I entered the home with caution, I was very clearly on edge even my thick concealing robes couldn't hide. This was very wrong. I knew this, but peer pressure kept me forward. I sat down quietly, shaking violently as I did. When Mimi left and Rose started to whisper. I wanted to agree with her but I was too nervous to say anything. Idle chatter inside, we were interrupted by a group of strangers with one of them bleeding. Having not been there during the scarecrow episode, I simply watched in more confusion and horror then the others. I was tempted to get up and help them but the chimera beat me to it, and I have never felt so grateful to anyone in my entire life.


After he passed out I watched the fish woman race to his side and question him franticly. I would just hide my head at this point. In my panic I would be gripping the wooden table on its end. I wasn't over the shock of what happened. The table on my end would start to creak. At first it soul be assumed that it was the result of uncontrolled strength, however that idea would end when it became obvious it was something else. The wooden material touching my clenched fingers would start to rot and decay rapidly. Though the effect wouldn't spread far, the creaking of rotting wood and its texture was very noticeable. My shock would be broken when my fragment of the table broke with the heavy thud of lighter rotted wood scattering on the floor beneath me. Looking down my eyes wide with fear as I stared silently and frozen.
