Old Woman
Kenneth wiped his tears and denied Damien's claim while chuckling, "I d-don't think so… All we ate and drank were normal food."
Damien's suspicion that something was very wrong grew even stronger. He looked around while trying to control his laughter.
At a distance, he noticed a very old lady sitting down on a stone while facing them. A small cloth pouch was lying beside that lady. And he didn't know why but he felt that there was something off about her.
He recalled how he and Ariel had encountered a mysterious lady who called herself a witch on the worst day of his life. He narrowed his eyes at that old woman and thought to himself, "Don't tell me she is someone who is after Ariel. Or that same lady from that day..."
He subconsciously started walking towards her.
However, that lady suddenly picked up her pouch and got up from where she was resting. And though she was old, she began walking at a pace that beat young people.
