Yaku turns into the side dirt road looking for help, hoping for a village nearby, and as he delves deeper and deeper into the woods, even the dirt road stops being visible, until he finally reaches a small beautiful hut, sorrounded by trees and kissed by the sun, birds chirping around, so peaceful...
He shouts for help and then a beautiful lady opens her door to him, a blonde with blue eyes and wearing a nobles dress, her cleavage showing, she smiles at Yaku and asks him what he wants, Yaku explains everything to her innocently and she smiles a warm smile at him and says "well you're in luck, it just happens that I'm a healer bring the injured man inside I'll tend to his wounds", Yaku smiles from ear to ear and thanks her profusely
Once Yaku lays Bone on her table inside the hut she tends to his wound and stitches him up, she says that Bone has lost alot of blood and she recommends they stay here for at least 3 days, Yaku agrees while Bone is knocked out due to exhaustion
She brings Bone some of her soup and they help him up to drink it, she tells Yaku to feed him the soup 5 times a day and to also help himself to this soup if he ever gets hungry, 2 days pass, yaku helped the healer with cutting wood and other tasks, she told him her name was Elena
Once the second night falls and everyone is sleeping, Yaku hears something outside so he wakes up to investigate, he opens the hut door slowly to peak outside and he notices that Elena is squatting down so he calls for her, she doesn't respond, so he walks up to her and puts his hand on her shoulder "hey Elena what are you doing so late at night" he says
Elena turns to him with her mouth covered in blood with a dead squirrel in her hand, it looks like she was eating it alive, Yaku immediately gets startled and backs off "H..hey what the hell is going on with you" yaku says with a shaky voice, she drops the squirrel and her eyes turn into pure white, her skin starts to melt and her real rotted skin starts to show
"Hehehehe, im so lucky to have such stupid naive humans come into my witch hut, once i eat you both my life will be lengthened once more" the witch says as she threatens yaku
Yaku starts running back to the hut to wake Bone up so they can escape but once he sees him he sees all his veins have turned green and he is in pain with an extreme feaver, "hehehehe looks like my poison has started to work and the funny part is, you fed him and yourself willingly " the witch says as she stands at the door with only her silhouette showing menacingly
Yaku grabs his sword and points it at her but he notices his hand shaking, some of his veins are turning green as well, he tries to put all of his mana into his sword but only some manages to coat it, it appears that he can't control his mana with his body being poisoned, "you...i trusted you, how could you do this to us" Yaku screams at her and starts coughing immediately
"Oh poor kid, you know i didn't lie, i was a healer...250 years ago but then i was consumed with my quest to chase immortality but as you see, the more i eat human flesh the more i turn into this abomination, it appears immortality doesn't come without a price" the witch answers him
Yaku jumps at the witch trying to cut her in half but she disappears like she was never there and then she shows up behind him "silly boy, this whole place is an illusion " she says and as thunder strikes the real hut appears around him, all worn out, dusty and barely standing
Yaku's eyes widen and he grits his teeth and tries to slash her again but to no avail, she keeps on vanishing, Bone stands up with his hand on his stiched up wound "yaku run away, you can't fight a being this powerful" Bone tells yaku
"No Bone lay back down you can't stand up yet" yaku shouts, "kid... I'm done for, even if we try to run i will slow you down, run away, live, im an old man, my wife and son are both dead just let me save you dammit" Bone says with a shaken voice
The witch appears again "no one will leave this hut alive, come on, get in my rotten belly" the witch tells them angerly
Bone musters some strength and runs at her to attack with a knife, she sends a small pruple mana wave at his hand to parry the knife, the knife flies away into the huts burning chimney and then she disappears, Bone puts his hand on the doors frams to support himself with heavey breathing"YAKU RUN, PLEASE JUST SAVE YOURSELF " Bone shouts while coughing
Yaku looks at him in despair, while looking all around trying to sense the witch, yaku holds bone to support him and they both start walking outside trying to escape but then the witch shows up again "you will never be able to escape me" she says as she disappears again and then a fire ball gets launched at them from afar, they manage to barely dodge but Bone falls to the ground, it appears the poison is spreading faster but he stands again by the sheer will to fight and save yaku
HE HE HE HE the laughs of the witch haunts them then it starts to rain, the witches magic disappear and she starts to burn so she immediately goes into hiding in her hut, Bone immediately tella yaku to burn her hut while she's inside they try to start a torch but the rain is too much "FORGET IT, LETS JUST RUN, WHERE IS OUR HORSE" Yaku shouts but the horse is nowhere to be found, they try to run on foot but a circle of fire surrounds the area around the hut, "it appears she can use her magic from inside her hut" Bone says
The poison starts to spread inside Yaku's body too, he can barely hold his sword, Bone pushes yaku to the ground and musters all the remaining strength he has and runs into the hut, "NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING " Yaku shouts while barely being able to stand, Bone runs into the hut and then grabs the burning wood from the chimney as his hands burn he spreads the burning wood on the ground, the hut starts to burn, the witch turns off her spell and immediately runs to the door with her physical body but Bone grabs her from behind and they both fall to the ground "no leave me, no... please, save me" the witch cries in disbelief and then the screams of the witch are heard all around, her and Bone both burn with the hut
Yaku sits outside helpless as the fire from inside the hut reflects from his eyes, tears run down as his body keeps going numb, "Bone...why" yaku cries as he loses consciousness
