Eztli and Peta strolled along the winding path; the afternoon is getting darker across the tranquil of the rancho.  As they meandered through the overgrown fields, Eztli's gaze shifted to the side, where an eerie house loomed in the distance.

"What's that?" she asked, pointing towards the abandoned house that stood desolate amidst the lush foliage.

Peta followed her gaze, "Just an abandoned house. There are a few scattered around here."

Eztli's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she observed the dilapidated structure. "I get all curious about houses like that. I always wonder who lived there, why it's built like that, how it ended up like that."

Peta said, "It's made of mud, and now it has no roof or windows, all hidden by the trees that have reclaimed it.

Eztli's heart quickened with excitement as she turned to Peta. "We have to go inside. I've always wondered how it feels to have the trees growing within the walls of a house."

Peta hesitated, "Don't think about it. Let's focus on finding my grandparents is our goal we don't need distractions. 

As they continued their search, a strange sensation tugged at Peta, drawing her towards the abandoned house. She halted in her tracks, a shiver running down her spine as a peculiar presence enveloped her. Glancing at Eztli, she wordlessly conveyed her apprehension, but she simply shrugged off her silent caution and ventured towards the decrepit building.

Back in the rancho, where the tall grasses swayed gently in the evening breeze, the duo explored the twisting paths.

Konane, was walking ahead of Rono but suddenly Rono was not anymore.

"Konane, come back!" Rono's voice carried through the thickening dusk, tinged with a hint of concern. "This is not the time for games; we need to head back before night falls completely." 

However, Konane wandering attention led him deeper into the place. As Rono ventured further. To his surprise, a snake slithered into view, its scales glistening under the faint moonlight. The sight sent a shiver down Konane's spine; snakes were not known to be nocturnal creatures, their presence in the fading light was unusual.

Fearing the reptile's venomous fangs, Rono turned on his heels and dashed through the undergrowth, his heart pounding against his chest. He run away from his spot; he approaches to a tree to rest. Yet, as he glanced back in a moment of panic, he saw the snake again, this time coiled in a nearby tree, its eyes glowing an eerie orange in the darkness. But the snake unusual behavior the snake turns around if he wanted to follow him.

Meanwhile, Konane, alarmed by Rono's somehow, he felt that he wasn't the same place, he ventured deeper into the woods in search of his friend. Shadows stretched across the woodland floor, casting an air of mystery over the surroundings. It was then that he stumbled upon a clearing, where a lone dog stood amidst the gnarled trees.
