I can't believe that, I should stare at a snake to prove my braveness. This is interesting but scary at the same time. I thought that this was just a thing in the movies. I stare at the basket in confusion. I can't really understand why they put that snake there. I thought I would be chased by wolves again not staring at a snake. Am in a complete state of panic. This intense fear is fluttering my tummy. I feel like running away now from this misery that I have put myself into for the sake of exerting revenge. Anxiety is eclipsing my thoughts as I attempt to open the basket.
"You can do this. Just focus", Luka encourages me. Am feeling better knowing he is still around. I open the basket and the snake starts to stare at me. I stare at it too without blinking. It doesn't stop and am beginning to get tired of doing this. It's not that easy.
It opens its mouth and hisses at me. I yell frightened as I start to run. I feel a deep sharp pain in my left leg. I can't walk, the pain is so intense. I sit on the ground as I watch the snake circulate my body.
"Fight Blake", Luka yells in my head. I start to fight it as well. It's almost covering my entire body. If I don't do anything about this will be dead.
I stretch my hand and the magical sword appears. It bites me again, I scream so loud angrily. I lift my sword and cut off its head. It Immediately dies and I sign in relief.
"Use that sword to heal your wounds", Luka informs me. How is even that possible?
"How can I do that", I ask.
"Just place it on the wound", he instructs me and I obey.
"Ooouch..", it's so painful doing this. Are these people planning to kill me with their torments and torture? After a few minutes, I heal completely.
I head towards the basket to get that razila. The basket isn't open as I left it. Ooh no!!! I hope there is no snake there again.
"Be quick", Luka yells at me. I have no option now. I have to open it again. I open it and another snake appears. Its color is different from the first one. A cold intense wave embalms me as my hairs rise rapidly. Goosebumps cover my whole body. I stare at it more confidently than the first one. I don't want to waste more time. As it opens its mouth wide.
Every muscle in my body screamed at me to flee, but I remained frozen staring at it intensively. A part of me wants to gallop or vanish from here. But I can't do that, I haven't come this far to give up now. I must fight and conquer this serpent.
I don't shake or blink. It relaxes and goes back to the basket. I stand confused of what I should do.
Should I put my hand inside to take the razila?
As I think a small bag comes out of the basket. A tulipa and an ancient key are the only things inside.
"Which is the razila", I question Luka. He informs me that the tulipa is the razila. I thought that the razila might be a crown or a precious stone.
"So you have to deliver the razila before it loses all its petals. In each hour it loses one petal and thus making it weaker. Hurry up and go to the incredible village", Luka informs me as I step out of the chamber that had the razila. The black butterflies surround me and in no time I vanish.
"Wooow", the village is so incredible as its name. There is nothing eerie or scary about this place.
"Welcome to the incredible village. We are here to serve you and make your journey better and more interesting", a guard at the gate informs me. He is well built and so handsome. One would think that he is an angel since he looks so innocent and harmless.
"Thank you for your warm welcome. I want to see your master. Where should I begin", I go straight to the point.
"Just enter, follow that road and walk straight till the end. You will see our castle", he explains.
"Thank you", this is good it seems that my stay here will be better.
"Hello am Blake am here to see your master", I inform one of the guards. He stares at me intensively without speaking a word. He is so rude and arrogant than the first one. Who the hell does he think he is to give me such an attitude.
"We have been waiting for you. Just wait at the lobby first you will be called", he finally speaks.
I sit in the lobby as I wait to be summoned. This place doesn't feel like a horrific place or a haunted castle. Its environment is so cool and amazing. As I think a young lady stands in front of me. Her confidence makes her look so sexy and attractive. I can't believe am starting to crush on this girl in front of me. I don't know if she is a reptile or daimon. But am impressed with what am seeing now.
"Am Magnolia follow me", she says and I obediently do that. We enter a strange room. It had a sofa bed and lots of candles around it. The room just had one piece of furniture.
"Relax first. We are here to entertain you Blake", she grins at me widely. She looks too good to be true.
"Give me a minute will be back", she says leaving the room. I am so curious of what will happen next. I hope she won't come back as a snake or an ogre.
In no time the door opens as she enters the room dancing. I gape as I stare at what she was wearing. She's so beautiful and more attractive than before. Two other ladies dressed like her enter the room. They dance seductively around me.
"Relax... you should enjoy this moment", Magnolia whispers. I can feel her hot breath and that sensation tingled my nape.
"Aaaah... I want to see your master first", I don't want to waste more time.
"Ssssh.... you will see the master. But first, enjoy this moment. Rise and let's dance", she instructs me. I rise hastily following her lead.
