MATHEMATICIAN. (The Quest).

Horror Continues....

The taxi rolled on the asphalt roads; I rested on the couch, picturing the events which happened during the event till my visit to the temple. I closed my eyes for a moment, and after a while, I woke up. I peered through the window, as the cool zephyr blowing on my face, refreshing me, there was something bizarre about the road, it seemed that we are moving in a circle, at first, I thought to be imagining creepy things, then I looked at the large oak tree near the road. I thought to make it as a landmark, after a while we were back to the oak tree. I was groped with horror, as I stared at the large oak tree, however, I gathered my composure, and thought rationally again. I murmured, "There must be similar trees on the road." I looked at the other trees beside the oak tree, to set as a landmark, but we again landed on the same place. There is something bizarre here, I tapped on the shoulder of the taxi-driver, I uttered, "Please stop the cab here." He obeyed me, and stopped at the side of the road. I got down from the taxi to check for the place, and I looked at the large oak tree, and the other trees besides it.

I was running my fingers on the rough bark of the oak tree, and I was flabbergasted, as this is the same place where the taxi was coming back, I was sure that, we are heading in a wrong direction, or perhaps it is a foul play. The site appealed to my emotion, the place tend to surging the emotions in me, an unknown fear which was different, and it seized my heart in a vague terror, which was strange to me, they seem to be in array, and surging in numbers, moving softly, under the dark sky. My thoughts were darken by the unknown energy which engulfed me; also I felt a cold gust of winds blowing through the trees making it alive, and it made me feel atrophied. I could hear the sound of gong vibrating in the air, it had a low pitch sound, and later it was followed by the howling of dogs. I was terrified, as there something bizarre in the air.

I turned to taxi, but to my surprise the taxi and its driver were vamoosed. I run towards the road, and I looked around but the road was secluded with no human presence. I shouted in vain for the taxi-driver, but it was futile. I could hear the howling of the dogs again, followed by the chattering of night creatures, which made the secluded road frightening, as I looked at the watch, it was around 12.30. This was a squeaky bum time for me. I was startled, and I looked around but there was no signs of anyone on the deserted road, and then, the street lights began to flicker, after a while, two dark figures approached me. The street light shone on the figures, my eyes squinted, and to my surprise, one of the figures was the man who met me at the hall, and other was the witch, whom I encountered before.

The man was having pointed ears, shape canine teeth, reddish lips, and grumpy face. The howling of the dogs increased, rupturing the silence of the night, they stopped, and snarled at me, and gave me an eerie smile, displaying their sharp teeth, they charged towards me to kill; however, I tucked my hands inside the jacket, fetching the Holy Tridents, I held on my head, kissing it, and hurled two Tridents at them. Their face turned dismal, seeing the Holy Tridents approaching; they turned to run away, however, they were decimated. I was contented as those wretch spirits were destroyed. I thanked God, and then, I returned home.
