 At the age of 14, she was forced to take refuge in the forest after being declared the number one fugitive in the world. Nine years later, the maiden sang

            the thoughts on my mind could blow up the world.                                                                                                       
            I'm willing to follow the death path, the path to graves,

           What is the point of trying? what is the point of hiding?

                       because i will come for them"

Maiden Houdini

How long had she lived in the forest? roughly nine years.

why? Because mankind seek her life and only the forest could accommodate her after being declare number one fugitive in the country and across for the crime she did not want to delve into, thus today was finally the day she entertained the thought of returning to where she naturally belonged.

From a bushy area, a stone's throw away, the maiden picked some carrots, wild peppers, wild garlic, onions, tulips and other ingredients before returning to her cave dwelling to prepare a flavoursome rabbit pepper soup which took her nearly an hour to finish. Then she served herself and Ragnar in two different time-worn-out plates.

"Terrific! now it shall be" she stood up with furious vigor and began the necessary preparation until night veiled the world in darkness.

At night, the sky was bespeckled with silver pentagrams radiating from the elegant full moon and laced to the forest of ancient symphony.

In the night, the forest was defined by milky smoke, making it look like a realm of illusion, awashed by the susurration of insects and the nocturnal forest natives.

"Bastards! what the heck did you consume"

Camping men near a cave called Creek cave, were overwhelmed with disaster as three out of their ten men suddenly fell sick and were tossing their cookies.

Specter, their leader stood akimbo flaring his nose above the amort men on the forest floor, hot under the weather. The sparkling campfire left everyone and the surrounding glowing red, particularly Specter who was the closest to the campfire. The glow made him look like a devil in the night owing to the eerie tattoos around his ears, neck and downwards plus his barbaric nature.

The sick men were evidently still in torturous pain for not a word could they utter. They vomited everything including sounds of weakness and their lives currently hanging by thread.

In the somberness of the atmosphere, the rest of the men could only be discombobulated as that was something no one bargained for. Moreover, they provided all necessary aid to the sick, however, everything was futile and their situation was almost exacerbating.

"I have warned you of the lurking threats in the forest as it is the melting pot of danger yet they turned deaf ears and acted as they wished, who knows if they ate something they shouldn't have" Specter said through gnashing teeth. He added

"Move them aside and start looking for a suitable place to dig graves for them. I can not be blamed because i have forewarned all of you"

The rest of his men nodded in agreement. They were indeed warned and that was why they thought Specter was not exonerating. Anyone who doesn't listen to warning can not blame the Warner after the forewarned has occurred.

"Tut tut, pitiful nincompoops. I can cure them you know, if you want me to"

Ragnar's master made a veiled appearance, etching the look of surprise on the faces of Specter and his men.

'Am i having problem with my eyesight or is it a lady i am seeing?' that was most likely their thoughts.

"Do you need help or should i rather mind my business" she added only to bring them out of their dazed state.

"Who are you and what are you doing here at this time of night" naturally, it was Specter's question. That was forest after all and not a garden to entertain the thought of taking a stroll.

"This isn't a stag is it? why the too much surprise?" -the maiden. As obstructing as darkness, no one could see her face clearly owing to insufficient light and the veil across her face leaving only her silvery orbs in view.
