"Okay!" She spoke with no worries, looking naive and possibly dumb. "I had strange dreams, one was me dancing with my father... without seeing his face, and another was having two hands play tug of war with me." She was confused, if her dreams did have meaning, then what could they possibly be telling her? She looked at Markus, noticing his stare, her voice becoming soft. "Are you alright?" She stepped closer too him, putting her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.
Whisper approached his base where Umbra lay waiting for her virgin sacrifice. Their base looked like a pyramid created from red sand, filled with traps, puzzles and two Sphinx for guards. Once inside, he saw his mother await him.
Umbra was disappointed, not seeing that Whisper brought back the priestess, but she became worried that one of her beloved pets went missing.
“Mother…” Whisper spoke in a hushed tone. “Fairies in the woods… they murdered Murmur…”
Umbra sat silently for a moment, her tone didn’t show her emotion but her tears could not be stopped as they flow down her cheeks.
“What about the priestess?”
Whisper paused, deciding on if he should tell the truth or not.
“The priestess saved me from dying with brother, I felt like I should spare her life… I’m sorry mother, I Have failed you.”
“No.” Umbra spoke up. “You’ve gained their trust.” Her smile showed dark intentions.
