DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter Eowyn's Gambit
-Grim Waste-
Eowyn, stirred from her slumber, drawn by the unmistakable sounds of footsteps and hushed murmurs resonating outside the cage.
With a deft and silent movement, Eowyn crept closer to the entrance. The dim light of early evening cast eerie shadows across the barren landscape as she strained to eavesdrop on the conversation of the approaching guards.
“Master Vernit asked us to go earlier to the mountain so we can prepare our ambush,” one of the guards spoke, his voice a low rumble.
“Don’t worry, I already alerted the people that will stay in the camp,” the second guard assured, his tone tinged with unease.
“Master instructed us to bring more artifacts,” the first guard continued, his voice fraught with the weight of responsibility. “We might also bring the magical barrier, but don’t worry, we’ll replace it with Etherweave Veil. Although it’s not as formidable as the Celestial Deflectafield, their structure is so much alike that the captives won’t notice it.”
The two guards, unaware of Eowyn’s presence, continued on their way with boisterous laughter, their voices carrying through the stillness of the Gram Waste. Their conversation echoed the sinister nature of their plan, but to them, it seemed like nothing more than a wicked game.
As Eowyn continued to lie in her hiding place, pretending to be asleep, her thoughts raced. She had heard enough to understand the gravity of the situation. With bated breath, she patiently awaited the right moment to take action. It was only a matter of time before she seized the opportunity to uncover more details and set her daring plan into motion.
