"Leave freely now while you still can." I left her from the position she stood in and turned back to leave, instantly got encountered with a septic.
"Watch out!" The strange lady screeched out, but I wasn't surprised by the sudden visit of those septics. I had even cured one the other day at the palace. All I needed to do was just to get closer to him and make a direct contact. Then he would be cured. He dragged forward, with multiple long snakelike related creatures dangling on his head. "Are you crazy, your Majesty!" I heard her yelled from below but still chose to ignore. These infected people weren't too deadly as others have been exaggerating. They were just people. I slowly approached the man to let my hand rest on his skin for just a brief moment.
Three more feet left, and it would all be over. His eyes were already dead and every shade the sky possessed from dawn until dusk, in his dead eyes, they were black
Four weeks ago:~******"But, I need you. You need me to solve the issue with these septic. Then, your blood, you, you're so powerful." She stared at me like I were a breakfast, lunch and dinner to a person who hadn't had any meal in lots of years back."Leave freely now while you still can."

Following Tara to the door I thought about who must have been desperately trying to break down our door.Tara slowly reached for the door and opened it gently. Standing grumpily in front of us was a burly figured bald man. Glancing at him, I quickly observed an ornamented sewing of a black serpent on his chainmail amour. A knight you might say, but no ordinary one. He was a member of the keepers. The bald Knights. Even the women always were too. It was believed that they had to get all form of impurities so one can be pure and cleared from their sins. Like that made any of them less corrupt."Took you long enough!"he scolded, his cold eyes fixed on us.Those bastards!Tara tried to reply stammering through her words "s..s-so sorry sir -""Are you trying to talk back miss?" He questioned quickly, interrupting Tara.Jus
"Kerik you're not expecting anyone, are you?" Tara finally asked, making use of her words and immediately walking straight to the door."I know I'm a lot of things, but I don't keep insane humans as friends."Following Tara to the door I thought about who must have been desperately trying to break down our door.Tara slowly reached for the door and opened it gently.

**** Sending final goodbyes to Ragnila after persuading her to run for her dear life I trotted down the devil's den. Again. Unlike the last time, creeping back here only sent a chill down my spine. This time I was scared. What if something bad had happened to her. I could never forgive myself. Fenrel really had no heart. He was more cold than an ice. He killed for fun,destroys lives mainly because he could. I was starting to know him better now. If only I had known more from the beginning. He was already waiting for me at the entrance, smiling mischievously. The last time I didn't have any plan. Now, there was just one goal. To kill him!Spreading his arms widely as one does to greet one's beloved."Welcome back my dear Kerik" he teased,coming closer to me.He really wanted to die." Where's she? ""Who?"

Four weeks after :~There's nothing in this world that is more insane than searching for your own sanity, long after you've lost it... Why wouldn't I loose it? Life has never for once gone easy on me. And why would it? When all I'd ever done was to hurt all those that were around me. Why the bloody hell would life go easy on me!They say the name, Kerik, meant 'the strong one'. The strong one? Well, if strong meant loosing your own sanity after you accidentally loose it. Or letting your mind get away with murder on you every second of your life. Or when the demons in you, decides to drag you into the eternal darkness, into fire and ice. Maybe all of that means being strong. Maybe as the darkness gets too dark, the sun burns and dies with it because being strong meant never to see the sun shine any longer. I was now a prisoner. Prisoner of my own burden, of my pain and never ending suffering, with no one to come to my rescue.
"Four weeks after, and we still haven't found the cure." Tobin complained as he angrily bit the piece of apple he had in his hand. He always had what is it that you call it, uh, anger issues. But wasn't he right after all? The septic were still septic. No changes at all."Well, luckily, after more than eighteen patients being tested and revived on, we're all still save and healthy." Peter went on to add, even after he knew it would only upset Amelia over here. Without even noticing, I suddenly found myself, shaking shoulder to shoulder, creepily muting my voice from exploding further as I chuckled first, then started grinding from ear to ear before finally bursting out in laughter. On a normal term, Peter's statement or dry joke if you ask me, wasn't even supposed to have provoked a bit of laughter in me. But could you have blamed me?
Live had been what we call a living hell for all of us at Talot, like walking straight towards the gates of the underworld. More of the villagers had turned into the septics, making the rest of us that were saved and not turned really few, as if a tiny drop in an ocean. We'd had to protect the inner walls from corrupting with the outsiders. At one point I accepted others from other kingdom to dwell in with us, for protection and provision of shelter and food. I'd done that with a pure heart without any hint of doubt or regret. Now, with the rate of which other corrupted people had filled Talot, it was slowly starting to become close to unbearable. Scarcity of food had hit us harder than a solid rock. The only source of meat we had left after the keepers took all from us, was just the people from Tobin's place. Ever since they'd dared cross their boundary with me, and lost Tobin to me, they'd done nothing but made the kingdom a pain in the ass. They said I will not bow to them. Haha!
