Goat T and Cosmo Start their Journey to the Site of the Old Whiskey Chickens

That first day was colorful and bright
It was the last day that was.

Cosmo and Goat T asked two helpers to accompany them to the creek that separated the turtle pond from the forest of darkness. They needed to carry food and other supplies in case the battle was long. Their gladness for the journey only came from believing their preparations would save them. Not from their fright.

The creek flowed under the branches of the trees, which would give them cover for the long ride. Eventually, they didn’t need the thicket to conceal them. Darkness came first slowly and then totally. The darkness crept through the forest and swallowed it whole.
