"I'm going to go to the stream to get drinking water," nde said.
"Okay. Don't linger there for too long!" Ebony replied. Today, she plans to add an extension to the cultivated area near the entrance of the cave.
The soil is excellent for growing vegetables and herbal dicine around the cave.
nde picked up the jar and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
She's been waiting for this day to co for a long ti.
Today, she's going back to the abandoned manor and find her missing grandmother!
She exited the cave and walked in the direction of the stream.
A mont later.
Ebony erged from the entrance of the cave holding the machete in her right hand, she began to work.
anwhile...
nde finally reached the stream. She put the jar under the shade of the tree and scanned the area around her. She will wait for a few minutes, just in case her sister followed her!
A few minutes later, Ebony was nowhere in sight.
Good!
Ti to leave!
She initiated the teleportation process in her mind and vanished from the place in the blink of an eye.
She reappeared a mont later in front of the abandoned manor located in the middle of the forest. The whole place still looks the sa.
She walked towards the main door.
With just a gentle push on her hand, the door opened right away. She entered the place and walked towards the living room. All she can hear around her is deafening silence. Does it an that the place was abandoned already?
Suddenly, she heard the sounds of a door closing. It's located at the end of the hallway. She was about to head there, but a male voice suddenly spoke behind her.
"Oh, we have another visitor!" he said.
nde spun around and was shocked to see an old man standing a few ters behind her. "W-who are you?" she asked.
"I am the owner of this place. And who are you? What are you doing here coming to my property without knocking on the door first!? How bold you are!" the old man reprimanded the intruder.
"I'm here to save my grandmother! Where did you imprison my grandmother! Bring to here at once! Or else I will burn this whole place to the ground!" nde threatened him.
The old man erupted into peals of laughter. "Little girl... you're so bold! For so reason, you amused . What you got? Are you more powerful and capable than ? You are so bold to co here and order around! I can easily crush you in my hands like an ant!" he warned her.
nde took a deep breath and chanted a spell. He blew air towards the old man.
The old man stopped laughing and stood rooted on the spot. What the hell is going on! He can't move his body. "What did you do to !?" he asked the girl in surprise and disbelief.
nde smiled smugly and went to the old man's side. She forcibly opened his mouth and dropped a brown pellet inside. "You talk too much and you underestimate !" she said, grinning triumphantly.
She walked towards the couch and made herself comfortable. It only takes a few seconds and the old man will finally lose his power. That is the ti she can order him around.
Five minutes later.
nde stood up and walked to the side of the old man. "I drop a brown pellet in your mouth. It is powerful enough to suppress your power. Don't worry, I have the antidote with though," she explained cheekily and unfreeze him.
The old man was finally able to move his body parts, he jumped at the intruder but nde was quick enough to move away from him before he can touch her skin.
The old man opened his palm about to unleash his deadly weapon, but nothing cos out! He can no longer wield his power! How did it happen? He looked at the girl. How co this girl holds so much power? She doesn't even look like soone powerful to him.
"I told you earlier, only by ingesting the antidote you can finally regain your power back! But I won't give you the antidote unless you bring to my grandmother first!" nde shouted. She was enraged that the old man is not taking her seriously.
Suddenly, a fragrant sll drifted into the air. Like the scent of a rose coming from the garden.
nde ignored the sll.
The old man spoke. "Okay, I'll bring you to where we imprisoned your grandmother. But you must promise that after you see your grandmother you will give the antidote!" he said.
"Okay, I will give you the antidote if my grandmother and I can finally leave this place safely! If not then, you will never get your power back! I warned you, don't play tricks on !" nde warned him.
"Alright, I will take you to your grandmother. Follow !" the old man said and walked towards the direction of the garden.
nde followed the old man, she put a safe distance between them so that she won't be startled just in case the old man will jump at her again.
They exited the manor and walked outside, passing the blooming garden. They walked towards the end of the garden.
nde saw a hut, hundred ters away from the garden. "Old man, where are you taking ? You better make sure that you're leading to my grandmother or else I will kill you! I'm not joking! I'm serious!" she told him nacingly.
The old man stopped walking and looked at her, he pointed his hand at the hut. "Can you see that hut? We imprisoned your grandmother there!" he said.
"Continue walking!" nde ordered. While walking she constantly scanned the area looking for the old man's companion. She was looking for Rigor. Where is he? He might suddenly attack her at any given mont.
The old man was walking slowly as if he was taking his ti.
"Old man, where is Rigor? Why I can't see him around the house?" she asked.
The old man stopped walking and looked at her. "My son is looking for Evelyn, traveling from town to town to find his missing wife. He is going crazy after losing the girl!" he said shaking his head.
"But they're not married yet!" nde said.
"Marriage is only for humans. In our clan, as long two creatures are in love with each other, they're already considered a couple," the old man explained.
nde sighed. "Continue walking!" she ordered.
The old man resud walking going to the hut at a slow pace.
nde was infuriated with the old man's sluggish walking. By the ti they reach the hut, it would be nightti already. She released a deep sigh. "Why are you walking so slowly!?"
The old man looked at her. "Child, have you have no respect for older people? You stripped of my power and now you asked why I'm walking slowly? I'm already old and my bones are not as strong compared before. Without my power, I'm just a useless old man! So don't asked why I'm walking slowly! Rember, you turned into this!" he glared at her.
nde sighed and rolled her eyes. "Continue walking!" she ordered.
The old man resud walking, a bit faster this ti.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the hut.
The old man pushed the door open and stepped inside, followed by nde.
The mont they're inside. nde waved his hand at the old man, freezing him on the spot, from his neck down to his toes.
"You don't have to feeze again!" the old man protested.
nde ignored the disgruntled look on the old man's face. "Where is my grandmother!?" she snapped at him.
"Inside the room," the old man replied.
There's only one room in the hut.
nde walked towards it and opened the door, dreading what she's going to see inside.
