two roads diverged in a haunted wood
The shadow creatures don't waste any time and attack like they are protecting something. Or perhaps they're keeping you away from the troubled spirit so you cannot save her.
For those equines who hid or tried to dodge the beasts attacks, you will find yourself engulfed by the creatures. In the blink of an eye, you will have been transported back to the outside of the forest as if nothing had happened. Somehow, the forest looks more menacing than before and clearly does not want you to re-enter.
Luckily for those who move to fight back, it proves to be the right choice. With one swipe of an attack, the shadow beasts dissipate like the fog that blanketed the forest earlier. In seconds, the shadow reforms itself into light. Its form will take the shape of something different depending on who is looking at it. You may see a small imp or a simple ball of light. There is no rhyme or reason to their forms as they possess the special magic of illusion.
As the will o' wisp lights dance and float in the air in front of you, they act much less menacing than the creatures from before. They take a moment to be near you, almost as if they're studying you. It seems tempting to touch one as they shift into different forms. They may appear as a loved one you lost.
In whichever form the light appears as, it will gesture for you to follow. In doing so, you will come upon a fork in the trees with two paths. The will o' wisp floats in the center, looking on curiously at you. Both paths lead into shadows and it's impossible to see what might be on the other end.
The faint sound of crying can be heard, but it sounds like it echoes off the trees ahead. One path surely must lead to the troubled spirit, but which one could it be?

The shadow creatures have changed into the form of will o' wisps- some type of creature of light that can change its form depending on who looks upon it. For those who did not attack the shadow creatures, they have been engulfed by the shadows and transported out of the woods and cannot return. Those who are still in the forest follow the will o' wisp to a fork in the woods showing two paths. One path will eventually lead to the troubled spirit, but it's unclear which one because they're both covered in shadows.
