Their way led them along the foot of the Black Mountains, where there were enough watering places, not through the desert, where even the Shwakara could often not find enough living. The hunter had every reason to be careful when he was accompanied by his little daughter, because the traders were mounted and in the open countryside they could not escape them. So they hiked along a dry river bed, where the vegetation was a little thicker and offered some privacy. When the sun was already high,

Dark Goddess Mad

She nodded gratefully and lowered herself carefully - mobilizing her last reserves - down the steep wall. Only in the rough rock of the chimney did she feel safe. Gjefren was also exhausted and tried to really concentrate on every move on the descent. Finally they stood in front of the two warriors and Gjefren was now very impressed both by their stature and by their elaborately crafted black armor. The one who fell first lay there like a carelessly discarded giant doll, destroyed. The other had no obvious wounds."Amazing that you could escape such warriors!" Gjefren looked at her respectfully.“My jump over the bridge was an act of desperation. The alternatives would have been imprisonment and endless agony in the torture chambers of Askhauran. The witch never left me in doubt about that. Drowning or a skullhit on a rock would have been comparatively merciful. ” Gjefren turned away and wanted to go to the camp when suddenly life came into one of the supposed cor

Dark Goddess Lucky

The men seemed to be good climbers, because Gjefren heard loud breathing noises and the occasional gasp but no swearing. Much earlier than expected, he saw a large, hairy hand reach over the edge of the ledge. Nonetheless, he reacted instantly and smashed the big stone at the tarantula-like thing. The hand was withdrawn immediately and Gjefren heard an angry and surprised cry. Then he sat up, lifting the chunk over his head, looked over the edge, looked into the guardsman's ugly face, and let the rock crash down on the man's head. He lost his footing, screamed again and fell down, waving his arms and obviously trying to land legs first, but he couldn't. Gjefren would never forget the expression on his face or the sound of the hitting body.The second pursuer, who now threatened loudly, had been able to hold on, a fact Gjefren had not planned for. The man began to climb down hastily, but Gjefren had already reached for another, much larger rock, lifted it with difficulty, and t

Dark Goddess Stone's throw

Then he saw a glaring flash in the distance and realized almost immediately that the sun was reflected in a helmet. Immediately he took cover behind the bushes that grew on the edge of the plateau. Athaly paused for a moment to then follow his example. "What is it, are they coming?""I saw a light reflex up there." He pointed in the appropriate direction. "I think so."She stared hard and whispered. "Can you make out how many there are?" Gjefren shook his head. “I don't think there's any point in hiding,” she said. “They'll look for my body and won't rest until they find it and bring it back. Or take me prisoner again. They belong to the witch's guard and they know exactly what will happen to them if they return without me. ”“ Which witch? ”He wanted to know.“The witch of Askhauran! She is famous for her cruelty. Nobody knows where she comes from, but rumor has it that she killed the old ruling couple and bewitc

Dark Goddess Donkey

"Athaly. Yes, horses are much faster, at least if the ground isn't too rocky. Horses are not that good at carrying loads, so it might be a good thing that you have a donkey as a companion. ”She looked briefly into space, then seemed to have made up her mind. “Gjefren, there is no point. If they see you with me, they will kill you! Maybe even the donkey, you don't know. I will stay here and wait for her and you will ride further downstream. Hopefully when I'm dead they'll turn around, then you're in no danger! ”Gjefren pretended to be indignant, but was astonished that she was so interested in the fate of a complete stranger. He looked angrily at her. "You don't think I'll let you down!"Athaly nodded. "But! You have to do it. Each of them is a head taller than you and broader shouldered, and the witch is sure to send more than one man after me. You wouldn't even have a chance if you are very practiced in combat. ”She eyed him intently, especially skeptically his u

Dark Goddess Suicide

She still looked confused, but also amused. “Then please thank your Lord on my behalf. By the way, he's not a horse but a donkey. ”“ Not a horse? Then I was betrayed! ”Although Gjefren had no idea what a donkey was usually used for, he thought angrily back to the scene in Merida when it had become the target of general ridicule. He could have been informed of his error. His father could have described these mounts more precisely! Then he would have saved himself so many embarrassments! "Are you sure?"She coughed a little. "Mmm. Definitely. ”And after a short pause:“ Your hair. ”“ What about it? ”“ It shines. Shimmer! ”Involuntarily he grabbed his head. He couldn't forget to put on his leather hood like he had done in Merida. She waited for an answer, but when none came she raised her head to look around and saw her dress. Her eyes, whose lids were half-mast before, widened. He had the impression that her hands were quickly feeling her body under the cover

Dark Goddess Pointless

After a short rummage he found what he was looking for and ran back, holding the opened object in front of her mouth. He put his head next to hers and looked at the reflecting surface, saw that it was fogging up. Well. Pulse.He pressed his index and middle fingers to the side of his neck before it occurred to him that you couldn't breathe without a heartbeat and that this action was pointless. Still, it was very comforting to feel him very slow and weak. So the main problem was hypothermia.He brought the mirror back, got his only fluffy blanket and two towels. He spread the blanket over the flat rock, warm from the sunshine, on which he had previously sat. Then he undid the three buttons on the front of the dress and peeled them off the cold, wet thing by pulling it down over his shoulders. Then he opened her sandals and took them off. Meanwhile, her eyelids moved a little, otherwise she remained passive like a doll.Gjefren took one of the towels and used it

Dark Goddess Your choice

"Come on! Take his life force! ”Anwin looked full of hatred at the healer who had given the order to have him flogged. He was not in a position to do more than this hateful look, he was too weak, bloody welts ran down his back, were on his chest, on his upper arms and even on his face. Anwi

Dark Goddess Healer

The sun had already moved below the edge of the world, but still left a golden border along the sombre silhouette of the mountain peaks. In this twilight the healer appeared with his bodyguards, he was still able to interpret the scene without the help of a torch. A heavily breathing SiVender cro

Dark Goddess Broken eyes

They had to leave their carriages at the junction because the road had become increasingly narrow and bumpy and they didn't want to risk a broken axle or wheel. The healer had taken the path to the edge fortress with the candidate priests and three soldiers, while SiVender hadn't fe

Dark Goddess Friendship

Rassek, the healer, also had little love for mosquitoes and a dull climate and indicated by a nod that he agreed."I can do without five soldiers if that's enough for you," objected W'Heton.“Well, then, if that's all right with you, noble W'Heton, we'll take a carriage, that'
