After their small talk Adanna, Daliah, Ekon and Ama left the room, each giving a valid excuse.Ekon and Ama told the remaining two that they had to consult with the villagers. Daliah saying he had to pack and Adanna telling the same thing as she promised to do it for Alyssa as well.Left alone, Alyssa looked at Zane who didn't spare her a glance.He had tied his hair at his side as he sat on a reed mat resting his back on the wall. His long hair fell on his shoulder continuing to his front chest.Looking at his pale face Alyssa cleared her throat and moved in front of him. She knelt on her knees waving a hand in front of his eyes which were at that time looking at his lap."How are you feeling?" She asked trying to start a conversation. She knew he wouldn't reply to her but she had to try. She had searched for him from the fields back to the center of the village. And after all the long struggle she finally found him here at the village head's house. She didn't expect to find out th

The two girls left no details unsaid as they told the others of their lives since their young days. After all it was needed to find out exactly where they came from. It wasn't a coincidence for a double existance of two places with one name.What bothered the three men is that they knew nothing of this land. It's location or anything that could give them a clue. It was going to be a difficult quest.Fillion sat with the rest as he got busy with jotting down important facts. The ink was about to finish as he wrote those tales, the appearance of the village, the things that used to be found on it, the traditions the people followed. The food they ate. The animals that lived on it. Everything that had been said had been considered an important clue as to where they could start."Since birth, we have seen Zimicah as a normal home. If it wasn't for that storm I don't know what would have happened to us." Alyssa kept on telling the three of that place she thought she belonged."Storm?" Zane

The three men stepped into the forest, the fog still thick as it dispersed leaving a path for Zane and his two friends. It seemed as if the mist had high respects for him and had obeyed his presence leaving a narrow pathway that was clear and curved at the end. They all walked on to the opposite way from the one they had visited a while ago. Treading on the path that was created for them. "So back to your spot again." Fillion started as he looked at the familiar surroundings. He had visited the place the last time he had come by. It was about five years ago when he had thought of checking on his sickly friend. He had come mid February the time when the Chief had been desperate to handle his last born. Zane at that time, had been throwing tantrums.. cussing at the two elders. He was a head ache, but no one dared to discipline him. It would have been easy to clap his pale cheeks leaving tints of red as a mark for the lesson taught but nothing like that really happened. Words were in a

Being weary of the two creatures in front of them, Zane tightened his hold on her. Alyssa was very scared as she shivered, holding tight on his clothes. She was reminded of that serpent. Surely she wasn't ready to go through all that again.Zane observed the two giant snakes moving about in front of them. One was green with shiny scales and eyes that were black and slit. It exposed its tongue moving torwards the two. It was grotesque and made Alyssa tremble with extreme fear. The second snake was brown in colour and very slim. It's eyes were black as well. It slided on the grass hissing and shrieking at the two who were stuck to each other like glue.The two unsightly creatures advanced torwards them as they started circling around their space whilst shortening the distance between bringing in the stench from their unwashed skins. Their long tubular -like bodies almost nearing their targets.Zane knew that they had no other way out. If he really wanted to protect her then he had to t

Trust and Asha were brought inside that shaby little house. Their wrists were tied with a glimmering rope which had come from Fillion's magical hands. It restrained them from shifting or doing anything that could cause any unnecessary trouble. In other words it hindered all their chance to run away.Asha looked quite scared as he followed behind his older brother, here and there stealing gazes at the four enemies who were conversing as if planning to get rid of them. He knew that it was going to be hard to escape. Each looked very strong. Stronger than his brother who had fought with more than a hundred enemies or preys on their way here.He remembers one night, several days ago when they came across a fellow serpent near the woods in which they were caught in. They had been on their usual hunt when they ended up entering the forest. Hunt....he wouldn't really call it that because if the master were to hear him call or even breath a word like it then he would be off with his head. Tru
