I had to hold my tongue when we came out of the mansion, it was late evening and the day was already dark
Passing different civilians who looks warm and friendly, I soon realize there was a small gathering ahead. Gently passing through the crowd, I saw a woman tied to the stake
"she's a witch and must die!" a man screamed as the crowd lifted their voices in support
"witch!" a man spat to his side with disgust
"she must die!" another said still with hatred in his eyes
I watched as different accuses were layed on her. The executor came matching towards the woman with a burning wood....
"WHAT CHARGES DO YOU HAVE AGAINST THIS WOMAN!" a loud voice asked from behind.
Looking back, I saw a man with a quite long black hair, and stunning appearance. He rode upon a horse with some others behind
"Oh! she's a witch!" the man said trying to cover his image
"evidence?" the horse man asked again
"erm..."
"you don't have evidence and yet you want to burn this woman alive just because of some silly rumors..... Reginald, I sentence you to terms in prison for attempt murder!" the man stated
Reginald, who was the man holding the gathering quickly went on his heels before the guards arrested him.
I was closer to him and had to do something, so I used my boot to trap his way hoping he will trip. He actually fell flat on the ground because I blocked his way, the guards quickly held him and he was led to a carriage
"you did a good deed maiden!" the man on the horse said not facing me, he just continued patrolling
That means thanks if you ask me.
"Lee, I found my friend" I heard williams say. Rushing towards him, he showed me a way through the alley. I followed him and before we knew it, there was an opening. Entering inside, I saw man in his late thirties. He sat down sipping a beer and when he saw me, his face lit up
"oh, so this is your friend Williams, she's such a wonderful beautiful girl" the man complimented and I could only smile
"I know she's stunning" Williams added to the compliment and my face now turned red
"looks like our lady here is blushing so let's end it here to prevent further uncomfortableness" the man said adjusting his sitting position
"okay, the compliments were wonderful but Williams told me you can translate this for me" I brought out the case and the man's eyes went wide
"where did you find this?" he asked collecting it from my hands
"Zinbous Jude's house" I replied
"well, this item you hold in your hand was made by a man who was very close to a demon lord" he didn't think twice before opening it and saw the scrolled paper
He touched the paper gently before reading the words....
'And a day shall come when
darkness would crave for the
destruction of light, not only
light, but everything living
thing. And nothing can stop it
except...'
"except for what?" I asked urgently
"calm down, I'm trying to read the words, it's quite confusing" the man said before continuing
'except for the light that will
continuously shine in the
abyss! A light that will bring
others together, a light who is
from darkness'.
Williams and me were totally confused by the words, it was saying something, trying to mean something, but what?
