7:00 PM came as the sunlight filtering through the canopy grew noticeably fainter, taking on a golden-orange quality.
A rabbit burst from the bushes directly ahead, nearly colliding with Marie. She gasped before stepping back quickly so the rabbit didn't hurt itself.
But then she blinked when she saw the animal freezing in terror, and then noticed the roots wrapped its entire body except for its head.
Reinhard thought it looked like a cage of roots before the rabbit, then it bolted, hopping awkwardly into the undergrowth.
"How can it still move like that?" Marie asked as she furrowed her brows.
"We don't know either." Janus says softly.
"The roots really might be giving them energy to move, since normally it should be too painful or restrictive to move." Brunhidle says as she crosses her arms. "No wonder they call this place the world of too many questions and few answers."
"That's a pretty odd name." Joseph says with a blink.
