The pearls

Palacia goes to find Dimia. She runs in the direction where she last saw her little sister. Palacia stops.

The route is split in two ways! Left leads to the sanctuary and right leads to the woods! “Where has she gone?” – Palacia wonders. The older sister sees Taz, but not Dimia.

Palacia gazes around and searches the near place. She sees an unusual shadow behind a tree. The older sister slowly and discreetly approaches the tree! She assures that she is being heard!

      Palacia: Now, where might she be?

Palacia reaches the tree. She puts her palm on the tree and glides it around the trunk. She stops! Between the two sisters is the trunk of the tree.

      Palacia: You know… devils like to hide behind trees!

Palacia bends the fingers of her hand as if it was a claw! She glides her fingers slowly around the trunk. A scratching sound can be heard! It intimidates Dimia! The young sister moves in a opposite way to her sister, so that Palacia would not reach her!

Dimia’s heart start to beat faster! She does not know what is happening! The morbid tensionand the terrifying wood scratch make her feel anxiety.

      Palacia: You know why?

Palacia stops moving and stops gliding her fingers on the trunk! The scratch sound is no more! There is only the tension and silence between the two sisters. One cannot see the other because of the tree.

      Palacia: Because… they… ARE…

Dimia can only see the trunk of the tree!

      Palacia: TREES!

Suddenly, two hand appears! They grab the tree with claw-like fingers! Dimia uncontrollably jumps back! She was not expecting this! Dimia screams! The young sister freaks out!

      Dimia: YOU SCARED ME! I thought that was a DEVIL!

      Palacia: Not such a war lord now? … Come! Let’s head to the sanctuary

Dimia is grumpy. Her older sister follows the route that leads to the sanctuary! Taz follows Palacia. Dimia gazes at Taz and follows them.

In they walk, Dimia observes by looking to her left and right, that there are not many of Taz’s kind here.

      Dimia: I haven’t seen sphynxes around here. Why did you pick one as your disciple?
