Bab 247: Missing (2)

In the labyrinth of the forest filled with tall trees, thicket, and shrouded with darkness, a group of people huddled around together, trying to get as much warmth from their bodies in the middle of the cold night.

A child not less than fifteen years old shifted on the ground where he sat along with the other people around him. Almost everyone was shivering from the cold and fear of the men armed in their armors and swords clasped around their waist belt. And just like a predator waiting for their prey to make a move, every armed men had their hands on the hilt of their swords, ready to strike any second someone moved.

Looking around in a discreet manner, the child realized that they were abducted along with other people, possibly people from the neighboring kingdoms because they all wore different fashion styles. Not only that… the sky was already covered with gray clouds and faintly lit by the yellowish glow of the moon high above the sky.
