Kruh and Uary

Chapter 8

The prisoners take to the road again, but Dew doesn't let her go. The locals drag them to the public square. Dew is at death's door, an elder arrives in front of them.

-You must suffer the punishment of your deeds, he says.

Dew finds the strength to crawl to the old man and tell him

-I swear I'm innocent, he caught me by mistake, he points at Uary, she sells pure souls to the succubus.

The crowd gasps

-She wanted to sell me when the wolves caught us, he said.

-Is this monster real? asks a woman

-He's a liar, Uary gets angry, she gets up with difficulty and hits Dew with all her might.

The crowd let her loose, she stood next to the body and hid her face.

-She killed him, so what he says is true.

-She killed him for what he said.

-THE poor man

Uary wipes her face and tries to follow the prisoners' trail, even though she's limping, she can't afford to give up, not now, not after all this. The crowd catches up with her and pulls her hair before beating her to a pulp.

-Please, I don't want to hurt you, repeats Uary.

-We're going to make you suffer like your victims did.

-I'm innocent, I swear, I had nothing to do with it, laments Uary.

-The monster lies, the monster lies, chants the children as they run with torches.

-Bring her, shouts a woman

-yyeeaaahhhh , shouts the crowd

uary is bound by wrists and ankles, an orc drags her by the hair to a house behind her the crowd follows, Uary tries to hit the orc's hand

-Let go of me, I'm only trying to help you,shouts Uary.

The orc throws her into a large hall, the crowd has gathered, everyone is here, children and old alike.

-We're going to have some fun, aren't we, soul seller for the succubi, says an elf as he closes the door, the crowd laughs.

...

Uary is lying on the floor, she doesn't know what time it is or even what day it is, so much the better, she doesn't want to know. No one has come to visit her today, so she sighs and looks up at the ceiling. The door opens and a gnome brings her her meal, a fish skeleton and water with herbs.

-Times are hard, laughs the gnome.

Uary puts her back to her, she feels hands turning her over, the gnome gets on top of her.

-I'm sure it's grown back, go on, open your mouth wide.

Uary presses her lips together.

-If you don't open your mouth, I'm going to

Uary opens her mouth wide and looks up at the ceiling, the gnome smiles and pulls out her new teeth.

-I've finished, she says happily, you've been good, the gnome kisses her, see you tonight.

Uary wipes her mouth and throws the bowl on the floor. Frustrated, she bangs her head against the floor, a metallic noise makes her eyes open wide, she rummages in her bun and pulls out a bomb. She smiles as she looks at the solution to her problems in her hands.
