Tap! Tap!

Isaac ’s footsteps rang in the near-silent forest. Recently, the sound of fighting and bickerings had reached the deeper parts of the woods.

He pulled out the piece of paper. His eyes skimmed through the text. The paper revealed where the next clue was, but it wasn ’t accurate. It only disclosed which direction he needed to walk to.

He pocketed the paper and resumed walking. Soon, he went past a pair of broken trunks. The fallen trunks weren ’t cut with a saw. Instead, it looked like someone yanked the tree with brute force.

Isaac stopped and examined the broken tree. The upper half of the tree was lying on the ground. Next to it was the stump. The stump was uneven, with thorns of a tree prodding through.

’There are burnt marks… ’ He thought to himself after seeing black marks around the rims. He stood up and walked over the collapsed tree trunks.

After walking for another ten minutes. Isaac ’s steps came to a halt. In the distance was a paper nailed on the tree. The tree seemed very old, leaning left and trunk narrowly intact.

Isaac stopped in front of the paper and yanked it out of the tree. Once the paper was removed, the tree showed signs of activity.

Crack!

The tree trunk cracked out of nowhere. The thorns peeked through, and soon the tree started tumbling down!

Bam!

A deafening sound echoed in the previously serene part of the forest. The tree was broken in half. In the bark, signs of decaying were detectable. The cavities started forming at a speed visible to an eye.

The tree stump was of grayish color and seemed to be decaying.

Isaac ’s gaze shifted from the tree to the paper. The paper showed an arrow pointing to the left. His head turned to the left, and he saw an arrow poking through another tree.

He pocketed the paper and went to the arrow. Once he arrived next to the tree, he pulled the arrow out and examined it.

The arrow was in top shape. Isaac expected to see some signs of breaking apart. After all, the arrow was made from wood, and it would be very unlikely it could stay intact after colliding with a sturdy tree.
