Stuck in an Island with Twelve Beautiful Women-Chapter 423 - 425

Arriving at the village square, Jude and Sara were met with the sight of flickering lanterns and the distant murmur of voices. The villagers, unaware of the dark forces that loomed on their doorstep, went about their nightly routines.

"We'll start with the village elder," Sara suggested, her eyes fixed on a modest cottage at the edge of the square. "He's wise and well-respected. Perhaps he can offer guidance."

Together, they approached the elder's cottage, their footsteps echoing on the cobblestone path. Jude rapped gently on the weathered door, his heart pounding with anticipation.

After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing a stooped figure with kind eyes and a weathered face. "Good evening, travelers," the elder greeted, his voice warm with hospitality. "What brings you here at this late hour?"

Sara stepped forward, her voice steady. "We seek your counsel, elder," she explained, her eyes earnest. "We have encountered dark magic, and we fear that an ancient witch is pursuing us."

The elder's brow furrowed in concern. "Dark magic, you say?" he murmured, his eyes narrowing with contemplation. "Come inside, and tell me more."

Jude and Sara entered the cottage, their hearts heavy with the weight of their tale. They recounted their encounter with Elysia, the cursed house, the trapping ritual, and the witch's sinister return.

The elder listened intently, his expression grave. "Elysia was just a mischievous girl. But one day she went missing. After that some people started to say they saw Elysia in the woods. They said she looked the same by face but her body looked like a woman. Not just that she's wearing black clothes and holding a staff like a witch. There was a rumor about a witch in the forest but no one cared much because she was not a threat as long as we didn't interfere with her. If she's the one possessed Elysia, then she is a formidable foe, we have to be extra careful." he admitted, his voice tinged with caution. "But you have shown courage in seeking aid. Together, we may stand a chance against her."

With the elder's guidance, Jude and Sara began to formulate a plan, a strategy to confront Elysia and thwart her dark machinations. They sought out allies among the villagers, rallying support for the impending battle against the witch.

Days turned into nights as preparations were made, alliances forged, and defenses strengthened. Jude and Sara trained tirelessly, honing their skills and preparing for the inevitable showdown with Elysia.

And as the fateful night approached, the village stood united against the encroaching darkness, their spirits unyielding in the face of adversity.

Under the watchful gaze of the moonlit sky, Jude and Sara stood shoulder to shoulder, their hearts filled with determination and hope. For they knew that together, they would face Elysia and emerge victorious, defeating not only the witch, but the shadows that threatened to consume their world.

As they awaited the final confrontation, their bond grew stronger, their resolve unshakeable. For in the crucible of adversity, they had discovered the true strength of their unity, a beacon of light in the encroaching darkness. And as dawn broke on the horizon, heralding the eve of battle, Jude and Sara stood ready to confront their destiny and vanquish the witch that haunted their dreams.
