BarnDiana began to pace after hearing from the old witch that Damian and Tommy went to Aya's cabin to rescue her. It was an outrageous intention especially with the Goblins everywhere. But Aya had convinced her not to worry, as she already sent a flock of birds to advise them to come back. While waiting, Aya told her to take a rest and gave her a goblet of fresh blood.Meanwhile, a bald woman with raw stitches in her scalp was shearing off Lanah’s and Cavin's hair. She was dressed in a dark kilt and black cloak like the other local woman at the barn. The bald woman's face was blank as she ran the razor over Lanah's head, which was held inert by a cloth strap looped around her brow. She was laid in a makeshift bed fitted with other sashes that bound her wrists to the side and her ankles to the bed legs. Another woman was preparing a salve of herbal mixture. She asked about it and Aya told her that it was needed to make sure that Cavin and Lanah's would be trapped on their body after t
"But you know better than that Lucinda, we all know that right now she is the most important person in our community. After all, he was the only one who could open the portal to the underworld." Sullivan kept smiling. “I assure you, Lucinda, even Camellana tried to open it with the codex of the demons but she couldn't. She failed, and those rumors that some dark sorcerers of the church were able to open the portal with their version of the codex were all rumors and lies, to threaten us. Oh well! It's quite relevant. Didn’t you wonder how I learned that it was just a mere ploy? It’s because, like yourself Lucinda, I have spies everywhere and right now I am ahead of you in any way."Lucinda was deafeningly quiet for the first few minutes. She didn't do anything but stare at the orange glow that seemed to be buzzing more and more, not moving a muscle. The other chief, expressing their dissatisfaction, swung their head back and forth, their gaze alternating between Lucinda and Diana. It w
It's far more difficult to hide from your other hidden havens, such as Aya's farm and the Battleaxe tribe. If some of you manage to get past them, the Goblin will be able to track you down. And you just have a little more than three days until my dark force comes after you. So, after breaking through the farm's magical barrier and studying the grounds, we've determined that the situation is as follows...” Sulu takes one step back and inhales deeply, and his face becomes smaller against the blazing magical lamp. “Your predicament is quite challenging. But, happily, I am inclined to be of assistance to you.”Everyone sat and waited. Lucinda gave out a phony laugh, which ultimately caused her to lose her cool. Even though she was looking in a different direction than Sulu, her voice remained as serene as the beginning of spring, as if her heartbeat had remained steady. That was just the way the old witch was, born tranquil, and there was nothing anyone could do to change her or make her
Five miles south of Redberg Village, Damian and the four enormous Goblins trotted their forces back to the farm, which was five miles away. Damian was in complete disbelief. The devious Goblin waited until all of the greatest witch warriors had left on their duty to save the human before attacking their undefended hamlet, and then the beast struck. Damian did not have the privilege of fighting them in the manner of a man or more, nor did he have the faith without the help of Tommy's wolf, and Damian was well aware of Tommy's motivation: Diana, his best friend and right now they only change to survive was to run away.Galloping so fast, away from the Goblins Damian was riding at Tommy’s wolf’s back, and right now he was lost to his thoughts. While there were millions of flakes than it would be possible to count, each one forges its own courageous way to the white dunes that were growing even taller in the blizzard. A million single flakes in the sky would be the height of insanity, bu
The Diana groups and the Battleaxe warriors set out on their journey once the storm abated. Even though Erik and Tomas' group traveled to the Dark Native Cavern in order to warn the others, they arranged to meet at the Redberg Village moor late in the evening and had intentions to mingle with the church troops who were stationed nearby to infiltrate their camp.Diana and the others were creeping through the catacombs beneath the hamlet of Redberg with Tommy and Damian. The three brothers were crawling on their backs, and Aya's bird was accompanying them as well. As they moved closer to the top of the hill, the tunnels became more congested and bordered by barriers.In the evening, Erik and Damian’s group arrived at the nearby farm; they had been waiting for the perfect moment for hours. It was decided that they would dress in peasant clothes, green tunics, and overcoats to try to fit in with the village's peasants.Then waited for the right moment to strike.Across the village square,
While the sea has lost its vibrant blue hue, the stones have lost their rusty hues, and the boats have taken on the monochrome appearance of old paintings. Even the air has a stale taste to it. A gust of wind whips salt into eyelashes and onto exposed flesh, while trams rattle and whistle along the beachside. The pope saw his soldiers and Goblins perished.However he was well aware that his time was limited, they must remain hidden and not take any chances with the rebellious supernatural. He was not going to take any more chances with waiting. He would seize what was his before it was taken away from him. His immortality. There was absolutely no time to squander! It is now necessary to summon their champion.A colossal feral Goblin, twice the size of their normal goblin knights. With nothing more than a swarm of ferocious thoughts and no trace of humanity remaining. In his former life, the champion was the best and most courageous of the Knights, and he was the first experimental kni
"Let's go back home to Aya's barn," Diana said. “I think I need to take a nap.” It was two hours later. The bodies of the pope and the priests were left hanging in the cathedral garden, where they would eventually be burned in a bonfire alongside the bodies of the other dead. As the storm retreated, the sky was already swarming with carrion eaters, who were circling the huge pile bodies of the dead. One vulture swooped down into the pope's garden and perched on the pope's bald head to gorge itself on prey.After acquiring intelligence that Sulu's forces were fleeing Redberg to escape to Munster Village Moor, Diana, Tommy, and Damian made their way back to Aya's barn.The area to the south of Munster Lake was a long way behind them. Instead of swimming in the lake, they borrowed a boat and rowed around it while they were still a league away in order to avoid being discovered. Damian and Tommy were rowing when Diana stopped them, implying that they were near the black coral bottoms, wh
Tommy and Diana visited the Dark Natives cavern, while Damian informed Aya about what had occurred at Munster Lake, as he headed to the barn.Meanwhile, Diana had requested permission from the head chief, Lucinda, to visit Celestina's chamber, where she had a large collection of manuscripts that might aid them in their quest to fight the lake monster.Lucinda agreed, and they were allowed to enter. They returned to the young witch room after taking a fresh bath and donning new tunics, but there was no time to do any more inquiry or research about the lake's gigantic creatures. Despite the fact that Tommy was eager to find the manuscript about the beast and what the creature was doing to the magical algar, he would have to wait till he found out.While Diana was busy browsing through the scrolls on Celestina's stone table, deciding which of the young witch's precious manuscripts and catalogs could be the one they were seeking for, the others went to work on their quest.When she was do
