The return to the park from the Twisted Forest;

After returning to the well where I'd lunched, I hung around a couple minutes more - poking into every crevice, every leaf-pile, every bush - in an ultimately futile attempt to find the slightest clue that could lead to the whereabouts of my poor cheese sandwich. The stallion certainly hadn't eaten it! We'd been together the entire evening! Plus, I was fairly sure that Grelifcents didn't NEED physical food, as we understood it...

With a final sigh I straightened up. In the same motion, I put both hands on my hips and bent slightly backward in an effort to un-kink my poor back. When this did nothing, I returned to plumb and began twisting from side to side in a 'windmilling' manner. This motion, at last, produced a series of satisfying pops, and I felt the tension leave my body.

Clearly, I was doing nothing but killing time.

By now dark had well and truly fallen, and the chill air of the forest was full of insect noises. Hurriedly, I gathered my remaining belongings, stashed them in my pack, and tried not to think about the wolf-howl I'd heard only moments ago. This done, I started down the path that would take me out of the park and back down to where I'd left my bike.

I got no more than three steps on my way.

Suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I spied a shadow. Whirling about for the second time that evening, I was just in time to spy a flash of bright pink before the Grel - for I truly believed it to be a Grel - vanished back into the gathering mist. I quickened my steps. Where the stallion had made me feel calm, this mysterious beast fostered a definite sense of unease in the pit of my stomach.

The return to the park from the Twisted Forest;
I knew the park was through here, and I was back on Resident, so I once again felt safe and secure. I thought Tiger had remained back in that area, so I was surprised to look back and see him following us, but this brought a smile to my face. I waved once more to him, to which he snorted and nodded his head up and down, and we continued on. I was a bit confused that the park now seemed to be filled with mist, as we moved into it...What could this be, was there another Grel here or something? I couldn’t actually be sure what was causing this seeming phenomenon, as it must be a phenomenon.

I tilted my head as I squinted to look through the mist, shivering a bit. Tiger moved up to nudge me, pushing at Resident a bit though I could not figure out why. Shaking my head a second time, I continued to squint, jumping a little as I thought I saw another Grel moving there. My mind couldn’t be playing tricks, it definitely was there, I’d definitely seen it. I flinched when I thought I heard wolves howling, looking this way and that, swallowing and clinging to Resident in my now nervous state. He snorted as he stared into the mist, Tiger nudging me again, gently.

As we moved further through, getting closer to where those howls had come from, I swore I saw it again...A Grel, moving in the mist, obscured by it and kind of difficult to see. My heart began to beat faster, nerves getting the better of me despite having two powerful stallions there with me. Resident perked his ears and squealed, causing me to startle a bit, and I glanced to Tiger. He too had perked up, snorting, and dug at the dirt with a hoof a moment. I swallowed, watching, and after a moment...

A pretty Grel appeared, ears pricked and eyes watchful. It squealed back to Resident, nodding its head up and down, then looked to Tiger. It pawed back, snorting at him, then focused on me. I watched the Grel, reaching out and...was surprised when it actually allowed me to touch it. I smiled as I stroked it a few moments, then it moved back a few paces and nickered.

the return to the park from the twisted forest;
back on familiar ground, i questioned what was to be done next, as i'd seen
my fair share of the captivating forest. that godforsaken stallion, though...
where had he gone? now determined to find out, knitting my eyebrows toge
ther and taking a forward stance, i began making my way back into the fores
t. watching a snake slither past me nonchalantly, as if i wasn't even there. i
had an unusual adoration for snakes but left it alone. that's when i heard the
rustling of the bushes from behind me. turning around swiftly, i began search
ing around, until out stepped exactly what i came back in here for. the grel it
self. it shook it's head as if disappointed in me and whinnied. "there you are!"
i hissed, closing in on it.
i certainly hadn't expected it's next move, which was to turn around and take
off, kicking up dirt in its path. acting immediately, i began chasing after it, kn
owing it was highly unlikely i was to actually catch it, but figuring it was worth
a shot nonetheless. now, my view of it was brief. biting down on my lip i contin
ued on, moving as fast as my legs would carry me.
then i saw him, standing there entirely immobile, not moving a muscle. as i ap
proach it, i begin to see why. my vision is nothing but a blur of white. fog over
taking any hope to view what lay ahead. the cacophonous howl of a wolf echo
es in the distance, though i pay it little mind with my current situation, which
has gone straight from trying to catch up to the mysterious grel to trying to figu
re out what's making this fog. then a flash of... purple? it's only there for an in
stant. disappearing as quickly as it came, just like everything else here. i shake
my head, extending my arms forward and doing my best to find my way around,
and after quite some time i break free of the fog.

The return to the park from the Twisted Forest;

After returning I saw a shadow, as I neared the shadow the trickster Halloween Grell charged at me. He knocked me down and stole my Halloween candy! At least he did not steal my ingredients as I picked up the scattered ingredients, I found a particular glowing mushroom. I decided to pick it and it made my hand glow! As I sat down to eat my dinner, the trickster Halloween Grell came back and stole the glowing mushroom as well!
