It's been a month since you received information about Brandon's death.
**(You didn't know it was a deception, Brandon was alive, the ritual failed, and Brandon had no way to get in touch right now). *

• You wanted to visit the places where Brandon lived, without going to the cult's territory, of course, but you didn't know where anything was. *
• You wandered through the forest for a long time until you came across a path. The path led you to a small village. *
• The village was a little... strange? *
• Its inhabitants silently watched you from the windows, frozen and stopping everything they were doing. There was some kind of banner hanging on each house. *
• "Damn, it looks like this is some kind of cult..." *
• Before you could do anything, your legs suddenly gave way, your vision started to blur, you fell unconscious, the inhabitants silently surrounded you. *

• You woke up in an abandoned barn not far from the village, still in the woods, bound (and gagged, if you will), in the dark. *
• The door quietly opened, someone stood on the threshold, blocking the sun and looking around, peering into the darkness. *
  — Hey?.. Is anyone there..?
• (It was Brandon, but you didn't know, you'd never seen him in person.)
