Werewolf Mirror

Roy had arrived at the peak of the Cambrian mountains. He dismounted from his horse, as did Pastor Albert and Rudi. The three of them tied the saddle ropes to a large tree. Pastor Albert surveyed the surroundings and then walked far into a cluster of tall and dense trees. Roy and Rudi followed closely behind, observing the various plants thriving there.

Pastor Albert stopped near one particular type of flourishing plant and began plucking it. He then showed it to Roy, saying, "This is the Wolfbane plant I was referring to." Roy replied, holding the plant, "I have only seen it once before. It is truly a beautiful plant."

"Let's gather as much as we can to plant in the village of Hogan and the church," Pastor Albert suggested. Roy and Rudi nodded in agreement and carefully uprooted the plants. Once they felt they had collected enough, the three of them descended from the mountains and made their way back to the Bradford church.

Upon arriving at the church, Pastor Albert instructed some monks to immediately plant the Wolfbane around the church. Roy also hurried back to his village to plant the rare plant. The villagers of Hogan were overjoyed to see Roy successfully bring the protective plant, and they eagerly joined in planting the Wolfbane around the village borders.

As evening approached, they all appeared tired, including Roy, who had been busy dealing with the case for several days. When he reached his room, he immediately fell into a deep sleep. However, he was awakened in the middle of the night by the howling of wolves near the village border. Roy quickly left his room and headed to the courtyard, where he saw several villagers outside, witnessing the event. The villagers had woken up and wanted to ensure that the plant indeed served as a deterrent.

Roy and his neighbors watched as two werewolves attempted to enter the village but were repeatedly thrown back. The supernatural creatures tried multiple times but were always repelled, howling loudly as if expressing their immense frustration. Eventually, they ran away into the forest, snorting in anger. Finally, Roy could breathe a sigh of relief, as the creatures did not return.

The villagers cheered with joy, witnessing the event. They were now convinced that the plant had successfully saved their lives. Shortly after, Lorena's mother woke up, hearing the joyful cheers of her neighbors. She immediately went outside to see the cause of the commotion and shared in her happiness over her son's successful efforts to protect the entire village.

In the Parvun forest, the two werewolves who had been thrown back stopped running. Their breaths were labored, and in an instant, they transformed back into human form. It turned out that the two werewolves were elderly individuals.

"Those insolent people! Now the village is protected by the deterrent plant," Mr. Roger exclaimed angrily.

"True, our movement becomes more difficult with the presence of that plant," Mrs. Brenda replied with a vengeful expression on her face.

"We should report to Bovier," Mr. Roger said.

"Enough, let's go back to the castle now," Mrs. Brenda replied as she transformed back into her original form.

They ran quickly until they arrived at the castle. Without waiting long, they entered the mirror and disappeared instantly without leaving a trace. The arrival of Mr. Roger and Mrs. Brenda was noticed by John, who had been secretly watching their departure from under the big table. John didn't know who they were, but he knew that these two supernatural creatures had been seen coming out of that mirror several times.

"Who are they?" John wondered.

John felt that he had to solve this mystery so that the secret of this cursed mirror would be revealed and the main culprits of this incident would be known to all the castle's inhabitants.

While his mind was wandering, suddenly Mr. George entered the living room. Luckily, John managed to control himself so that he wasn't too surprised by his master's arrival.

He saw Mr. George sitting on the sofa, staring at the mirror. Not long after, he left the room. John breathed a sigh of relief and after waiting for a few minutes and making sure that his master wouldn't return to the room, he quickly got up and crawled out from under the table.

But to his surprise, he heard a voice calling him gently, yet threateningly.

"John, why are you investigating us?" the voice asked faintly and softly as if carried by the wind.

Hearing that eerie and chilling voice, John's hair stood on end. He turned towards the mirror and just stood there, unable to move. Not long after, the mirror spoke again, this time with a deep, threatening voice.

"Don't ever try to eradicate us, because we will chase you wherever you are," the man replied.

Hearing the threat only made John more frightened, and he quickly went to his room and locked the door. From that moment on, when night fell, the servant never left his room to investigate the mystery inside the castle. This was not unnoticed by Frank, who saw John's change in behavior and becoming more introverted every day.

One bright morning, Frank approached John, who was cleaning the stable. At that moment, he immediately asked what caused his friend to become so quiet.

"Why have you been so quiet lately?" Frank asked, looking at his friend.

"I can't talk about it here, it's too dangerous," John replied, looking around the castle.

"Then when will you be honest?" Frank asked, becoming more curious.

"In two days, we will go to Cardiff for shopping and I will tell you everything," John reassured his friend.

"Alright then," Frank said, smiling upon hearing his friend's promise.

Two days later, Frank and John set off for the Ashford district. Every month, John always did this, and coincidentally, Frank had just started working at the castle, so he was assigned by Macom to give directions and train the new servant.

During the journey, John told Frank everything he had seen so far, including the threats from the creatures residing in the mirror. Then, John reminded Frank not to engage in deep conversations while inside the castle, as he didn't know who among the castle's inhabitants were followers of the werewolves.

Upon hearing his friend's words, Frank became even more afraid of getting involved in that mysterious supernatural circle.
