Their story continues…

After the lovemaking

Karen and Griffin lay there, gazing up at the stars, their bodies still humming with the intense energy that had flowed between them. As they caught their breath, a sense of wonder washed over them.

Karen shifted in Griffin’s embrace and turned her head to look at him, her eyes searching his face. “What do you think it would be like to feel this way forever?” she asked, breaking the peaceful silence that had settled over them.

Griffin turned to look at her, his eyes shining with a mix of emotions. “I don’t know,” he said softly. “It’s hard to imagine, isn’t it?”

Karen nodded, her fingers tracing lazy patterns across his chest. “Yeah. But imagine never having to worry about aging or illness. We could explore the world together, experience everything it has to offer, and never have to worry about time running out. Not to mention our lovemaking—would we ever grow tired of living a life like that?”

Griffin propped himself up on one elbow to look down at her, a soft smile spreading across his face. “I can’t deny that it sounds incredible, Karen. But we still have no idea what any of this means. What does it mean to live forever? What about our families? Would we even be able to have children? I guess I still have mixed feelings about it.”

Karen sighed and leaned into him, resting her head on his chest. “I know. It’s just that this feeling is so intense, so amazing. It’s hard to imagine ever wanting to let it go.”

Griffin stroked her hair and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I understand, Karen. And I’m here with you, no matter what. Whatever the future holds, we’ll face it together.”

Karen turned to him, a smile spreading across her face. “That’s the most wonderful thing anyone’s ever said to me,” she said, leaning in to kiss him.

As they kissed, they both knew that their lives would never be the same again. They had been transformed, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. And though they couldn’t predict what the future held, they knew they would face it together, their love only growing stronger with each passing moment.

Snap back to reality

The morning sun slowly washed over the city, waking Griffin from his deep slumber. As he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of Karen, still fast asleep beside him. They had only managed to get as far as the carpet in their living room from the balcony the night before.

He couldn’t help but smile as he watched her breathe, her chest rising and falling rhythmically. Reluctant to wake her from what seemed to be an enjoyable dream, he wished he could translate her deep sighs and soft moans.

Griffin sat there for a moment, unable to shake the memories of last night’s passion with Karen. The realization hit him that it had been one of the most incredible experiences of his life. Every time he closed his eyes, he could feel the weight of her body against his, the way she responded to his touch, the taste of her skin on his lips. It was as if they had transcended to another plane of existence, where time didn’t exist, and their only purpose was to explore the depths of each other’s souls.

As he finally made his way up, gently extricating himself from Karen’s embrace, and sat at his desk, the world around him seemed dull in comparison to the vibrant, sensual fusion he had experienced with Karen just hours before.

But now, as the reality of their situation began to sink further in, he knew they couldn’t stay lost in their own world forever. They had to figure out how to break free from this nightmare and out of the clutches of this mysterious cult.

He had been doing some research the night before, prior to their ardent entanglement. He knew they needed to delve deeper if they were going to find any answers. They knew absolutely nothing about this secret society. There had to be something out there to help them fight back before their time ran out.

As he started to sift through the information he had gathered, Karen stirred behind him, sitting up and rubbing the sleep from her eyes. As her vision finally cleared and brought the room into focus, she could see Griffin sitting shirtless at his desk, typing away. She paused for a moment, a wide smile sweeping across her face as she noticed the scratches she left on his back.

“What are you looking at, Griffin?” she asked, sluggishly getting to her feet.

“I’m trying to find any information I can on this group to end this nightmare so that we can get back to our lives,” Griffin said, scrolling through a list of search results. “But so far, I haven’t found anything concrete. It’s like they don’t even exist. How can we fight something we can’t even see?”

Karen nodded, her brow furrowed in concern. “I don’t know, but we have to keep looking. I’ll grab the other laptop and begin searching with you. There has to be something we’re missing,” she said, feeling a wave of anxious frustration rising within her.

Just as Griffin was about to give up hope, he came across a name that made his heart skip a beat. It was a blog post written by a man who claimed to have had a similar experience to theirs, decades ago.

As Griffin read through the blog post, his eyes widened in shock and amazement. The man described encountering a secret cult dedicated to the dark arts that had been secretly working in the background for centuries as part of a greater whole that ruled the world.

According to the post, the cult possessed a powerful grimoire that contained a secret that could be used to defeat them. In his last entry, the man said that he and his fiance managed to steal the grimoire and buried it near the Ecolodge South West of Cassowary Park. The post went on to say that they were finally able to determine that the language the book was written in was Dhurba, and they needed to find someone to help them translate it.

The end of the post was very cryptic and ominous. His last post said if anything happened to them, someone would have to find the grimoire and defeat them. The key to finding the directions to where the Grimoire is buried is in his and his fiance’s favorite song ‘I Won’t Spend Another Night Alone’ by the Ataris, along with this clue:

“We started at the beginning, now I won’t spend another night alone, and the key is here in the direction we will build our home”

Griffin’s mind raced with possibilities. Could this be the key to defeating the cult and freeing themselves from their grasp? He read through the post again, trying to figure out the clue to where the grimoire might be buried located.

As Karen leaned over his shoulder to read the post, her eyes widened in excitement. “This could be it! This could be the answer we’ve been looking for!” she exclaimed.

Griffin nodded, his mind already working on a plan. “We need to find this grimoire. It’s our only hope. We’ll start by finding and listening to that song to figure out how this guy was thinking.”

Karen nodded, determination etched on her face. “Let’s get to work then. You listen to that song and I will find the ecolodges near Cassowary Park. We have a lot of ground to cover in god knows how much time, but we can do this. We can defeat this cult and put an end to their reign of terror. We have to.”

With that, they both set to work, pouring over every scrap of information they could find, determined to find the grimoire and the secret it held. They knew that time was running out, but they were willing to do whatever it took to save themselves and anyone else who might fall victim to the cult’s dark power.

Back Down Under

The minutes went by like seconds, and Griffin and Karen still had no answers. They both knew that they would need some help to have a fitting chance of finding the Grimoire and decoding it.

Griffin took a deep breath and reached for his phone. He knew there was only one person he could trust to help with such a serious situation – his friend Bruce.

“Hey, Bruce. It’s Griffin,” he said, as soon as his friend picked up the phone. “I bet you weren’t expecting to hear from me so soon.”

“Griffin, mate! don’t tell me you two miss me already. What’s happening?” Bruce said, with his typical Aussie enthusiasm.

“Well, you’re not going to believe this, but Karen and I are grabbing the next flight back to Cairns, and we may need your help again, my friend.” Griffin said, his voice tinged with a mixture of anger and fear.

“By the sound of your voice, this must be serious. What do you need me to do?” Bruce said, his voice strong with Empathy.

“We need your help finding a grimoire that could put an end to the group that kidnapped us.” Griffin explained.

“A grimoire? What’s that?” Bruce asked, sounding puzzled.

“It’s a book of spells and incantations. This group is a lot more sinister than we imagine, and we think that this book might contain the key to defeating them. We don’t know where to start looking for it yet, though,” Griffin said, his mind racing with a thousand questions “And we’ll also need a translator that speaks Dhurba. Would you happen to know anyone?”

“Not off the top of my head, mate. But you know you can always count on me. I’ll start digging around and see if I can find any leads for you. I’ll be here waiting for you with some answers when you land.” Bruce said reassuringly.

“You’re the man, Bruce. Once we land, I’ll get you all caught up on everything we’ve found so far.”

“Alright, mate. I’ll be ready for you. Stay safe, okay?” Bruce said, his Aussie accent filled with concern.

“Thanks, Bruce. We will.” Griffin said, ending the call with a sigh. What was to come would be far from easy, but at least they had someone on their side now that they could count on.

Just then, Karen burst into the room, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “Griffin, I think I found it!” she exclaimed, waving her phone in the air.

Griffin jumped up from the desk where he had been sitting and “Found what?”

“Three possible ecolodge locations southwest of Cassowary Park that the couple in the blog might have stayed at,” Karen said, handing Griffin her phone. “I did some digging and found a couple of travel blogs that mention these places. They’re all South-west of Cassowary Park, off the beaten track secluded locations that they would have felt safe in.

Griffin’s eyes scanned through the blogs quickly, his face quickly giving birth to a big grin. ” Holy shit! I think this is it Karen. You’re a genius!” he exclaimed, grabbing her by the hip and lassoing her into a deep kiss. “I’ll give you the rest of that when we get back”

“Get dressed, we’re leaving now. I just spoke to Bruce and he’s agreed to help us. He’s asking around to see if he can find us someone who speaks Dhurba. All we have to do now is figure out where to look, and hopefully, we can do that over this flight.”

Griffin and Karen stepped off the plane at Cairns Airport, their eyes scanning the crowds for their friend Bruce. As they made their way towards baggage claim, they spotted him standing near the exit, grinning from ear to ear.

“Bruce!” Griffin called out, as they approached him. “It’s good to see you, mate.”

Bruce wrapped his arms around both of them, pulling them into a tight embrace. “It’s good to see you too, Griff. And you too, Karen. How are you guys holding up?”

“We’re hanging in there,” Karen said with a tired smile. “But we’re grateful for your help.”

Bruce nodded, his eyes twinkling mischievously. “Speaking of which, look who it is.”

Griffin’s face lit up with recognition”Jack! How the hell are you?”

Jack grinned, hugging Griffin. “I’m good, mate. It’s been too long. I haven’t seen you in days.” Jack said jokingly. “And Karen, it’s good to see you. You two look great!”

“Thank you Jack! So what are you doing here anyway? Karen said curiously.

“Well, Bruce said you two were looking around for someone who can speak Dhurba. It sounds like you two are looking for good old Jack again.” Jack Said, making his case humbly. “I’m one of only a few people in the world who still speaks Dhurba, so you two got a bit lucky.”

“You’re just full of surprises, aren’t you Jack.” Karen said, with a bit of admiration in her voice.

“What can I say? I’m a man of many talents.” Jack replied, grinning back at the two.

“You sure are, my friend” Griffin chimed in, acknowledging Jack’s many talents with a nod and a smile.

With their team assembled, Griffin and Karen felt a renewed sense of hope in their quest to find the grimoire and defeat the sinister cult. But as they set off to unravel the cryptic clues left behind in the blog post, little did they know that their journey would lead them down a treacherous path filled with unimaginable dangers and shocking revelations.

The clock was ticking, and the fate of not only their lives but countless others hung in the balance. Would they be able to decipher the clues, locate the grimoire, and unlock its ancient secrets before it was too late? The adventure was about to take a thrilling and terrifying turn, and Griffin and Karen would need all their wits, courage, and the unwavering support of their friends to survive the trials that lay ahead.
