Chapter 19

     We went to find Hanwen to ask about the horseman with Zaradin symbol but all we got from her was that the little pet on her shoulder was called Hobyah. What a disappointment! We then rode to the forest west to Ossington in hope that we'll find the elves who massacred the villagers.

     Slightly before sunset, Faeron discovered a dryad tree that was killed by girdling the bark around it. Ryotine decided to stay to see whoever did this and the rest of the party wanted to rest at Ossington. I felt insecured for Ryotine and offered to stay to help her. She transformed to a tree and I hid on a tree while the rest of the party went back to Ossington. That was a night that I couldn't forget...

     During midnight, a small and cute monkey-like animal approached me. It was a Hobyah, the animal that Hanwen kept as a pet. I shooed it away from me but more of them came back and started attacking me. Ryotine came to help and we found out that their skin is as hard as steel! Not only that, these little monsters can even transform to a eerie and bigger sized monkey. We found it impossible to defend ourselves and we ran for it. We reached Ossington and told the others about our encounters.

     The next morning we went to the chapel to ask Hanwen about the hobyahs who attacked us. Instead of finding Hanwen, we found our horses dead and torn apart. There were evidence of small bites all over their bodies. We returned to Ossington to ask Dyson about her whereabouts. We followed and direction Dyson gave and knocked on her door but no one answered. We then went to explore the forest west of Ossington again.

     In the forest, we encountered a wild elf and successfully captured him. He claimed that his people was massacred by Ossington. They were killed during the parley to discuss Ossington's removal of too many animals from the forest. There are only 3 of them left. We told him we're here to help and he bought us to where his friends are. So, which of them are actually telling the truth?
