Chapter 95: Land of the Dead- Part 1

"Don't be scared," the shadowed creature spoke to me in a whisper which only made me more scared, "My name is Drux."

My mouth was open as no words or voice came out of it. Shadowed creatures creeper in closer around the trees as one of them faced me right now.

"What did you mean by you were waiting for me?" I asked softly to it. The shadowed creature leaned forward towards me and spoke,

"Let's go to a warmer place. The temperature is going to drop again," it pulled back and turned to walk in the other direction. That's when I caught glimpse of its bony feet with no flesh. I contemplated on if I should or shouldn't follow it but then I had no idea where I was or how I could get back.

I was about to get up when I felt a bony hand in front of me. Looking up I saw another shadowed creature in close proximity. It was offering its hand for me to get up. Placing my hand on its hand I felt it wrap its long bony fingers around mine as it pulled me.

"Thank you," I thanked it.
