CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE “Yeah, let’s go guys!” Lucy responded excitedly, but as soon as she took the first step toward the hut, Patrick drew her backward, causing her to stagger and almost fall to the ground. “What? What is it?” “What were you trying to do, Lucy? You can’t just go in there without a plan. If we are doing this, we are doing it together, and we will go in at once.” Patrick said, and Seth supported him at once.“Yes! He is right! We are definitely doing this together! I think it’s better that way!” The Centaur said with a nod while he moved closer to Patrick, almost sticking his body to his side. Lucy took in a deep breath, and when she let it out, she turned to look at Patrick, who was already staring at her with several thoughts running through his mind concerning how strange she had been acting. “So, what is the plan? What do you think we should do?” Lucy asked in a low tone while everyone waited to hear what he was going to say, including Heather, even though she

CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO Patrick saw the eagerness written all over Lucy, and he felt it was really strange. She seemed more excited than the rest of the group, and that really bothered him even though he kept his thoughts to himself. “Let’s leave at once; there is no time,” Lucy said with a resolute tone while she looked at the others who remained standing, and she started to walk toward the rocky path that led to the hut. She walked for a while without stopping, but when she noticed that the others were still standing where she left them, she stopped instantly and turned to look at them. “What are you guys waiting for? Come on, there is no time!” She gestured to them instantly, and then she waited for them to start walking toward her. “Let’s go, guys…” Borius said, even though it was evident from his voice that he wasn’t sure about going close to the hut; he had sworn allegiance to Lucy, and that made him decide to go with her. “Are you sure about that, Borius?” Heather asked her b

CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE “Lucy?” “Yes! Yes, I am here! I am okay! I am fine!” Lucy drifted back to reality, and then she nodded instantly to affirm her words, but Patrick was still skeptical about the response she gave to him, even though her smile stood as a backup for her claims. Patrick observed her for a while out of concern, and when he saw something strange about her, he couldn’t stop pointing it out. “Your dagger? Where is it?” Patrick asked in a low tone, looking all over Lucy for the dagger she seemed to be very fond of. “Mmmh?” Lucy mumbled almost immediately, looking all over herself as though she was completely clueless about what he was talking about while the others turned to look at her as well. “I meant your dagger, the one you said was very special to you. Where is it?” “Oh! That?” Lucy chuckled as though she had finally come back to her senses while everyone waited to hear what she was going to say. “I don’t know, it must have fallen off somewhere,” Lucy said calm

CHAPTER SEVENTY The sounds of strange chirping and noisy rustling met their eyes a few minutes into the woods, and they felt chilly tingles engulfing their bodies. “Are we not there yet?” Seth asked in a whisper, looking around while he tried to take complete control of his shaky legs that displayed the fright that was trying to totally get rid of his nervousness. The path ahead of them was filled with a lot of dry leaves that had fallen from the trees, and with each step they took came several rustlings that made them wary of the party ahead of them, but Lucy seemed a bit calm even though she was walking slowly as though she was trying to avoid a snare set along the path they trod on. “Are we not there yet?” Borius asked nervously, looking at Lucy, who turned around slowly to look at him with a smile on her face. “Almost, Borius. We are almost there.” She said without letting go of her smile, and then she returned her gaze to the direction she was headed and continued walking at

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE “What do you think, Seth? What does this mean?” Patrick asked politely, looking at Seth, who briefly looked around him before he returned his gaze to Patrick. “Well? Do you have anything to tell us?” “Why don’t you let him think properly, Heather?” Borius said angrily, and then he grunted at his sister’s behavior, which was making him really angry. “Alright, I will not speak again, I promise.” Heather lifted her hands to indicate full surrender while she held onto her weapons. “I really hope you keep to your promise. This is not the time to be sarcastic, Heather. Let him do what he knows how to do.”“And I already said I was not going to speak again, Borius! He can go ahead and do whatever he wants to do; I am not stopping him, am I?” Heather said almost immediately, and then she changed her gaze from her brother to Seth, who was staring at him with an expression that showed that he didn’t believe her. “I am sorry, Seth. I am sorry for being so unreasonable. P

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT “Patrick? What do you think?” Borius asked coldly, looking at Patrick, who stared at him for a while without saying a word. Again, Heather wasn’t pleased that her brother was asking the Human for his opinion, but for some reason, she decided to be quiet about it even though her countenance showed the displeasure that she was unable to hide. “This is really a tough situation, Borius. I am not sure what to think about this. We might end up in a very difficult and deadly situation if we continue without the map, and it is already looking like we are going to be meeting worse situations with each passing moment.” Patrick said eventually, and Heather scoffed with a smirk on her face. “Of course, he will not have any meaningful thing to say.” She said only to her hearing, and even though Patrick heard something from her that he wasn't sure of, he decided to maintain his decision of ignoring her tantrums. “Do you guys think Dwayne left us to continue the mission all
