A Terrifying Encounter

Magna bent down and picked up the shining object hidden among the bushes.

It looked like a ring, made of what seemed to be silver, with a striking red gem set right in the center, sparkling with a light of its own.

It also looked fairly dirty, like it had been sitting there for quite a while.

'Wonder if this is worth anything.'

It didn't look like something a villager or hunter would own. It had the look of jewelry meant only for nobles.

He slipped it into his pocket, planning to check its value later, then kept searching the area for anything else.

Before long, something else in the bushes caught his eye.

"Hey, isn't that…" He bent down and pulled a large piece of fine red cloth out from the bushes, and what he saw left him stunned.

What he was holding in his hands was a Witch Hat.
