Third Chamber: Nightmare Forest

Minka curled her fingers through Dakshana’s, and Dakshana gave her hand a squeeze. She had to close her eyes and bite her lip to keep from screaming when the magic flared. When she opened her eyes, she was back in the forest - she was free. Her first instinct was to turn and head for the village, but when she turned, the sky was - wrong. The sunset filtering through the trees slanted in the wrong direction, and she couldn’t see the village hill.

Minka’s eyes lit up. “Dakshana, we’re free! We broke the spell --”

“No. Your nightmare was in the forest.”
