Chapter Eleven
The ride through the winding forest was long, but I kept my eyes glued ahead of us and guided us toward our target. We passed places that looked familiar, and I instantly realized that weâd passed these places on the journey to trap and kill the Drake. I vaguely remembered Birskonn but not as vividly as the larger, more impoverished town farther down the road. When I wracked my brain for any memory of the city, all that came to me was the enormous wrought iron gate with the townâs name emblazoned across it.
From my understanding, Birskonn rested in a small valley nestled between two massive mountains, quite like Edenhart, with the entrance sitting a little higher at the top of the incline. We hadnât seen the city proper, and I wondered if it would be any different than our home city, but weâd soon find out.
I gritted my teeth, lifted my head, and gazed up at the darkening sky above our heads. Then, I glanced over at the sleeping Daisy at my side and peeked over my shoulder into the first cabinâs confines. Rian sat at the small table with a book in one hand and rested the other on her belly.
âRian,â I barked. âPrepare the women. Weâll be there soon. Maybe within the next two hours. I want everyone to be ready to explore the city as soon as we find a good place to leave the caravan.â
âOkay, Charles,â the imp-woman nodded, dropped the book to the tabletop, and then stood. âEdony said that woods surround the entrance into Birskonn. We should be able to drive the horses and cabins through. We need to stay out of sight while weâre thereâ¦â
âIsnât it kind of funny,â I chuckled darkly and turned in my seat to face the road ahead. âSo many times in my life Iâve been called a scuttling rat, disappearing into the shadows after doing dirty deeds⦠and now Iâve taken that comparison and turned it on those who used it against me. Tell me, Rian, have you heard of the Scarlet Death? Have I ever told you about it?â
âNo, Charles,â the black-haired beauty uttered. âWhat is it?â
âBefore I was born,â I explained. âThere was an explosion of revolution in the larger cities. The smaller towns thrived with wealth and culture and expanded beyond their means. Thatâs when the rats moved in and took up spaces in their homes. People started getting sick, and at first, it was flu-like symptoms. It started with body chills, a common ill-feeling, and high fevers. Then the muscle cramps came, seizures, boils, and gangrene as infection set in and ate away at the flesh. No one knew they were infected until they showed the symptoms, but theyâd unknowingly already spread it to those around them. Thatâs when people started dying by the hundreds. The sick were shipped off to an isolated island where they were left to die, and plague doctors freely wandered the city, treating patients and escorting them out to the island when there was no chance at hope.
