Chapter 23 - Chapter#22(The unknown woman and haunting roads.)

Anastia blinked and looked at Adam.As he noticed her gaze.Hen laughed coldly said It is all normal and the woman is his distant relative.Anastia eyes widened upon noticing her beauty .She asked shockingly

"So this is how everyone looks in your village?."

Adam nodded,Anastia was left humbled by their enhancted beauty that she haven't realized that woman was approaching them

She carried a stick in her hand which had intricate designs and a purple gemstone was fixed on its upper centre.

The woman was blind yet the stick helped her walk.

As she stood in front of them. She looked to ask Adam:

"Is she is the one?"

Adam smiled and kissed her hand,

"Yes aunt she sure is."

The woman smiled and turned to look at Anastia.She bowed on her knees .Anastia went on panick mode but woman words made her go quiet.

"Oh Anastia,don't.

"Let me honour you.

Let the fate have mercy on her.

Oh land, Let this girl be bestowed with destiny.

Which shall shatter the very boundary."

Oh Land! have mercy,

Please let your kindness shine."

Soon her prayer ended she stood up and picked her stick.She looked at Anastia with worried gaze as she ordered both of them to follow her.

Anastia debated whether to follow her t but Adam gave her a push,

"Lets go."

Anastia couldn't say no and went along him.

->Soon they began to follow the old woman.

The woman took them through a road with multiple paths leading to a village but as they reached there not even an evidence of people living there was seen.

Anastia was left confused .

She twitched her eyebrow and asked Adam.His face turned serious upon her question and he started to tell her that:

"This village was abandoned due to unexplainable things which took place here.

Because as the fog disappeared which acted as a sole protector . This village became 

victim of numerous atrocities which a person could imagine.

At that moment, Anastia at that moment felt guilt for those people but Adam had no reaction on his face just pure gloominess.

The walk continued with silence lingering on her shoulders.

They walked miles but it didn't seem to end ,It continued in a loop the haunted streets enough to scare a person soul.

Anastia soul felt danger as they reached near a cliff.

She looked at the old woman and wondered,

Why they here?.

But before her curiosity got the better .The woman took a step and started to rotate her stick while whispering something which felt like a foreign language,

Soon the fog began to surround them.

The old woman yelled,

"Close your eyes,My child."

Anastia quickly closed her eyes her hands trembling in fear.They fog grew more and more surround them more and more until it surrounded them completely.

Anastia screamed with fear but Adam held her back.

After a few moments the fog disappeared and a sceneary of giant apple trees became clear.The old woman was nowhere to be seen and

they found themselves at a new place?..
