The maidens' departure from the cabin seemed to go unnoticed, as they continued their way, soon having nothing more to go by than the light of the stars at the clear black sky. It certainly didn't help to notice all the twigs and branches that covered the ground, scratching their bare feet. The sounds of birds and other forest animals had long past made place for the singing of owls and the chirping of nocturnal insects.<br/><br/>After a while, the couple ran into a most particular tree. It was wide, maybe around ten feet, with it's roots thick, and far apart, providing open spaces in between them. There were no branches whatsoever at the lower fifteen feet of the trunk, though several bumps and carvings were noticeable here and there. Above those 15 feet however, the truck quickly dissipated into lots of small branches ran in all directions but down, with leaves erecting all over them. Somehow, the place seemed a tad more quiet than the rest of the woods.
