Facing the crowd, she announces, "Tonight there will be.. no lynch!"
A small, disheartened cheer went up. The crowd was somewhat smaller than it had been when Susan was killed. As is dissipated, Auraya decided to make home visits to those who had missed both votes.
As she entered Princess Elfin's cottage, she saw everything was is chaos. No-one replied to her calls and fearing the worst, Auraya made a thorough search. It seemed like everything had been packed hurriedly and Princess Elfin had fled the village in fear.
Moving on to Adashia's home, it saw a similar story. Larders and wardrobes had been raided, no sign of any orc activity. With a heavy sigh, Auraya headed over to Coltaine's dwellings.
As she stepped through Coltaine's door, a dark feeling crept over her. Scared of what she might find, Auraya called out for help but no-one was close enough. In a back room, was a lair of some kind. In it was stored roots, berries, powders and glass jars with bizarre contents Auraya did not what to think about. In the centre of the room stood a cauldron with grey water bubbling inside. Dust had been disturbed where books had been grabbed from shelves and Coltaine's personal effects where nowhere to be found.
Deciding that all three had abandoned her, Auraya went home with a feeling of regret. At least they were safe, she decided.
[When I first typed this post up, I wrote by accident, 'Tonight there will be.. no lunch!' - made me giggle xD]
