It Was To Keep Something Out

The three of us trekked through the undergrowth and it was clear we were not alone on this island since we started seeing trails within the forest itself.

Not those kinds of trails that you might find in civilization, but those animal trails that you might see when they keep using a specific path to get somewhere.

Unfortunately, that doesn't exactly tell us if there were people, monsters or just normal animals here.

Odeta showed her skills in tracking by keeping an eye on the trail, even when it disappeared into the undergrowth where I could not differentiate it from the grass around us.

She then stopped at a tree and started looking around with a serious look on her face.

"There's two paths here," She announced after a while. "The one on the left seems less travelled while  the one on the right seems to be used more often."
