Ashley snapped out of the reverie she entered when a distant glow in the corner of her eye caught her attention. She snapped her gaze towards it and blinked, surprised, at the pentagram carved onto one of the trees. It retained its glow for a second or two before vanishing completely off the bark. The symbol reappeared on a tree a few ways behind the first one, disappearing again once Ashley noticed it. This phenomenon was persistent, continuing on with each pentagram leading deeper into the forest.
