Chapter 23: Ice Cave
The Oh situation has resolved itself.
- Message attached to a Windrider’s leg.
For three nights, The groundskeeper saw the disembodied hand scratching at the earth above the boy’s coffin, like a dog desperately trying to unearth its master. He realized that the hand was sinking deeper and deeper, until on the third night, it vanished beneath the earth.
Even though the phantom hand had vanished, the groundskeeper could swear he could almost hear the scratching of displaced earth whenever he walked by the burial site.
He swore it grew louder at night. The groundskeeper dreaded what would happen when it finally made it to it’s goal.
Four nights later, the groundskeeper returned to an empty plot of Earth, and the legend of William Oh continued.
- It’s believed that the story was a result of concealing an attempted graverobbing by the groundskeeper. Imagine his horror when the coffin didn’t have any of the Relics he’d seen William Oh buried with.
