Ammon was holding Bradley to the point of death, he lay on the ground almost unconscious. The Alpha had beaten the so-called leader of the Revolutionists to a pulp when all of the sudden, Magaritha came charging at the Alpha and Eric almost at the same time. I knew that she would unleash her powers on us if we don't do something fast. I guess the Lycans realised this too. "You have to go with Loius, now before it's too late!" Said Ammon. "Look, she is enraged and will stop at nothing until she kills us all! We have to decide if we must achieve victory in this fight!""So, what are you suggesting we must do?" Asked Eric.The Alpha turned towards my direction, amid the charge that the Witch Mistress was making toward them. ", Listen, Eric, there is no time. Like I said before, we must be decisive if we must aver the impending doom on our front. I want you to take Loius and flee. Don't worry about me, I will hold her off until you escape!"At once, my heart began skipping. Does he mean
I ran away from the scene without thinking twice. I had run about a kilometre then I remembered that I forgot to bring along the magic book. I was left in a dilemma. Do I go and pick the Magic book at the expense of my life or should I forget about it entirely and save my life? That was the question I asked myself. Both alternative answers to the question did not align with my interest. The magic book was pertinent to my journey and not just that, it was equally important if the curse that was placed on the alpha by Magaritha must be destroyed. I could not make a quick decision therefore, I stood in the middle of nowhere thinking of what to do. It seemed like it was one of the few moments in my life when my mind went dull. Magaritha's threat is real and not something I will have to gamble with. Because it was not easy for me to hastily decide on the next step to take, I had no choice but to find a good spot where I will rest my head and come up with a good plan.As if good luck was o
I was about to run but then, I saw the magic book laying on the ground while Magaritha was still making a spell. I was caught between saving my life and attempting to rescue the magic book which was much close to Magaritha. Amid my hesitation to run away, the Alpha called out again as Magaritha's threats grew."What the hell are you waiting for? I thought I told you to run away? Why the delay now?" His face was not bright, not at all, as he queried. I was also uncertain about how to explain to him my reason for hesitating. I was speechless nevertheless, I signalled to him by pointing at the book. "What are you are trying to show me? Wait a minute, are you dumb now?" The Alpha was visibly angry as he asked me. "The book over there!" I pointed at the book finally. He followed the direction of where I was pointing and saw the book."Is that what you can't say out?" As I watched he made a daring move and at once he picked up the magic book and threw it in my direction. Magaritha was yet
They all kept silent and stared at me for as long as they could. They could not talk but they can move. I really can't tell what the hell was going on! Was I hallucinating? It remains a question, I could not answer. I walked closer to one of the men. He was a talk huge man probably in his thirties. He stared at me as I approached him but did little to nothing. His colleagues also did nothing but kept gazing at me. Such as strange scenes! I wondered what was going on. Are these people real or was someone trying to mess up with my head? It was questioned, I cracked my head to answer but, no answer seemed to be coming at the moment.Suddenly, another thought came to my mind. I decided to try new things this time around. I glanced at the young man in front of me for a few seconds before deciding to do the unthinkable. I step on his toes with all my weight on his, to see if my action will elicit a response from him. He did nothing but, stared at me as I match his toes. It was supposed to
I kept a quite long distance from the men lest they attack me, after breaking their spell."Spell unknown, powers in the wind summoned! caught and Caged, these men in powers unknown! Break and free, thy spell anonymous! Mobility restored, speed off the young Witch from Muldoch! Cast thee out, I command. Blood and flesh conjure! Wind and rain conjure! Energy flows here and stops not. Break and shatter in pieces! One-blood Witch, conjure and release, so mote it be!" The spell worked but, I never stayed back to see them recover fully. I rode off with the stolen horse and supplies as quickly as possible, lest they regroup and give me a hot chase like never before in my life!I rode for hours until I became sure that I was no longer in the Dengek forest. It was such a big relief when I looked back and discovered that no one was coming after me. I slowed down so that the horse can gather some strength before, we speed off again. Dotham was still quite far and by now, I was beginning to th
It was confusing! I did nothing but stared at the set of foods on the table. Seconds passed by! Minutes passed by but still, there was no sign of anyone around. The more I gazed at the delicious food on the table, the more it reminds me of how hungry I was at the moment. Although I stole some bread from the men I met earlier, I wasn't opportune to stop for a minute to eat. This was the moment I had to eat. Still unsure of what to do, I inched closer because the temptation to lay my hands on the food was growing stronger. I never rule out the fact anything could have when I began to eat the food. It could something bad or good, I'm not sure but, I had the feeling that something was gonna happen.At last, my feet and hands obeyed the order from my brain, I moved closer and sat at the table and placed one of my hands on the plate containing some dried meat. It was the last thing I wished for myself but, the impulse was too much for me to handle.I picked one of the pieces of dried meat,
"I seek a cure! I seek help!" I was cut short by yet another interrogation."And from who do you seek all these?" He stared at me intently."I'm looking for a sorcerer named Deborah!" I confessed at last.At first, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. I had no reason whatsoever to explain why he was acting in that manner. "Deborah?""Yes, Deborah!" I affirmed."Yes of course, who does not know or heard about Deborah of Dotham? She is a popular figure. Everyone knows Deborah as one the greatest sorcerer that lived.""Really?" I raised my eyebrows in reaction to his confession. Maybe the man does not mean any harm. It was the time he did appear to sound positive, with regard to the question I had asked."Yes, we all know Deborah!" He paused for a few seconds before resuming. "Dotham! Is that where you are headed to? You are going Dotham to see Deborah?""Yes, I'm going to Dotham!" I knew he was about to make more confessions about the destination of my journey. I was eager to hear more f
"Oh, that!" I pointed at my belly region as I was still confused about what he was referring to. Of course, I knew he was talking about the Magic book which I have held close to my body ever since I arrived at the strange home."Yes! That thing on your belly! What's that?" He looked at it inquisitively, while waiting for me to explain.I was very careful not to make the mistake of the past. I could remember that the last time someone discovered the magic book in my hands, I nearly lost my life and for Ammon and Eric, it wasn't too good for both of them either. Mr Jacob or whatever he calls himself is an individual I'm yet to trust. Anything could happen, I never rule that out therefore, I had to be very careful."Oh, about this?" I pointed at the Magic book again as if I was still naive."Yes!" He affirmed for the second. He never took his eyes off me."Well, it's a book! Just a book for my reading pleasure and that's all. It's not even interesting so, don't even ask me more about it
