ITHRA
“Ithra…” A voice called in a ghostly tone,
“There is no more time…”
I looked around the dark forest without fear. “Sarai, where are you?”
“At the heart of the forest. Let's meet at the heart of the forest...”
The voice returned to me. I nod and turn eastward toward the forest. I stare longingly at the mountain,
“I’ll be there, just hold on!” I called back and started my sprint towards the mountain.
Wait!
The voice called back, Sarai’s voice. I come to a halt.
“Take the book! Don’t come without the book! You need the book!”
Confusion clouded my features, “What book? I don’t have any book.”
“The ancient witches book. Get it, you’ll need it. You’ll need your powers…”
At the mention of my powers, I felt a dark aura surround me. It immediately dawned on me the implications of her words. I still didn’t have my powers. I was still weak.
“Get the witch’s book and get to the heart of the forest, Ithra.”
