’So you are saying that after one more step, we will reach the spot where Andre lost Sera?’
"Yes." Cupid said.
"I didn’t say that."
"No. He is refusing now." Cupid changed her statement.
’Make up your damn mind. Both of you.’
"Let me clear it with him."
Cupid looked at Andrezj.
"What are you trying to say?"
"I mean to say the mist gets thicker after one more step and that place is where problems started with my dearest. The last time when I came with her here, I didn’t lose her in the next step but I sensed something wrong after moving forward. I am just warning you about that. Because if something happens, I will only save my dearest." Andrezj explained in clear words.
Cupid relayed all that to Pablo.
’Alright. I understand.’
Pablo stopped talking.
"What is it? Don’t waste time just standing around." Jamal spoke. They were standing for a while now.
Pablo ignored his complaint. "Place a marking here, sir Jamal. The mist in front of us is thicker than before. Problems will arise when we go inside it. I want all of you to stay vigilant for every damn second. Got that?"
"Yes!" The soldiers were ready.
Jamal also nodded and stabbed a pole on the ground.
"I did it. Let’s move." He said.
"Yes."
Pablo stepped further and like that, he was finally inside the thick mist.
"Shout as soon as you feel anything is wrong." Pablo instructed.
"Yes!" The soldiers were full of vigor.
Pablo walked further and Cupid did her best to share everything she was seeing.
Jamal also kept open all his senses and he would not hesitate to kill anyone suspicious.
"You are still on the road but the village seems near. There are withered trees at the side of the roads and the road is all black. You are venturing into something sinister." Cupid said.
Pablo heard her clearly and he didn’t stop.
He was relaying all that to Jamal and the soldiers and no one was afraid.
’Sera said she heard cries inside her mind. She was walking towards a house but she couldn’t reach no matter how much she walked. The mind will be attacked I am sure.’
Pablo remembered everything Sera told him after coming out of the mist and he was ready to face those things as well.
They all continued walking straight and now all of them were inside the thick mist.
Pablo walked slowly, carefully placing each step on the ground.
He was waving his hands left and right continuously, in case anything came in front of him all of a sudden.
And just the next second, something did come on his left hand.
"Raaargghhhh!!" He shouted in the loudest way possible.
He raised his hand, ready to attack.
"What happened? An enemy!"
Everyone else also stopped and they were ready to burn everything down.
"It’s me! It’s just me! Your assistant! It’s me!"
Pablo knew that voice.
"Sera?"
"Yes! It’s me! No enemy! It’s my hand." She said.
Pablo sighed. A sigh full of relief.
"Calm down, everyone. It’s just my assistant."
"Yes!" The soldiers stood at ease and Jamal shook his head.
"What is it?" Pablo asked.
"I am scared. I don’t want to hear that cry again." Sera’s hand was trembling. She was holding Pablo’s hand and yet her courage wasn’t there.
"Nothing will happen this time. Our minds are strong now and if you hear any cry it will be a lot less low than before. Don’t worry. You can keep holding my hand. Just don’t scare me like that."
Pablo acted all nice and he made Sera understand what to do. She was already scared and Pablo didn’t want to make it worse by discarding her hand and acting cold.
"Okay." Sera held Pablo’s hand tightly.
"Everyone, we will move again." Pablo said.
"Yes!" The soldiers heard him and everyone started walking again.
’Tell me when the village arrives and when you see some houses.’ Pablo said to his Angel.
’Will do.’
Pablo stopped talking and walked with full concentration.
Everyone walked slowly and by now, they were deep inside the mist. Very far from the Glory city.
"Now it will happen." Sera said and before Pablo could ask anything…

’The fcuk?’
Pablo felt it or heard it.
He stopped walking.
And everyone else did the same.
Jamal also stopped and all of them roamed their heads all around.
"Can you all hear it?" Pablo asked.
"Yes!" The soldiers heard it.
"What about you sir Jamal?"
"Yeah. Someone is crying."
"No, sir Jamal. Someone is not crying. We are hearing the cries inside our mind." Pablo shared.
Sera was right. She knew where she heard the crying.
"Everyone, this cry is a lot less than what my assistant faced. This is nothing. It’s very low. It’s hardly audible. And it’s not scary at all. My assistant faced a crying of a different magnitude and if she can survive that, then we sure as hell can. Don’t stop. We will keep going!"
"Yeahhh!" The soldiers were hyped up from the start.
"Mark this place, sir Jamal. We started hearing cries from here." Pablo said.
Jamal did that and another pole was stabbed on the ground.
After that, they began their journey again.
The cries kept coming but the soldiers with the mind Ego did a good job. The cries weren’t bothering anyone at the limit to make them all stop.
And like that, thirty minutes passed and finally, everyone stopped.
They stopped not because they were afraid or tired. They stopped because Pablo stopped.
’So we have entered the village?’
"Yes. You are standing just at the entrance of the village and there are houses in front of you but a little far." Cupid said.
’How far are the houses?’
"I don’t know, maybe one kilometer?" Cupid wasn’t sure.
But Pablo didn’t need surety. Cupid said good enough what Pablo wanted to know.
"Everyone!" He addressed the soldiers.
"Yes!"
"We are standing just at the entrance of the village. We have finally reached the Forsaken Village. And after one kilometer, there are houses in front of us. And my next words are directed to those who can use Fire."
"Yes!"
"All the fiery soldiers present here. I want all of you to lose your mind. My order to you all is…"
Pablo spread his arms and his first major order to the soldiers were just two words.
"Burn Everything!"
