Cybil faced the eerie woman from a distance. The woman once more called out to Cybil: "This way"
Cybil mysteriously moved towards the woman.

"Were you the one ringing that bell?"
"Ku ku ku..." (Onomatopoeia for a chuckle)
The woman's face suddenly twisted and she began
laughing loudly. She saw Cybil's perplexed expression, but thought
nothing of it and just waved her hand left and right in front of
Cybil's face.

"I have been waiting for you. You have come just as I expected."
Cybil cocked her head to the side.
"Do you live here?"
The woman nodded and then looked at Cheryl.

"You have done well to come here. You know, don't you? That it was my doing that caused... And you were hesitant to come alone, weren't you? But in the end I was able to meet you. It is all thanks to that woman."

"I don't understand what you are talking about."
Cybil's words may or may not have reached her, but
that woman began to laugh loudly again.
"Hey, tell me. Why are there no people here? Why are all the exits from town blocked?"

"I do not know either. But shouldn't you be asking that girl instead?"
Cybil had a look of "What?" on her face. She looked
at Cheryl. Cheryl face was tearful, and she shook her head back
and forth.

Cybil looked back at that woman and shouted at her.
"Stop all this nonsense! We have been pursued by monsters and nearly killed. If I was not protecting this child then who knows
what would have happened to her by now."

"The path of the Wiseman...the fool guided to this
land through astrology. Everything has been preordained. There is nothing that I can do. You are not holding that child's hand. That child is holding yours."

Her anger showing, Cybil went to open her mouth. But
at that moment the woman blocked her.

"I am Dahlia Gillespie. With that in hand I wonder where you will end up
going. I have nothing for you, and nothing to tell you.
Page 17
You must escape from the demon's grasp as soon as
possible. You must find the means to do so for your own sake. There is nothing I can do now. I will pray for your safety. ...Cybil Bennet."

Cybil was shocked to be called by name. As she
watched Dahlia quickly depart she was unable to speak.
