Chapter 25

"The good goblin you know has always being a monster to me, a ferocious beast. A more evil goblin to me. Who left me alone in the deep sea of love, drowning alone." The witch's voice was milder, her silhouette was far from us, amongst the smokes, she was standing alone in cape with a hoodie.

"What happened?" Kyar asked her.

"I was in love with the only creature that seemed to understand why I was killing, even when everyone else saw the bad side of me, only the RedCap bastard saw the good side and together, we were very happy and stayed together in his castle. Then a faithful day came, once in the year, he went out from the castle, with bloodstains all over him, he came with a grin on his face, and a two heads in his hands. I was wrong about not telling him of my children in the Soul Kingdom. As I saw him come in with the heads that looked familiar to me, I knew I was with the wrong person. How could he kill them? My family will be at the risk of death, even I will be in the danger of death or banishment. I was shocked days after the day, when the evil goblin brought in the two heads, which he kept at the entrance of the castle. Armies matched in, with swords and spears. The evil goblin had made a run for it, left me behind in the castle alone, I had no ways to make myself clean from the guilt, but just follow the armies. I got to the Soul Kingdom and found my children dead. I was accused wrongly, of killing the king's children. The RedCap never showed up again, even when I was banished, he still never showed up, I utterly destroyed to this place, since it was the origin of the RedCap, as a revenge on him, and since then, I have kept his vengeance in mind, and waited for you."

"Why?" I was calmer with my words

"I know you would come one day, and with your help, I can have my revenge on him, the useless RedCap." She said angrily.

"You can just..."

"ENOUGH" the witch came in between my words. "Just do it. All you have to do is go to the ruined castle in the Cold burning mountain."

"The Cold burning mountain is like a day walk from here." Kyar was face was cold immediately. The witch was not answering anymore, instead she just make the place like it was when we got there. Kyar was frustrated, as she threw her pouch, to the floor. She walked in circle and sat on a heap of bricks.

I encouraged her not to get bored about it, but let us go instead. She agreed and we went together, to the unicorn. It flew from the ground, there was a line in the clouds, that was not there before, leading to a place. Kyar guessed that it would lead to the Cold burning mountain, since the same mountain, was in the south, the same place the line was drawn too.

We started the Journey, with the unicorn. We got to a very dry ground, a desert. The place started to shake, the unicorn neighed loudly and stopped midway, as the dusts started to multiply, ashes was formed with the dusts, and sands came together with it. The place was shaky more and more. The unicorn was forced by me to go upward more, it refused and fell us down instead. The unicorn left us, to fall. Kyar, brought her wings out, held me and flew into a small cave that was in the place as a shield against the sandstorm.

After the sandstorm stopped, we got out and Kyar suggested to fly us there, even if she couldn't fly a long time with another person, she have to try it, so we would get there easily.

The line stoped about a kilometer from the sandstorm, we stopped there to take a a look at what was beneath. The place was the only happy environment we have stepped since the journey started. The mountains there were many and beautiful, they reached the clouds and some where small. The only desolate place there was seen afar from the high mountain, that we landed on.

A few ruined castles that was at the midst of eight tall mountains, of which we were standing on one. I got very exhausted and made a seat for it. I sat down in a clean spot, at the middle of the mountain. The place was also good, cool and the air was fresh. The smokes that was fuming from the mountain's trees and top made them call it the Cold burning mountain.

I packed a couple of leaves together, made them look like a nice portable bed, and it helped a lot. Kyar stood and watch me do everything. As I was through with everything, Kyar jumped in it. The leaves were piled up, enough to endure a fall.

She laughed at me from the leave bed. I stood with my hands by my side, a little frustrated and happy, since Kyar had never laughed to me that way. To me, it was romantic. She watched me again, build another one. She left the previous one for it.

I slept by her, in the new one. It was wide enough to contain us, we slept, facing the clouds from the leaves open spaces. My hand was under my head, so as Kyar too.

I turned my head to her, I watched her beautiful face, smiling. I felt the feeling a long time ago, her face was beautiful in the human body.

We change our form, whenever we're not fighting, she help me change into the beast form with a powder she gave me after the first realm fight. She told me, I would get used to it when the powder is finished. It was a powder for bad mood. I would get angry for no reason until I find a reason. A sniff would work for three turns only.

She turned to look at me again, I closed my eyes, she was surprised to see me asleep that quick. She rubbed my cheek softly and slept off, I watched her sleep mode, with my awake till the night came near.

I stood up when the night came, I went to a nearby tree, with many branches, the three was a dwarf tree. I started to think about the visions about my family, how grown they became and how their mum's new husband makes her life a miserable one. They missed me, tear rolled down my face. A hand came and wiped them off for me.
