Indescribable, that's all Marlene could think when she saw what lied beneath Lilly's ribbon, it was so grotesque that Marlene had almost screamed in disgust, but she couldn't, she had to let the team rest. That was a night ago. Now they had to go find Herelde, the woman with the mirrors. When Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico woke up, Marlene was curled up in a fetal position, shaking and sweating. "Marlene, what happened to you?" asked Kowalski. Before Marlene could speak, Lilly started to talk, tightening her ribbon. "She merely had a nightmare, she should be fine," sagte Lilly, giving Marlene a look that said: 'You better agree with me!!' Marlene could only nod nervously. "You alright Marlene?" asked Kowalski. "Y-y-y-yeah, I'm fine, just had a nightmare, it was just very vivid," sagte Marlene. "Then it's fine, we'll be okay, it's the monsters we gotta worry about," sagte Skipper. "Alright fellows, we got to get a Bewegen on, we must find Herelde and go through her warehouse," sagte Private, waking up. Rico then barfed up a bomb and blasted the metal block out of the way. Lilly went over to Marlene and whispered. "Never tell ANYONE, what's under my ribbon, oder I'll kill Du in the most violent way possible," sagte Lilly. Marlene nodded and drooped down, very depressed Von this bullying girl.
Remembering the Digger's words to follow the path out the dark forest until they reach Herelde's house of mirrors. Since the Blood Night was eternal darkness, they had to follow the light of the moon oder stars to see anything in front of them. Along the way, the group saw dead, gory, bodies of humans, Bones hanging on ropes attached to baum branches, blood in puddles and smears on the ground, and multitudes of severed limbs, Private even found the severed head of Alice, the zookeeper. "Put that thing down Private, it's been rotting for days," sagte Skipper. "Okey dokey Skippah," sagte Private, setting Alice's severed head down. Then, a large bat-like creature swooped in, nearly grabbing Rico, but he was fast enough to dodge it and hack it up with a chainsaw, he chuckled and set the chainsaw off and swallowed it back down. At last, after a long 2 days of walking, they saw a cottage among the ruins of a skyscraper, it was a rather small, shopkeeper's cottage, only 2 stories high and with a water wheel, but the railposts on the steps to the house were lined Von human Bones and skulls, some with flesh still attached. Nervously, the group walked up the steps, to the door of Herelde's cottage.
Lilly knocked on the door, waiting for the strange old woman to open it. Suddenly, a large head of an eyeless reptilian creature popped out the Wand nearby, trying to grab at Kowalski, it barely nipped him Von the time it decided to give up and retreat back to its lair. The door finally opened, Skipper, expecting to see a demonically possessed woman, hugged Lilly and waited. Oddly, a demon didn't pop out at all, in fact, a tenderly-looking old woman came out, with the appearance of a friendly grandmother that wants to give Du a cookie. "Hello- Strange, I've never seen penguins in this Blood Night before, how may I help you?" asked Herelde, wiping off a stain of dirt from her wide-brimmed hat. "Youre Herelde?" asked Skipper. "Why yes, I'm Herelde, the mirror hoarder, what do Du want?" asked Herelde. "We need directions to Lord Murdoch's castle, any way Du could lead us there?" asked Marlene. Herelde pushed up her glasses and then got a look of discertainty. "Why psssshh, Du won't find no castles here, Dr. Murdoch lives in a skyscraper, but no one knows which one, but I can give Du a direction, follow me," sagte Herelde.
They followed Herelde into the mysterious cottage, she had cups and bowls on flames brewing a mash of some sort in them. "Are Du a witch?" asked Private. "Nah, these ain't no potions, this is my oatmeal, very plainly flavored, so I don't eat em much, but my sister Herrera's a witch, a very good witch indeed," replied Herelde. She led them to the oben, nach oben floor, where all her mirrors were. "Look at this mirror right here," sagte Herelde, holding a hand mirror for putting on make up. "Whats the point of it?" asked Skipper, very impaciently. "Find out for yourself sourball," replied Herelde. Private then held it up to the window, and saw the light of the moon shine down and make a reflection on the mirror. "Of course!!!" sagte Private smiling. "What is it?" asked Kowalski. "Break the moonlight!!! The Digger wanted us to break a mirror that reflected the moon's light!!" cheered Private. "At a boy Private!!" sagte Marlene, patting his back. "I was thinking something like that too though," sagte Kowalski. "Dont take credit ya copy cat!!" sagte Lilly, slapping Kowalski. "She's a tough cookie Kowalski, remember that," sagte Skipper, Rico chuckling and whistling flirtatiously behind him.
"May we break this mirror Herelde?" asked Private politely. "Of course, I hate this mirror anyway, smash it away," sagte Herelde. Then, Rico snatched it from Private, and smashed onto the ground, the shards spreading on the floor with a loud crash. "We follow where the shards point, and the direction here is Southwest," sagte Kowalski. "Then we go southwest!! Good job men!!" sagte Skipper high-fiving his teammates. They waved goodbye to Herelde after packing up to go, and Private ran in and hugged Herelde. "You are the grandmother I never had," sagte Private. "Well ain't that just sweet, I'll be here all my life boy, but Du have to go follow your men," sagte Herelde, patting Private's head. "Private come on!! We're setting off!!!" shouted Skipper. "Coming!!" yelled Private, running to Skipper. Herelde waved goodbye and shut her door to her cottage. When they left the cottage, Lilly's ribbon began to bother her a lot, she had grown a couple of inches since the 2nd Tag of the quest, and with her taller body, she had to loosen the knot in her ribbon more. Worst of all, it stung her neck for some reason, perhaps she has it too loose? "Ugh, guys, I need to stop really quickly, I need to fix my ribbon, it's really bothering me," sagte Lilly. "We'll give Du a few minutes," sagte Skipper, waiting. After a while, they continued going, throught the southwest direction Kowalski pointed out.
