	Zhalias invitation was a happy suprise and they accepted it, leaving their plate on a bench by the fire, [color=4B5E44]better to go into the forest in a group[/color]. "[color=97bc88]I haven't been in there in a long time, as kids we used to make a dare out of it[/color]", they explained, remembering shrieks of excitment and fright, "I'm Phalko by the way, I don't think I know all of your names." They exchanged introductions along the way what brought them to Shipden Peak. Phalko was glad to talk to Simon and Manon since they've seen them around but never took the chance before. Simon came across charming though a bit of a loner and Manon as confident and Zahlia seemed to be trying to let her guard down. Phalko themselves tried the same, in the last three months they didn't exactly make any new friends, focussing on their work, connecting with family and usually not having a lot of patience for small talk. With this little group it felt like they could fit in. While Zahlia and Manon bonded about their european roots Phalko turned to Simon. "[color=97bc88]How have you enjoyed the festivities so far, anything I should definetly check out?[/color]", they started to strike up a conversation.
 
	When they got to the hole in the wall another person joined them, who Phalko has seen that night once already. "[color=97bc88] Phalko. You're a teacher, right?[/color]", they asked him, "[color=97bc88]I saw you in the food tent with Hanna and McDaniel. That apple pie was amazing, and the brownie warmed me up quiet well.[/color]" The chatter of the group died down as they one after the other climbed throught the pathy hole in the wall. Standing in front of the tall dark trees Phalko felt a chill creeping from their neck over their arms. [color=4B5E44]This place didn't change, this is probably a stupid idea[/color] they started to doubt. This place kept making an occasional apperance in their dreams and whenever it did they felt guilty when they awoke breathing heavily. "[color=97bc88]Dangerous indeed. I can still hear my parents scolding me about going in, even though we never went far[/color]", they joked, "[color=97bc88]Gotta admit it is very spooky. I'll collect the celandine, that will hopefully be a bit easier to spot.[/color]"
