Cain smiled, staring at the four won they caught. "Take them to the ship and have Alice look at them. After that, I will milk as much information as I can from them." Kayden, Chad, and Zaleria started dragging the won inside while Cain looked back at the island thinking about what he just discussed with Kayden.
'Five ladies? The crow, the finger, the liver, the dimple, and the tooth…all of those are witches?' Cain thought. 'I'm called the necromancer and my sister is called Inferno, all witches have a nickna related to their main power.' Morena stated.
'I know that. Kayden said the liver created the flesh golem he fought which kind of shows their powers. Do you think they are dragons?'
'No way, the nas sound too weak for a dragon to carry.' Morena replied with a snore and then added 'How about you send and sister, add that ice witch Bela and her daughter, even Sofia and let's have a full-on witch war.'
'Just Zaleria alone will destroy this whole place, sending you all will sink the island.'
"Cain, I healed them!" Alice called him from the deck, the four won were ready so he flew over.
Thud! He landed and saw the four won tied with ropes to the mast, shivering upon seeing his face. He can't bla them for being scared, Kayden clearly had six eyes in the background glaring at them.
"Now, now, where should I start…" Cain pulled a chair and glared at them, "You're free to choose. Speak on your own and then can stay here on the ship under our protection till the witches are dealt with. Refuse to speak and I will get to make you talk."
He took a deep breath, "There are two major ways to get information from you. Torture or magic. Magic will leave you like empty husks so it's better avoided."
"Torture on the other hand is more fun, I can either carve your bodies until you speak or carve your minds. Both are extrely painful. But don't worry, I will start slow so you can get used to it."
"First, I will carve your nails and teeth out…"
As Cain kept talking, Kayden watched him wondering why was he talking a lot, he should just get to it. But surprisingly, after about half an hour of explaining how he is going to torture them, they started speaking on their own.
Cain was the only one who didn't beat his attacker senselessly, this was a reason they can trust him. Also hearing how they are going to be tortured first was torture on its own.
Ladies of the silent mount. The witches of crooken berg, the third mountain of this island, the one covered in the wilderness.
Just a bit after the pirate dock there is a small village ford from the pirate families and relatives, it's like a normal village, as anyone you can see on land. But since it's isolated, the people had made a deal with the witches.
The deal was to cure diseases, avert bad weather and plagues, and as well bless them with bountiful harvests and powerful children. The witches posed as servants of Umberlee so their claims seed legit.
For the past twenty years, the witches have been doing their part wonderfully. The only downside was their strange prices. Five maidens each year are to be sent to their mount, but no one returned. On top of this, the village provides them with food, and clothes and sotis runs errands for them, like this one.
You can't just go to et them, their mountain is on an isolated island with powerful sea monsters guarding it, and they also said the mountain itself is fully trapped. The only way in is when the ladies call you, a stone path forms on the water surface that the maidens will walk on. If anyone tried, they will drown and get eaten by the monsters.
To heal people, the witches request the sick person to be dipped in seawater at the shore facing their mount, the path will then open. You then need to send a small child no older than six years old alone across the stone path, which will bring the dicine with him a few minutes later.
Cain slowly stood up, "Well then, let's et those witches." He flicked his finger, ZON! A blue portal opened up and Bela leaped from it with an excited smile.
