Chapter 297 Croatoan Part 2

It didn't take long for Uriel to reach the square in front of the cathedral and he saw the writing himself just before getting to the Alamo. All of his fears were confirmed as he was able to translate the word from the ancient language.@@@@

"We're in so much trouble I don't know what should we do first." Uriel muttered.

"Why?" Luna asked.

"A long time ago, during the european collonization of the americas, Sir William Raleigh made a settlement called Roanoke. In those times, traveling through sea was a dangerous endeavor and not every ship that sailed was able to return safely but they needed to restock supplies to solidify their presence in the continent.

Because of that, they sent the ship back to Europe in hopes of bringing more settlers and supplies, but when they came back the place was empty."

"Empty? Like this city?" Charlie was already biting on her fingernails.

"Huh? Why are you so scared? You've probably killed way more cryptids than the average hunter." Luna glared at the ranger.

"This is different!" Charlie tried to defend herself. It was improper for a ranger to show her fear in front of the people she was supposed to protect, but it was even more improper for a professor to give a bad example to students.

"Miss Charlie is right. The people that came from Europe found the settlement completely empty, but the strange thing was that they found food cooking on the stove and people had seemingly vanished into thin air. It was a mystery that troubled archaeologists and historians to this day, but I think I got the answer."

Charlie kept her eyes shut and hugged herself in an attempt to stop shivering, but Luna was completely calm.

"Uhm, to what question?"

"No, but I have the feeling we'll meet her soon enough. For the time being, let's just head back and warn the city."

"I don't get it, warn them about what?" Charlie was as clueless as she was afraid.

"I just told you, that message wasn't meant for us but for the cryptids inside the dungeon."

"So you're saying..." Charlie still couldn't grasp how serious their situation was.

"There was a dungeon break and the city is in danger."

both Luna and Nika knew Uriel wouldn't joke with something as serious as that, but only Luna knew exactly what he meant.

She knew what would most likely happen to the city and she also knew who would be behind it, but knowing and being able to do something to prevent it were two different things.

The caravan began marching on their way to the west gate, but the exhausted miners were in no condition to rush their step. Uriel tried time and time again to contact Sam but even though his cellphone worked properly, there was no phone service and he couldn't reach him.

As the sun began to set, the worst possible scenario came to life as a group of people ambushed the caravan on the middle of the road. They were all dressed in either hunter armor or in army uniform and leading them, a single man stood tall with his hands on a long chain that went all the way to a crate.

"Long time no see, Urinal." Mark laughed. "I see you brought a gift for me."

"As if..." Uriel tried to speak but Mark wasn't interested on anything he had to say.

"I have a gift for you as well." Mark continued as he pulled on the chain and the pitiful figure of Cassandra, Heavenly Sword, came out of the crate wearing a spiked alloy collar on her neck.
