<•Recap/Intro•>
After Norio's visit at Headquarters, he's been trying to find the town Kaede told him to go to. He's been destined to find it to save Arthur. He hasn't told any of his friends and they are suspicious of him.
<•Now•>
It's been 3 months after Arthur's fall. No sign of him waking up still, the doctors are slowly losing hope that he will ever wake up. But they kept him alone for Norio's sake.
Norio walks through the trees still looking. He marks on a tree.
NO: Ok... I haven't been this way yet.
He writes it down in his notebook.
NO: A tree...
He looked around at the trees and saw another one marked.
NO: Almost there I hope...
He walks through several marked trees.
*10 minutes later*
He makes it to a tree that hasn't been marked and marks on it. He looked forward and saw a dark tunnel. It had thorny branches surrounding it. He cautiously entered it with no light. Once he's made it through it was all foggy.
NO: Like Kaede said... but where's the town?
Norio walks throughout the woods, it was very foggy.
NO: I hope nothing is out here...
He pulls his sword out just in case. He continues to walk forth on the path looking around and listening closely for any movement.
*Rustling*
He turns to the left and points his sword out in front of him. He looks closely and noticed two small eyes looking right at him.
NO: Come out! I can see you!
He heard a low hiss coming from it and immediately tightens his grip on the sword. It jumps out at him and he gasps not expecting it. He swings his sword but didn't slice anything. He looked around for where it went but didn't see anything.
NO: Huh..?
He looks down and jumps while panting. The cat meows at him and he tilts his head to the side.
NO: A cat..
It walks up to him and rubs its body on his leg. Norio chuckles and pets the cat. It ran off while he was petting it as it heard a small noise in the bushes.
NO: Why did you leave?
He looks through the bushes. The cat wasn't there anymore.
NO: Huh?
He scratched his head and looked around.
NO: Where did it go?
He continued walking through the foggy woods looking around for the cat.
NO: It's a little strange, that I only see a cat here. But back in our town there aren't many animals there...
Somebody was watching him in the trees. The person chuckles quietly and jumps across the trees following him.
NO: Hmmm...
He stopped in his tracks once he saw a dead animal. He kneels down in front of it to view its eyes were missing and all of its legs.
