Chapter 15 - The Curse (2/2)

My plan was working, she started following the footsteps I had made earlier and along the way, she would find a new item of clothing that belonged to one of her sons. I used my own footprints as they were about the same size as her sons.

She continued to follow the items of clothing I had laid out along with the footprints until she arrived at the black forest. She stood still waiting outside for a while.

This was the only part of my plan that I was unsure off, would she go into the forest knowing that her son might be alive? judging by the drastic actions she had taken so far on me for revenge. I betted on their being a good chance she would.

The women gritted her teeth and walked in slowly. Each time she would pick up a new piece of clothing and take it with her. Up till this point, she had been calling out there names but now that she was in the forest she knew to be very careful.

I had been following her from above in the trees since she had entered the forest carefully waiting for the right moment. Then the women stopped.

”It's too dangerous I've gone in too deep, maybe I should turn back?” she said.

As she said those words I dropped the bucket on top of her. Out came a dark black sticky liquid which had drenched the women from head to toe. The bucket had been filled with Beast blood.

When I went into the forest earlier that day, it was not only to train myself but also to get the blood of the basic tier beast. They were attracted to the smell of beast blood from basic tiers as they knew it was a weak creature who had been injured. If I were to use a higher tier beast blood it would have the opposite effect. Unless there was something stronger than it in that area.

The women looked at the bucket on the ground.

”Who did this?” she shouted.

I jumped down from the tree above revealing my self standing directly opposite her.

”You, your eye's.... I knew you were cursed. I was right to try to get rid of you!” she said while shaking nervously.

Using dragon eyes I could see all the beast that had been attracted by the smell. the only reason I revealed my self was I wanted her to see who had caused her death.

The swarm of the beast had arrived, they went straight past as if I wasn't even there. Jumping onto the prey in front of them, not even giving her a fighting chance.

The next day the town was in an uproar at the fact that one of the villagers had gone missing. A new rumour began to spread again, that the curse of the Talen family was real.

The village people had stopped bullying and calling me names, at least not to my face. They were scared that if they did, the curse of the red dragon Sen would come to get them.

I liked this new rumour.
