Roxy's POV
I couldn't believe it. A Shifter changed the terrain of a whole village? This was more bizarre than the hypnotic Shifter. Or were these people just blaming their unhygienic practices on Shifters?
"What makes you think we will believe that? The Shifter we were sent to slay is causing all this? Why should we believe it's the Shifters than you?" Cyrus asked. The villager seemed...nonchalant. Like he knew we'd question their village anyway.
"Come," was all he said. He rose on his staff, legs weak and bony but stable. He burst out of the poop laden house, walking on maggot infested streets in the heavy downpour.
"Come." He said once more over his shoulder. Well. Nothing to lose. So I followed him first. Akira, Gena and Cyrus joined later.
Holding the stinky, sticky torch each, we followed the man deep into the jungle. It was an eerie place. Eerie-er sounding, with all those stupid shoebills and roasty loons. Ugh...I wanted to have duck soup so badly.
