Chapter 57 - Settling into the new camp

When we arrived at the abandoned village, first things of all, we have to check if anybody is really there, and on our luck, this village is empty because we have checked every house in this area, which in our luck was abandoned for a long time. Fiona and I go to a house in which he still has a roof and we are staying there for a short period of time until we will conquer the Kingdom of Moldovia.

When we both entered the house, both of us has seen the interior is in pretty bad shape. The beds there are broken, the cabinets are damaged and full of spider webs in interior and exterior, the table is still in pretty good shape but some brown paint has gone over the years it was abandoned, the floor of the house is with dust and rats corpses, the windows are damaged and with cracks. And don't even have to mention the attic. When I climb the stairs, and I have arrived in the attic, there I saw dust, rat corpses, and dog corpses which is like rats, in skeleton form.

Both of us put the weapons somewhere and the backpack I was carrying and we have started to clean this place. I take the broom and started sweeping the floor at the parter and Fiona has decided to do the heavy lifting alone. While I sweeping the floor, Fiona was carrying the broken beds outside, together with damaged cabinets and other furniture in the entire abandoned house.

When I almost finished the sweeping, Fiona has finished throwing the furniture outside and she has decided to take care of the windows. The first thing she did was to take the windows away from their places and putting on the table who was laying outside with the other pieces of damaged furniture which are going to use as firewood for the cold days because the autumn is getting closer every day.

When we have finished sweeping the floor of the house where we will live for a few days, Fiona has finished with the windows and she is going to borrow an ax from someone which will be used to cut the broken furniture and use it as firewood. While Fiona was doing that thing, I leave the first floor and goes to the attic to clean the place there because that place could be my room while I will stay here. And having a room in the attic is going to be like the room I had at Fiona and Diana's house.

Before to start doing cleaning activities, I have noticed that the attic doesn't have any window or any source of light nearby. I have decided to let the broom in the attic and then goes to the parter part to take my wand and go back to the attic for cleaning activities. When I have arrived there, I used the spell "Illuminate" and the wand has started to make a light at the tip of the wand, which will help me clean the attic.

I put my wand somewhere in the middle of the attic and then I have started to clean the entire attic, which was much bigger than the attic I live in the house in the Kingdom of Romania. While I clean the entire attic by sweeping, I could swear someone was staying in this place and looking at me, but when I took a look back and illuminate the place where I could think that there was someone who has to look at me, there wasn't anyone there, in the attic was just me and some spiders on their web and waiting for a flies to fall in their trap. Anyway, I decided to ignore this feeling because I think it's the lack of sleep that is starting to make me delusional.

In a few minutes, I have finished the cleaning and after that left the broom somewhere at the wall, I take my wand, stops the spell "Illuminate", walking down the stairs with my wand in the pockets, and left the house where I and Fiona are going to stay until we will finish the mission. I look at the house and I could tell this one could belong to a rich man because this house was much more different than the others there. While some of them doesn't even have a proper roof, the house I will stay in has a good roof, an attic, walls who are in quite good shape, and even a little warehouse in the yard that is still standing after so many years being left alone and without someone to store things there.

When I looked at the house for a while, I noticed a girl on the roof, looking north for someone, then disappearing in a few seconds. This incident really made me shiver and was to make me faint, and such things are not good for a person like me who is not yet an adult and is not as well developed as the books who are about human anatomy.

"Judah!" says Fiona coming closer to me while she has an ax at her left hand. "Have you done your business?"

"Y-Yes." I say to Fiona looking at her. "Did you observed something weird here?"

"Weird? Like what?"

"A girl climbing on the roofs?"

"No... I didn't count something like that."

"Um... Alright."

"Are you alright?"

"I-I think... It is probably the lack of sleep."

"Oh. If it is a lack of sleep, maybe it could be a good idea to sleep. You didn't sleep the entire journey and the night is about to come. "

"And how are going to sleep if you destroyed any furniture from there?"

"Well... You are a wizard, right? You could do a trick and make the furniture appear from nothing?"

"The magic doesn't work like that." I say to Fiona being uncertain because I don't know anything about some spells I have written in my spellbook, but there could be one and after a few seconds I walked into the house, take my spellbook from my backpack, and started to search in the spellbook a spell that could summon some nice furniture.

I found one spell there and it is called "Furni Turo" and that spell can summon comfortable furniture in the entire house, it also says in the book " this spell can invoke furniture in the house, but it will place your furniture at random and not in all locations of the house, and the amount of furniture is chosen at random, so you can expect more furniture than in a mansion or royal palace.". I closed the spellbook and started to use that spell in creating furniture. When I used the spell, in an almost entire hour the rooms of the entire house were filled with good furniture which will even cost much more than ten times Fiona's salary.

In almost three minutes, the entire house was filled with nice furniture but put in the wrong part of the house. In the area where the kitchen was, there were two beds, a locker for weapons which couldn't store Fiona giant and powerful sword, and a window. And in the attic, there was a few kitchen elements there and even a chair where you could relax, and on his left side, is a bookshelf there, filled with books.

I put my wand somewhere safe, on the little table on the left side of the chair, I sit on the comfortable chair, I take a book from that bookshelf, which was pretty close to the chair, and I have started to read a random book. The book I have started to read it is called "Daniel and the Friendly Ghost", a story about a nice ghost who is a friend of a boy whose name is Daniel, and the guy is living was living in a poor family until the ghosts, help Daniel to gain gold after he played with a ghost a nice game of tag. This story is pretty cute for little kids and I am one of them because ten years of old is not a quite good age to be described as an adult.

I didn't even realize it, but when I was about to reach page twelve of this book, I suddenly fell into a very deep sleep. I do not remember what the dream I had but it wasn't a really bad dream because I didn't scream or sweat like a pig on a summer day. But, something has to wake me up after a few hours and it wasn't Fiona or any guy I know. I didn't pay much attention at that point because I was still tired and decided to head downstairs and take one of the bed where are located in the zone who was the kitchen before we arrived here. When I arrived at those bed, I saw Fiona sleeping in one of those beds, without a duvet on her and almost naked, all she had on her were just a pair of women's panties and a bra that was about to fall, I decided to take the duvet that fell from Fiona's bed and wrap it with it because Fiona didn't it must catch a glimpse, and as I said earlier, autumn is approaching. I get on the last bed and I have started to sleep in there like a baby and without being disturbed by anyone.

But this time, while I was sleeping, I dreamed about the girl I saw earlier on the roof, and that dream was a pretty weird one and who just had a little duration. After a few seconds, before the little girl was about to look at me, I have woke up thanks to Fiona, who told me to take my weapon and jump into the cart, because we will have our first fight into this land.
