Day 031: Something Isn’t Right Here.
“So… I guess we could speculate.” Athvor said. “We could believe that he took the weapons to someone who was preparing to fight the evil army.”
“He might took weapons to evil army” Said Eeno in his broken speech.
“I really don’t want to believe that.” Nynn sniffed. She tried desperately to hold back her emotions. “He was a good man. He would never do anything that would hurt another person. I mean… I didn’t understand why he had those weapons in the first place.”
No one spoke for several moments. It was eerie. All that could be heard was the crackling of nearby fires. The birds weren’t even singing. In fact Athvor noticed for the first time that he didn’t recall any birds singing since they had landed in the village. It was the same thing that had happened when they were at the battlefield… ground zero. It was like the animals knew that there was something evil in village and would not return till that evil had moved on.
“Something’s not right here.” Athvor said. “You haven’t seen any of those creatures hanging around looking for survivors have you?” He looked around a bit more then turned back towards Nynn.
“No. It has been quiet since they moved south. It seemed that they were on the way to battle.” She found a place to sit on the stones that made a circle in the center of the village. These stones were meant as a meeting place for the villagers. Now it was a pile of rubble. The evil army knew what it signified and made a point to knock it down as they moved through small straw and mud buildings. “In fact, I remember seeing the smoke rising from multiple fires in the direction they marched, From here we could see some of the flying beasts they used to attack the other army.”
