Splash! Hakuin's idea to follow the strangers North had gotten him lost. In fact it was his last step that had placed him waist deep in what appeared to be a swamp. Pulling himself back up onto a square of dirt protruding out of the warm Waters... He glanced around to ascertain if he could find some footsteps 4 Clues indicating where the mysterious Raiders had gone. He did not see Any sign of his would-be assailants... he did however notice a sweet smell of some unknown flower wafting past his nose in the mid day air. He decided he would press on North in the direction that he had been traveling and that he knew the Raiders had gone... in hopes that he might ReDiscover their Trail and exact his investigation. he followed A narrow dirt Trail winding carefully through the bottom of a large Willow Forest. The Roots gnarled and old crawled and fought their way out of mud dirt and water in this Swampy forest biome. His observation of the forest around was abruptly halted by the blood curdling scream of a man a few hundred feet of the trail. Hakuin look down Trail and saw a group of men. The same men that he saw running away from his home probably the same men who were discussing which one got to kill him earlier that day... they were huddled together three of them back to back to back while a large group of zombies overwhelmed them. He knew it was too late to try to save them... he could already see there inventory items dropping down on the ground as their lifeless bodies fell over and were feasted on. Still hungry ,the crowd of zombies turned their attention almost instinctively towards Hakuin, and began racing towards him. He looked behind him on the trail... He saw more zombies coming towards him from his planned of retreat. In a matter of seconds he would be zombie food. He saw images of his family being eaten Flash before his eyes. " tonight is not my night you bastards!" He Yelled towards the zombies... glancing up off of the beaten path and up the hill a ways he noticed a small wooden cabin tucked into the hill and positioned quaintly on a flat spot halfway up the steep dirt Hill. He raced off of the trail and up the hill towards the cabin door. He reached the door of the cabin before the zombies and burst through quickly closing it behind him! Backing away from the door he threw large chunks of dirt in front of the door piling it up to block further the entrance to his temporary Safe House. still panting he looked around at a small unfurnished Stone cabin with a single torch burning ominously in the corner. " please open the door! Please I beg you! Help me!" A desperate cry for help came from outside and sounded to him like his sister's voice crying out for him. But he knew that could NOT be possible...
