Chapter Six
Decisions And Discoveries
Red Northlands Fury and Woodsman Of The Sacred Oak stopped just outside of the village as darkness dominated the night, and they peered at the sign lost to time and equally lost to a few weeds. AaBack was posted on the top sign and on the posted sign below it was written, Village of the Yeahmun Slayer. Woodsman held a magical lantern they acquired with great difficultly and at great expense.
"We can test the lantern here and once we do, we will know if it is the genuine article," Red told him.
Woodsman took a step forward, lifted the lantern, and the green light that emanated from it lit up the posted signs. Letters appeared on the top sign and soon words were created within the sprawled out name of the village. The upper case A became All and the lower case a became are. AaBack wasn't the name of the village but a warning for all to heed.
Woodsman read it aloud, "All who enter are doomed! Turn Back! Village of the Yeahmun Slayer."
"It works," Red said. "Now the lantern will illuminate all that is hidden, and we will find the Tear of Poer and take back what is ours–" Red stated as the magic sphere she held crackled in red furious energy as she vowed, "–and if I ever see that werewolf again, I will murder him for betraying us!"
