	They collected most of the celandine at the edge of the forest beneath some bushes. Handing them to Zhalia, Phalko was curious to see how the soup would compare to the one they grew up with. While they tried to put on an adventurous facade, unease crept more and more over Phalko, similar to the fog creeping over the forest floor. Phalko was left with that feeling since the conversations died down the deeper the group walked and the trees swallowed them up. The feeling of late night paranoia and doing something forbidden. "And what did I tell you three", they remember appa berating them and their cousins every Samhain, [color=4B5E44]tell someone where you go, look out for each other, and don't go into the forest, unless you want something to eat you.[/color] They remembered all the warnings and the threats to cheeky children, the forest being the boogeyman for all the young witches of Bennington. [color=4B5E44]No one knows we're here now though.[/color]

	The creature that crawled out from the shadows in front of them looked like it ate people. The black shuck was something they learned about in school. And whereas teens tried to make fun scaring eachother with it, their teachers kept a stern face. Telling them what to do, should they ever have the misfortune to cross paths with it. In the first moment Phalko freezed, caught staring into those cold white eyes. They struggled to drag their eyes further downward on the shuck's body. "[color=97bc88]I'm with Manon on this. Try to avoid eye contact with it. Cloaking seems wise.[/color]", they told the group. Instinctivly their hand moved to the sand pouch on their hip as they stepped behind Stormy and closer to Simon. "[color=97bc88]I'd offer a sword to fight it, but I doubt that'll help against this specter.[/color]" They cast a look a Zhalia, who was furthest away from the group and had not spoken since the shuck appeared, her eyes unmoving. "[color=97bc88]Do you have any better idea than retreat, Zhalia? You know about things like this, about necromancy, right?[/color]"
