2020-09-26 00:50:27Rex decided he would make for home after the events that unfolded at the river with Dean.
He was going to leave the same track he came in because it was the quickest route, but after the altercation with Dean he changed his mind.
An extra 20mins to go around won't kill me, he thought as he rode up the hill, away from the other road in.The only problem was the other track he knew that would lead him back towards home was a sketchy goat trail that went over the eastern hills behind his town through the forest.
Stopping just outside of the edge of the forest, Rex had an odd feeling like someone was watching. Looking around for any sign of people, he took a deep breath and continued his journey towards home.
Riding his bike through the trees he heard a sudden noise from behind him.
WHOOSH!!
Slamming on his brakes he snapped his head around to try and see what had created the gust of wind on his back and the noise that startled him. "I must be going crazy" he said to himself out aloud, not being able to see or hear anything.
Once he started moving again he felt a little better being able to see the outter edge of the forest and the main road which lead back home.
Not long to go now he thought to himself.
Once again the tingle he felt before entering the forest hit him again and suddenly he saw something shiny heading straight for his face!!
His eyes widened seeing it coming, and for some reason the trees passing seemed to start slowing down. What is going on?? Looking back up it seemed everything around him had slowed down but he had a small amount.
Using the extra time to act, he quickly turned his bike to the side just enough to dodge the object that was coming at him.
Holy s**t! That's a dagger!! He exclaimed as he passed it flying through the air at him.
Once Rex had cleared the forest by a distance he looked back realising how close he had come to death!
What a headache that would have been he chuckled, clearly still in shock.
Oh my god! Was the next thing that left his lips.
Headache, wow what an intense headache came about without warning, even made him stop his bike in his tracks. It felt like someone was hammering on his skull.
As his blurred vision from his headache passed he wiped his sweaty face, realising it had even made his nose bleed!!
"This has never happened before" Rex exclaimed, feeling very confused. Time to get home was the next thought he had, he quickly wiped the blood from his nose with the sleeve from his shirt and peddled as fast as he could home, just hoping nothing odd would happen to him again.
Skidding his bike to a halt at the gate to his house, he threw the bike into the front yard, jumped the fence and bolted into the front door.
"I thought I heard you come in, you're back early" Iris exclaimed as she walked to the door. With only a brief glance at Rex she knew something had happened.
"What's going on? Why is there dried blood on your face and your shirt? What happened?" She said, really starting to worry.
"You'll never believe what happened at the river and on the way back!!" Rex said, sitting down putting his hands on his head.
"Well spit it out boy!!" Iris snapped.
Taking in a few breaths to calm himself, he told Iris about what happened with Dean, then the incredible story of the dagger in the forest, explaining the blood came after a terrible headache he got shortly after exiting the woods.
"You've been playing too many video games, haven't you? I told you it would rot your brain, also my boy, daggers don't fly" Iris said patting his shoulder.

“How did you….” Nessa trailed off. Rex and Nessa knew what had happened to Pilk and were astonished she was here and in good shape.“Survive after you snapped my neck?” Pilk finished Nessa’s sentence with an evil grin, “Trade secret, may even tell you before I repay the favour back to you.”“Once more, leave us the boy and that girl and you two can leave” said one of the men, talking to Lizz and Charr.“You want him, must go past me” said Charr tapping his axe on his shoulder with a grin.Lizz added in shortly after, “And me too.”Rex looked at his friends and gave them a smile and respectful head nod at their statements, he couldn’t be happier that his friends were willing to fight with him until the end.“W

“Who are you and why would you want to help us?” Lizz asked eyeing her suspiciously.“My name is Nessa. I’ve been asking myself the same question” Nessa said with a smirk. That comment confused Lizz and Charr a little.“Do you know Rex?” Lizz asked.“Yes I do” Nessa replied nodding. When she said that she noticed Lizz frown a little. Was this girl his lover? She thought to herself, she reacted to her intrusion like Nessa would defending him if he was hers, another question that needed answering. She then realised that she was regarding Rex as hers, silly thoughts about him again she thought. “What or who has him unable to fight his way out? I know he is more than capable of taking on those 3 plus us and still probably win.”“How you know how Rex fight?” Charr asked stepping cl

“What the bloody hell does that mean?” Nessa asked. It was way too early in the morning for her riddles.“Typical good-mannered conversation” Al’ik said with a smirk, “I believe it means you are to help someone change, how would I know? Its your fate, not mine. I’m a healer, not a fortune teller.”“Then how did you see my fate?” Nessa asked.“I’m not sure, that’s why I debated as to tell you or not. It seemed quite serious to me, so I decided I would pass it on. It is now for you to decode what it is supposed to mean.” Al’ik replied, “Now eat this and you are good enough to be on your way.”Nessa nodded, sat down and took the food she was given. She hated riddles and was never good at them so she had no idea what, “show an outwards sign of an inwa

“Uurgh” was the only sound Rex could muster as he forced his eyes open. He had an intense headache from being hit on the head and was quite sure that wet feeling behind his head was blood. He could hear creaking noises before his eyes started to focus again, I am moving, he could feel the jolts. Blinking a few times to help clear his vision he sat his head up, he felt his hands and feet were bound tightly so he could not get up by himself. He could see 2 people to his front sitting facing forward and looking to his sides he saw wooden upright boards, he must have been in the back of a wagon.“Morning sunshine” came a voice from his feet area. Turning his head a little too quickly Rex felt his vision blur a little once more, don’t do that again he said to himself. Sitting at his feet was the woman from the vegetable stall. She was watching him with an evil smile on his face. She hopped up grabbed Rex’s shoulders and propped him up

Rex jumped up the moment the memories matched about who the person was. He quickly half dried himself, threw on some of the clothes that were put out for him and went in the direction he saw the woman walking. Not having a clear heading, he wandered aimlessly for a while looking into the faces of the maids he saw. Rounding a corner, he ran into Stug who was giving out orders to a man wearing a cloak, getting the man moving he looked back at Rex, eyed him up and down and saw him still half wet and asked hurriedly, “Is everything ok prince?”“Yes, one of the people you’re looking for is here! I saw her walk past my room” Rex said.“Really! They have the nerve to try and sneak back in, I will sort th

Once the man had burst out of the keep he came to a halt in front of the 3 companions, still ranting about dealing out the death penalty for the murder of his brother.“Who the f**k are you 3?” he yelled in their faces. They could see the vein popping from his neck, Lizz thought they were going to die.“These are the 3 accused of Dreg’s murder” replied a guard who was near them. This made the red-faced man leer at them, if looks could kill they would have all died by now.“I hereby sentence you 3 to death!!” he screamed pointing at them.
