The next time we hear a voice, it’s right behind us.
Hedgehog whirls around. I raise my pistol. We didn’t expect anyone from this part of the forest. The hunters are still at our slapdash installation, we can hear them talking nervously. How did this one get here?
The new man doesn't look like a hunter. He doesn't look like he came from the forest either, for that matter. Rather, the newcomer seems to have just appeared out of thin air. He is wearing a long shapeless blue robe with a huge pointy hood that hides his face so well only a clean-shaven chin is visible. He looks like a Tolkien fan cosplaying a wizard. I have never seen a real sorcerer dressed like that in my entire life.
( Well, that must be the first. )
