Einar : The forsaken

Chapter 7: The black mist



A few days after I met Zuria I was called to the council again.

" What do those old gizzars want now " I thought as the guards escorted me to the council hall.

As soon as I stood before the council they attacked me with a barrage of questions,

Who are you?

Where are you from?

Who sent you ?

Can you be trusted ?

After that day I would be summoned regularly and asked the same stupid questions and I would give them the same basic answers as usual.

During my imprisonment under the elves I would observe thier way of life , as my father taught me

" know your enemy before you ever plan an attack ". I mean i Don't necessarily see them as enemies but just in case you know.

As I watched them I noticed their way of life , they way they used magic and all sort of things which Gave me a better understand of them .

And one day out of the blue I was summoned once more to the council." Those old farts" I cried out inside.

As soon as I stood before them the guards made me knee and they all had thier spears pointing at me .

" did I do something?" I calmly asked showing mo signs of fear.

As I looked around i could see fear in all their eyes had something happened?

Then old man Gosu came in and once more our eyes locked .

" Tell me human child , are you the one responsible for the black mist?" He asked me ,

Black mist ? What the hell is talking about

" What black mist? " I asked him Making it very clear I knew Nothing.

And just like a bunch of fighting cats the councilmen all begun yelling.

Don't play dumb

We know you did it

You devil

Just kill him

They went on shouting nonsense like that.

Gosu silenced everyone and spoke .

" As of late a mysterious black mist has appeared in our kingdom and it has caused a massive illness among my people,

Now I ask you one more are you the one responsible ? " he asked once more as he stared me straight in the eyes.

He really had the whole king thing going on.

I chose to remain silent and I assume he got the message that I knew Nothing about this mist he was talking about,

But wait a minute....

Just as soon as the guards were taking me away it hit me .

"A WITCHE !" ,

I exclaimed and the whole hall fell in silence.

My mother was raised and taught by witches and so she taught me how to spot a witch and not only that she taught me secrets known only to witches the basic stuff tho Nothing useful.

" I think your looking for a witch " I said to them.

Gosu sighed and muttered softly.

"I figured as much it has been quite sometime since I last delt with one " .

And this was my opportunity to gain my freedom.

"Let's make a deal ," I Say to them and they all go quite to pay attention,

" I want my freedom and you want your people to be fine, and so let's trade my freedom for the witche's head." I conclude .

"Why should we agree to this ?" One asked and many voices followed in agreement .

And checkmate they fell for my trap.

I walked forward and said ,"witches are known as nature's servants and so killing a witche comes with great consequences, big ones for that matter.

They say who ever kills a witche Will suffer a curse from nature and seeing hoe your elves I don't think you would want to take that risk ,would you ?

But if you let me do it you'll suffer no consequences whatsoever considering I'm an outsider and to make it better I'm not even an elf , its a win , win".

After a brief moment all the council nodded their heads in agreement, and I was assigned to kill the unknown witch and bring back her head in return for my freedom.

As I was about to the leave the hall onec council called out to me and asked.

You are but a child , are you sure you can kill the witch ?"

I looked to him and Gave a sinister grin and replied.

" well of course I am"
