The Lone Moon: First Quarter

A New Perspective

While those two are settling their differences, we now go back to Erika. But the question is, where is she? You're about to find out soon enough...

Erika: Ugh, where... am I?

As she moved her sore body inch by inch, she realized that not only her hands were shackled to the floor, but also her legs.

?: Struggling is pointless.

Erika: WHOSE THERE?!?

Deep in the shadows, Erika saw the same big red eyes she has seen in the forest.

?: No one, just a mere figment of your imagination.

The silhouette then moved closer to Erika.

Erika: Who are you?

?: Oh, I'm terribly sorry, where are my manners? 

The silhouette steps out from the darkness. 

Devi Lonso, at your service. You don't have to tremble and quiver in fear like that. Don't you worry, I won't harm you, hmph,  for now...

Erika: Wh-at are y-ou go-in-g to-to do to- me?

Devi: Hmmm, nothing much actually. Just a few, minor changes...

Erika: What are talking about?

Devi: My, my, we have a nosy one, don't we... But since you asked nicely, I'll leave you with this;

you'll feel those changes soon enough...

The process will take-over in a few hours.

Erika: Please mister, whatever it is... I-I don-t want to be a pa-rt of it. I just want to go home...

Devi: Unfortunately, you're a bit too late darling. HA! I hope you like your cell. I had it newly refurbished, just for the occasion. The last one, kind of made a mess of things, so please try your best not to trample over him...

Once Erika laid her eyes on the skeleton, she started to freak-out and scream.

Devi: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! He was like you once, scared, feeble... w e a k...

Soon... you'll join him and the others... I hope you like the dark.

Erika: "Sniff" Do-n't, don't worry guys... I'll- I'll find you. I just really hope you're alright...

Making his way out, he heard everything she has said and maliciously let out a big smile.

Erika was now left in the darkness. But as soon as she looked up from her cell window, she saw something worth while, the beautiful moon. From a distance, she heard howling. She then took out the crumpled note from her pocket and began to tear-up.

Erika: "Sniff" I-I promised...

Erika cried herself to sleep, she couldn't even imagine what would happen next.

Now all she had to do now, was to wait...
