"Huh... ? What the fuck?" the Figure said as Sincentius helped him back to his feet. "I think I just met... whoever is doing this to Serin."

"Oh? Do share," Sincentius said with a smile spreading across his face. The smile was easy to see in the glow of the growing forest fire.

"Well, I don't know who it was." the Figure said, trying to remember as many details as he could from the vision. "There was some kind of big battle going on. There was blood and body parts everywhere. That kid Spade was there too, at least I think it was Spade, except he wasn't a kid anymore. He accused this man of murdering Serin."

"Did you get a good look at the man in question at least?!" Sincentius asked with perhaps more excitement than he meant to express.

"No, not really," the Figure answered, shaking his head. "He wore some kind of mask. I think it was... made of skin."

"Hmmm! Another piece of the puzzle has fallen into place." Sincentius said, stroking his chin.

Without another word, Sincentius walked towards the last place they saw Serin, the origin of the fire, and walked into the tall flames, disappearing through them. Hesitantly, the Figure followed, having forgotten for only a moment that the flames would do him no harm as a visitor from another time and place.

Walking through the shallow stream, they realized that Serin had run even deeper into the woods, at least it seemed so. There was no sign of him or the demon.

Sincentius continued forward and having no better idea, the Figure followed. It wasn't long before they reached a building of some sort. It was large and dilapidated, long ago forgotten and left behind for the forest to slowly reclaim.

"Was this someone's house?" the Figure asked, scanning the front of the structure. Away from the brightness of the flames and too deep into the forest for the moonlight to have much effect, it was difficult to tell what its purpose once was.

"Not quite," Sincentius said. "It belongs to them, the Deaths, though you'd think they had no idea it was here. Then again, for the sake of what's about to unfold here, maybe that's for the best..."
