Night 2
Dark Forces
I was so scared yesterday! Poor Amko... I've never seen death with my own eyes before, it's so frightening!
Trying to forget the events of last night, I wandered in the forest. People are afraid to go there late at night for some reason, but that's all pagan superstition, and they are sinful, outrageous! Besides, the forest is so beautiful in the evenings; it’s hard to describe. Although, perhaps I should have stayed home this time: I saw something no one would believe. It might be visions sent by an enemy to torment people. I won't trust what I wrote on paper, or I will read it later and feel ashamed that I was so superstitious. But I should tell the prince anyway, just in case...The sun over Mythogard was setting, and the residents, who had been busy with their important daily affairs all day, finally began to enjoy their free time without worrying about how early they would have to get up tomorrow.
Nebo fell asleep in the tavern but woke up from someone staring intently at him. Opening his eyes, he saw the owner. "What do you want?" - "TO SLEEP! GO AWAY!"
Zybr walked sadly through the city streets. Sometimes he asked someone: "Do you happen to have half a kilo of overseas caviar?" But the answer was quite predictable...
WisTrit came home late, grinning foolishly. When his wife asked him what happened, he only said: "Oh, damn, it's already three o'clock, I completely forgot!" – and ran away from her into the room.
Another person distinguished himself with a stupid smile by falling face down right in the middle of the street.
Morning, passing by, simply shook his head reproachfully.
The priest was wrong to consider himself superstitious: when the town boys went to play in the forest in the morning, they also witnessed something strange. On the edge of the forest lay
Goomer, motionless. When the townsfolk removed the fox fur from his neck, they saw red spots: apparently, he had been strangled. Nearby lay
Arandor: he was also motionless but alive and well, except that his black pupils looked somewhat strange... When the priest was questioned in more detail about what he saw, things became clearer. According to him,
Goomer was killed by a thin man who appeared out of nowhere and suddenly. After doing his dark deed, he howled and ran away, leaving behind a note: "Isabella, I love you! Will you really leave me for that scoundrel Fernando?"
Dgak was found dead right in the inn. Cabbage was scattered all over the room, and a rather expensive hat with a feather was found on the hook at the entrance. Inside it was a short piece of paper: "Greetings from Zehir!"
And this is not the last death:
ToX was killed right in his house; the door was broken down, and the hostess was pierced with a spear. It should be noted that someone else definitely lived in the house, but there was no one there, and attempts to find the owners, other than
ToX, were unsuccessful. The inscription "1595" on the wall was also alarming.
According to the latest news, the inquisitor has become surprisingly authoritative among Catholics.
