The Field of Night

by Kai'okoa

The kids that we terroized went home and told their parents. They tried to confront us but I told them the truth and maybe downplayed what we did a wee bit.. Not long after a woman tried to reward us for saving the sheep from the manticores. Told her to go buy some new ones, I don't need to take money from people who value sheep so much.
 
We started trekking through a forest to reach the old woman's house as Keryn asked us too. Lots of crows following us and watching, extremely unnerving.
 
The forest cleared enough for us to find the field of nightshade and immediately I felt another entity grab onto my mind and I couldn't control my body. I felt a 4th person in my mind fighting for control and the voice cleared and became Aethelwulf's and suddenly I was following him.
Dhok had also been affected and had wandered in further than I. As we were trying to rescue him some dark fey creatures emerged and attacked us. I tried to help but the field called to me and pushed my body out of my control again. Aethelwulf dragged me out, maybe I should be nicer to him.. as much as we antagonize each other, he is always willing to help any of us.
 
I've never felt so scared.. the feeling of not being able to control myself reminds me of when I was little.
 
We made it to the old woman's cottage and she introduced herself as Caderyn. She told us some stories about travelling with a druid while drinking tea with us. After helping her around her shack Esi had a conversation with her while we waited outside.
