Chapter 4
The next morin’ I was awakened by someone poundin’ on my door.
“What der yer want!?” I yelled, annoyed at bein’ woken up so early.
“Spider,” it was Tok, “Dragadon and Ishtar are back. And they requested fer everyone ter meet them in the village center ASAP.” I heard Tok said.
I sighed and got up, now we will find out what happened ter that village.
“Alright I’m comin’” I called out as I put my pants on. I stepped out and greeted my pack mate and we walked ter the village center together.
The village center was crowded with everyone in the village there. I felt like I was wadin’ through waist high green sludge or somethin’. I was sure Hak felt the same way, but at least we both have the best views. Ishtar was sitting in the center of the crown, on top of Drag’s head. Drag looked very tired and looked like she needed ter sleep fer a decade or so. After waitin’ a few minutes, Ishtar cleared her throat and got everyones attention.
“I am sure by now all of you know about the sudden destruction of a nearby village.” She said. After seeing a bunch of nods, she continued, “I investigated the site and found that there was no way the Cartel could have done this.”
There was a sigh of relief from the crowd.
“Don’t think for one moment you can relax!” Ishtar snapped, “What destroyed that village is far more dangerous then all of the Cartels armies combined!”
I heard gasps of shock and disbelief ‘round me.
“How can that possiblely be?” I heard someone ask.
“The one responsible is one of my kind…only from the dark side, but that is all I could make out. I also could not tell where this creep is heading next, suggesting that this one is either of equal or greater strength to me.”
“And that means?” someone else asked.
“It means…that if he or she comes here…I might not be able to hold him or her off….” She replied, a note of worry in her voice.
“Wh…what can we der then?”
“Until I can figure out who it is and how powerful he or she is…there is little we can do. I the mean time, I would highly suggest increasing the patrols and if anyone sees or hears someone or something suspicious, you are to inform me at once!”
We all nodded in understanding.
“If you can’t find me…get in touch with either, Hak, Jai’ana, Sketh, or Dragadon. They’ll be able to contact me.”
We all nodded again and dispersed. This didn’ sound good at all, if Ishtar can’t hold back who ever it is…who can?
