“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
After running for a while, Charlie summoned his avatar and his running speed increased greatly.I will never come to this place, never in my life. Charlie thought in his mind as he shivered from the increasing cold he was feeling as he traveled through the ice plain.When he got there, he saw badly mutilated bodies lying scattered on the ground at the entrance of the ice cave. He quickly hid in a hole beside him as he watched the beasts finish off the last person on the battlefield. The attack was brutal and cruel. The large ice creature cracked open the man’s skull as he picked his head with its metallic beaks, fished out his brain, and swallowed it whole.Charlie watched as the over thirty remaining beasts left the ice cave, to join the other beasts at the main battlefield.“Mission failed!” Charlie said as he turned back to leave the ice cave. But he suddenly stopped in his tracks, a strange feeling had returned. Something was compelling him to go near the corpses of the over twent
Charlie and the big vulture now began a game of cat and rat. The vulture chases and he'll hide between the hibernating vulture. And the vulture will destroy them out of anger. He did this until the vultures in the cocoon were reduced to about 30.Finally, he got out of the cave but there was nowhere else to run to. During their chase, the thirty-something vulture that was now remaining in the deepest part of the cave was now staring angrily at him. Before he could say jack! They had surrounded him. Charlie had no choice but to fight with this group of shameless birds who were now ganging up to beat him."Brother vulture, this is not a fair fight! Call back your men and let's fight one on one. or at least let them come one after the other.” Charlie tried reasoning with the vulture.“There is a saying that is common among you humans. "life is not fair”, deal with it. Humans do not deserve a fair fight! Especially ones with the divine bloodline like yours.” The giant vulture said as he
The vulture quickly made use of the opportunity to stump on Charlie, but its attacks were easily evaded. After a few minutes, the giant vulture swooped down to attack, but Charlie quickly summoned the scholarly ape once again. He attacked the beast fiercely with the axe in his hand until the vulture starts to bleed on its chest.The large beast looked wary as it saw his stomach bleeding and its blood smeared on this little boy’s axe blade.The vulture was now attacking with caution and the battle protracted for longer than they imagined. Charlie didn't get another chance to use the technique, as the vulture was now attacking him from a safe distance.He does not want the battle to go on till midnight when he’ll become weak from the bloody marks, so he did something crazy to lure the vulture to attack. He intentionally left an opening in his attack.The vulture made use of the opportunity as it swooped down and opened its beak to swallow him whole.Charlie quickly dodged to the side be
