Not long after, elder Frank and the two warriors reached the scene.“What are you doing here Becky?! If my memories served me right, you should still be at the shelter, searching for herbs.” Elder Frank questioned.“I changed my mind, you have a problem with that?” Becky replied coldly.“Fine, after working with him for a few years, elder Parka still didn't have complete trust in me to the point of putting you on my tail… great!” “You can lament all you want after reading this,” Becky said as she handed elder Frank the note she retrieved from the pigeon.“What did they offer you? For you to be able to betray your tribe like this, you must have been offered a good price.” Elder Frank grabbed the man’s shirt and used it to pull him up.“i-i-I please forgive me elder! I had no choice but to do it! My daughter is with them!” FFanda stuttered as he begged for mercy. “Who are the ones who sent you?” Becky asked."I can't say it! I'll die if I mention them!” Fanda looked at them with wate
Elder Frank and the other warriors had already reached the intersection between the path that leads to the icy plains and annfirld before he suddenly stopped.“halt! You guys should wait for a little, I have something to do at the back.” He walked away from the group after saying that.“Why did you stop? We're already near annfirld for crying out loud!” Becky asked when she saw him approaching.Elder Frank didn't speak a word when he reached her side, at least not until he knocked Fanda out with a powerful punch.“Who told you we're passing annfirld? There's a change of plan, we'll be passing through the icy plains instead.” Elder Frank said."Since this traitorous bastard had revealed the fact that he'd been found out, annfirld is now a dangerous place to pass. There must have been about a hundred warriors lying in wait for us already. So we'll take the icy plains instead.” Elder Frank explained.“Oh! I always thought you were a battle maniac who would choose to battle, without carin
Charlie was now sitting down on a tree stomp while pounding sunflower seeds just for fun. But this type of sunflower seed is different from the others, it is crimson in color and the oil that came out of it has a tinge of red in it. These particular sunflower seeds were made with his blood.First, he let the sunflower suck his blood, put them in a daze, then harvest their heads, it's as simple as that.“Let's see what these guys see in my blood!” After pounding and sorting for over an hour, Charlie finally finished making the oil. A large bowl of yellow oil with a tinge of red lay before him. He dipped his middle finger inside the bowl, brought it to his mouth, and tasted it.“Wow! It tastes like Vanilla!” His eyes widen in surprise as he began to lick the oil from the bowl. “No wonder! Both animals and flowers want to have a taste of my blood… “After licking to his satisfaction, he covered the bowl and stored it in a separate place.“I guess it’s time to go out for a hunt.” Charli
“How did you survive the silent garden? We all thought you were dead… " Becky said as she ran to hug Charlie. "You even missed your burial.”“When you get to the garden, you’ll understand how I stayed alive,” Charlie said.“Good thing he was passing through this route, else I don't how much suffering you'll have to endure.”Charlie looked at the unmasked assassin who was staring daggers at him.A few hours later, they got to the silent garden. Charlie Removed the gag from the middle-aged assassin’s mouth and dared him to speak. But the man stayed quiet throughout their walk in the garden.After a silent walk through the garden, they finally got to the hut. Charlie offered Becky a drink from one of his cauldrons of water. She accepted the drink and drank like a thirsty camel.Becky motioned for him while pointing to the bowl of water she was holding.“Ho! You can talk now, they can’t hear you from here”“Where did you get this water!?” Becky looked at the clear water in surprise.“I go
The two moons in the sky were glaring at the inhabitants of the earth. Dark spots appeared on the red moon one after the other, adding a strange beauty to the source of some people’s weaknesses.The clear, blue sky looked like an artistic masterpiece; it adds a poetic feeling to the deep blue sky.Two adults were sitting around a bonfire while a little kid was running around, preparing the sauce for the meat boiling in the large cauldron.The two adults watched curiously as Charlie adds the sunflower stalks juice, his newly produced sunflower oil, some ‘vegetables’ he just fetched from the garden, and some other unique ingredients that can never be found outside the garden.“Please be fast with whatever you’re doing, I’m starving already.” Becky licked her mouth as she looked at the bubbling soup in the cauldron. The assassin also swallowed his spit after perceiving the sweet smell of the soup.“Assuming I have salt right now, the soup would have been made perfect,” Charlie said afte
The trio, Charlie, Becky, and Mr. Kevin had long left the silent garden behind, and they were now on their way to the tribe shelter. But before Charlie left, he had sprinkled some red sunflower seeds at the entrance of the garden and some other important places in the garden. The only regret he had was that he didn’t have enough chance to pluck the fruit from the stingy tree.He had also requested a small leader purse from Becky. All the elixirs and oil that got to him after sharing it with Becky, were kept in the purse.“It’s been three weeks since we separated from the team, Frank and the others should have reached the icy plains by now.” Becky looked worried.“Where are the icy plains?” Charlie asked confused.“It is a region in the north that’s always cold no matter the weather or season, and it’s also the most dangerous place in this region,” Becky explained. “I’ll explain more to you when we get to the shelter.” The trio walked for a few more hours before they reached the shelt
When the ice vultures see that they can’t win a battle, the next thing they’ll do is call for reinforcement. They’re now conserving their strength till the reinforcement arrives. And that is the main reason why the cowardly warriors were pissing their pants.The people left on the battlefield are not up to 45 as the others had already been killed, either by the vultures or during the first tribal battle.Soon, loud screeches could be heard in the sky as a flock of over 50 birds were approaching at an unimaginable speed. The sounds created a sense of panic among the remaining warriors on the battlefield.Merely seeing this sight, the group of hunters gave up Hope.While they were despairing when they heard the faint sound of horns and drums coming from the north.“The ice Phoenix tribe is here to help!” the sound was followed by a loud shout and the sound of horses galloping. The ice Phoenix tribe had sent a thousand skilled archers to join the battlefield.Immediately after they arriv
"is your father an apothecary by chance?” one of the apothecaries present in the room looked thoughtful as he observed the slightly green oil in the 50-cl bottle. "but I haven't heard of or seen an apothecary who can make a divine elixir like this. Do you mind if I ask for your father's name?” the middle-aged apothecary asked.“Maybe I have seen or heard of him somewhere before.” He continued. The three others in the room paused whatever it is that they were doing as they stared at charlie intently. Waiting curiously for him to answer the question.Seeing that Charlie was being bullied by these Old men, Becky opened her mouth to talk but the old physician was faster than her."he does not wish to talk about his father, you can all go back to your position.” The old physician dismissed them."Can I see the oil in your hand?” The old physician asked and Charlie gave it to him.“I’m sorry, but I can only give one-quarter of this oil to the physicians' tents. That’s the only oil I have le
