"Holy Rings are a big deal for Digimon like me!" the Salamon with a Holy Ring explained. "They mark them as Holy-species Digimon. These rings give the Digimon great power relative to their holiness. If the Digimon loses its holiness somehow, it loses it's ring."

Cadence raised an eyebrow. "So what are you saying?" 

"What I'm saying is, if she doesn't have Holy Ring, she must have done something reeeally bad, or is possessed by something scary. I'd really rather not take my chances if it's the latter!" She then cowered behind her tamer's ankle, again.

"Well, she doesn't seem like she's really that bad. I think your just overreacting." Before Cadence had a chance to say anything else, she heard the sound of leaves rustling. There were also other people screaming along with it. Were other people nearby as well? "Hey, are you hearing those noises too, or is it just me?"
