The Forgotten - Chapter 39
Their world suddenly exploded as a knocking sounded on the door.
“Sigwulf? Are you in there? Astrid? Open up.”
“Damn Kemp,” Sigwulf muttered.
Kemp knocked again. “Hurry up. The others are grabbing one last drink downstairs. The girls want up, now. I asked Lakon to stall them when I found you not in our room.”
Sigwulf cursed as he climbed off the panting girl and stood next to the bed, quickly pulling his hose back up over his hips. He handed Astrid her night shirt and tied his hose.Related chapters

The next morning they all had breakfast together again. Annabelle and Mary spent most of their time telling Kemp and Lakon to be careful, and to please hurry back soon. Sharlett talked with Hrodgar, asking him questions about Ulfwyn and the Skytoucher mountains that were the highest in the known world. Serra, however, was happily watching the byplay between Astrid and Sigwulf. They seemed to be ignoring each other. Serra nudged Astrid’s leg under the table. Astrid looked at her. Serra’s reply was to roll her eyes then nod her head at Sigwulf and back at Astrid, then to Sigwulf again, f

“But there was one woman. Once. I thought that at the time maybe I could have a family of my own. A wife, children, the lot. It was about ten years ago when I was 17 and I fell in love with an older woman at the stronghold. I was completely infatuated with her. She filled my every waking thought and every sleeping dream I had was filled with memories of her hot breath against my skin when we were together. Nothing else mattered. Then after about two years of that, one glorious evening at sunset, I went down on one knee and presented her with a ring, then I asked her to be my wife.

It was still early morning when they reached the outskirts of Favorn Forest that appeared dark and foreboding. The thick canopy allowed for little light to penetrate the gloom of the ancient forest. Stories spoke of the tree canopy so old and thick that light shining through turned the visibility into a perpetual dusk. It was said that in the deepest parts of the primordial forest light was never seen, and the forest floor appeared to be forever shrouded by night. Strange insects and animals that were either sightless or cast an eerie glow were said to stalk within that place of forever night.Astrid watched a multicoloured butterfly flitter in and out of shards of light, dancing in the sun until it passed too close to a tree and the

Zela continued her quick chatter. “We had one come through here about 17 years ago, I think. Or maybe longer as you Human’s measure time. He gave something to mother...”“A necklace?”“Yes, that’s it. How did you know?” “It’s my necklace. Well, half of it.”The Dryad stopped in her tracks. “Wait. Galadon knights? Necklace? Mother expecting you?” She s

Lanex, the High Priest of the blood glorifying God Kalash, with the gold trim of his scarlet robes glittering in the candlelight, approached the sacrificial alter. His heart was as dark as his ebony eyes and his soul was a thing of malevolence that glorified in blood and sacrifice.“It is time. Bring forth a Lamorie,” he called in a sonorous voice.A Priestess scuttled away and retuned a few moments later with a beautiful young girl child with long dark hair and perfect features. The child wore the thin sacrificial dress and had wide, luminously trusting brown eyes that sparkled with anticipation and devotion. Lanex pointed to the blood stained alter.Breathing heavily with excitement and smiling with delight, sh

Sunne gasped.“There’s more. A dark haired man then stands next to her and, and.” He swallowed. “He’s wearing the armour of a Galadon Knight. Then...” He trailed off.“Then what, my love?”“Then, she points and speaks, I can’t hear her words but he lifts up a sword and sudden their are thousands of knights behind him, and all from the four orders. Then they kill us and Kalash. I wake up screaming and I swear I can feel their blades as they murder us.” Lanex stoked the raven hair of the woman before him who rested her head in his lap.“It’s ju

Astrid seemed to hear a strange ringing in her ears as they entered the cave and tried to shake it away but it persisted. Tying her long hair back into a ponytail, keeping it away from her face she tried to ignore the ringing then saw Sigwulf staring at her chest where he had seen a faint glow being emitted from behind Astrid’s blouse.“Since when did you glow in the dark?”Astrid, finished with her hair and looked down. She reached into her blouse and pulled out her amethyst pendant. Still hanging off the gold chain around her neck, the semiprecious gem was glowing.“It’s not much,” Astrid replied, “but it’s just enough light to see by.”“Why is it doing that?”“I have no idea. Somethin

Astrid slapped Sigwulf's hand away as he reached for her. To his horror she stood on the flagstone and calmly stepped onto another one. She waited for a moment, then stepped onto another, moving slowly along the tunnel in front of the arrow holes. She turned back to face him with a smile on her face. The pendant was glowing brightly.“It glows brighter and pulls me towards the flagstones that are safe. Follow me.”Sigwulf had no choice. He stepped onto the first flagstone. Nothing happened and no arrows riddled him with holes. They cautiously made their way across, Sigwulf s
