Capítulo 96: Like the Bark Of A Tree

Moments into their walks inside the accursed forest, Mel lost control over all of her senses.

'W-what's happening?!' She wondered, her mind racing rampant.

Looking around despite lacking any eyes, she quickly realized her predicament but didn't remember how she got there. And with a blink, everything changed before her eyes again. Now being worked on by a sculptor, her body slowly came to be. Yet confined by her body of wood, she couldn't move a finger or speak.
