72 Chapter 70: The Town Down The Hill (2/2)
Luther snapped his fingers and suddenly everyone felt like they were weightless...as if they were floating in absolute nothingness.
Ivery opened her eyes and she found herself standing in the middle of a forest. She turned around and saw Luther, Danya, and Yannel standing in front of a huge cave hole.
”Yeah...I feel sick..” Danya gagged
Eness threw up in one of the nearby bushes.
”Ugh...” Danya covered her mouth as she saw Eness throwing up, it only made her feel more nauseous
Yannel covered his mouth, feeling like something was about to come up as his stomach churned...
”Here.” Luther returned the map back to Ivery
Ivery looked around and all she saw was endless trees.
”New power?” Ivery asked Luther
”Force teleportation.” Luther nodded
”Do you feel alright?” Luther asked her
”No, my stomach feels like it's turning..” Ivery said as she tried to hold back her gag reflex
”Sorry.” Luther apologized
”It's fine, I'm fine, it worked out in the end so...let's continue..” Ivery told him
Ivery looked down at the map and started walking down the given direction. The three of them followed right behind her as she led the way.
Ivery stopped walking and stood on a hill, as she looked down, she saw a small town not too far away. She looked at the map and the only town that was nearby and located by the forest they were in was called Hambrook.
”Is that a town!?” Danya's eyes lit up
”Looks like it.” Ivery nodded
”Finally we can rest..” Yannel smiled
”Can we go? Please!” Danya pleaded
”Let's check it out before we decide to stay there...” Ivery said
”Okay...” Danya sighed
...
Ivery had to put Eness in a sack again since people don't take kindly to dragons and will unhesitantly kill a baby dragon if they saw one.
They made their way down the hill and headed straight for the town that was in their sights. After a long walk down, they finally reached the town.
Just as they were walking up to the town entrance the two guards standing by the gate crossed their long spears.
”Passes.” The guard told them
”Passes...?” Danya didn't think a small town like this needed passes for entry
”Oh, we have so many different towns passes on us, can you show me what the passes for this town look like?” Ivery asked
”This.” The guard pulled out a small slightly rusted bronze card and showed Ivery
Ivery put her right hand behind her back and created four lookalike passes.
Ivery waved her hand behind her back, signaling for them to get the passes. They noticed what she had done and each took a pass for themselves without the guards noticing.
They showed the guards their passes and they lifted their spears and allowed the four of them to enter.
They all looked around the town and saw the townspeople walking around and going about their businesses. So far everything seemed normal and nothing was suspicious. The only thing that was bothering them was an odd stench that seemed to be everywhere...
”I'll go find an inn!” Danya excitedly ran off
”This girl...” Ivery sighed and followed behind Danya
Yannel shrugged and followed Ivery and Danya. Luther, however, did not follow them. He walked further into the town and wanted to make sure this town was safe since Danya didn't give them all a chance to get a better look at the town before deciding to rest here.
Luther felt like something was off, he had a strange feeling of dread within him and he didn't know why.
And the stench that this town had was very familiar to Luther, it was definitely the smell that a rotting corpse would have..
Luther's eyes turned black and then he finally understood the reason he felt this way...
Luther saw the town for what it really was, it was a town full of the undead...every person he saw walking around was actually walking corpses that believed that they were still alive. The atmosphere was dark and foggy, as if the sun that was just out didn't even exist in the first place...
Luther's black eyes changed back and suddenly everything around him was just as it was before, the town was completely normal and the townspeople looked like regular people. It seemed that with normal sight, the truth of this town was unable to be seen with human eyes...
”What the hell is going on here....?” Luther said to himself
