto their vehicle. The shapes that peaked out from behind the trees could easily be mistaken as trick of the light or the eyes seeing things that weren’t there. The shadows, no, the figures stayed just out of the line of sight yet they had no problem with keeping up with the moving vehicle. Had the group been outside they would have heard the giggles, the whispering that sounded oh so close.
Alas, the human mind was also so ready to deny the impossible. They often covered their eyes at the hint of something otherworldly, safety tucked away in their bubble of normalcy. That bubble would do them no good where they were going. As they crossed the enormous arch of old wood, the bubble quickly popped then and there without anyone even noticing. Talon’s Cross had them now and it would slowly devour them whole if they let it.
Eyes bore into the car from the streets. It was apparent that the little town rarely got visitors from the looks that they received. The children were particularly curious, adorable little things ran beside the car for a while. They were all big smiles and carnation adornments. In such a small town, it seemed as though a fear of strangers wasn’t present. Their attention had soon turned to another child, plainly dressed. They surrounded them in what appeared to be some sort of game.
It wasn’t long before they reached their temporary home. A small cottage stood proudly in front of a vast forest. The sun shone on the building and flowers decorated the front lawn. It was exactly what people tended to associate with small towns. There were neighbors but a field separated them by a good distance. There was little concern for anyone disturbing them. The car parked and the doors opened, the occupants stepped out and took it all in.
