The three witches wandered through the burning aftermath left behind by the careighnian army, grey smoke hung about the still flaming, town hall the high wind rained ash down upon their heads and the smell of burning flesh overwhelmed the senses, a small brook that run through the middle of the village ran read with blood and horse tracks lead to the muddy hill on which the army had encamped . They searched desperately for any sign of their wandering man. “Its no good” said the portly sister. “look at all these tracks. We'll never find him ”. “Search the bodies” ordered the elder of the sisters. If he is not here then we know he is in krill its the only town in fifty miles of here”
Esther arrived at the gates of Tzarauel still cradling the infant. The baby began to cry “shhh little joseph” she said in a soft and loving voice that she had mimicked from seeing Isabelle holding him. “we have reached are new home” she said holding back tears. “these people are going to look after us now so we must be very brave and do as were told” The guard stepped off the front of the carriage and knocked at the gates, The man opened a small window in the gate and shouted”who go their”. “It is lieutenant Fendig. I have orders to deliver these children to the duchess”. The guard looked at him oddly. But raised the gate regardless. As the carriage began to move once more Esther was fascinated by the sights and sounds she beheld, she had never seen a city before to each side of the carriage where bustling market stalls, giving of the sent of exotic herbs and spices,The bright co lours of finely woven fabrics stole her gaze as they were haggled over by proud looking women in extravagant dresses. The market place was a buzz with chit chat and excitement as the carriage grew closer to the keep that towered over the busy streets, And outside the keep surrounded by armed guards stood a tall and very hansom women with a kind face and long black hair cascading down her bosom. She smiled as the carriage arrived. “This must be her” whispered Esther to baby Joseph. She grabbed the letter from the satchel her mother had given her. The crowds of people seemed to gather round the carriage and start to follow it inquisitively. The carriage stopped and the lieutenant opened the door and helped little Esther out of the carriage. Esther gulped as she strode carefully towards the duchess. “So this is are young hero ” she said softly. “I have heard much about you, both of you”. Esther looked puzzled but handed her the letter non the less. “No need” said the duchess. The duke sent a messenger ahead of you. I am so pleased to meet you children , you are very welcome here in \Tzarauel. Just then a small child ran out of the keep “Are they here. are they here” said the girl “yes Illouise” said the duchess. The child looked very like Esther in fact the child’s resemblance so mimicked that of Esther that in other circumstances you would have probably perceived them as twins. The duchess looked at the crowd surrounding them and said “come child let us not overwhelm you, there is much to talk about, but first things first we must eat. I have had my servants to lay a feast for you, you must be famished. I will show you to your new rooms and on the end of the beds there are fresh clothes and shoes. The governess has run a bath for you and when you are ready we will eat . Pass young Joseph to the wet nurse she will see to him tonight and you may see him again in the morning”. Esther smiled for the first time in three days at the thought of food and clean clothes.
Esther was lead into the keep through vast rooms, up winding stair cases,and along long torch lit corridors, finally they reached a large wooden door the doors where flung back to reveal an enormous room filled with light, a whole manor of toys and books covered the floor and a radiant, yet more humbly dressed women with glowing cheeks and a friendly smile curtseyed as the duchess entered. To the left of the room were two doors, and to the right another two doors. The duchess lead Esther through the second door to the right.”This is your room now” said the duchess. Esther scanned the room in amazement the bed was made of hand carved oak with a beautiful oak wardrobe across from it with one door open revealing a vast array of fine garments that were just her size , to the left was a rocking horse, and on the right a large window with two beautifully carved shutters framed by heavy green velvet curtains embroiled with the family crest and tied back with gold tassels and their on the bed as promised was a beautiful blood red dress with a satin bows affixed to the neckline and sleeves to the side of it was a thick red hair ribbon and laid on the floor beneath it was a pair of scarlet red slippers . “The room we have just passed through is the governesses room their you will play, learn and sometimes eat. the two rooms on the left belong to Illouise and Joseph, the first one is Illouise's room and the second will be Joseph's. Have some time to settle and when you are ready to eat have the governess bring you down to the banqueting hall”. “Thank you” said Esther. Overwhelmed by the duchess's kindness. The duchess left the room and all was quiet. “Is the duchess your mother” asked Esther to Illouise. Illouise laughed “No she said I am the dukes youngest sister, you will meet my oldest sister later. Although I warn u she's very mean to me and probably to you too”. “Why”? said Esther. “She thinks my farther replaced hers” said Illouise. Esther looked puzzled, “her farther passed away three years before our mother was betrothed to mine”. Said Illouise sensing Esther’s confusion. “come get ready” said Illouise. “Im hungry. You can sit next to me and tell me about your brave adventures. Where their dragons? I 'm going to be a dragon slayer one day” she said, waving round a wooden sword. “Just like king bolvodose” she continued. Esther laughed and picked up a toy bow. “Then I shall be your loyal sidekick and knight she said firing miniature arrows in the general direction of Joseph’s bedroom .Which they both proclaim to be the dreaded layer of the hideous beast. “SHHH'” said the wet nurse emerging from Joseph's room “You'll wake the young master. Come now your bath will be getting cold”.
“Gither” croaked Asrael the younger of the three sisters. Why are we wasting our time here he's obviously not here. Why are we not in krill every minute we waste here he gets further away from us”. “Then he is alive” said the middle sister Octavia. “Come sisters we must make haste to Krill the longer we dither here the less chance we have of finding him. Come” The three sisters made their way toward the treacherous mountain path, leading to the lush green valleys to the west, stumbling over the remains of ancient landslides and fragmented rock faces they navigated boulders and marooned trees who's long arms unfurled themselves across the wavering path and on scaling such a boulder. Gither's gaze was stolen by something strange at the side of the path a rat hole. The rat hole was covered with a green rock . Their was something odd about this rock, almost as though it had been rammed into the hole by some passerby, something seemed to call out to her from behind it and her curiosity took hold of her. She started to reach out to it. “Gither stop dawdling” shouted Asrael becoming irritated. “I am not dawdling” shouted Gither and with that pulled herself together and continued somewhat more speedily on her way.
Soon they were in the western valleys and on the road to Krill. The road was a vast corridor through the towering mountain ranges on both sides of them. Little light broke through the clouds that day and a great blackness had descended upon them. The heavens opened and a torrential down pour fell upon their heads, thunder echoing through the darkened corridor like the booming voice of some unheavenly demon . “A cave” shouted Octavia! The three sisters ran into the cave with their shawls over their heads they entered the cave ducking under a large over hang before following a narrow passage through to a large chamber filled with stalagmite and from behind these stalagmite came a warm glow as though from a small fire “Shhhh” whispered Octavia it could be goblins”. “Nonsense” said Gither. “Goblins hate the light”. “Then trolls” said Octavia. “somewhat small space for a troll don’t you think Octavia?” Said Gither sarcastically. “Then who could it be” said Octavia still whispering. Gither began to sniff and a grin widened across her face. Asrael copied. “Dragons blood” she proclaimed excitedly. “I think it is he ” Gither exclaimed.
“Lets jump him said Octavia. “Lets trick him” said Asrael. “lets sneak in and take it” said gither. Suddenly a voice boomed from within the cave .“You seek me witches” said the voice. Gither Gulped. “Errrrrrrrm”. “ You have followed me now for many moons” said the voice. “But how” said gither before being interrupted once again by the voice. “hahahah the trees do whisper” said the voice. “The witches looked at one another . “You seek an amulet. Said the voice. “Yes yes yes” said the witches forgetting their original mission “you know where we may find it”. “I do” said the shahman . “But for every gift bestowed a price there must be” he said in a sinister tone . “I will tell you of this amulets where about. If you but do me a small favor in return. My love is entrapped” said the shah-man . “And you want us to free her” said Octavia. “NO not quite, two great wrongs have been done and now but two can right these wrongs. You are eternal creatures are you not” said the shah-man . “we are “ replied the witches. “then I will give you dragon blood enough that you comfortable for 15 years .Then on the 1st night of the first crescent moon on the 15 year you will ride to Tzarauel. In Tzarauel you will seek the adopted children of the Duke. You will give the boy word of his mother’s survival. You will lead them to the pass that leads to Carthagaras but go no further”. Said the shah-man . “What’s at Carthagaras” enquired Octavia wondering if this was something she might want in on herself. “My love is their” said the shah-man. The witches looked disappointed.”When do we hear of the amulet” said Asrael growing impatient. “Seek me on completion of your task” said the shah-man. “I will be in this very cave.”
