(The previous poll has a definitive vote, proceeding with the next portion!)

While unsure of your current predicament, you remember you have something that could help. You fish around in your pocket and pull out the pocketwatch. You flick it open and watch as the minute hand focuses in onto the wilderness. You look at the bunny who shrugs his shoulders and the two of you begin your trek down.

You walk a dirt path that soon is littered with cobble stone. The buildings around you are decrepit and none of them seem to have anything in them that isn't rotting or falling apart. The castle soon towers overhead and the stone structure sway in the wind. You spot flags that seem new amongst the ones that are dull and riddled with holes. You look around and see traces of battle, spears and rusted swords spread out along the trail. It's quiet, much, much, much quieter than the circus. It's just the sound of wind, water flowing, and crows. You both take your time treading carefully and quietly, hoping not to disturb anything. Soon enough, you are at a crossroads.

You peer to the left and look into the dark forest, you feel a shiver creep up your spine. Dead trees line the outer entrance to the forest. The bunny looks at you, "A-a-are you sure? I-I get a r-r-really bad feeling just looking at-at-at that direction.."

You can't shake the feeling that you agree. Though the pocketwatch points at a destination, the journey isn't always as straight-forward as it seems.

> Change course to the castle.
> Follow the pocketwatch.
