Keanu and Melvin had retreated to the peaceful backyard of Dàinn's house, seeking a momentary respite from the whirlwind of events that had unfolded recently. The gentle rustling of leaves and the distant sounds of nature seemed like a soothing symphony in the tranquil setting.
As they lounged on the patio furniture, sipping on cool glasses of iced tea, they began to exchange anecdotes and lighthearted banter, attempting to temporarily forget the ominous presence of The Blue Moon.
However, their tranquil interlude was soon interrupted by a series of peculiar noises emanating from the forest that bordered the property. Keanu's keen wolf-like hearing perked up at the sound, his expression becoming more attentive.
Melvin too furrowed his brow, his psychic senses on high alert. The noises were unlike anything they had heard before, a dissonant blend of eerie whispers and faint, ethereal laughter that seemed to dance on the edge of their perception.
