Chapter 80
"Paul are we going to visit a witch?? . . . . A crazy ones that live in swamps??? . . . . " I asked
"Yeah . . . . kinda . . . . . " he replied .
"Are you crazy . . . they are evil . " I replied .
"She knows things far beyond my understanding, whatever is wrong with you . . . . . She will defiantly know . . . . " he explained .
"You're gonna keep me safe right???" I asked needing a little reassurance .
"Trust me . . . . . I'll give up my own life for you . " he replied .
"Okay . . . . " I replied still feeling extremely hesitant .
Before we even reached the door, it began to open on its own letting out a long creek as it opened . "Come in dearie . " the voice of an old frail lady spoke out to us as we entered .
The interior was completely opposite to the outside, it was extremely unnerving, untidy shelves littered with what seemed to be organs, insects, weird liquids, some insects and small animals even living running around in their glass jars . Shrunken heads and innumerable dried things hanging off the ceiling . In the centre something that looked like it came from a horror film . . . . a rectangular table with restraints and obvious signs if dried Blood and crude operating equipment . The combined stench of everything made it revolting to breathe through my nose . . . . . But the air felt stale and heavy when trying to breathe through my mouth .
"Paul I don't think this is a good idea . . . " I whispered to him . . . . .
The door instantly slammed shut trapping us inside . "What did you say dearie? My ears aren't as good as they used to be . " the old frail void said to us .
"Please Emilia . . . . watch want you say here . . . . " Paul pleaded .
"Granny Maltilda I've comes to seek your help . " Paul shouted out to her .
"The Black Dragon Slayer needing help from little old me??? . . . What could it possibly be??? . . . . " the old voice boomed with a maniac crackle of laughter .
"Are you willing to help???" he asked her .
"Of course Granny Matilda is always happy to strike a deal . " She shouted .
Paul placed his hand on the table and with a small blue glow all the stains on the table were erased and magically renewed with life making it look fresh and new and gently placed me on it .
"Remember don't offend her . " he said to me, as a door opened from one of the rooms and out stepped a grotesque hideously tall thin old woman . Her face covered with boils, warts and moles . What little hair she had left was extremely thin almost to the point of falling off, knotted and messy like it hasn't been cared for in years . Her long bony fingers and hands also riddled with boils and peeling skin with extremely long pointy fingernails, wearing a long simple black robe, worn and tattered with age .
"Granny Matilda is always happy to help someone in need" she walked out slowly limping as her name and age might suggest, looking at me with a creepy smile .
Paul stood in front of me block her from my view . "Granny my friend has lost motion in her legs I want you to see what's wrong and possibly heal her . " Paul asked, speaking quickly and to the point unlike Granny Matilda who seemed to be revelling in our company .
"Why so hasty??? . . . . sit and drink . . . . it's been a long time since me and my daughter has had visitors . " She said to Paul, 'she has a daughter???!!! . . . . . '
"I would love to but it's getting late in Arcadia so we can't stay for long Paul insisted .
"Okay okay . . . . So Black Dragon Slayer . . . . . You say your friend has no motion in her legs??? . . . . . Is it from a battle? . . . " She asked .
Stepping aside to let her see me, "Yes I've tried to heal her and even used a healing circle with no effect . " He answered her .
"Hmmmm that extremely peculiar . . . . . " She said taking a step closer to me look and feeling my legs with her long bony fingers, if I wasn't paralyzed I would defiantly be freaking out more .
"Hmmm have you tried restoration?? . . . . " She asked .
"Yup tried that as well . . . " Paul replied .
"Hmmmm you're defiantly a special case she said looking at me with a smile . Heading Paul's warning I awkwardly smiled back .
"Maybe I should keep her to study, take a better look at what ails her . " She suggested .
"Hmmm I don't think the school would allow that . . . . " Paul replied, "You don't know what's wrong with her?? . . . " Paul asked .
"Of course I know what's wrong with her . . . . " She said acting arrogant walking to a shelf of old worn books .
"So we you've tried most healing spells . . . . and nothing has worked . . . . . " She pulled out a book blowing off the dust and wiping away the cobwebs .
"Hmmmmmm there is only one answer" she said snapping the book closed placing it back on the shelf . "So before I tell you what ails her we should talk about terms . . . . : she said with a giant smile .
"What do you want in return??? . . . a wish . . . ? . . . " Paul asked .
"Although very tempting I think you're too smart to give me a wish without doing something to work around it" She said still smiling . "What I need is something only you and a few others can offer . " She said walking to another door in the house .
