THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 109: THE EXECUTIONER, NOW THE EXECUTED
In the dimly lit chamber of Khalodi, the night’s executioner, the flickering torches cast dancing shadows on the stone walls, creating an eerie atmosphere befitting of the clandestine plot unfolding within. Khalodi, a man of imposing stature with eyes as sharp as the blades he wielded, paced with restless energy, his mind consumed by the intricate details of the plan he had meticulously crafted.Beside him stood Rafi, his loyal messenger and representative, his features masked in an inscrutable expression. Despite the weight of their impending actions, Rafi exuded an air of quiet confidence, a testament to his unwavering loyalty to Khalodi.With each passing moment, the tension in the chamber grew palpable, like a taut bowstring on the verge of snapping. Khalodi's thoughts raced as he replayed the steps of their scheme in his mind, ensuring that every detail had been accounted for. Their plan was bold and perilous, yet Khalodi knew that the prize at stake was worth the risk.It was s
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 110: LOOMING BATTLES
Rafi was to meet her at the king's chambers and coordinate the exchange. In his hands were two baby boys given birth to four nights ago, Caitlyn he'd one while he held another. He nearly bumped into them, he gave Caitlyn the other child and put them in a secluded room. He had to get rid of the guard by any means or it would be dismal. He arrived just at the nick of time.“She's not an indigene of this community and has no reason to be present for the execution of Marx.” Rafi intervened.The guard sneered at Rafi and ignored his remark.“ Meanwhile General Khalodi sent a message through me to you.” Rafi said with his hands behind his back“What's the message?” He asked.“It's for giant's consumption, we don't want non-indigenes hearing about it” Rafi said beckoning on him to come with his left hand.Cassandra saw the knife at his back and she shrieked. He looked at her and nodded while he was edging closer. The guard got within Rafi's reach and bent to hear the message but instead a s
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 111: THE END OF THE WITCHES’ DAYS
*********In the center of the Enchanted Forest, Andinille, the matriarch of the coven, gathered her closest sisters and members of the upper echelon, and the air was heavy with the aroma of old magic. The deep sense of foreboding scarred her worn face as she realized it was time to hand over the leadership responsibilities to the new generation."My sisters," she said, her voice heavy with wisdom from decades of leading the coven, "the world outside our sanctuary becomes more dangerous by the day." A fresh danger has surfaced, one that aims to eradicate the core of our species."Gethsemane, the chosen heir of Andinille, listened carefully, reflecting the flashing, her eyes reflecting the flickering flames of the ritual fire. The young witch's heart raced with a mixture of trepidation and determination, for she knew the responsibility that now rested upon her shoulders."Vampires," Andinille continued, her tone laced with a palpable dread. "These creatures of the night have set their
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 112: SURVIVORS LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY
Andinille had died in battle and they weren't much left of the witches’ coven. If they were those that survived, they were mostly the lowest and junior witches. Roosevelt could not dwell in a dead host and so she returned to the oak tree. Since her spectre had been resurrected, she had the liberty to roam around freely in search of a worthy host and until she found such, there would be unrest.Roosevelt was not aware of the presence of Gethsemane. She turned to her brother who was in the library going through their mother's old books, in search of something she couldn't seem to decipher.“What are you doing in mom's library?” Roosevelt asked“Oh! You're back! No more body containers?” He smiled malevolently.“I was summoned, was that my fault?” Roosevelt asked angrily.“There lies the fallacy in your reasoning, it was a harmless question. Just needed a reply and I can infer from your countenance, I have got my answer.” He said, chuckling.“You’re just jealous, that's all there is,” Roo
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 113: THE WAR OF THE WITCHES AND HYBRIDS
The atmosphere was occupied with the stench of charred flesh and the acrid scent of scorched earth as the battle raged on. Streaks of lightning crackled through the sky, illuminating the chaos below as the witches and hybrids clashed in a desperate struggle for supremacy. Roosevelt, stood at the forefront of the witches' defense, her hands glowing with the raw energy of ancient magic. Across the battlefield, the hybrids – a terrifying amalgamation of witches and vampires – surged forward, their thirst for power and domination fueling their relentless assault.The clash of spells and the snarls of the hybrid creatures echoed through the night, a symphony of destruction that threatened to consume them all. Roosevelt's eyes narrowed with determination as she unleashed a torrent of arcane power, her magic lashing out like whips of pure energy.But the hybrids were cunning and resilient, their combined strengths making them a formidable foe. One by one, the witches fell, their lifeless bo
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 114:PARASITES ALWAYS FIND THEIR HOST
With Isabella's death, Roosevelt needed a new body edifice to possess and continue with the mantra of the coven, sheer dominance. She was in need of a willing host but it could be difficult now with the war looming over the land of giants. They saw all, they knew all, the spirit realm controlled the physical, so they said. After Isabella died during childbirth, she had been roaming the pinnacle and beyond in search for a host, but who was willing to accommodate a witch and agree to a merger between his/her spirit and a devil’s incarnate. The answer was subjective, people did things for many reasons and revenge was a strong reason to make one think of the unthinkable.Aliyah stared across the broken desk. “How could they do such thing early in the morning and go scot-free?” She queried, her voice rising in surprise. She still couldn't fathom it, amazement was an understatement to what she felt. And no one could say anything concerning this because they paid obeisance to him as part of
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 115: ESCAPE IN A CARRIAGE
The carriage sped through the street of the land of the Giants raising dust as it passed by. As they raced down the hill and onto the Stony beach, the driver was acutely aware that the twins were behind. With each gallop, they cried even louder attracting the attention of passersby. Sensuous chills coursed through Caitlyn's body. Terrible memories of what Khalodi and Rafi said usually happened to women caught in the castle by the wrong hands flashed through and her nerve endings crackled. The feeling caused her pulse to race.She could feel the warm breath of the twins. Her fingers dug into the ribs as she picked one of the twins and petted him. In no time, they were supposed to be in the encampment of Zamorah. “How much longer?” Caitlyn asked“Not much longer, less than thirty minutes,” he answered.A swarm of menacing gray clouds appeared overhead and with them renewed gusts of wind across the lands. Time was moving so slowly but it wasn't time she was supposed to be looking out fo
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 116:INSTINCT AT WORK
Rafi didn't know how to break the news to him, he was in chains about to be executed. What could he possibly do right now? Nothing he guessed! He was confused about the turnaround of events, just moments ago, he was holding the blade and now the blade hung over his head.“Where's Marx? He was in the prison, where have you hid him?” Khal Duraho roared in anger.“I don't know where he is, you can ask General Gray about his whereabouts, he was the last to see him.” Khalodi said flatly.Khal Duraho turned his gaze to General Gray, expecting an answer but since he delayed, he walked to him with the shiny sword.“My king, I don't know what he's talking about, I've not seen Marx since he was imprisoned.” Gray blurted“He was last seen with Marx before his flight, my king.” Kaminski added.“So that means you knew that Marx wasn't the one to be executed but you let this innocent man out to be decapitated and wanted us to believe we had executed Marx, right?” Khal Duraho asked“No, not that my
