THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 82: THE FIRST ESCAPE.
Marx hearing faintly the words spoken by Kaminski continued his journey in the tunnel. Not knowing where the tunnel emptied into, he prayed it wasn't the camp of his enemies. He just needed to escape the castle successfully. The distant sound of alarm bells echoed in their ears, harmonizing with the rhythms of his pounding hearts. With one final glance, they took a leap of faith into the abyss. Deeper this time he couldn't hear Kaminski or any other again, he knew he was closer to his safe haven than before. He crawled cautiously in order to attract attention with every step closer to his freedom and in no time, he was in the middle of his freedom.Gravity became an enemy as she descended the steepy hill before she headed to her final destination. Her body suspended in the air for a fraction of a heartbeat, before she crashed forcefully onto the ground below. Pain surged through her body, but it was a small price to pay for her newfound freedom. She didn't know if Marx was alive neit
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 83: A RESTING PLACE
Back in the camp of Zamorah preparations were made, all hands were on deck but one thing was missing, Marx. The following night was execution day and Marx needed to be out of the dark room before they struck. He was the boost in their morale, with Marx on their side, he would feel better and more relaxed. Four hours past midnight and he was still up, not able to catch some sleep, thinking of the possibilities that would occur if Khalodi didn't succeed with his plan tonight. He thought, ‘it will be calamitous, disastrous, a dismal war even before it started.’Breaking in his wandering thoughts, ‘battling with insomnia?’Ethan asked‘No, not really, not tired enough to be unconscious,’ Zamorah answered.Alright, Williams and I will be heading to the hideout location our human soldiers were laying low to bring them in and ensure they are fit for tomorrow's battle, Ethan said Alright, stay safe and avoid the red route, those coordinates are heavily marked by the Giants and they have spie

He trekked for about three miles before he saw a building structure, at this time it was already bright; six hours into the day and it was as busy as a marketsquare. He observed and noticed that it was a human territory. He was very thirsty and he needed a drink. He furtively walked to a hut behind and seeing a drum of water, he attempted to take a scoop with his large palms when a lady behind him startled him‘Your hands maybe dirty, why don't you use a cup so that you don't contaminate the whole drum?’ She said tardily and rather weaklyHe turned back slowly and attempted to run away. He knew the humans detested the Giants because after their emancipation, they killed a lot of humans and took the others as slaves. He was’nt strong enough to battle an army of humans and so he flinched when he got caught but he couldn't run as fast as he imagined because of the wound he still suffered from in his leg.Don't run my son, stay and drink and I won't kiss and tell, she chuckled dryly, coug

Anatomy”, never heard the word? She questioned‘No, what does it mean?’‘It is the art of studying the different parts of any organized body, to discover their situation, structure, and economy.’So you know all the body parts and their structures?‘Yes I do, for example, your ligament was affected that's why it isn't just afleah wound and may take some time to heal.’ She said still smiling at his ignorance.Seems you know a lot, do you know of the oblique formation?‘No, what's that?’‘It's a war strategy, wanted to show you that you don't know all things’ Marx chuckledI didn't say I know all things, you're just bitter and feel stupid that a young woman is schooling you on things you should know., she giggled.Are you hurling to me? He said with a scary deep voice coming at her‘I'm not scared of you,’ she said standing up to himBut you were some time this morning, he laughed hysterically, breaking her completely that she joined him.There was silence for some time‘We're headed to

You'll have to call…them… to order. She spoke faintly and coughed loudlyI'm sorry about that, well look into the case, is that all? Gray asked Yes, she answered.Okay we'll be on our way, we'll come back for further questioning.’ Kaminski saidAs they were walking out, she winked at Khalodi, Khalodi smiled largely, it was done!So where's Marx now? Zamorah asked inquisitivelyI don't know, that's the problem, Lateefah blurted.So Khalodi is still in the castle, what's his plan? Zamorah asked rhetoricallySo what do we do now? Major Bonkey asked, we wait?‘Marx will come, Marx is alive, I feel it my guts.’ Zamorah said confidently.We're supposed to attack this night,

Refusing to turn, "I'm alright, what's the matter?" he asked. "We have to leave now if I intend to meet up," she said. "Okay, then let's go." "Listen, you'll hide among the bags of yam and plantain. When we cross the border of Southeros, you'll come ride with me. Do you understand?" He kept staring at her and nodded finally. "I need a reply, I need to be sure you understand what I said." "I comprehend what you say and I will act according to your provisions." "Good, thank you," she said. "Give me some time, and I'll join you. Meanwhile, Pat in front will show you where to stay." "You mean hide?" Marx chuckled. "Just understand—" "Hey, I'm joking, I understand and I'll cooperate." He went outside and got in. Pat ensured no one saw him and covered the spaces carefully. In no time, Cassandra was out, and they headed towards the borders with the destination of the land of Giants as the last bus stop.Khalodi walked with boldness throughout the cavern, wondering what
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 88: SWIFT RACE.
Arriving at Swiftfox's cell, Kaminski barged in without knocking while others followed swiftly, including the first and second servants on duty that night. They found her sitting beside the window, staring at the beautiful clouds in the sky. "The moving trees seem to be a very beautiful sight. The land is beautiful," she said with a smile, turning and focusing on Khalodi. Kaminski fumed and was visibly angry but maintained a straight look even in front of her smile. Khalodi asked politely, "These men seem to believe that you were not in your bed when they invaded your room. Were you?" Ignoring the question, still facing the window, Swiftfox asked, "Why are most leaves green and few others yellow? Do-" "Be silent! And speak only when you're asked to. Answer the god-damned question, woman," Kaminski bellowed, raging with anger. "Can Khal Duraho answer my questions? Might he know why these leaves are green?" she asked whimsically, avoiding Kaminski’s stare. "Woman! We're not here t

he would blame Khalodi. He quickly brought them here, he planned it with her. But aye! No proof. He didn't like the situation at all. He wished he could murder Swiftfox in a manner that would cause prolonged and extreme agony. Kaminski's mouth took a wry slant. He wished he could grab hold of his lapels and fling him against the wall. He had a hand in this!The silence after his response was too long, and each of them really had something important to say, but out with it, they restrained themselves. Marx felt he had discussed all he wanted to know about her and wasn't one who spoke frequently. He considered it flippant to speak too often, even though it was with a loved one. Cassandra didn't have any questions. She wanted to feel his hard, rocky body. His firm body had considerable powers of attraction, and the thought of manhandling him filled her mind.It brought thoughts of the last time she was in bed, unbidden, into her mind. It was a bittersweet memory. "Have you-" both of them
