THE WEST (THE GREEN RIVER) After Gastrus confirmed that the green river was behind the bushes, Elena was standing in front and every other person were standing behind her back. She pushed the bushes, parting them open so she could have access to it. She pulled it apart and walked, taking a step to the other side. Her feet touched the sands of the seashore and she closed her eyes slowly. The chirping sounds of the birds reached her ears and she opened her eyes immediately. She saw the green river ahead, the edge of her garment swept the sands as she walked further —approaching the river. She looked back and noticed that they all were awaiting a signal from her before they joined her at this side. “Join me!” Elena intoned and Gastrus was the first to walk through the bushes to join her, and the rest of them followed, trailing each other. She turned to her front —facing the river once again as she continued to walk. They reached the edge of the shore, and the sea would reach their

CAVES OF EFLIE After deciding on what to do, they had finally decided to proceed with Iasias plan. It was finalized last night after Iasias brought the idea earlier in the morning yesterday, now a new day had come upon them, and this was the day they sent their words across to Ivádia for the trade, giving them their people in return for giving the witches the Callibra. “So, here it is! There's only one thing stopping us from reaching out to the witches now, a volunteer,” said Dalmatius and Iasias got up from the rock upon which he sat. “Give me the scroll, I'll fly to Ivádia and deliver it,” Iasias said to Dalmatius as he had finished drafting the message. Iasias knew that they were all battling with the thought of who would volunteer to go and he could only make it easier for them. No one wanted to be the one to go to Ivádia, but it did not stop the fact that the message must be delivered that morning. “Are you sure about this boy?” Dalmatius asked and Iasias nodded —tucking hi

CAVES OF EFLIE After Delivering the message in Ivádia, it was night and Iasias was still on his way back to the caves as he had reached Eflie few moments ago. he saw the caves ahead of him and the dark night clouds were making it difficult to have a good view of it from the direction he was approaching the caves from. Iasias descended upon the midst of the caves. Elvio, Dalmatius and Domminick who seemed to have fallen asleep much earlier, were all coming out of their caves. “Welcome back boy!” Dalmatius yelled and Iasias nodded. They all sat and waited for him as he flew past them and landed in front of his cave. He walked in, and as he tried turning back into human, the pain which came from the injury he sustained while fighting the eccrifyte came back to him in a more excruciating way. He screamed as a result of the pain immediately he was done putting on his trousers. He lost grip of the shirt as he fell on his knees, screaming. Iasias felt every bit of the pain all over again

CASTLE OF PILIÁ Katerina believed that she was carrying a young one in her stomach, and this was the right time to proceed with the birth sacrifice. As it stands, three men needed to be executed at the execution ground. The witches were born into this belief and so did their sisters before them. The man who's child you were carrying must be slaughtered and have his blood offered to their sisters who have passed, with the intention of preventing the male involved in the conception process from getting any form of attachment to the child in their stomach. The man whom the child was for must be killed not only to prevent him from getting attached to the child when delivered, but also to prevent it from the other side. The child must not be aware of who her father was, and she must not be attached to him in anyway. Their sisters who has passed believed that the connection between father and daughter was strong enough to change the child's view on what they do and how they treat them, a

CAVES OF EFLIE IASIAS' POV Since Iasias could not lay on his bare stomach in the caves, and his back was severely injured from the fight with the eccrifyte, he slept outside last night and here he was waking up in the same position. He opened up his eyes and his eyes met the morning sun as he was resting his back on the tree and his head was slightly raised, facing the sky. He looked down from the sky and he was startled as he saw Elvio, Dalmatius, and Domminick kneeling in a close range from him. Close enough that their faces were almost an inch away from his face. “What are you all doing?” Iasias asked in shock, and they all gave him space to breath. he sighed as he rubbed his eyes, trying to erase every urge to fall asleep again. “We are worried about you, we have been waiting for you to wake up,” Domminick said and Iasias brows furrowed as he replied, “why are you worried about me?” he asked. Iasias tried to get up, but he rested his head back on the tree the moment he began
