The forbidden Scroll

The forbidden scroll (waking)

I woke up with a start. I sighed and thought 'it was just a dream, nothing to be afraid of'. It was still dark outside, the moon illuminated the cave and my surroundings. James was sleeping peacefully on his mat, which he had moved next to mine. I sighed again and got up to head outside for some fresh air. I grabbed my sword first of course, incase I was attacked by ravagers.

It was chilly and I found myself shivering. The moon was full and I could feel the luna energy radiating around me, it was almost as if it was calling me, or trying to tell me something. Then I heard it. Screaming.

Suddenly I was on full alert, I quickly snapped open my wings and flung myself into the air. I headed towards where the screams were coming from at lightning speeds. The wind rushed past my face, making my eyes water, everything around me was a blur.

The screaming was coming from an area of the kingdom that I had not yet seen, I had heard people talking about it and calling it the dead zone. Everything was still and kinda spooky. The screaming was getting louder so I landed and continued on foot. By the tone of the scream some one was obviously in pain, yet something about the screaming sounded different, almost non-human.

 came around a corner to see a small, worn down and permanently damaged cottage. The walls were half gone and there was no ceiling, the screaming was coming from inside. I crept towards the cottage as quietly as I could. my heart was thumping. That's when I heard something familiar. I peeked around the corner and the sight that I saw made my blood run cold.
