“I am not an old lady! I am a pretty, young, and vibrant Queen of the forest! No one should call me that! If only I could lay my hands on it, I would return to my previous glory, and become the woman I used to be.” Adriana sighed in regret while she kept her hands in the air, wiggling her fingernails that seemed like the claws of a deadly animal.

“I apologize once again, beautiful Adriana. Please, just let my friends and I leave. We promise to go far far away from here, never to be seen anywhere close to these paths again!”

“It’s a little too late for that, Jack. With everything that you have seen, I think your words cannot be trusted. There is no way I am believing whatever comes out from the mouth of Humans again!”

“I swear! I won’t tell anyone about this! We won’t tell anyone about this! We were just trying to navigate our way through the woods when we stumbled upon your hut.”

Adriana sniggered at Jack who wondered if what he said was funny while he waited patiently for her to e

    “What?” Jack was shocked beyond expectation, and when he attempted to pick the blade up, she waved both of her hands at the same time, and a heavy force pushed Jack to the ground, causing him to grunt in pain. “I warned you! I told you to drop that stupid weapon of yours, but you refused to listen!” Adriana started to walk toward Jack who whimpered in pain while he attempted twice to get up from the ground. “There is something about you, I don’t know what it is, but there is definitely something about you.” Adrianna’s voice lowered as she continued walking toward Jack who managed to crawl backward in an attempt to get away from her. His companions continued to muffle inaudible words, but none of that mattered as Jack’s entire attention was geared toward the old witch who was about to do something terrible to him. “Your friends were very easy to get, it was easy to feed on their fears, especially that silly Centaur who doesn’t know how to make use of the sword in his sheathe. But y

    “With the medallion, I will remain young forever, and I will go back to my post glory. You have no choice, Human. Bring me the medallion or your friends will die really painful deaths!” “But I can’t tell where the dimension is! I don’t even know how to read a map!” “You will learn…” “What?” Jack’s eyes widened, and his eyelids furrowed while he thought about the words she spoke to him. Adrianna turned toward Dwayne, still pointing the edge of her dagger at Jack who remained still, not ready to take any indecisive action that could lead to a fatal consequence. With her powers, Adrianna caused the map lying close to Dwayne to move toward her, floating in the air until she grabbed it instantly the moment it got closer to her. “Here is the map…” She threw it at Jack who couldn’t catch it before it landed on his body, and fell to the ground. “Open it, and go through it, I am sure you will figure it out.” She instructed with an imperative tone while Jack grabbed the map and unwrapped

    Jack stared anxiously at Adrianna as she stood in front of Lucy who seemed very anxious and couldn’t take her eyes away from the dagger the witch was holding in front of her. Slowly, Adrianna lifted the dagger to Lucy’s face and touched her cheek with it, causing her to shiver profusely while she bent her head to be able to get a better view of the sharp edge dagger that almost pierced her skin. Lucy whimpered in pain as Adrianna pushed the dagger a little bit deeper into her skin while she sniggered with her dirty set of teeth showing fully. “Maybe a little motivation will grant you the kind of courage you need to do what I have asked you!” Adrianna said to Jack without turning to look at him while she kept her eyes on Lucy who was trying to say something to her but ended up muffling her words as a result of the piece of clothing used to tie her mouth. “What are you doing? Don’t hurt her!” Jack couldn’t bear watching Lucy bear the pain from the sharp edge of the dagger the witch

    Sierra and Vince kept their eyes on Dwayne and the sight of him almost dying as a result of the witch's tight grip on his neck caused them to breathe frantically while their hearts raced to unknown destinations. “Please, Adrianna! I beg you! Let him go.” Jack pleaded again, and luckily, Adrianna listened, turning to look at him. “I like you, Jack. You are always willing to do the needful, but that’s a very wrong way to live if you want to survive in this cruel world.” Adrianna smirked at Jack, and then she let go of Dwayne who muffled his coughs after he gasped loudly, and panted while struggling to regain his breath. Adrianna looked at Dwayne for a while, and after she had given him a painless slap on his left cheek, and turned to Jack and started walking up to him with the dagger ahead of her.“I will do whatever you want, Adrianna. Don’t hurt them.” Jack said in an attempt to convince her not to harm any of his companions, but she ignored him and continued moving after him. Jac

    Realizing that what he said unexpectedly worked out for him, Jack decided that he was going to stick with it even though he felt a cringe all over him as a result of saying the things he didn't mean to say to her. “You think I am beautiful?” Adrianna asked with her rough and scanty brows lifted to form a furrow while Jack stood almost frozen in front of her with his eyes avoiding a stare at Seth who was slowly getting closer with every passing second. “What are you looking at?” Adrianna said with a low tone, and then she tried to turn around to look toward the direction of the other adventurers she tied to trees when she realized that Jack was distracted. “Yes! I think you are very beautiful!” Jack continued anxiously, looking at Adrianna who was forced to remain the way she was the moment she heard him say she was beautiful. “You are the most beautiful Enchantress I have ever seen, Adrianna! I love the way you smile, it reminds me of the sun, his lovely it is.” Jack was surprised

    He looked at Seth whose appearance was the only solace that he and at that moment, and he urged him to hurry with whatever he was about to do. Fortunately, Seth was not his usual self at that moment, and the rest of the adventurers were glad that he wasn’t shaking like a leaf while he lifted his sword and stood a few inches behind the old witch who was completely unaware of what was going on behind her. With his hands still holding onto Adrianna with firm grips, Jack managed to pull her a bit closer to himself while still struggling with her bad breath and awful appearance. He looked at Seth who was ready to take a strike, and then he made his grip tighter and looked behind the witch to look at Seth. “Seth, now!” He continued holding onto Adrianna while Seth forcefully plunged his sword through her back with both hands, causing the other end to come out through her back. “What have you done?” Adrianna screamed in pain while she looked at Jack who instantly let go of her, allowing

    The sound of Adrianna’s voice caused the five adventurers to turn to look at her. She was still on the floor, grunting in so much pain, and when she attempted to crawl toward another corner of the hut, her strength failed her, and she remained in her position. “We need to leave,” Dwayne said to the others, and then he managed to bend down slowly to pick up the map from the floor before taking a step toward the exit of the hut. Succumbing to the bruises all over his body, he staggered after making a second attempt to walk, almost falling to the ground. Jack was able to catch him before he fell, and he held onto him firmly with both hands. “Come on, this way…” Jack helped Dwayne to move toward the exit of the hut, and when he was sure that he had gotten a grip on himself, he let him go and hurriedly picked up his energy blade before he joined the others who had rushed out of the hut. “Hurry, Jack!” Lucy called out to him the moment she saw him coming out from the hut, and he hastene

    “I am glad I could help. The witch thought she had managed to put me to sleep, but she forgot that Centaurs do not fall completely to the effects of witchcraft and magic. We are magical creatures, and magic hardly works on us…” “That’s right, I was beginning to imagine how you were able to escape from her…” Lucy said with a nod that showed that she had fully understood what had happened, and her curiosity settled. “This isn’t right…” Dwayne whispered to the hearing of everyone as he looked at the map he was holding with both hands and looked down the cliff where the water flowed down to the other side. “What is it, Dwayne?” Sierra asked with a whisper, but he was silent while he tried to figure out the strange occurrence he had witnessed at that time. “This can’t be right, this must be a mistake.” “What is it, Dwayne? What did you see?” Lucy asked curiously as she drew closer to him, and peeped at the map to figure out what he was worried about. Seth drew closer almost immediate

    Jack took in a deep breath which he exhaled sharply, and while everyone remained calm, waiting for him to continue, he resumed speaking with a calm but resonant voice. “I forgive you, Vince. I guess you were acting based on impulse even though you shouldn’t have attacked me that way. I hope this teaches you a life lesson.”“Certainly, it has. I have learned that things may not always be the way they seem, Jack. What just happened has taught me a very important lesson.” Vince said with a low tone, he paused for less than five seconds, and when he was sure that Jack was still listening, he continued. “I know better now, Jack. I promise not to ever do that again.” “Good, that’s all that matters.” Jack nodded with a smile on his face, and when he turned to look at Sierra, he sighed heavily. “I forgive you all, the both of you. I just hope that you are not going to do this again.” “We won’t, Jack. That’s a promise. I have realized my mistakes, and I am ready to make amends.” Sierra sa

    Overwhelmed by the guilt that cringed him like a volcanic eruption, Vince took in a deep breath which he let out slowly, and when he was certain that he had summoned enough courage, he slowly started walking toward Jack who only gave him a quick glance before he bent his face and grunted angrily. “I am really sorry, Jack. Please forgive me.” Vince apologized with a low tone, but Jack ignored him, unable to forget the fact that he was determined to kill him a few minutes earlier. He tried to accept his apology at once, but he was too upset to easily forgive him without expressing himself at least. “What happened? Why is Vince apologizing to Jack?” Sierra asked Lucy who took a step backward before she sighed heavily. “Jack was the one who saved you, he gave you a substance in a bottle to drink. Vince thought he had killed you, and tried to avenge your death.” Lucy explained with a whisper, looking in at Sierra who was shocked and dumbfounded at the same time. At that moment, she was

    “I tried, okay? I tried to stop him, but he is too stubborn! I can’t do anything, Lucy! I have my own problem to worry about!” Dwayne blurted out at once, still grunting inwardly while he looked at Vince who had made two other failed attempts to strike Jack with his spear. “What are you afraid of? huh? Fight me, Jack! Fight me like a man! You just killed two men and my sister! I am sure that taking one more life would mean nothing to you! Fight me! Are you scared?” Vince roared as he marched angrily at Jack who sighed heavily while he watched him get closer with each fast limp he made. Jack’s intention was just to defend himself and never hurt the Elf, but he was afraid that he was going to have to choose between himself and Vince who refused to budge. “You need to stop this, Vince! You are making a very terrible mistake! I don’t want to hurt you! I don’t want to hurt you!” Jack continued to restrain himself from hurting the elf who was not thinking of any other thing but his vende

    Eventually, Vince gave in, and reluctantly let go of Jack’s hands while he looked at his sister whose life was fading away gradually. “This better work or I am going to kill you myself! I don’t care if you have that weapon or not!” Vince threatened, staring at the blazing sword which lay on the ground close to Jack. “Hurry, Jack! She is almost dying!” Lucy called Jack’s attention to Sierra who had stopped jerking, giving signs that she was about to die. Quickly, Jack leaned forward to her and poured some of the content of the healing oil into her mouth while Lucy helped him keep her mouth open just before she forced her to swallow it. They waited for a few seconds amidst the panic that engulfed them, but nothing happened. Jack looked at the bottle in his hand, and when he returned his gaze to Sierra, he saw that she was not moving, and he became very nervous. “I think you should give her more! Maybe that wasn’t enough!” Lucy suggested, and just when Jack was about to do what she

    “Jack! Watch out!” Lucy shouted as soon as she saw the two savage men moving slowly toward Jack from behind, hoping to take him unaware, but he turned instantly, causing them to halt while they looked at the blazing sword which they were wary of. “Stay away from me and my friends if you do not want to end up like your leader and your fighter!” Jack kicked Kael’s head toward the two savage men who were standing behind him. One of them stopped it from rolling with his left foot, and the two of them growled at Jack angrily, but the sight of the weapon which he wielded firmly caused them not to make a single move. “That should be enough to show you that you will be fighting a lost battle if you decide to stop us from leaving. We do not want any more trouble….” Jack looked at his companions, and then he signaled to them at once, waiting patiently until they got up from their kneeling positions. Vince and Lucy helped Sierra up while Dwayne hurriedly gathered their weapons from the floor

    For almost thirty seconds, Jack looked at the sword in his hand, wondering if it was going to be able to do anything to hurt the beast in Human form standing before him. At that moment, he would have preferred the energy blade, but there was no time to think about any other decision as Kael had gotten ready to attack. Stomping his feet heavily on the hard floor, Kael ran toward Jack with all the energy he had in him, ready to finish him off with a single strike. “You are going to regret what you did to my champion!” Kael roared, jumping up again while he lifted his sword, and struck Jack with it. Reacting to the nervousness that cringed into him the moment he saw the sword coming down at him, Jack lifted his sword impulsively in an attempt to block the strike from Kael’s sword. Unexpectedly, the blazing sword blazed with a fierce glitter that was bright enough to blind anyone who gazed at it for a long time. Sending Kael’s sword back to him as soon as they contacted, Jack’s blazi

    Jack became very wary of what was going to happen if he wasn’t able to dodge the arrow, but because Kael was closer than he was before, he couldn’t discard the nervousness that crept into his body as he watched his enemy get closer to him. Without warning, Kael released the spear from his hand with a more fierce energy which was almost twice the force with which he threw the previous spear which managed to give Jack a cut on his left arm. Luckily, Jack ducked the moment the spear got very close to him, and it flew ahead of him, missing him by several inches. Kael grunted angrily while his men groaned in disappointment as they thought that the spear was going to get Jack after Kael had aimed for his head, hoping to kill him with the second spear. “You missed!” Jack said to Kael with a smirk on his face while he struggled to catch his breath after having a near-death experience while he watched the spear attempt to plunge into his head. “Hand me over a sword!” Kael said imperati

    Jack looked at the leader of the Forsaken for a few seconds, and even though he struggled not to be afraid of him, he couldn’t stop himself from being wary of the fact that it wasn’t going to be easy to kill him just like he had killed Rico who was not as strong as he was. He was still struggling with the uncertainty that crept into his mind as he stood before Kael Who was getting ready to attack him when he suddenly felt a weakness surging through his veins, and causing him to feel very dizzy. His body seemed to be reacting to something he was completely unaware of, and he struggled to keep his eyes open while he groaned. “What is happening to me? Why do I feel this way?” Jack asked himself with a whisper while he continued to struggle with himself amidst the weakness that became more intense with each passing moment. “What is wrong with him? Why is he acting very strange?” Lucy whispered only to her hearing while she looked at Jack who was still struggling to stand on his fee

    Turning to look at Kael who was walking slowly toward him, Jack continued his movement as well, looking confidently as the leader of the Forsaken until they met in the middle of the crowd. “I underestimated you, boy,” Kael said with a frown on his face, staring at Jack who unexpectedly didn't flinch even though he expected him to because he looked far more dangerous than Rico in all ramifications. “I think we are even, Kael. I hope you are going to let us go now.” Jack said with a deadpan face, looking at Kael who nodded without letting go of his frown. He looked at some of the savage men by his left who started to make hooting sounds, but he quickly looked away from them and returned his gaze to Kael who suddenly started to smile. Jack looked at him for a few seconds, waiting for him to speak, but he soon started to chuckle without taking his eyes away from him. “Is he going crazy?” Jack thought to himself but refused to speak in order not to arouse any form of lingered antagoni
