Kaldau 03, 258: The Twisting Stumps

I kinda miss the cottage. Saw a few strange critters on my way through this forest. I'm hoping to find a river and follow it... Came across something in particular that eludes all definition.. It had a bell, rather large for the size of the creature carying it, hanging from its hat. A tendril appeared to be holding a second hat up from its eye, and multiple smaller eyes covered its body. Tiny legs seemed to move it quickly through the forest, and it had a glowing half-circle strapped to its back. I didn't interract, and it jjust kept moving, unbothered by my existance. I've attempted to draw it in the bestiary. I decided to head in the oppostie direction of the...thing, and eventually came across another strange sight. It kind of looked like a tree stump with the rings twisted into something vaguely resembling a face. Portions of this face seemed to extend being the physical boundaries of the stump, and there were so many in this clearing. They sang for me. I'd be fine never hearing that song again, at least I found the stream though... ♫Twist with us Twist
TWist
TWisT TWIST♫ This entry has a drawing on the opposite page rather than the back...seems the writer changed up their formatting. Good for them! The only note is more of the stump's strange song. "♫Twist with us. Twist twist twist TWIST TWIST♫"
