I approached the castle again, again in my, now familiar, belly crawl. I have actually gotten Quite good at it, but I'm afraid I still feel like a slug. The castle had finally stopped, much to my relief, Therese only so much crawling you can do in three hours...But more to the point, I got up and ran towards the castle, dodging flower bushes and rose vines whose thorns, I must say, look murderous. I crouched under one such bush, the castle, it seemed had stopped for the night. I allowed myself to doze slightly, I had the time...
I woke with a start as the very first ray of dawn broke upon my face, I stared around for a moment, wondering where the heck I was...Then I remembered where I was. The castle was still where it was supposed to be, but Sophie had not yet exited. That meant, more waiting! Oh Joy! The mere thought of it made my legs cramp. Please let Sophie be an early riser... Several hours later, Sophie finally left the castle, much to my relief. I waited until she was a good distance away from the castle, then I attacked.
My knife was at her neck in an instant, "Wha...", She gasped.
"Sorry, Lady Sophie, but I must use this here knife...You really should be thankful I keep it so sharp, a nice clean cut with minimal suffering." I was about to make the deathly stroke when the pendant at her neck began to shine with an unearthly blue light, at the same time I heard a heavy beating throb fill the air. I turned to face the gigantic bird that had landed three feet away from me, no, not a bird anymore, an extremely pissed-off Howl. It had finally happened...My rein was over. I faced my fate with my head high as the fatal bolt of power hit my body.
And all was black...
