An excerpt from the update
“Okay, here’s what we do,” said Tilliana as the two boys gathered near her and the chanting from the barn grew slightly louder, “You two tie ropes to the doors of the barn and then, standing back, you pull the doors open.”
Kall looked at her and then reached back to pull out his rope.
“Let's Just open the doors,” said Jozz, deciding he did not like the plan. He strode purposefully towards the barn and threw open the right hand barn door.
Inside the barn, a large crowd of people, all in black robes, was gathered at the far end of the building. There were no stalls, just a large open floor. Somewhere on the other side, a large fire burned openly on the floor. On the other side of the fire there appeared to be a platform. In the middle of the platform stood a man in black armor and a black robe, holding a big scythe. Two other men stood at either side of him. In front of him, bound and gagged atop a large circular stone was a young girl. Two other bound figures were at the back of the platform on either side.
“Hey!” shouted Jozz, “Move it! Be good or die!”
There was an instant reaction as the chanting ceased and every head in the room turned to stare at Jozz.
