CHAPTER 19

-

Newark picked the body up and carefully placed it above his shoulders. The preacher was murmuring something.

“The plan is to dispose his body near the dagger knot hills” said Elena.

“Alright. We’ll have to hurry, this guy is stinking”

Elena opened the chamber door, scanned the outside, and showed a thumbs up to Newark. There was a glow coming out of the interiors of the clan area, like a lot of flames were lit inside. Elena took the lead and Newark followed her. The preacher groaned as Newark ran. They reached the foot of the hills and spotted the figure of a Shader in the darkness. It made chewing sounds as it fed on a small corpse.

"Dude! It's your lucky day!" shouted Newark and threw the preacher's body towards the Shader.

Elena and Newark started walking back with the preacher's screams ringing in the background.

"I'm hungry too" said Newark rubbing his stomach.

"We've got a room to ourselves now. I saw lots to drink there" smiled Elena.

"I also wanted to tell you something" she added.

Newark stopped walking "What?" he said, failing to hide a grin.

"The preacher told me that one Aquadom was involved with the Ferodiums in their conspiracy"

Newark's jaw dropped down in horror. There was a sudden explosion in the sky, over the Ferodium clan area. A huge cloud of fire ignited with an intense light, hanging in the sky, like a giant light bulb. There was a loud roar of people inside the clan territory.

"What's happening in there?” asked Newark.

“We’ll have to find that out!” replied Elena staring hard at the cloud of fire.
