Chapter 12:

Witch hunter

Maki


Maki and Rina wanted to set out towards the village, but they were pretty tired, so they decided to stay in the old lady's rundown shack for one night. In the morning, they got ready and set off to find the village of witches. They knew passing the mountains would be hard. They walked for days and reached the mountain range, now the only obstacle on their way. Through the rugged terrain, they tried to find a way through the mountains. After a week of trying to find a way across the mountains, they finally found it. Still, they had to search for the village in the vast forest. *Meanwhile, in Maki's village*, a witch hunter appears and walks towards the village chief. "You seem to have found a witch in this village. Where is that witch?" "The witch escaped our hands," replied the chief. "So, is the mother of that witch somewhere in the village?" "The mother escaped after her kid ran away," said the chief. "At least,mr chief do you  know how the witch looks?" "Yes, she is blond and has green eyes, and she is 13," said the chief. "Oh, the witch is 13. That's the youngest witch I ever heard of, but I guess age doesn't matter. If she is a witch, she must have committed a serious crime in her past life. Mr. Chief, can you show me the witch's house?" "Yes, I sure can," replied the chief and walked towards Maki's house wich "heres the house of the witch" "ok good" the witch hunter kicked the door and entered the house "lets check the belongings of the Witch if my dog smells im sure i can track the witch. *back to the forest* Maki and Rina, unaware of the witch hunter's arrival in their village, they continued their journey through the forest in search of the village of witches. They navigated through dense foliage and avoided dangerous animals. Eventually, they come across a clearing and spot a small village in the distance. "They thought this was the village of witches, but as they got closer, they realized it was just a normal village. There appeared to be only two people living there, but as they got closer, they discovered that they were gnomes. The gnomes were standing on stools and hanging clothes. Maki and Rina approached the gnomes and greeted them. Maki asked, "Why are two gnomes living in this vast forest?" The bigger gnome, with a sad look on his face, replied, "My little brother and I are outcasts from the gnome village in the east, beyond the mountains." Maki and Rina felt sympathy for the gnomes as they were also outcasts from Maki's village since the villagers found out that Maki was a witch. "Why were you cast out from the village?" asked Maki and Rina. "We looked different from other gnomes. We were much taller, and the villagers were scared of us.Even our father abandoned us," replied the big brother, trying not to cry. Maki was about to cry as well, feeling sad and emotional. But gnome said with determination  "I won't cry. I've already cried enough and made my little brother sad. I need to find a way to make him smile again," she said. Maki and Rina felt a strong bond with the gnomes because of their own experiences of being outcasts, they decided to help. "We have an idea," said Maki. "Why don't we help you find a new home in the village of witches?" The gnomes were doubtful at first, but after Maki and Rina calmed them, they started smiling with hope. "Look, little brother, I told you someone would come to rescue us," said the big brother. "Should we go now or tomorrow?" asked the gnomes. "Let's go now," they said at the same time with a smile. They packed their bags and set off with Maki and Rina towards the village of witches.
