Eric Bridge And The Locket Of Blood (BOOK 1)

Natalie tree house

'Rest here Retro' I whispered in his ear gently whilst he groaned like an old man with stomach ache, Connor did the same he had put Rodolfo on to the messaging wavy jade grass.

'Wait here Connor, take care of them , I will try to find Natalie with magic flight'

'Yo-u have mag-ic fli-ght?' he asked with a peak in curiosity,

'I thought magi-c fligh-t was exttrrremlyyy rare, more of a rumor than a rea-l thing'

'Its real but it wastes a lot of energy' I replied supplying Connor with information. Connor stayed put with Rodolfo and Retro at his side. I focused- and in a second I soared and my cloak flattered itself- if only I had enough energy to travel from the beggining of the forest till it's last few trees I thought, but I couldn't, it was impossible. I flew higher and higher till I saw the other end of the forest, I glided against the strong wind which almost threw me back to the ground but as I extended my staff, so did I. Up close I spotted a tree house, highly elaborated but strange in structure it has two towers twirling but still staying intact to the whole building and attached to tree without falling. The towers were made out of gravel but the building in middle was made out of sepra-like wood in the form of a bungalow. Alpine plants, vines and sprouts suffocated the Bungalow as they twirled around it and the two grey towers with windows of their own. I stood still, puzzled. Maybe there were people living in the forest, but who would do such a thing? Maybe the wraith lived there, but then again I wouldn't imagine him staying there, he was more suited to live in a dark cave brimmed with secrets of Lore.

Then I witnessed the unexpected, a cafe-latte toned girl with frizzy hair jumping around like an idiot was on the tree house exploring the skyscraping bean-stalked weeds. I grew more furious and blood steamed through my head. I blood shot my eyes and she glanced towards my direction as if she sensed my presence but she didn't catch me flying in the air thanks to my blackened cloak which camoflauged me with the rest of the dark purple sky. Her face stood blank as if she had expected something to be in the air- but she had not spotted me. Now I clenched my fist, how dare she? She's irresponsible, Natalie endangered us and my mission!

I gladly wanted to put her to shame, to embarass here in front of a roaring crowd of wizards that threw vegetables at her while she stood naked in front of the dark lord sitting on his throne. If the dark lord had bared witness of what occured- the sentence would fall on her life. I drove back south to get back Connor, Retro and Rodolfo. I ascended slowly near them, every bit of movement hurt Retro as he whimpered.

I held Retro again and Connor lifted Rodolfo,

'Let's go, I know where that bloody Natalie, sleeps!' I said angrily,

'I might put her out of her misery if she disobeys!' I barked at Connor as if he was to blame. Connor shocked himself with fright from my rapid barking and his jaw didn't move for him to talk back to me.

'I'm sorry, I'm just angry' I say to justify myself,

'It's ok, my lord Eric' Connor said in the calmest and sweetest voice which ever echoed. At times Connor was compared to a dainty and cute teddy bear, he was harmful- surely didn't deserve to be on these perilous woods of creatures. Natalie although young and jolly had the ability to track the forest like the back of her palm, but she did not- she ended up causing me trouble. We are delayed, Hellas hasn't woken up from his Slumber and Retro needed a huge amount of rest to recopurate and he needed to eat.

Thank God that Natalie has the provisions, otherwise if she didn't; she'd already be dead by me or the agents of the dark lord. If my father hears about this he won't settle and his hollowed wicked eyes will boil in to cavities of nothingess.
