章節 68: Stalker

Jay ate some more bondtussle root as he walked down the hill, a smile on his face as he was happy with his new boots.

“Mmm, these are quite comfortable for some weird other-language boots.” he thought, jumping off a large rock.

As Jay was walking he noticed something strange.

“That seems a little… out of place.” he squinted at a skinny spindly tree with black bark. He didn’t recall seeing it as he was walking down or up the hill last time.

The tree was about as tall as Jay, and it stood out from other trees as it had black bark; most were evergreens or tall with shades of brown and green bark.

“Hmm…I definitely would’ve noticed you before…” he squinted as he slowly walked towards it.

“...what the fa-” he was startled as he got closer, noticing something on it’s branches as he stepped closer.
