C.o.D- DAY 7+: What now?
Day 7
“If I am not going to find the treasure, then I will at least be the last man standing! I will kill you all if I have to. Nobody will stand in my way.”
So spoke kiam, his determination painted with a rough brush on his face.
He spread out his hands and waved them frantically.
“I’ll tell you this! “shouted kiam. “ I’d rather die than see the treasure in someone else’s hands!! Oh shit, did I just say this..?”
Expression twitched as the men looking at him made up their minds like a row of dominoes falling over. Could it be that there were some things on which even they were united?

RAzzy was walking down the hallway, thinking about the last events, when a feeling struck him just like DEATH would strike the last life of a cat.
It was a feeling…a feeling deep inside. A feeling that he could not control..
Under other circumstaces, he would have mistaken it for love but he knew better.
He was hungry.
Very hungry.
He gave a sigh of long- suffering patience and decided to head to the kitchen. He grabbed a sandwich with cherry marmelade and grinned.
And then he froze.
He wasn’t alone. He could feel the fear unkindly wrapping around him like a cold blanket on a winter day. No comfort there. He took a few hesitant steps towards the…..
He made up his mind. He didn’t want to see what or who was there. He, probably like many others that had survived until, probably descended from people who learned that looking too hard at something that doesn’t want you to know that it is there, could be quite unpleasant.
Not looking at these sort people/things/etcetera had become hereditary.
But a pack of curiosity took control.
He leaned forward and saw……..
And then ran for it. Clenching the sandwich in his hands.

A couple of hours later, Kiam was opening the armory doors. It was clear that somebody had been there some time earlier. It was a disaster. It was as though some ..creature had come and started pushing everything aside, making chaos in some sort of fascinating way.
And it all led to a statue. In the middle of the room.
And of course kiam went to investigate. It would have been bad manners not to.
He took some steps closer to the big statue. Looked close. And closer. And closer.
And then he found it. A little crack. He took a hold of a knife andmanaged to make a bigger crack, opening the statue . There was the terrible creature inside it.
No terrible creature. RAzzy’s body fell on the cold floor.
Kiam: “What the fu…?”
Silence.
“What happened to you man?”
RAzzy: “It was horrible……
I….found a secret door on the back of the statue. I Wanted to….hide… They wanted to…..they wanted to….I wanted to…It’s an egg. An egg….””
Kiam: “What? Who? Who was it??”
RAzzy: “The ….p….p…..pen..” and that was his last breath.

A darkness fell over the castle grounds, Henchy arrived, bringing fresh impressions from the guard room.
“So Henchy. What do you think? Any raid going on?” darkus demanded.
….
“Dunno. I was busy with the other guard.”
Silence.
“Are you gay?”
“ Noupz. It’s a new chick. Gotta love her attitude, though.”
“ So what about the raid?”
“ Hmm…nothing I guess. But there’ll be one pretty soon. A rebellion of the servants actually. They want better salaries.”
“Bitches.”
