The Curse of The Blarney Stone Part 2 : Inside The Castle

Aiden and Cara make their way to the entrance. Cara ignores the signs that read ‘This way to the Blarney Stone’ and trespasses into a roped off area. Aiden seems extremely muddled...

‘Isn’t the Blarney Stone there?’ asks Aiden pointing at the signs. ‘That’s a fake prop for tourists.’ says Cara rolling her eyes. ‘But you said the legend was real?’ asks Aiden chuckling now thinking that even Cara has realized that this whole thing is not real. ‘Oh no, the legend is definitely real, it’s just not that stone. The real Stone lies farther to the top of the castle.’ says Cara. As she completes her sentence she notices it, Aiden as well. 

A large piece of rock jutting out of the wall and along with it a sudden shift in the atmosphere. ‘Come on, help me up’ instructs Cara. Aiden does so helping Cara reach the surface just close enough to kiss it. ‘Alright, steady now, don’t move!’ commands Cara. Aiden stands there thinking what a waste of time this is. ‘Ah! yes I have done it!’ screams Cara with excitement. Cara asks Aiden to walk towards the wall to test whether the gift of gab actually works. Aiden does walk, unwillingly though. ‘Woah, it was a force, almost an energy that just convinced me to move forward, I have never felt that before!’ exclaims Aiden, truly mesmerized by the powers of the gift of gab.

 ‘Come on now, let’s hurry back to the car, don’t want the authorities being called, after all we are technically trespassing’ says Cara and starts walking away towards the car. But Aiden grew covetous. ‘If kissing the stone did that, then what would having a piece of the rock do?’ Aiden asks himself while attempting to yank out one of the smaller pieces of stone. He puts the piece in his pocket and rushes back to Cara. ‘All we need to do is cross the bridge and we are golden!’ claimed Cara while walking over the bridge. 

The bridge seems rickety. ‘Weird, the bridge didn’t seem so shaky before, did it?’. ‘No, I don’t know why it...’ as Aiden says this the wooden board under his feet breaks off. The whole bridge starts to fall apart. ‘WHAT IS HAPPENING?’. As Aiden falls down over the bridge the rock flies out of his pocket hitting Cara’s head. Cara, now bleeding, screams ‘Is that the Blarney Stone! you aren’t supposed to take the stone with you! the wrath of Goddess Clíodhna is upon us!’. 

Cara drops...

She plummets down the cliff. Aiden stares in utter shock. ‘What have I done?’ cries Aiden. He plunges down the cliff, meeting the same fate as Cara. Their deaths were reported to be an accident by the police but locals know better. 

Be aware of the Curse of The Blarney Stone...

From the consortium of personalities in the article, we see that many of the men listed here had broke

Charles Hitchens several years ago, had paid £700 to become the Under Marshal of London, the highest rank of law enforcement in London at the time. Charles needed a protégé and so he approached the increasingly popular fence, Jonathan Wilde to work under him as an extortionist and errand boy.  Jonathan continued to work for him but started realizing some of the major flaws of Charles criminal system. For instance, Charles when writing threatening letters, used to sign under his own name.

This is where Jonathan came in, he would be the acting Under Marshal, running Charles’s gang until he could make his marvelous return.  But as soon as Hitchen left, W
