Chapter 76

Lucas and Rafinah were half way through the forest with Princess Joan strapped to his back when they heard someone sneeze. All through their journey they had surprisely not encountered anyone in the forest.

"I don't think anyone will remain in the forest after experiencing what just happened" Lucas explained to Rafinah as she was already being skeptical about the absence of anyone in the forest.

"At least we should have ran into some hunters or something" Rafinah had objected but deep down Lucas knew everyone must have found a nearest exit out of the forest as was the normal whenever something like that happened. So it came as a surprise when they heard someone sneeze without seeing anyone.

They both stopped in their tracks expecting to hear someone advancing towards them but they saw no one forthcoming.

Again they heard a sneeze this time louder than the first one. It also came with a struggling from behind Lucas.
