Questymyre II: The Land Of Mists & Mirrors
Chapter 16: The Village of Solum
Roami was so deep in thought he did not initially hear the singing but it grew loud enough to push past his anger and fears. The song came from a metal megaphone attached to one of the cottages which stood dark and shadowed along the desolate street.
As the day ended a sweet young girls voice wafted across the silent village. Roami quickly noted they were the same words from a verse he had skimmed over in the Book of Letti. The girl sang out, “Light the lanterns, lock the doors, hole up tight before they come. In night grow monsters we all fear, pray oh pray they won’t come near. Hole up tight before they come, but if out ‘fore the night is through, best believe you’ll join the doomed!”
Once the song died down his thoughts came back in full force to confront him. He tried to think of numerous possible solutions to save Robin’s life but regrettably ruled each one out. By the time he returned to the cabin, locked the front door and stood by Robin’s side, the only thing he could think to do was…cry.
