Cole I stormed out of the building, even more frustrated than when I had first entered. The Charter House had been an utter bust. The run-down house was completely empty and it looked as if even the rats had given up on the place and had moved out, leaving the shabby building to spiders and the ghosts of the past.

Jake painfully sought Baby Zetty for confirmation as he said, “Ms. Rozette, there was a plague a few years ago in Sacred Land. Everyone who got the plague had tons of bloody holes in their bodies, and they said that their wounds were rat bites. None of the people who got the plague survived.” When Jake said this, his eyes were filled with indignation. “But I secretly checked on the people who got the plague back then and found that their bodies all have a similar bloodied hole on the back of their heads. So I suspect that the event was not a natural disaster but something caused by humans.” When Baby Zetty heard this, her eyes were overwhelmed with sympathy. It turned out the people of Sacre

It wasn’t Betty who answered this time. Nanny Tessa stepped closer to me, her hands twisting in her apron, her eyes glistening. She tried to compose herself but her voice wavered. “Sabrina… Polly is gone. She…she caught the plague.” Her words caused hit my hard, and I stumbled back, my mind reeling. Plague? No. What plague? “What Plague?” I whispered with wide eyes, not coming to terms with what I had just heard. Tessa’s tears spilled freely now as she continued. “We don’t know where it came from or how to cure it.

Apparently, since I was a Queen now, I had to have my chambers all to myself. Ever since the incident with the septic happened, nobody had been in a normal state again. Since nobody knew what it was, no one was willing to get infected. And at the moment, it wasn't a good time to travel, otherwise many would have moved to another city. Because the epidemic disease had spread all over the world. Words reached us that it has almost wiped out a whole village in the northern part. Some very few left their towns to seek protection and refuge in Talot, and I allowed them to.

So much for hope. Lala heard, in groggy disbelief, unable to move very much for the sewn-up gash running from below her heart to the top of her groin in a black and red single rail line, as Porsche spluttered over the new 5G conspiracy theories. New age Luddites were burning down telecommunications masts, an act inspired by the rumour that the Chinese network was the cause of the coronavirus pandemic. Lala slumped. Porsche droned on, almost saying the word ‘shit’ as he described the treatment rubbed into the lanced buboes of plague victims.

“Let see. I hope I still got those Pixie dusts we need for that elf. He’s still not going to die though, just have to rest. I could feel Margarette’s spell on him but there’s just a fragment left.” “Wait I don’t get it. Why would you run out of Pixie dusts?” “Oh you missed out on a lot when you were gone, Marga. Just five years ago, a plague, known as the ‘black plague’ killed pixie’s race to extinction. They were said to drain the dusts out of pixies.” “But without dusts, they’ll die..” Margarette gasped. “Exactly. No one can help them. They won’t tell what was happening with them. They just said the plague would be repeated if they utter a word.” The clangs and clinks of his search stopped

“Then we need to figure out why. Before it’s too late.” We turned back toward the house but I didn’t shake the feeling. That this house, the one that had withstood wars, betrayal, fire had just opened its gates to one of the horse men of the apocalypse. Plague. And something was already rotting from the inside.

“I saw her walking towards the forbidden library two days ago, while the war was going on but after the way the maid was nowhere to be found not even her body, so I check and found her dead in the room, we don't know how long she had it or who has taken it from her, but we need to keep this matter locked down and everyone should be checked by the doctor” “What is this?” Sir James asked very confused “The plague. We haven't heard or seen it since the last century. Kiel, get the hospital check everyone in the pack and in the palace. Everyone should burn a fire in every corner of their houses, those who have gotten the plague should be kept in the west warehouse until they eventually pass” “Can

Vincent The sight that met us as we drove into the ghostly village had us recoiling in shock. This was ground zero. Where the virus resurfaced after its recorded end in 2003. There were more dilapidated buildings, more sick and hungry people with worse symptoms, more decaying dead bodies all over the place. It was really bad.

“This is a beautiful yet deadly item. Once it’s broken and the thing inside comes in contact with skin, the infection will begin.” Rowena’s pale face looked even paler. After years of living in Stoslo, she had heard about that, but that was from over 30 years ago. She didn’t expect that the epidemic in Stoslo those years ago hadn’t been an accident but caused by people! Seeing how scared she was, Daniel smiled. “Don’t worry, this is the last of this deadly item, and there are no long antidotes for it. Once infected, the only thing to do is to wait for death to come. It won’t even be detected at the hospital.”
