THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 84: HEALING WOUNDS
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
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 90: LOST GLORY REGAINED
[In present time]It was a horrifying accident. The impact was immense, causing Pat to lose control and ultimately flip over twice before coming to a stop. Pat tried to apply damage control but he found himself far away from the carriage. The tumbling made him lose control of the steering and the weight of the carriage slowly on the horse with the speed at which he moved with, it summerdsaulted twice and he landed on a rock by the wayside close to the bush. The impact didn't elude Marx as his heel took different shape worse than what had been. Meanwhile, the master, his men and spies approached the already scattered goods across the road in attempt to cart away with them and leave the injured giant who came out first groaning in pain. The pre-existing healing wound from his time in the dark room , endured a higher level of injury due to the intensity of the accident. The impact of the collision reignited his wound, causing severe pain and further complications.Cassandra who was bare
THE FOOTPRINTS. Journey of no return. CHAPTER 91: DINNER IN THE DEN
Khalodi practiced how he would start the conversation with Khal Duraho. He had to be indeed witty and smart about it. He had to put it in a way that the king won't see it coming. He let out an exasperated sigh, the Deputy General did it intentionally, he shouldn't be rehearsing his death wish in a cold evening.‘I heard the king is having dinner and has invited all of us to join him in his exquisite dining chamber,’ Kaminski said with a tinge of pity on Khalodi.Great! Very great time for the king to drive a sword through my good heart, right in front of my peers, Khalodi let out flatly.That evening before dinner, Khalodi got into his black velvet three-piece suit an hour earlier. He was nervous, he clasped his hands behind his back. He glanced at the passage out of a corner of his eye and then turned his head away. He went to the window and looked out. He kept moving about, he told himself, trying to steer away thoughts about the possibilities of the outcome that could occur when he
