Chereads / Legacy of Judah Gremory / Chapter 34 - Checking the traps

Chapter 34 - Checking the traps

Fiona enters the bunker carrying her giant sword, she looks at me, and then she asked me.

"Oh, good! You are awake! We have to go."

"Where?" I ask Fiona to get off to my bed and walking to a table to take my wand.

"The general in our camp sent us a letter because we have a mission to go and investigate the land.

"Land. What land?

"He's somewhere a few feet from us, he told us in the letter to pay attention to the traps that are located in the area.

"Traps? Oh no!" I say to Fiona feeling scared.

"Why?"

Big Gus, who was still there, sits on my bed while he eats breakfast and he tells Fiona.

"Judah had a perspectives dream."

"Oh..." says Fiona who had no idea what that kind of dream meant because he never heard anyone say anything like that or had one herself. "What is that type of dream?"

"Well, to be honest, you just see a guy or a girl life. The source of those dreams is still unknown and the reason that thing has happened could be a lot, but when a dream like this is happening you have to listen carefully about it and to know the meaning of it," says Big Gus to Fiona and me. "So..." he looks at me and asked me: "How does that terrain look like?"

"Like a normal green terrain but with a lot of holes there," I say to Big Gus and Fiona.

"Well then," says Fiona. " Let's hope the information you are welding will be useful in our mission," says Fiona leaving the Bunker with her giant sword on her back.

When Fiona has left, Big Gus has made a whistle and he says to me: "That's one big sword boy.". And I replied to him: "Yeah, I know.". I took my wand, I put it into my belt with the spell book and I left the bunker and followed Fiona to the place where we have to go. While we were walking, Fiona has told me the mission they had sent to us was about to investigate the place, to destroy every trap we could, and to capture almost every cannibal out of there and to bring them into our camp which will be interrogated and, most likely, burned until just only the ashes will remain.

We walked, we walked and we walked until we reached a valley, where a fisherman was leaving the water carrying a fish over the sea. that fisherman observes us, greets us, we greet him, after which we see each other on the way. I couldn't talk to him because all three of us were in a hurry, the fisherman was walking as fast as he could with the fish in the hut where he lives, and Fiona and I have an important mission.

After another thirteen minutes of walking, we have arrived at the place where we have to check for the traps. But, while we were walking I realized one thing, the distance in the dream was way too short than in real life, which is making me feel kinda worried about a bad thing, what if the dream I had was not the perspective dream and just a weird series of dreams which cannot be described it.

I decided to let that thing slide from my memory and my mind because I have to be careful around me, we do not know when something violent like a cannibal could appear from the bushes and attacks us because we are humans. Fiona, stopped for a second, she took the blade from the back and with one swing, she cut the tree from the front of us. When the tree has fallen, we saw one of those cannibals, which was behind a tree and got cut in half by Fiona's giant blade. We did not have time to admire that half body, because right when the tree has fallen, a few cannibals come from the bushes, trees, and from the holes they had digging to prepare the traps or a massive ambush. If I am not wrong, there were fourteen there, who were equipped with rusty weapons like sword or maces, and one of them was wielding poison arrows.

Fiona, who was in my front, put the sword down, and she tells me, while her skin became green fur, and her face, is slowly turning into a vewolf one.

"If I cannot control my beast, try to knock me out, alright?"

"Alright," I say to Fiona while I prepare my wand which will help me attack some cannibals.

When her transformation has finished, Fiona was not a human anymore, and she has become a green vewolf who will never attack me, but the cannibals. Fiona in her Vewolf form, disappear in a second, making some cannibals looking around and screaming in an unknown language by me or Fiona. I aim with my wand at that archer, I launched the spell "Fireball" right to his body. When the spell has left my wand, he flies directly to that archer, which was about to run away, but his reaction was late. The spell "Fireball" has hit the archer which has burned his clothes and making him fall from the trees, into a hole where it was a spike trap. The archer has fallen right into his own tribe trap and has fallen asleep forever.

Some cannibals were about to jump at me, but an unknown force has pushed those five away into some rocks, which has most likely killed a few of them. That unknown force must probably be Fiona in her camouflage mode if I am not mistaking. Othe two cannibals come to us with their rusty weapons and their thirst for human meat. I aimed my wand at one of them and launched the spell called "Dancin", which has made that cannibal dance weird, and with the other spell, called "Oblivion" I made the other cannibal flies so far that he could even see the tribe in which he lived. The guy who was dancing, was in a few seconds, slashed like a salami which he needs to be put into a pizza, sandwich, or even better, in a salami-egg, by an imaginary force. The rest of those cannibals, being freaked by and me Fiona, decide to drop their weapons and runs away, but the rest of those who were running have fallen into their own traps, bear trap, spike into a hole, crossbows from the ground and even into snake hole.

Fiona, became visible again, and she transforms into her human version, and later on, both of us had done a high five because we have done an amazing job in this battle. But, we did not celebrate yet, because our mission is to check the traps, not to kill the rest of the cannibals' fighters... This can be a good optional quest if the General has sent us in that message to kill the remaining cannibals, but he didn't.

Both of us, have checked the traps that those cannibals have made for us or a dumb peasant. We have checked almost every trap around here and we found so many traps, that could even kill the entire army we are assigned in. We have found the bear traps, holes with spikes or with snakes or with poison or one that contains lava ( which is kinda cool, weird, and brutal at the same time ). We also found a trap with a crossbow trap with poison arrows, quicksand which they transport you into a deadly place, and we had even found out a trap which is described as a false path with water and piranhas, deadly fishes who can kill and eat an entire human. If Fiona was not there at that moment when I was about to fall there, I would have been dead and a good dish for hungry fishes.

We have stayed there for a few minutes checking the traps around there, and we were about to leave, but right when we were about to go to the path, we have heard canons shooting, battle screaming, and sword fighting from a few meters. Fiona and I were following the sound of the battle and were running to see what is going on there.

After a few moments, me and Fiona I arrive at some trees. Fiona is climbing one of those trees, and I, decide to stay in the bushes and to look at what is happening there. I enter that bush, I crawl until I almost reach the edge and I look to see what is happening there on the battlefield. What I saw, was kinda weird, because there were enemies and cannibals, who were fighting each other. "Huh... That's weird." I say to myself, "weren't they those cannibals on the side of those enemies?"
