CHAPTER 5- DARK NIGHTS ARE COMING

Far from the King's landing, in a village known as Hailgard, a boy was surrounded by many people. The boy's name was Dan, and his eyes were blue and his face was covered with mud. He looked so scared. He was an orphan raised by a farmer. People were asking him several questions, but he was not in a condition to speak.

"What happened to you why do you look so scared and where are Bill and Wain?"A pastor asked him.

"W..we were walking in the forest when we heard the sound of an animal roaring loudly.We started going in the direction from which the voice came, to find out whose voice was it.Bill was leading the way.There were many dense trees in front and there was a slight smell.The more we went on, the stench was getting worse. We came a little further and saw that there was an empty space among the dense trees where the carcasses of many deer were lying and all those deer heads were missing.

While we were watching all of this, a deer with a severely injured eye was sobbing on the ground among the corpses of those deer.There was a commotion in the far trees as we were making our approach towards him. We crouched down behind a tree and began to look at the place where there was movement. We noticed a shadow there that resembled a large animal. Just then, a large beast that resembled a large, black wolf approached those corpses with blood flowing from its teeth. Bill wished to remain, but I wanted to leave. That wolf was considerably larger than typical wolves. He was observing the dead bodies.Then he turned his neck to the deer that was injured.He slowly went to the deer.Me and Wain closed our eyes. But Bill said softly to me and Wain, "Look what's going on there"

We courageously opened our eyes and saw that the wolf was now standing like a human on its two legs."Oh my God, what the hell is this!"Wain said.

"Keep quiet"BilI said.

Now he looked like a werewolf. He looked four times bigger than a normal human. He put the deer on his shoulder and started leaving. I wanted to run away from there as soon as possible but Bill wanted to chase the monster.We tried to stop him but he didn't listen and started going after him, we had to go after him. Hearing the sound of that monster's feets, I was getting breathless.After a short distance, the sound of his feet stopped. Some distance away there was a cave outside which the skeletons of many animals were lying.

Wain's feet were trembling.

"We should go inside and see"Bill said.

"But why?" I said.

"We must run away from this place as soon as possible"Wain said.

"You idiot, we should find out what is happening here and think when we will reveal the secret here and tell the villagers about it, then we will be considered a hero and will be sent to become a knight"Bill said.

"But... "I said.

"Keep quite and follow me" Bill said. We went in,the light in the cave was very low and there was a very foul smell.Coming a little further, we felt something wet under our feet.We looked down but could not see anything because of the darkness. Bill started groping with his hands down.

"Is this blood! " Wain said in a scared voice.

"No you idiot,its water but smelly, let's move on" Bill said in a irritating voice. The cave was getting smaller as we went on.

"There's a little light ahead"Bill said.

We slowly approached the light, and we saw that there was a huge rock on which something was written in a latin language.The top of the rock was like a table, and a human corpse was placed on it, but his head was missing. A blue thread was tied to the hand of that corpse.

"Ohh my god, Polan! " Wain said. (Polan was a woodcutter who often came to the forest to collect wood, but he was missing for two days)Then certainly we heard a sound of someone's growl.

"Hide, now"Bill said.We all hid behind a big stone.The demon was carrying that deer on his shoulder, that deer's eyes were cold, it was just a corpse.

"God please save me" Wain was crying. The demon placed the deer's body next to the body of Polan and then he uttered some strange words, as far as I remember he said '𝘈𝘭 𝘥𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘴'His voice was so scary. Wain was slowly going backwards.

"Wain! what are you doing" I said in a low voice.

That's when Wain's foot landed on a stone, he let out a scream that was loud enough to alert the creature to our presence. We took off running in the direction of the cave's exit.That beast was also after us.Very quickly, in fact.Wain's injury prevented him from running quickly. The beast pounced on Wain,he severed Wain head from his body. Me and Bill were just running to survive.We exited the cave, but Bill's leg became entangled in an animal's body. I remarked, "Bill try to get your feet off, he is coming"

"Dan go"Bill said.

" But... "

"Go run away" He screamed. I looked at the cave, the monster was coming towards us with Wain's head in his hand.

"Go and sorry" Bill said.I began to sob as I was running.

I went behind the trees and looked back, Bill's body was lying on the ground but his head was missing,that monster was nowhere to be seen.

"Noooo!" A woman screamed, she was Bill's mother."Control yourself, Villa"An old lady said.

"Holy jail is broken, it's a disaster"The poster said. Everyone looked scared now.

"We have to inform the king before it's too late"Trilor said who was the head of the village,"and Dan you will go to the King's Landing and warn them that Dark nights are coming"He continued.

"But why Dan?"A stunning girl spoke while staring in Dan's direction.

"Because he is the only one who has seen everything" Trilor said.

"Ok I will leave for the King's Landing tonight" Dan said and leaves from there, that girl also followed him.He was just entering his house when"You won't go"That girl said.

"I must go or else everyone will be in great danger"He said.

"But what about me"She said.

"Hyla please try to understand...that if we do not hurry, we will not be able to stop the dark nights"

"Yes but.. "

"When father comes back, explain everything to him that what happened here"

"But you... "

"Don't worry about me, I will take care of myself, you just take care of yourself and father, I will return soon"

Hyla kissed him.

"Promise me that you will come back" She said softly.

"Yes and then we'll get married,okay" He said.

She laughed.

"I must go now"

He came out of the house with a big bag hanging on his shoulder and started opening his horse from the stables.

"Bye"He said while sitting on the horse.

"Bye"Hyla said.
