Chapter Ten: The Chronicles of Chemmis: Awake

Chapter Ten Stone Venzu Village – Monday 0600 The trip to the Witch’s Village was quick on horse back. We moved swiftly via a portal near the Moat of Castle Five Rock. Still, I felt as if my life was moving in slow motion, like in a human horror movie. I was stuck in the scene just before the victim meets the killer. You check everything and it all seems in order, but still there is a sense that you missed something important. I had that feeling now. As if we were going in the wrong direction, or asking the wrong questions. My melancholy could be related to the fact that I did not sleep much after my visit to the Mellow Marsh. On returning to the castle, I was exhausted but sleep would not come. I wandered the halls and met my best friend Alex who was on patrol. She told me what I had missed the day before.

The lamassu, roared with laughter and moved off me. Rubbing at my chest, I tried to ease the pain of my aching ribs.The creature stalked around me grinning at my pain.

The Chronicles of Chemmis: Awake: Chapter Eight

CHAPTER EIGHT STONE Vira-na-Nog Province  1800 Sunday My lungs burned as I took a deep breath. Odd, I didn’t think you were suppose to feel pain when you were dead. So, the obvious answer was I was still alive because someone saved me. My eyelids felt as heavy as lead, and I could only opened them a fraction. Everything was black and against my own accord, my eyes fell shut again. Panicking, I touched my face and felt something wet and cold, over my forehead and eyes. ‘Don’t take it off unless you want to be blind,’ a sweet female voice said. That voice sounded young, not the croaky voice of the Willow Witch that I remembered. ‘Where am I?’ I asked. I felt a movement near me. ‘In a safe place,’ she said. I remembered falling into the marsh and thinking there was no way, I was surviving this, but here I am. Where that was I did not know exactly, but I was alive. ‘You saved me from the Marsh?’ It was more of an admission than a question. ‘Yes,’ she said, and I
