#Annonblood

[

A blood stain?

What's going on?

I should take a look...

Under a giant tree,

you find some bushes with

blood smudged on some

of the leaves.

Within the bushes, you see

that the trail of blood continues, almost as if a bleeding animal struggled to find refuge within

the bushes.

Hmmm....

*Cough cough*

It's so dusty!

[?]

...Awwww

Oh... Oh God...!

Huh...?

I heard something

from below! Let's

dig it up!

You pull up the bushes,

and beneath the dust and

shrubbery, you find

a small burrow.

[Haggard Man]

*Cough cough!*

Wh...who's there?

Shuda?! If that's you,

stay back, or I'll kill myself!

Hey...

What are you doi--

He vanished!

Hmmm...?

I sense kindess, sincerity and a general love for mankind in your voice. Verily, you are not Shuda.

You are unfamiliar to me, outsider. I'm unsure of how you found my hiding place, but if you have something to say, make it short!

You dig up the bushes, stirring

up a large, choking cloud of dust.

What a large,

choking cloud

of dust!

As you dig up the bushes, the ground beneath one of the bushes crumbles and you hear a scream

from beneath.

...M-my legs!

What was that noise?

Ugh, it's awfully dusty.

I better stop digging.

*cough cough cough*

You find that the burrow is empty. It seems Annon has found a new hiding place.

You find a pile of dead bushes under a large tree. The area around the bushes seems awfully dusty.

That looks

like blood!

Hmm...

Yes...

That's definitely blood.

Strange to see

a blood stain in

this kind of place...
