Part 4 (5)

Uncle Bibi saw an auberge and told his niece Suzie: "Let's find accommodation there for the evening!" while pointing in the direction with his right index finger.
They entered the place and found an aged lady who was delighted by their visit.
"Praise to our ancestors!" She exclaimed.
"I had almost lost hope to see any visitors here today since death and destruction have afflicted the village." The old woman explained the reason for her apparent contentment.
Uncle Bibi removed his fedora hat, slightly bowed his head to greet her, and responded: "Ma'am, we are enchanted that our coming into your home brings some sparks and hopefully trouble times will soon be cast out by the ancestors."
"May indeed the forefathers restore peace all over our empire!" The respectable lady
backed uncle Bibi's statement while binding the palms of her hands together.
"Now please let me know how I may assist you!" She then added.
"Thank you for caring! We need a room with two beds." Uncle Bibi told her.
"Fine. We have one that would fit you well for only three Batangi." The aged woman answered.
Uncle Bibi inserted his right hand in the right pocket of his dusty boubou and took out a five Batangi coin that he handed over to the Mistress of the auberge.
"Please Ma'am, take this and keep the change!" Uncle Bibi said to her.
The old lady collected the payment and was even more elated.
"Thank you very much! Shall the ancestors reward your kindness!" She declared.
Ahaaaaaaaa
Suzie yawned while rubbing her left eye with the back of her left hand.
"Sorry!" The young maiden excused herself, for she was extremely tired from her long day in the rescue operation.
"Please, don't be sorry darling! It's a bit late already." The aged runner of the auberge addressed Suzie.
The Mistress of the house unhung a key from the mural cupboard behind the reception bamboo desk and said to the visitors: "Follow me, dear guests!".
She led uncle Bibi and Suzie to room number three in the corridor at the left of the hall.
The old woman unlocked the door and it swung open. The room was unlit and a cold wind emerged from it.
Uncle Bibi and his niece Suzie felt an abnormal freshness in the summertime. The young maiden who had been drowsy on the way to the auberge was instantly awoken.
Her sleep immediately vanished and her eyes were now as clear as the water from the fountain of Ebuka, the god of purity.
Suzie glimpsed at her uncle and noticed he was aphonic and immobile like a statue. She tried to move but she could not. Her body was magically affixed on the ground.
Haha haha haha
The old lady who was nice at the beginning of the visit sarcastically laughed at the guests before changing her good-looking receptionist appearance into that of a very nasty wizard with three long and thick braids touching the ground.
"What's going on?" Suzie asked in fright.
Haha haha haha
"I am the servant of Edimo, the god of ruin." The lady wizard answered Suzie with a very intimidating voice.
"I am here to overturn the ancestors' favors upon Babida the lumberjack. And you, his companions, because you are always ready to help him in dire situations, I must neutralize you first."
"You and that damned woodsman keep thwarting my Lord's plan to rule alone over the Batang empire. So you must perish." revealed the servant of the god of destruction.
"The ancestors have schemed to confuse Emperor Batang V so he shall appoint in two days when the moon is at its fullest Babida the lumberjack as the new Commander in chief of the imperial forces to fight against my Lord's new creatures: the baby monster of the forbidden mountain and the terrifying bats." The lady wizard provided more explanation for her motives.
Suzie seized the ancestors' intention and was thrilled by it. However, she quickly toned down her excitement when she realized that Babida's elevation to the top of the imperial forces by the forefathers would coincide with the nomination of a new Governor by the Emperor.
Hence she interrogated the lady wizard: "Witch of evil, tell me! And how will the ancestors handle the designation of a new Governor?"
Haha haha haha
"The ancestors have also planned to confuse Emperor Batang V so he shall elevate Babida to the position of Governor shall the latter win the battles against my Lord's creatures. Nonetheless, Edimo, the god of ruin is always one step ahead." The lady wizard told a partly mummified Suzie then laughed out loud.
"Now it's time for you to sleep as well." The Witch of evil concluded her talk with the young miss.
With her mouth, the lady wizard blew a cold wind toward Suzie, and just like her uncle, she became voiceless and completely mummified.
The servant of the god of ruin thereafter pushed the mystically paralyzed bodies of her tricked guests inside room three and closed the door before throwing a spell of invincibility on the lock and evaporating for the kingdom of pain.
