Chapter Six (15)

Inside the darkness, Lizzy opened her eyes and could see quite clearly. Though she was still aware of the lack of light all around, she still could see stiff soldier up ahead. She felt that he was staring right at her no matter how she moved so, she started to approach. She pondered upon what she should say t the stiff figure, but no words of greeting came out.

“Nether person,” A voice like rushing wind echoed within her.

“Who are you? Why did you drag me in?” she asked.

“I did not,” he answered. Still, Lizzy could not see his lips move. He stood as stiff as a statue in his wooden armour staring at her with dead eyes from his helmet.

“Nether people are not allowed on the mountain. Have you forgotten the pact?” the man asked.

“I have come to accompany my lady on her quest,” Lizzy said cautiously.

“The Nether is not allowed on the mountain” the man said and started to approach one step at a time. At this moment, Lizzy panicked and retreated mirroring his steps.
