"For you to save them, you both will have to journey to the hidden land, to the wolf of Fire kingdom, only those wolves holds the key to kill the hybrid Vampire king", Ben told the two maidens in front of him. They had rode to his village late at night to seek for his help.

Odin and Olin had been kidnapped by the Vampire king, Ly. No one know how he was able to capture the twins . Philip and the Medallion wolf man had set out since that day to the Vampire king kingdom. They haven't returned and once again, Reed was made the regent King until Odin and Olin are rescued.

Odin daughter, Rava and Olin daughter, Rala were little when their mother were kidnapped but now that they have come of age, they had made up their minds to rescue their mothers and look for their father's.

"Where can we find the hidden land of the fire wolves?" Rala asked as they stare at Ben who stood up and was searching for something best know to him.

He brought out a worn out Book and gave it to Rava. Who in turn showed her sister.

"This is the only book you can use to find the fire wolf kingdom".

"But this kingdom doesn't exist", Rala protested.

"They exist, use the book and you will find the road to the hidden kingdom". Ben told them again.

"But since you have the book why haven't you journey towards the hidden land?"

"The book choose those who are willingly and who truly have the heart to journey to the hidden land of the Fire Wolves

"Grandmother the only way to rescue our mothers and kill the Hybrid king is for us to go to the hidden land of the FIRE Wolf to get what can put an end to the Hybrid king". Rava told the moon goddess and Arizona.

"But no one has ever find the road to the hidden land before, they all perish along the way. There must be other ways to kill the Vampire king". The moon goddess told her grandchildren.

"There are no other ways grandmother, we have made up our minds". Rala said.

"The hidden land is not a smooth road but let the spirit of your mother lead the both of you safely".

********
They left their kingdom one early morning as they journeyed towards the hidden land.

Following the book, they went down towards the foothills of a mountain.

Read " Riches Of The Dead-Ije (The Journey) " by the same author ( Ifeoma Isabella Okeke )

. The book said they will have to pass through the mountain.

As they near the base of the foothills, the ground became soggier with each step.

Rava groaned. "It's almost like the mud is alive. Like it's tugging at my feet!"

"It's your imagination Rava", Rala said as she yanked her foot up and slapping it down again on the mucky ground. "Let us keep going, there is no where around here we can set up our camp and it's starting to get dark".

"I can see that".

Rava was right about the ground though. The earth was solid some few hours ago and now it has suddenly turned to mud. Rala know but she doesn't want to put fear into them, so she pretended not to noticed.

The mud suddenly became black water as it rose to their calves.

"Something is not right here", Rala said and turned to see Rava getting shorter by the minute. They were sinking.

The black water around them started to churn and swirl.

In an instance, the water became alive around them.

Arms, thinner in skeletons form snaked out of the water grabbing hold of them. Just arms, growing, multiplying in numbers.

They had died in the water a long time ago when they had went in search for the hidden land. Grisly, slender arms as black as charred wood and their fingers like claws of a wolf.

Rava and Rala grab hold of their hands and jerked their feet's away from the hands as they moved quickly towards them.

The black water became more deeper than before sinking them faster.

"Here, grab hold of this". A male voice said above them as the sisters jerked their heads to the voice.

They grab hold whatever that was placed in front of them.
It was struggling contest between the stranger and the dark waters with the skeletons arms.

The stranger pulled them out with an inhuman strength. Exhausted, Rava and Rala fainted.
