The cheetah leaned against the fencing of the corral. "But what if we're
just making them restless?"
"You mean we are the ones stirring them up? Interesting idea but those
woods have been haunted long before we came here."
Stealth wagged a finger back and forth in front of the woman. "No,
Terrant, they've been haunted but it wasn't until you arrived after the
winter assault that they became active. It's a constant occurrence now."
She nodded slowly. "True, something has stirred them up but I find it
hard to believe our mere arrival caused the trouble."
"Not your mere arrival," Stealth explained. "Edmund's journeys. He
frequents the woods."
"There is more going on here than that. " she said. "Something greater is
happening now. How can you explain the drawing on that map of the three of
you? And those odd dreams Edmund has been having lately. And what about you
and Nest? Don't you find it odd that all of you seemed to be drawn to those
woods? Like Nestorius. He was exiled here. With the entire world to choose
for his exile Nest chose Metamor Keep. Why Metamor?"
He tilted his head to one side. "Aren't you reading too much into
coincidence?" Stealth asked.
The woman shrugged. "Perhaps, but there are too many things happening to
just be coincidence."
End part 2
Hi Chris,
I'm enjoying reading the second half of this tale, the one with
Edmund and Stealth making another venture into the Haunted Woods. I
think that if Stealth is starting to take notice to Edmund's
obsession, than others will have as well. Further, if the spirits
seem to be even more stirred up than usual, Duke Thomas may order
Edmund to stop going into the woods.
May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,
Charles Matthias
