Snippet #2721950

As Tzaitel was about to go home, a hysterical woman came running into the village plaza. "My Lisel went missing! I was tending to my garden with my daughter when she suddenly disappeared! In one moment, I was talking to her and then I only turned away for a couple seconds and she was gone! If she had gone somewhere, she normally would have said something!" The woman said. Tzaitel and the Rebbe were shocked. A child went missing in broad daylight. Usually they went missing around sunset.

"Call our best men and women together. We need to establish a search party and best a group that will look into what happened with the other children." The Rebbe said. "Tzaitel, I want you to be part of the group. You are one of the people who knows the enchanted forest well and can survive it. One of the loggers should also be part of the group. Let the rest of the village know that we are looking for volunteers."

The men dispersed. "My grandmother can help too. She lives in the forest and knows it well since she formerly was a you know..." Tzaitel said. The Rebbe then said quietly: "A witch?" "Yes. Luckily she isnt one anymore." Tzaitel said. "But I should be able to best many of the men in terms of strength though and can watch the others backs." The Rebbe then giggled: "I can believe that, seeing you carry a buck on your back all the way down from the forest when you were 18 was quite the surprise. Meanwhile I bet you can rip the head off of a witch or a goblin." "I have in fact actually torn a hostile goblins head off before." Tzaitel said.

The Rebbe took a step back. "Oh my. That is somehow terrifying and disturbing. Well anyways let us wait for the others. They should be in good hands."
