Chapter 3 - Opening the wooden box

The Old man was dead.

Ellie "How did he die"

Betty "A pillar fell from the sky and killed him"

Wang ".... "

Reginald "Damn it Drude how many times do we have to tell you to not try to play catch with the pillar"

Drude "I didn't kill him on purpose"

"Now what are we gonna do without a guardian they are never gonna let us live here and Dorell's gonna come in few days" said Wang

Elllie grabs Drude by his bald egg like head and starts beating him.

Wang "We can't run away or they will pin it as a murder on our head and we will be wanted criminals"

"Look what you did you stupid egg head", Reginald scolds Drude.

Betty starts to cry "Wu Wu, we are gonna be put in jail I don't want to go to jail"

"Don't cry Betty no ones gonna put you in jail, we will tell them it was an accident"

They all start racking their brains in order to escape out of this situation.

Wang proposes "lets first pack our stuff and take any valuables we must be ready so if things go wrong we can run"

So they all quickly pack up the necessary travel baggage and prepare a horse carriage that they used to travel to town.

Reginald "should we see if Old man had something on him"

Betty "No Regie we can't we are not allowed to enter in his room"

"He is already dead it's not like his ghosts gonna catch us" added Wang

Reginald enters the old man's room and searches every nook and cranny of the room but still doesn't find anything valuable.

"Bloody Hell this old man didn't even have a single silver on him"

"what are we gonna do without money we can't even get into the city"

"Should we bury the old man?" asked Drude

"What are we gonna bury you idiot he is all liquid there's not even a bone left" fumed Ellie

Reginald picks up the strange wooden box "This things tough it was not even scratched from the pillar even though it was on old man"

Reginald tries very hard but is not able to open it.

Wang "It must be a treasure, let Drude try to open it"

Drude tries his best but also fails to open the box.

Put it in our baggage we will deal with it later.

Reginald then goes to the officer of the area to report the made up 'accident' that killed the old man.

After that few weeks go by because of lack of money Reginald and Drude hunt wild beasts and forage for fruit and berries which all of them depend on.

One day when they return from the hunt they hear a commotion outside the house.

Reginald runs to house and asks "hey, what's the matter?"

Some passerby comments "they are clearing out the old house, someone from Fang manor purchased this house and servants from Fang manor are kicking out the old residents of the house"

Another one chimes in "I heard it used to be an orphanage but old man taking care of this place died due to some accident"

Reginald quickly dashes in the manor.

Betty comes running up to him and hugs him "Regie they are kicking us out, I don't wanna go Regie"

Wang walks out "We should leave, they have purchased the manor"

Ellie walks out as well after she finishes their preparation to travel off to the city "Everything's ready"

They all thus coarse the pouting Betty and board the horse carriage to move towards Srixin

"What are we gonna do there?" asked Drude

"I don't know but we are gonna be just fine egg head don't you worry" said Wang

After travelling for two days on the horse they were half way to their destination.

Reginald "Hey let's check out that wooden box "Maybe we can sell it for some gold, it could probably be some kind of treasure"

"Let's all try to open it together" suggested Wang

They all try to open the wooden box when suddenly a needle pops out from the box and scrapes everyone's

Palm

"Ouch"

"Fuck"

Blood drips on the wooden box and the box opens slightly.

They all peer into the box only to find a small wooden sculptor put in wooden box but the sculptor looks like a man but not yet a man as it has a wing like an eagle while the other of a bat it has two horns on its head and it appears as though many a numerous chains have held it trapped.

"Fudge it's only a wooden toy" complains Drude

"It's an art Muscle head we can sell it to a collector" says Wang

Suddenly the blood patterns appear on the wooden sculptor and its shut eyes suddenly open and two vortexes appear in its two eyes and all five of them are sucked in.
