Once all the villagers had returned to their homes, the village chief took the initiative to guide Jeremy and Ritchie to a secluded location.
This place was situated at the farthest end of the village, beyond which lay a vast river.
"This is the safest area within the village." the chief stated calmly to Jeremy.
"You can conduct your séance here without the fear of being disturbed."
Jeremy nodded in acknowledgment and then began to arrange the séance ritual.
As Jeremy was setting up the elements for the séance, Ritchie found himself staring blankly in the direction of the great river.
Ritchie noticed that there seemed to be a series of shadows lurking beneath the surface of the river. Furthermore, those shadows appeared to be aware of their presence.
"Chief, I would like to inquire if there is anything peculiar about that river."
Ritchie asked with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
