The bodies that laid on the cold hard floor was being exam by rune, looking at them closely he noticed holes in their hearts. He doubt they were vampires due to the fact that there bodies would have been crystalized.Serf kneels down to Rune level "Did you find anything interesting?"
Rune nodded" See these black holes" Rune touched the holes seeing how slimy their skin was after the effect took a toll on the humans body. "There are several holes which could mean that they might have ate or drinked something that cause this reaction to happen. What ever was in that tea in the palace must have also been transfered here. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the works of a Dark witch. I even had a taste a bit of it to see if it affected me, it made me very weak so I had to call a doctor the same day. It seems like this substance is very what"s the word strong for the human body to handle."
Serf rubbed his chin with his free hand "It might be more than just dark witches involved. I know only one person who can do something like this d.u.c.h.ess Chantelle Paxton."
Rune tilted his head in confusion of the person who he never had heard of "Who is d.u.c.h.ess Chantelle Sir? Forgive me for sudden outburst I"m curious."
"Hmm thats one of Dixie"s enemies, this was over ninety decades ago long before the great war. There is war that"s not mentioned in the book "Battle Of Velcrow". d.u.c.h.ess Chantelle is the person who represents Darknes and corruption as for Dixie she is the Light of the empire just like Nicole. If we ever went to war with those things than we would need both of them to fight against the darkness."
"Light vs Dark, Isn"t that information in the forbidden books, Chronicles I mean forgive me. Why did this suddenly becone your attention to tell me this information? Are there more wars missing from the events that lead us here today?"
Serf stood up taking the gloves off from his hands, time was precious to him and he knew he had places to be but there was more going on out there than anyone knew even himself. Rune who stood up immediately after Serf took off his gloves as well.
"We can conclude that the holes in the bodies are posioned and the works behind this is d.u.c.h.ess Chantelle. I"m sure Mo an Melody are being controlled by her or Eleanor. Eleanor was just a tool doing Chanetelle"s dirty work an probably is dead for not keeping her promise to the woman that grows with hatered that it drove her mad. Connor update the doc.u.ments and send it to the kingdoms, the information they know might help us greatly to see where the source is actually coming from. Don"t you agree Rune?"
Rune bored "Yes I agree Lord Serf, my only question is how will we get the bodies from the village to the palace?
"Oh Rune, I"m not taking all these bodies with me I"m going to give them burn them. Let tge other council men know about this. Is Dixie still in the carriage? "
Rune took a glance outside seeing the carriage door wide open seeing her throw up from the odor that was rotting on the humans flesh "The Lady seems sick from the smell should we take her home for the day Sir?"
"No this happens often when she smells rancid things. Dixie was so eager coming here knowing this was work that needed to be taken care of. Let me know if you find anything else Rune I"m going to talk her."
"Yes Lord Serf" Rune went back inside to further examine the corpse. Serf walking out the home and towards Dixie, she was wiping her mouth with her glove.
"Dixie are you feeling aright? Why dont you drinking some water, Tell me why did you want to come here so bad if you was just going to sit in the carriage all day." His tone was calm yet filled with bubbling anger.
"Sorry Serf I just don"t think its best for me to go in the village yet, I"m sending something dark there. Was it d.u.c.h.ess Chantelle works?"
"Yes it was when I Find her I"ll break her bones with my bare hands. I need you to stay by side who knows what may happen to you if your left alone. This is a cold world it gets colder day by day. Please join me in this matter your help will be very much appreciated." Serf extended his hand towards Dixie placing her hands within his leading her out the carriage and into the village looking for home that the council haven"t examined yet.
Serf saw an old dilapidated home that was on the verge of crumbling due to its old exterior wood. He took no time to drag her in the home seeing a woman"s dead body on slumped on the floor. He hands her a pair of gloves and lets her examine the body, taking the gloves from serf she puts them on her hand and gets on her knees. Dixie"s brown eyes flickered to her golden shiny eyes as she examines the body she see"s a branding that was on the side of the woman"s neck.
"Dark energy was used to corrupt the woman"s core her heart she had no control. This woman Was better off dead than alive Chantelle seemed to have gotten stronger with her ability to possession. She didn"t have time escape the d.u.c.h.ess rath. Serf I want to tell you somthing about the darkness and light is that okay?"
Serf kneeled down to her level with a smile
"Tell me whats know your mind the more you about these things the faster we can eliminate them. So please share darling I"m all ears.
Dixie sigh looking at anxiousness" Long ago before we met me and my people had countless wars between the d.u.c.h.ess Chantelle people. I know this means nothing to you now but there was a time when light and darkness got along settling out a fueds that lasted more than a thousand decades ago. Until one of the members of my tribe betrayed their trust by falling in love with a member of darkness. When news broke out about the sudden Pairing Chantelle killed the couple as a reminder to never get to close to one another. We considered it and abomination to this world because its not human nor any other creature we might know of its simply unknown. If you happen to find or see the d.u.c.h.ess you need to tell me immediately she is dangerous. This is her damage even Mo and Melody are apart of this bloodshed I can sense there smell they were here. "
Serf kiss her forehead "See you do know something , If I find her I"ll make sure to tell you right away right now I"m going to need you to track down Mo and Melody."
