Hellish Ending

A day after the events in the forest.

"Weird, Derek has been inside for so long, why is he not back yet?" The mercenary guard looked into the forest in confusion as he stood outside.

"What has that got to do with us?" His companion said nonchalantly, "It’s hard to deal with rich people, let them enjoy themselves. Soon enough, we’ll return home with fat pockets"

"You wish. If they don’t pay us, we’ll be screwed. We would have stood around for so many days for naught."

Without Derek’s supervision, the guards outside the forest had become lax. Many of them were curious as to what was happening in the forest, but nobody could be bothered to actually go inside to investigate.

But…

Suddenly, a war cry broke the calm atmosphere.

"Go! Slaughter every single person here!"

The mercenaries guarding the forest were stunned.

What the hell was happening?

They were confused because the shout did not come from inside the forest, but from the opposite direction.
