Chapter 61

My mind is reeling, going a million miles a minute, we have to tell the King about this but that could mean risking Roro, because I have figured out she's friends with a Witch and the King will too, and who knows what consequences she may face because of it.

Although it's not like we have anything against Witches on a personal level it's just frowned upon for some reason or the other.

I help Roro take the trunk into her house and store it as she says she prefers to be the one to keep it as she can handle it if it somehow manages to escape although it is very unlikely.

I follow her to the kitchen and she busies herself making something to eat and I sit at the island and watch her move around, she offers me a beer which I take and sip from it " this friend of yours, can she truly be trusted Roho? " " well Alpha, the most I can say is that I trust her, she's very motherly to me and has never given me a reason to doubt her "

" So you don't think this could be some kind of over time plot to gain your trust and then exploit you in some kind of way? " she chuckles then turns to me carrying a plate of spaghetti with minced meat and places it in front of me " exploit me in what way Alpha? what could I possibly have to offer her? "

" Roro, come on " " it's fine but there's no such plan Alpha " she gets her own plate and sits on the opposite side of the island and we eat, damn her food is always so damn good.

" There is a place, it's a chamber of sorts a place I can not take you or anyone else nor will I tell you or anyone else where it is but this place has a gate way so to speak that can take you to other places and I went to where those creatures dwell, I was shown a book by my friend and at first the book was empty, I flipped through the pages and there was nothing, just a few words on the very first page of the book "

She takes another bite of her food and eats before continuing " now after I read those words I fell into a memory or a vision I should say, I was taken back to the war, I saw the creatures they battled, the Witches that turned the tide and helped them win the war and I saw when the Alpha King killed the leader of the Reapers Nation "

I dropped my fork " Ro, you're not saying what I think you're saying " " what do you think I'm saying Alpha? " so the King was right, the Reapers Nation are back " you said you saw the Alpha King kill the leader? " " yes, I'll be honest with you, they were losing that war, because they managed to tamper with nature and darken the skies so the creatures were able to fight at their full potential using Dark WItches, it was a group of White Witches that alligned and formed a magic circle and chanted to clear the skies and that is what gave them the chance to win to war, the King used the opportunity to find and kill the leader by severing his head after cutting him down with his sword but something though, while they King was distracted I saw something, no idea what it was but it cut off a piece of the Kings cape and slithered away with it "

" That was an odd thing to do " " I know right! "

" Anyway after I came to I was taken to that place, there is a castle and there are houses and caves where these creatures live, I believe I saw their leader but before I could truly get a good look, I think he scented me so we had to run "

" This is really a lot to take in Red, so how does the Jablesse come into play did you kidnap her from that place? "

" No, I caught her in the woods, that's another story, there was a group of Rogues who went by where my friend lives and we overheard them talking about going to meet a woman who told one of them to come to see her and bring friends so she and her friends can show them a good time, one of them was skeptical but went along with them still anyways, after a bit, they came running back and were being chased by the Jablesse and some jackolanterns "

" Push pause please, Jackolanterns? As in pumpkins? " " no, uhm look there are Jablesse as you have seen " " right " " there's also Jackolanterns which are balls of fire, Rounce which you also have seen, the demon pig, Soucouyant which drinks blood, they are similar to Vampires but not the same, we also have Jumbie which are lost souls of the dead that still roam "

I take a deep breath and finish the rest of my beer, I need to process " it's a lot to take in I know, how about we stop here for today and continue tomorrow, I wanna go do a bit of training " " okay, let's do that, thank you for dinner " " you're welcome Alpha "
