Selestra clung tightly to the tree branch that she was resting on, panting from the escape she had just pulled off. She had managed to climb up a tall tree just outside of town, and quite sure that the guards would have caught on by now, decided to stay in hiding while she planned her next steps. [i]Someone, or something[/i] had taken these people away, and it had something to do with that flute music the night before. Could it be some sort of hypnotic spell? Where was she to even start? Suddenly hearing footsteps, she quietened her breathing and peered down through the leaves. A couple of the town's guards passed by under her. She waited until they were gone, and then carefully dropped herself to the ground.

She took a quick glance around the forested area, catching sight of a gleaming object in one of the bushes as she did so. She walked over to the item of interest and picked it up, finding it to be an intricate bracelet adorned with small gems. Someone must have dropped it while making their way through the forest. Looking right ahead, Selestra could tell that a new path had been forcibly cut through the vegetation. In the distance, something else had been caught on a twig and was flapping in the wind. She continued down the path, discovering the second object to be a piece of torn cloth, possibly ripped from someone's clothing. Could they have been taken this way? She broke into a run, letting the strange path take her away from the town.
