Dragon's curse

chapter twenty nine

I want to see if the rumors are true or not about my mother being brought back to life. I wish I knew more about these people that are bringing others back to life and having them be reborn. This is nagging at me and I have no idea on what I should do next. Jeff has been traveling with me ever since we left Electros house. I wanted him to come with me but I also wanted him to live a normal, happy life as well. God I sound like his mother right now, I will let him do what he wants to do and I will support him in his decision. 

“Ash, it has been a month and we have no leads on your mother.I know you want to know if she is alive or not but if we stay on the road too long then we will get caught by the guards.” Jeff said in a concerned look.

Ash sighed in annoyance, “Ok, Ok I get it. I just…” she quickly stopped herself from finishing her sentence.

 “I understand Ash, I know how you feel. Ash, I wasn’t going to say anything but I heard about the location where the people that Electro warned us about are staying. Maybe they can help us out and if they are there then we can ask them.”

Ash quickly stopped her horse and Jeff did the same, there was a long moment of silence as Ash thought about her options that were laid out in front of her. She could forget about seeing if her mother was brought back to life or got to this group and ask them for help. Tears welled up in her eyes as Jeff pulled up next to each other, they were only inches from each other as they hugged each other. 

Ash quickly said through tears, “Thank you Jeff.”

Jeff said with a smile, “We better get going if we want to see if they resurrect her or not.”

They quickly released each other from their embrace and lightly tapped their horse on their side lightly. Jeff looked around to see trees in every corner on the side of the road. Ash looked over at Jeff and saw that he was smiling with delight as he looked around with delight. After a few hours, they reached a three way fork in the road, they quickly stopped in the center of the road as they thought about which path they were going to take. Ash quickly saw that there was a pole with three different signs on it. The top sign  that pointed to the left read, Blood Moon Valley, the second sign that pointed straight ahead read, Indian forest and the last sign that pointed to the right side of the road read, Witches creak town. 

Ash asked “So what do you know about this group that revives people?”

Jeff replied “Not much, they are called the Black Wolf tribe and as others say, they help the dead with what they want.”

“By raising the dead or reviving them by putting them in another person's body that recently passed away?” Asked Ash in confusion.

Jeff giggled for a moment and then he burst out laughing for a few minutes, he then whipped the tears from his eyes as he stopped laughing .

“They do rais and revive the bead by placing them in another deceased person's body at times but they don't do it unless they have permission from the deceased. I know them very well, Ash.” Jeff slowly said. 

Ash quickly asked, “Wait you know them, when were you going to tell me this?”

There was a long moment of silence before Jeff replied “I am telling you now and I was going to tell you when I thought the time was right.”

Ash said with a sigh “They… they are like family.”

“Yes they really are like family to me.” Jeff said with a calming and satisfying look on his face.

There was another long moment of silence as they went through the dense forest that surrounded them, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of nature surrounding them from every corner. It was as if all the animals and bugs were interested in them but didn’t want to get too close to them as they passed by.
