Xandra's Game (10)




(SN)    Supernatural Themes





The Triad


Slowly, I put the big biscuit back into my satchel.

Then suddenly, a strong wave of uncomfortable energy passed through me.
"Why do I feel like my throat has just been cut ?" I thought.
Reeling inside from the impact,
I was aware of the deep hole behind me.
Standing strong, I stood as still as I could as the ledge was narrow.
I did not want to fall backwards.
"Been there, done that !!" I exclaimed, silently to myself.

Running away from this situation, I realised,
was not the answer.

Slowly taking out my written work, I  pondered,
"The answer lies in this maths problem."
When, all of a sudden,
the orc appeared behind Corinne, the Witch, and her two friends !!

Surprised by the suddeness, but not surprised that he was there,
I turned to my left to look at the man in leather.
When, I noticed that he was wearing a medallion around his neck.
At that moment,
a rumble emanated through the surrounding rock,
passing a deep vibration through the area and myself included.
It was then that I realised,
that the hole was in fact the cone of an extinct volcano,
and that was why there was iron oxide rock in and around it.
Maybe it wasn't so extinct !!

The man in leather and I exchanged looks,
and a deep unspoken communication.

Turning back to face the Stargate,
I saw that another figure had appeared, behind the orc.
"Is that......?" I thought, focusing my vision.
Immediately, the woman turned her back on me, under my gaze.
A moment later, she decided to turn back again
I looked again.
"Yes...... it is !!" I decided.
It was a woman who had been staying at Herdwick Manor,
whom I had made a dress for.
She looked every bit, the Witch.
Old, ugly, short,
and dressed all in black,
with a wide brimmed hat, waisted short coat, and pants like a man !!
