Spooky Claw

Episode 41

“How is Qi, still far away?“ ask the candle that is tired and not too quiet. After all, the area is a forest. There was no one, other than this man who could be chatted with this time. If taka da, or the road alone can be imagined how it feels to continue to be quiet and not closed the possibility that there will be a sudden horror coming. Especially if you see various strange forests that are rarely seen. Under abnormal conditions, there will certainly arise strange thoughts that could make something that is actually ordinary it will seem scary right.

“Entahlah, I also just groped,“ said Aqi. He never went through that forest. Although actually from his hometown is not too far away. But to get there is almost never to pass. Because it is not a relationship and desire to the area so for what else. Unless there is a need, for example, want to work on the land, or just want to take the wood, for example,. Then don't want to go there. Because this is a strange land. Which is managed perhutani and the owner is not clear. And where the wood went also does not know for sure. Therefore usually the manager of the area who knows a lot of the ins and outs of the land he worked on.

“How about?“ said Candles are confused too if they continue their steps are not sure this way. Want to move on, still wrong, not continue also increasing wrong. As a result, the longer they can not meet what is being sought. This will cause doubt. The desire to return is so great. While on the other hand, in the self that is becoming a victim seems likely it is a very desirable thing. Help how he got out of there. Because it is felt to suffer in the land of people who are very different from the world. Moreover, associating with strange creatures that are seen is already terrible, and thought also do not meet. That's why it feels so scary to be with her.

“Ya just keep going, while waiting for others to pass,“ said Aqi gave hope. Of course, if anyone passes, they can be questioned again in addition to the results of the previous person's information. Alias complements existing data.

“It's noon right?“ candle Says. The sun was visible, but the atmosphere was very quiet. That adds strangeness to him. So that between day and night seems to make no difference. Only color shows that. But the atmosphere remains the same, so, so terrible. And very worried. Especially if it is alone. Conceivably. How horrifying and confusing it is. As for asking for help that often appears is clearly impossible. And back this makes him want to go back home doing activities as usual which is certainly a common thing that has become his daily life in making a living helping husband get windfall as a family living.

“Yes, usually someone passes by. If not to the stake fields, they are also there who are just reps, looking for firewood, or even just passing by to the village across the forest,“ said Aqi. Since then, no one has seen anyone who has met. Usually from the village, even though some people have left after dawn. Usually people who are good at the forest do so. So suppose looking for firewood, then they have got results in the morning as well. And do not feel hot if the middle pour and carry heavy loads on his back. Unlike if you leave during the day, you will feel tired when carrying firewood that has been cut or split. Because the weather is so hot. Never mind carrying things. Stepping off seems so difficult. That's what makes them have to walk very early in the morning.

“Entah, it is still morning,“ replied Aqi who also felt the same way. But all just dwell on just. As a result of the answer further no one can get it out. So that only clot in their respective thoughts. So then came the various conclusions made by themselves. Are they lost. So it should be on the usual path through people, but because of deviation makes not meet him. Or indeed the area is deliberately avoided by people, so people who actually want to go there but once heard of something that must be avoided make it not so do it. So for this condition that makes them not meet people who need their help this time.

“Not seen people also yes Qi,“ said Candle. Time is still morning. But their steps are also far enough. Remembering their energy as if it continues to drain. This means that it has been good in walking all this time.

“Iya. Yes, we just keep walking, who knows in front later, or at the bend behind the big tree, we will find what we expect,“ said Aqi. But this is a forest. Lots of big trees. And it is not known which trees are haunted or ordinary. Because according to the story of the tree people – large trees are mostly haunted. Or it could be said that there is a big tree that is haunted. Because for the tree itself, to become big will take a long time. Not every tree can be big. So it will be in blang if there is a large tree, where the awesomeness occurs, as the home of fine creatures, as well as the, or a creature in another world passing through that tree would be a mysterious portal to a mysterious location as well. So it is often called if the big tree as a home for the creature that is very terrible.

“OK...“ Candles only. He continued to set foot forward following the path that could be passed, of course, among other lands that seemed rarely passed. Or just a dense forest plant surrounded by thickets that seem clear if it can not be passed by people. That's one of the markers that the location that has indeed been berbak means there has been someone through it. And that is close to the bush full of thorn thistles, is the location of a dense forest that is rarely used by human feet that can step on it. This is what the Candle uses as a benchmark. At least the legs can also be free to step without being hindered which can further make a wound in that part.
