A lady runs profusely through the woods as though her life depended on it, it kinda did, given that she was been chased down by soldiers with swords and wolves, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her but her legs couldn't take her far enough as she kept tripping, falling and getting up again, what made it even worse was that she was carrying a basket with a child in it, the guards didn't relent as they used the wolves to their full disposal sniffing down their target.

"By order of the one true king, ruler of all English empire, king Crowell, I order you to turn yourself in" one of the guards said in a loud voice which echoed through the empty woods. They guards seemed to have lost their tracks for a while and wanted to use threats to snuff their target out.

Meanwhile, the culprit after running for so long took refugee under a tree which opening looked like that of a tree, but as she attempted to use stealth and stay alive, before her was another problem a very poisonous snake crawled it's way under the tree, curling and weaving slowing toward her and the child in her basket,

She kept on leaning backwards with the basket until there was no more space, she stared straight into the eyes of the serpent with out blinking

"Praecipio tibi... Praecipio tibi..." she said in a slow voice trying to charm the serpent, but it seemed like the reptile became furious with her attempts as the serpent hissed angrily and even attempted to strike her twice but she managed to move out of the serpents line of attack, but the serpent third attempt almost hit the child in the basket, just a whisker away from the baby's leg, this made the baby cry out, and the serpent curls 360 degrees to face his preys once again but this time he bolsters his body sucking more poison to his head as he prepared to land his final fatal blow

"ardeat in cinerem, creatura tenebrarum" she said with an intense look on her face, her eyes turned from baby blue to golden brown as she cast her spell and out of nowhere excruciating hot flames burned through the serpent skin thoroughly until it laid there dead with hot steamed vapor torn through his ablazed skin.

But the out cry of the child already gave them away and the guards were on their tail once again

"Over here !!!" One of the guards shouted. As he led the rest of the guards to right path

She takes a deep breath and takes the basket and takes to her heels again hastily accelerating through the woods as the wolves perambulated the woods in search of her. She turned towards the direction which she heard the wolves howling from.

"dii celi ... deus celi protege servum tuum et seduce inimicos meos" She spoke calmly while stretching her hands towards the direction of the wolves. It wasn't long until the woods was filled with Mountain Dew which made the woods cloudy and made the wolves halt for a while as they could not continue to trace her with the deception she had just pulled off.

The wolves howled and halted, it seemed they were a bit confused and had lost their way, the guards struggled to keep the wolves under their control,

" Bloody witches with stupid tricks up their sleeves" One of the guards complained

But one of the wolves has sniffed his way into seeing a piece of cloth covered in blood lying on top of a twig, the wolf gnashed his gnashed his teeth as he sniffed the piece of cloth continuously and barked even more aggressively before dash forward and pulling the guard which was holding his chains.

"Over here!!!" the guard shouted. The other guards followed his lead

The lady meets a dead end seeing the deep dark sea ahead of her, she pouts as she sees that the guards were closing in on her and she head to make a hard choice. She placed the basket of the river banks while weeping profusely, she rips out her necklace which had an acronym "A" and placed it in the basket then she takes a few steps backward and stretched out her hands

"Antiquum, dii maris, finis meus prope est, sed hunc puerum crudeli morte me similem ne desere, da ei bonam vitam ab omni LICENTIA." She chanted fiercely with her hands stretched out, the wind blew across the woods intensely carrying dead leaves from trees and tree branches, the wind blew in a circular like motion, once again her eyes changed colors from blue to gold but this team it lasted a while longer, the basket began to float on water like a well constructed canon but with super engines as it swiftly went out sight in less than no time

She fell to her knees weakened by the spell she had just casted, still in tears drowned in sorrow and agony just then the guards caught up to her and surrounded her with the wolves

"By order of King Crowell, you are under arrest on accusations of witchcraft and sorcery, you will have to follow us to the kings castle, where you will be under trial, resist and we will be forced to kill you on this spot" One of the senior guards spoke out as his men approached her with caution.

As soon as they got close enough, she was struck down with a wooden like pole aimed straight at the back of their head, an attempt to incapacitate her which worked so fine as she slumped to the ground with her blood drizzling all over her white cloth. She was chained and dragged, she kept falling all over the place, she we almost unconscious and had no idea what was going on around her.

" Your magic is of no use now innit?" One of the guards mocked her before whipping her with the lash he had under his belt she fell to her feet sobbing softly

"Cmon don't be pale now, conjure a dinosaur to come save you" another guard said as they all laughed.
