Arcunus And The Three Witches
#WritcoStoryPrompt2
A wet leaf fell on her shoulder making her jump in fear. Startled she shifted from her hiding place behind the thick cherry bush of the forbidden forest.
the full moonlight casted with a luminous gaze over the entire forrest.
In the near distance, multiple voices echoed out.
-"find the girl, we know she must be here somewhere"! yelled a raspy man's voice not to far from where she was hiding.
Torches scattered about, lighting up the dark forrest, nearby villagers holding pitchforks and assorted weapons, a few queens guards on horses and hound dogs barking out loudly slowly gaining on her trail.
Those who had come to claim the queens bounty reward on the girls head in exchange for 100 gold piece's.
In panic the swift, young witch darted from the bush, scratching and scrappy her arms through the thicket
She began running deeper & further into the erry forrest, scared for her life she bolted like a lightening strike through the thick trees.
Hunted like a rabid animal, with a quick panic, no time to waste she fled deeper into the dark and mysterious abyss...
It had been quite sometime since anyone came this far into the spooky woods, for they were said to be haunted by ghosts, ghouls, trolls and evil wizards by the nearby towns people.
Without looking back and no hesitation she lunged herself from a small rock cliff landing onto a bed of smaller bushes below the downward hill.
almost tumbling on the sharp jagged rocks below the slick and grassy hill, nagging on a sharp rock worh her magic robe, it partly ripped down the middle, slightly cutting the tired witches stomach.
A warm red sensation soaked down her stomach onto her robe.
The minor injury to her abdomen wound need to eventually be properly treated just in case of infections Lilit thought to herself.
Ducking low behind some large lime stones on the farside of the steep hill, she noticed the torches behind her slowly vanishing one by one from her visible sight.
Even the queens mighty guard dare not to trespass this far into the clutches of the forest, especially on horses with such a steep drop off the steep & slippery hill.
One could easily get tangled up in vines and trip by to their death and this seemed as an advantage for her.
As she noticed horses and villagers turning around, the coast seemed clear for the scared witch but what was uncertain was the nature of her quarrels ahead and what would behold her upcoming events.
Stranded & lost in the dark woods, only the creatures of the night remained, croaking, howling, screeching into the cloudy, moonlit night.
She layed there, exhausted and scared hoping to get a good night's rest and begin her long journey at sunrise.
After all, hanging witches was a common thing in the kingdom of Aaragoth under Queen Iba new rule, no longer a home for her she had no plans to return.
Alone was her path and alone she remained.
Scared of her abilities, they shunned her and deemed her a monster, so fled she did, deep into the dark, mysterious forrest, in escape for her life....
