Chapter 25 : THE VENTURING OF AMPLE

Sabad turned towards me, with guilt stricken eyes', then turning her head back towards Murcle, she spoke, as she interrupted him. " You never relayed the full story to us before, Murcle, why ? ". She said, looking at him.

Murcle turned towards' Sabad; " My dear ", he said. " There's a time and place for everything, including, historical events' ". And with that, he took the sweet tea in his hand and drank, finishing the last drops'. He placed the cup down, taking his hand, as he wiped the remaining droplets', from his lips'.

" As days' turned into months', and months' turned into years', and years' grow into centuries', we became accustomed to our new environment.

It took us sometime to figure out, how to pass the beast, at first it wasn't easy. He awaited us, by night, when we thought he would be sleeping . We needed a volunteer to venture into the realm. Ample, was the first to go. Preparing several days' in advance, he left in the late hours of the night. He got as far as the lake, but the moment his foot touched the embankment's edge, the beast arose, shooting out of the water, after Ample.
