Just like when I met the Bandits, I wasn't scared of the men standing right in front of me and were combat-ready. My old self would have been scared to death of what I was about facing but thank goodness for the new-me. If not for Deborah, I could have been subjected to shame whenever I met these people, I don't even know if I will still be alive by now. The new power in me was my confidence whenever I meet these bad men, it was the only thing that kept me going stronger and stronger in front of my opposition."Why did you steal my horse?" The huge man who appears to be their leader at the same time asked me with a harsh voice. He was no longer smiling. He has gotten serious with me. Despite the serious looks on his face, I refused to take him seriously anyway."Which horse are you talking about? You still confusing me, you know." I smiled confidently.At that point, the huge man became angry with me. He was not just frustrated, he was mad and is prone to harm me severely. He pointed

What followed next was a moment of silence between me and the men. None of them said a word including their leader. He only stared at me and so were his men."Who are you?" The huge man asked at last."I am Louis, I'm a Witch and you already knew what I did for you when I set you free from the spell you have held in for a long time.""We don't mean to disrespect but, we don't want to have any problems with you. This career path that we have chosen is the only thing we can do to earn a living, why bother to stop it now? It doesn't make sense if our source of livelihood is being deprived of us.""This is not the only thing you could do to survive. I believe there are many decent jobs out there that you can engage yourselves in and earn handsomely, what do you think about that, fellas?" I turned around swiftly, glancing at them at the same time. My words might have struck their hearts, the men began forming a circle around me. Maybe, they wanted to hear more about my strategy for finding

I believe Gama and his men felt guilty. I could tell that from the expression on their faces. Indeed, no one is perfect at predicting things but, I was sure that the men standing right in front of me have repented."Now, listen to me all of you," I sensed that all of their attention was on me at that moment. "You shall redeem all of your evil deeds by doing the right thing. And what's the right thing you could do? I know that some of you will ask that question. That's right! Here is the thing, I want all of you to fight on my side when I take on Magaritha. I want you all to engage her army and let's put an end to her terror. This is the only way you can redeem yourselves!" Everywhere seemed to be silent as I was speaking, it was a good sign that they were paying close attention to all I was saying. However, I lacked the power to determine if all of them will buy into my idea, including their leader. Whatever they are going to say in the next few minutes will determine the level of the

We arrived at the camp about an hour later, which makes it an hour ride on our horses. There was nothing impressive at first about the camp until I climbed down from my horse and began touring the vicinity. The camp was located deep in the forest, about ten miles away from Muldoch. There was no way anyone could have suspected that a camp hosting criminals was built there. It was a genius idea on the part of Gama and his men to build their camp in such an isolated area. Yes, I guess he should be commended for that. The little houses were made of tents and in each of the tent houses, were burning candles. I wondered who was looking after the camp while the men goes out to rob people. Since Gama was in my company as I tour the tent house one after the other, I had to ask him who is always in charge of the camp whenever they are out for an operation. He did not hesitate to answer me."We have some women who had committed one crime or the other for that, they were ostracized from their to

Gama saw that our drama was deeper than what he thought so, he remained silent and listened. Steve never stopped feeling excited and neither was I. Because we had plenty of things to discuss, he suggested that we go inside his tent. At that moment, Gama decided on his accord that it was time to leave."Alright guys, I will leave the two of you to finish what you have started." Gama turned to face Steve. "You owe me a lot of explanation. I still didn't get what exactly is going on here but, I do hope to hear from your later." He walked away leaving Steve and me standing all alone.We walked into the tent where he came out of, the first time I and Gama came looking for him. I guess that was his tent or at least, that was where he spends the night. We sat on the mat which he spread all over the floor of the tent and began talking. "What happened? Where were you taken to when they captured you?" My curiosity about Steve was gradually coming to play. I needed to know what happened back
