[Aisling's voice can be heard through the phone, but it sounds slurred and groggy.]

Ughhh...what happened? My head hurts...and I tried to sleep but I couldn't...

...Yesterday I woke up in the park, and I didn't know how I got there...does anyone know what happened? I don't remember very much...

You were acting strangely.

[wolf_faerie]

That's what people have told me.

[puzzlerprince]

You didn't want me going anywhere near the house. Something about it being where "the Dark One" lived?

[wolf_faerie]

The Dark One...?

[A pause.]

...I thought the house was the Dark One's cave?

[puzzlerprince]

Something like that.

[wolf_faerie]

Well, I'm glad it really isn't...if the Dark One came here...

[puzzlerprince]

What exactly is the Dark One? I'm not entirely sure I've heard you talk about it before.

[wolf_faerie]

It's...the Dark One is a horrible monster. A god.

[puzzlerprince]

Really, now? Have you ever seen this God? Face-to-face?

[wolf_faerie]

Yes. It's not imagined, even though most people think it is. I've seen it. It takes everything...

[puzzlerprince]

...and?

[wolf_faerie]

...it took my people...and my mother...

[puzzlerprince]

...I'm sorry.

[wolf_faerie]

...it's alright. It's been a very long time.

[Ed kinda scratches the back of his head, unsure of what to say. He feels a bit awkward, having lived in a house with Aisling and the others for so long yet being so introverted and single-minded on finding a way out.]

[wolf_faerie]

...what's wrong?
