The three of them walked around, ignoring everyone. People around them are all feasting over jugs of wine and chunks of meat. They are all having a good time. They are singing unfamiliar tunes while dancing around the campfire. The three of them sat on a corner watching the people.  "This is tedious" Virgil lets out a deep sigh.  "You're fucking right." Daniel sighed as well.  "I want to leave this place," said Katherine.  "Aren't we all?" Daniel lets out another deep sigh.  "We'll wait for a right timing then we'll get out of here." Virgil scratched her chin.  "God I hate my life," Daniel complained.  The three of them went silent. They just sat in their spot, watching people enjoy themselves. Daniel looked around. He saw the chieftain conversing with other people. They are laughing while drinking liquor. Daniel kept his eye on the man. He observed his actions, carefully. The chieftain seems

"Why would I hand my special guests to you?" Horcus folded his arms while raising an eyebrow.  "Their kinds are more suitable to live with our more civilized tribe," Azermonth replied.  "Do you really think I'll allow you to steal away these people? We found them first, therefore, we own them!" said Horcus.  "If you don't hand the newcomers to me, there will be bloodshed," Azermonth warned.  "Looks like your tribe is not civilized at all." Horcus smirked.  Daniel just watched the tribe leaders while they are arguing. Virgil and Katherine observed them as well. They kept debating over who should keep the three newcomers. Daniel poked Virgil's shoulder.&nb

The three of them bid farewell to Serbrus. They thanked him for helping them get out of their tough situation. They entered the tunnel that will lead them to their next destination. They found the tunnel at a forest, below a cliff that lies at the edge of it. All of them looked at each other, took a deep breath, then they all entered the dark and quiet tunnel. The tunnel they are currently trailing has a warmer atmosphere. Sweat started trickling down their skins. The hot breeze of air makes it difficult for them to even breath. "Why is it so hot in here?" Daniel wiped away the sweat that is trickling down from his forehead. "I'm already soaked in sweat!"  Katherine complained. The fabric of her clothes are starting to stick to her skin. Random wet marks are starting to appear in the area of her tops that lies over her

The tree man escorted them into the woods. They walked through the path that is filled with tall trees, grass and bushes. While walking, Virgil explained to the tree man that they are just staying in the settlement for a while because they need a place to stay for the night. The tree man expressed that he understands their situation. It took them several minutes before reaching the end of the forest. Upon emerging from it they were greeted by the sight of three tree people, gathering around a campfire. Their appearances are almost similar except for their faces and the shape of their bodies. One tree has a straight body. He is called Tree Number Seventy Seven. The other one has a body with curves and she has a face of an average woman, They call her tree Number One Hundred and Six. The last one has a body that is surrounded by roots and vines. He is called Tree Number Five Hundred Sixty. All of the trees don't have a name. They are all identified through numbers. The numbers assigne

The dry leaves made a crunching sound as the three of them step on them. The forest is a little bit dark and shady. The ray of orange light that is coming from the sky is peeking through the leaves of the tall trees around them. The forest is quiet. What awaits them in the end is a mystery to Katherine and Daniel. Virgil on the other hand, knows what is the abomination that they should be expecting. Daniel panted a few times, trying to catch his breath. He's starting to feel tired because they have been trailing the woods for several hours. Katherine is starting to feel exhausted as well.  Her legs are starting to ache. Virgil looked at them and saw how tired they are.  "Maybe we should stop for a while," she suggested.  "Good idea! I need to catch a few breaths," Katherine agreed.  They found a tree with exposed roots. The roots are big enough for them to sit on. They decided to sat on it. Katherine grabbed a bottled water from her bag. S
