“... Where are we?” Max said.
It was getting dark so Leo, Riya and Max decided to go home. Unfortunately, while going back to the castle they got lost so they and their retainers were setting up a makeshift camp with barely any supplies.
Max was out getting firewood and currently, he was lost.
“I believe we are close by to the campsite, My Lord.” Edward said holding up the lantern, “It should be just up ahead.”
Instead of the campsite, they had come across a desolate village.
The light from the lantern illuminated parts of the village buildings, Max stared at the way the used-to-be houses had collapsed onto themselves, overrun by moss and small plants such as flowers.
Max took a step to go closer.
“My Lord, please do not.” Edward said. “You could get injured.”
“I’ll be fine.” Max said as he stepped closer to investigate, “What happened here?”
“I believe the village had been burnt down during the war.” Edward said. “During the war, it was common to burn down villages and farmlands so the rivalling Duchy would not have enough grain to sustain themselves.”
It was the silence that Max found the most unnerving, the way every step he took would break the silence for a fraction of a second, before the entire village… the entire Forest being buried underneath an oppressive silence, the flowers had masked the scent of the rotting wood well enough that Max could ignore the stench if he didn’t think about it too hard.
Max had known that a war had occurred before he got iseakied to Yurgenschmidt, but living the past four months in the castle, where he received plenty of food and a warm bed every night, the war seemed like something… From so long ago… It didn’t feel like something the Duchy was suffering the after-effects from.
Suddenly, Max heard a high-pitched scream.
“ AHHH~!!! ”
“MY LORD DON’T-”
Max ran in the direction of the scream, it sounded like a child was in a great deal of pain!
When Max got there, it was too dark to see, even with his lantern, he could barely make out the silhouette of a well from which the wails of a child was echoing out, “Hello?! Hello?! I am in need of assistance! Please help me!”
From the way the little boy spoke, it sounded like he was a Noble, “Don’t worry! I’m here to help!” Max started looking for a rope so the child could use it to climb up but he couldn’t find any.
The child stopped crying, “... Really? Sniff sniff! I am grateful! I see that there is a rope attached to the rod above the well, use that to get me out!”
Max was about to do exactly that when Edward tackled him to the ground, “Forgive me for such insolence but I cannot let you do this, My Lord!”
“That child is in danger!” Max yelled as he could hear the boy scream at the top of his lungs, screaming for help.
“That thing is not a child!” Edward said.
Max was so confused, “Of Course that’s a child!”
“If it is then ask how it got itself stuck in the well, My Lord.” Edward said, still pressing him into the ground so he wouldn’t be able to get up to help the child.
Max just growled in frustration, “How did you get stuck in that well?”
“Help me, please!” The child screamed out.
Maybe the child didn’t hear his question. “How did you get stuck in that well?” Max yelled a bit louder.
“Hello?! Hello?! I am in need of assistance! Please help me!” The child said.
… What? “Hello?” Max said, “I just want to know how you got stuck in the well!”
The child stopped crying, “... Really? Sniff sniff! I am grateful! I see that there is a rope attached to the rod above the well, use that to get me out!”
… What was going on?!
“It was a common war tactic.” Edward explained, “A recording of a Noble child’s voice is used, perhaps stuck in a tree or in a well. The knights, being concerned for the child’s safety, would go to rescue the child and a magic tool would kill them if they got too close.”
Edward picked up a stone and threw it at the well, Max watched as an explosion caused the stone to explode into multiple rock fragments.
Then, it became silent again, the crying stopped. And the Village became silent again.
As if there was no one else in the village.

Me 🇵🇭: It doesn't matter if you're an adulthood or younger age, we could still celebrate "Trick or Treating" for the Halloween. And look at it, a small portion of candy was good enough. 🍬🙂👍 Plus, the reason why they gave you a KitKat Christmas theme flavor was because we're still counting down the days before December 25th, even if we celebrate another important day. 🎅🎃 You could thank "Tim Burton" for making "The Nightmare Before Christmas", though. 😉 So, how about we take a break w/ KitKat, eh? 🍫😋
Me 🇵🇭: (Meanwhile) Even though, the Halloween festivety is now officially rear mirror, It'll take more than garlics and wooden nails to take down these adorable vampire clan (and no, not to be confused with Rod Ferrell's Vampire Clan, a real-life crime).
Riya 🐰🏎️ (as Simon Belmont): Vampire hunter, at your service, sir! 😀

Did Mona ever reach the hospital and survive or did she die that night?
Where is grimy Jason Shaw now?
What conversation did we have with our father when we reached college? Are we even talking?
Where did Logan go?
What is Colt upto these days? Did he lay his father to rest in a cemetery or did he have him cremated so he could keep his Pops close?
Toby & Ximena... did they move onto somewhere else together or separately?
Did Riya & Darius ever heal the from there break up and talk things out? Are they okay now and just friends? Or are they as close as strangers??
These are some of the things that keep me up at night 😣
