Description
- No seriously I mean it, it is that direction

The fog had caught him off guard.
He had walked wrong somewhere, now he couldn't find his way out.
It was as if the forest had swallowed him.
And then, just as he thought he couldn't be more stressed, he had met her.
He had met Huldra.
All the stories had flashed before his eyes.
About men being led astray, and to their death.
About children being stolen and swapped for hers.
He had felt the hairs in the back of his neck stand on end.

- Lead you astray huh? And how did you imagine I would do that? You have already seen my tail.
- Huh?
- Did it ever cross your mind that that kind of “hunting” is dependent on you thinking I am human?
- ....
- Of course it didn't…. Look, I am not interested, you can safely trust me. The way out of the forest is that way. It was that way earlier, and it's still that way.

For the third time he had gone directly the opposite direction of her pointing finger.

- Heh… of course… see you in a bit I guess.

He would not let her misguide him. That was the mantra. As he had kept walking into the trees, and over the brooks, the meadows, and bogs.
Some of it had felt similar to what he had already seen.
But that was to be expected in the forest with limited vision right.
Right?
Wait a minute.
He was sure he had seen that builder before.
And then, there she stood.

- You are doing this!
- You think I am controlling the weather?
- What?
- You are walking in circles. It is easily done in the fog. You could do that without me here. If you were to go where I say though… Which for the record is away from me… So think about that… You would find back to the road. Which will lead you in only two possible directions.

He could feel her yellow eyes bore deep into his soul.
None of the stories had mentioned those….
Why not?
Wordlessly he had turned to walk opposite of what she said again.
She had laughed.

- Sure…. You do that. Very clever….
