....Asylum...

I know that word. Doesn't it mean a place of safety? A place of protection.

So why then, Seele, have you brought your ragtag band of misfits here ? For you are undoubtedly not safe. Don't you know about what lurks in this Marsh? Have you not heard the stories about the undead, or about the monsters who would dine on your heart and soul (literally) with their afternoon tea? And yet here is where you bring your band?

Perhaps you should stop listening to those voices in your head, and instead listen to mine: Run.

They come in a ring, moving in perfectly symmetry as if there is only in fact one ultimate mover, and the rest are merely copies. Perhaps that is the case, but they certainly don't look like the sort of things you would want to touch, to find out. All are cloaked in thick black robes, which appear to suck light in, reflecting nothing. They stand only about 5 feet tall, and appear to be vaguely human in appearance - or at least insofar as they stand upright on legs, and their hands (or front appendages) seemed to be linked together as if with hands clasped beneath their robes - as they walk. On their backs are simple woven baskets, and yet it is impossible to see what's inside - although you can smell it. All I can say, is it smells wonderful. Like the scent of lightning and fresh rain; of waterfalls and undisturbed serene lakes; fresh honey suckle and autumn leaves - what could they possibly have in there, that would give off such a scent?

As they move closer, some moving in the marsh, some on pathways, but all moving in such a way as to enclose the group, do they really appear so frightening? Sure their faces are hidden - but really, they are just cloaked creatures with baskets on their backs.

What harm could their be, in that?
