[The Woodcarver's Curse] 38 (New Generation) Mother always says that I cannot go wandering in strange places, especially barren ones. But she doesn't understand that I'm independent. I only like places where there are no people. When I walk home with Mother from kindergarten everyday (I'm only five), we pass a forest full of strong trees. I wanted to go there. But of course, Mother forbid me from going there. She didn't even tell me the reason! So yesterday, I sneaked out when Mother thought I was doing my homework and went to the forest. At first, I hesitated. I didn't want to betray Mother! I let my curiosity take hold of me, and I went deeper and deeper into the unknown... In a bush, I noticed a small glowing thing moving... it was an otter! Wait... why was it glowing? It was a ghost otter! Mother told meto stay away from these ghost creatures because her ghost cat, Uranus had betrayed her. Who knows? Maybe mine won't! I walked closer and closer to the cute creature, when suddenly... "Adrienne! Where are you?" Oops! That's Mother. I ran to the backyard to see her calling me. "Adrienne, thank goodness. I thought you had vanished into a portal! Where had you been?" Mother asked. I lied to her saying that I had been to the park to play. She told me that she'll bring me there tomorrow. I couldn't stop thinking about that otter ever since.
What would happen next?
