They were almost a day's travel past the wasteland hills before Dave relaxed. He made their traveling days shorter and went easier on the wild mares. Dave tames the two animals according to their need and in no time they were galloping it. Unlike natural herds, these mares were every color, shape, and size. The only thing each had in common was the halter it wore on its head for easy catching.
Was this truly happening? Could this be what life had in store for her today? After everything else that is thrown at her now, she had to deal with this too?“You've got to be kidding me,” Catherine thought her body filling with adrenaline.
“Darn, it! Dave, what the hell was that?” Catherine asked. A nervous tone in her voice followed by a panic on her mind, as she turns head darting in every niche of the mountain. Her vision again blurring and yet accompanied by the humming of her brain as she warmed up her fire, heart beating faster, ready for any unwanted attack.
“Please tell me I'm wrong, is that Vnee Medea?” She asked, after a few seconds a contorted expression appeared on her face.“Sadly, yes that's her!” He replied then hold his breath, he doesn't want to anger the healer, he knows better than that.
Blood rumbled through Sean's head, his chest felt too laden, the shadows engulf him from all over around him, his breathing stopped, his heart stammered, dark spots danced before his eyes, and for the life of him, he could not move to turn his head. He felt frozen to the spot, yet he could hear Vnee Medea's angry shouting “You are nothing to me, human, this cave will trap you forever!”
Catherine stood up. She had listened to every syllable of Sean's questions, and it conveys troubles. “This is Dave, my friend who assists you and saves your ass by the way so don't give me that look.”“Your friend?” Sean trailed off then
The next morning, an eerie silence settled over the mountain of Woodland. The extensive howling sound of the unnatural wind ceased in unison. Birds of prey and land predators stalking their next meal froze in place as though aware of the great unknown power, appearing from above the mountains. The sounds, the movement, all the signs of life that filled the dawn light just halted. The wildlife knew what was happening.

The wildlife knew what was happening.The mountain on the right side of the cottage stood above the valley of the northernmost tip of the Icy Cave Mountain. It was the tallest peak in the area. Crowned with snow most of the quarter of the year and was known for its heavy dew and its evergreen trees that peppered the region.Lady Kristy gestured towards Catherine to the garden shed, then she took Catherine's hand and pointed into the little stool. They sat and talked about their next plan. "Catherine I think you should know by now about your healing ability.""What hea
Maybe it was them showing respect, or maybe they were too eager to look at what was coming. Lady Kristy believed that Dave's soul left his body like a gust of air, and the most important thing was to bring his body to the underworld as fast as possible, so his soul could get there safely. His body was anointed in oil and wrapped in a shroud, a coin was placed under his tongue to be given to the ferryman of the underworld river, the boundary between their world and the underworld. Together with the other fallen, they buried them under the heat of the afternoon sun.Jerome's men were wearing a fresh cream wool sweater. The silence settled as they entered the little shed in the center of the garden one by one, paying their respect.Sean held Catherine's shaky hand the whole time. She wiped her tears onto her sleeve and lounged on his shoulder. All the memories came flooding back like a tidal wave. Dave's face seemed so alive and happy, and she couldn't
