Chapter 516 - Infected or not? (2/2)

With that, the two groups spread out amongst the fortress and began their investigations. There were some awkward interactions between the Redwing members and the Dark Guild as they would look over the same place, but either the Redwing leaders or Monk would put them in their place and settle the arguments.

However, even with both groups investigating they were unable to find out much. Lenny continued to stroke his scruffy beard while looking at the whole scene. Whatever had caused this, it seemed to harness either great magical power, or it was done by an item, as it was an incredible feat that just wasn't possible for humans.

It was getting late and it was time for the two groups to rest. Monk and his group had already set up camp inside the main fortress, so that left the Redwings to set up within the fortress walls, but not in the fortress itself.

The Redwings didn't argue about this due to Lenny suggesting it might be better for them to remain outside, and there were still a few things he wanted to investigate.

Most of the Redwings were fast asleep by now, but one person had noticed something that had been slipped into their side pocket. Taking it out, she realised it was a note and was wondering when or how she could have gotten this.

”It's Monk. Meet me behind the fortress, behind the walls.” The note read.

It was short and sweet but Martha honestly didn't know whether to meet him or not. She used to be his love, the two of them cared about each other more than anything, and then that all changed when he had returned one day, declaring war on Avrion.

'Have you really been taken over by the shadow? if

If Kyle and Gary really were, then maybe it's true that you were too.' She thought.

Thinking about it for a little more, she decided to go and see him. She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask as well. Leaving out the front of the fortress walls, she walked around the side until she was eventually at the place the note instructed her to go to. She was cautious, looking to see if anyone was following her, and looking to see if it was a trap.

'If things get really bad, I can just fly out of here and warn the others.' She thought.

Turning the corner she could finally see him standing there all alone.

”Long time no see, Martha.” Monk said with the soft gentle smile she remembered. ”I have a lot to tell you, that i wanted to tell you for a long time now.”
