last update Last Updated: 2020-11-03 22:34:36

Eldion did not get to sleep well that night. The events of the previous day were very much in his mind and he was quite troubled with everything that he had experienced. Earlier in the day, they were taken to the outlaw’s den in blindfolds and the tortuous way that their captors led them through had made him nauseous. Then, he found himself inside a dark cavern, captured by someone who turned out to be Casser’s friend. The tunnels and caverns were likewise dizzying with its twists and turns and the lack of daylight made it even more confusing. 

Afterwards, he experienced something that he believed to be a true memory from his forgotten past when he drank that green ant tea from Remuel. He remembered the four circular points of light above his head and the white figure that detached itself from the haze. He tried to reach out and touch the figure, but it seemed as if he was touching smoke. Eldion wanted to cry out to the figure, to call its name, but the haze

    Casser stopped snoring and opened an eye, looking around the sleeping cavern for anyone who might have stayed behind. Finding no one, he rose from his bed and stretched his arms, all the while on the lookout if he missed anyone who could still be there in the room with him. Satisfied that he was alone, Casser reached under his shirt and brought out a small bunch of brown feathers. He picked one and returned the others from where he got them. He smoothened the brown feather and even blew at it.“Is it possible?” Casser asked no one. Then, he approached a torch at the wall while gently brushing his chest with the feather. Upon reaching the torch, he raised the feather and placed it near the flame. He waited a while and then saw a change in the brown feather.“I never could have guessed!” said Casser as he looked at the feather in his hand. Heated by the flame, the feather started to have a fluorescent quality that was even more pronounced at the t

    Eldion saw the two outlaws race from where Wen was standing and towards the direction of the mess hall. In a moment, the outlaws disappeared as they made a turn in the tunnel not far from where Eldion was hiding. When he returned his gaze to Wen, he saw that Wen was waving to him and he immediately left his hiding to place to join her by the door.“Those two were like racehorses trying to see who can get away first. How did you manage to do that?” Eldion asked Wen, admiring his companion’s skills of persuasion.“I don’t want to talk about it,” said Wen dismissively as she listened to her sister laughing. Then, she went close to the door and looked inside the cell through the opening. In the dim light, she saw Lankko sitting on the floor near the fireplace. There was purplish light that seemed to come from the pot that was hanging above the fire.“Pssst… Lankko!” Wen called to the Keeper.Lankko jerked

    Casser walked from the sleeping cavern noiselessly. He slipped through the darkness and avoided colliding with the few outlaws that were still walking in the tunnels. Soon, Casser saw his destination and saw the guard standing in front of the locked door. It was the small cavern where Remuel stored his loot of magical artifacts. As Casser got near, he tiptoed until he was standing directly in front of the guard. Then, Casser raised his hand and waved it in front of the guard’s face. The guard seemed not to see Casser waving his hand and just ignored him, merely turning to one side. Casser spun around like a dancer and was standing at the guard’s left side in a moment. Then, Casser knelt and looked at the guard’s belt where there hung a set of keys.Casser got hold of the key ring and was about to unhook it from the guard’s belt when a group of outlaws appeared and called the guard’s attention. The guard moved suddenly and Casser had to let

    “How did you get that soot on you?” Remuel asked Casser. Then, Remuel raised an eyebrow and looked at the tunnel behind Casser. “Did you just come from the coal storage?” he asked.Casser wiped his face and looked at the soot on his hands. He looked at the tunnels behind him as well. “Yes,” Casser said after a short pause. “I haven’t had the chance to wash.”“I don’t see why Sela would put you to this kind of work,” Remuel said and came close to Casser to pat some of the soot off the merchant’s shoulder. “Come with me, my friend. Let me get you to the mess hall where you can wash a bit before we get some breakfast.”The two men walked together towards the mess hall, leaving the guard standing in front of the storeroom. He looked at the retreating figure of Casser suspiciously before taking a step forward where she saw Casser suddenly materialize before his eyes.Remu

    Wen and Eldion watched Enzir drain the magic elixir from the vial. Then, Wen took the vial away while Eldion lay Enzir’s head gently back on the mat. After a moment, they saw Enzir touch his arm and drew his knees upward as if he felt cold. He made a sudden jerking movement before convulsing on the mat before Wen and Eldion.Eldion stared at the twitching body of Enzir while Wen felt nervous at the possible deleterious effect of the elixir on Enzir. She remembered Lankko collapsing to the floor after drinking the elixir but eventually getting up on his feet. Wen hoped that she had done the right thing and that Enzir would be better. However, the involuntary movements of Enzir’s body had made Wen feel uneasy as to the correctness of her actions.As Enzir’s movements became more and more violent, Wen touched Enzir’s arm in an effort to steady him and prevent any more possible injuries. She had to remove her hands abruptly when she felt Enzir&rsquo

    The outlaw standing guard at the entrance to the cavern turned towards Eldion and Wen and started craning his neck. He seemed to be starting to get suspicious at what Wen and Eldion were doing.“I think you’ll have to lie down,” said Wen. “The guard is getting suspicious.”“Sorry,” Enzir said as he lay flat on his back. “What I meant to say earlier is thank you for saving my life and your secret will be safe with me as with Lankko.”Wen nodded and stole another glance at the guard who seemed to have lost interest in what they were doing.“He’ll have to cover up. They’ll see that his wounds have healed,” Mira said suddenly, and Wen thought that it made sense.“I’ll have to cover you with a blanket,” Wen told Enzir and pulled a blanket over Enzir. “They might discover that your wounds have healed,” she explained.Enzir let Wen cover him

    Eldion was filled with hope with what he had just heard although he also felt dread. As much as he wanted to know who he was, he also dreaded finding out the truth about himself. Without knowledge of his past, he did not really know if it was something that he really wanted. Perhaps it was really a good thing not to know the past and have his slate clean. A fresh start.“I will tell Lankko to create an elixir for you,” said Enzir, looking at Eldion.Wen also looked at Eldion and noticed that he did not seem too excited with what he had just heard. “You don’t seem too keen about the idea, Eldion,” said Wen. “What is it? What is bothering you?”“I know I should be excited to have my memories restored. I wanted to know who I am, but now

    Remuel looked at the vial of magic elixir that Lankko handed to him. It seemed like a small bottle of turbid water at first glance, but when he looked at the vial against the light, he saw the slight purplish glow and assumed that to be the hallmark of the magic liquid.“Just one vial for the disguise stone?” asked Remuel. “I was expecting a lot more.” He then looked suspiciously at Lankko.“Disguise stones are quite complex artifacts, created by fire and water magic. Very difficult to extract,” replied Lankko, shaking his head slowly.Remuel looked at the clay pot at the fireplace. The fire had been put out, but Remuel could tell that Lankko had used a lot of firewood based on the smaller pile left near the wall. Remuel scoffed. “You used a lot of firewood. Didn’t you just boil away the elixir?”Lankko coughed. “Extracting the power of the disguise stone is not as easy as boiling water. I was ab

    The director placed the back of his hand over his forehead and closed his eyes. He seemed that he was going to faint, but he quickly dropped his hand after a moment and stared at the scene before him. The star dancer was able to sit on the floor, but she was still crying and holding on to her ankle while the other dancers crowded over her. The singer was kneeling before the dancer with his hands clasped tightly together as if praying that everything would be alright.“Do you think you can dance tomorrow?” the director asked the dancer.The dancer tried to stand up with the help of her fellow dancers, but when she tried putting some weight on her injured leg, she gasped and fell on a heap. The dancers gasped and crowded over the injured dancer.“Obviously, not!” said the director. “Quickly get her to the healer and pray that her injuries would heal soon.” Then, to himself, “Or pray that you’d dance at least half as

    It was early afternoon when the three men arrived in the center of Dagos. Gent held the reins up and the horses pulling the carriage stopped by the entrance of an imposing wooden building. The door of the carriage opened and a servant garbed in the green garments of local peasants came out. He bowed low while keeping the carriage door open for his master. After a few moments, a man in bright red and purple clothes descended from the carriage.Lankko appeared regal in his red shirt and crown of glorious blonde hair. The heavy gold chains around his neck as well as the sparkling jewels on his fingers completed his attire. He played the part of a wealthy merchant quite well and walked with his chin high, barely looking at the ground. At first, he made a slight tumble upon stubbing his foot on a protruding rock, but Enzir and Gent were quick to steady him.“Thank you,” said Lankko to his servants as he recovered his elegant pose. Then, he wiggled his arms to re

    There was a coded knock on the door and Lankko peeked through a hidden peep hole before removing the latch. Lankko insisted on the additional precaution, knowing that it would be very dangerous for his master as well as himself should they be discovered by the Imperial soldiers hiding in the cabin.Lankko saw that it was Gent standing at the door and he was holding several woven baskets. He appeared to be alone. Lankko opened the door to let his cousin in and immediately closed it behind him.“Are you sure no one followed you,” asked Lankko as the metal latches clicked, effectively locking the door. Then, Lankko slipped a thick wooden bar across the door.Gent nodded at Lankko. He then walked towards the kitchen where he placed the woven baskets on the table. Then, he methodically removed the contents of the baskets one-by-one, revealing them to be different food items for Lankko and Enzir. Lankko followed his cousin to the kitchen and helped h

    Enzir remembered the Imperial soldiers whom they fought at Remuel’s den. Those he hit with his energy bolts collapsed to the ground and turned into dust as smoke rose to the air. He also remembered how those whom he thought to have been stunned and lay unconscious would suddenly stand up when an Imperial officer held up a glowing necklace in his hand.Enzir was filled with concern as he realized the forces that he would be up to if he joined the resistance to topple down Terdu’s regime. “What can we do then, Lankko?”“I have to admit that I don’t know, Jad Enzir. Terdu has become too powerful that I don’t even know if it is too late to resist him,” answered Lankko.“You mentioned that the people could rise against him. Why don’t they?” asked Enzir.“As I said, Jad Enzir, people are afraid. They need a leader to rally them into action like Rodan did during the time of Sukram, however&n

    “If those healing stones really do work, I think it’s bad that there aren’t many of them left,” remarked Enzir.Lankko nodded. “I don’t know if you still remember, Jad Enzir, but we used to have a lot of sun stones at the fortress. You place them under the sun during the day and they will shine at night when activated, replacing the need to burn candles or oil.” Lankko’s face brightened as he remembered how it was when the use of magical artifacts was ubiquitous.“I remember that. I had a lot of those in my bedroom,” said Enzir.“When Terdu banned the practice of magic, I think we lost a lot of our simple joys and freedoms,” said Lankko, hanging his head.“Why did he ban magic in the first place, Lankko?” asked Enzir.“You really don’t know, Jad Enzir?” asked Lankko, scratching his bald head. “I thought your teachers in magic history covered

    After serving breakfast and washing the dishes, Lankko decided to go to work in extracting energy from an old healing stone that he was able to get his hands on. It was an old magical artifact that he got from his cousin who also managed to get it from an old friend. According to Gent, the stone worked by rubbing it vigorously between the user’s palms and placed over the painful area. The stone would produce enough heat to warm the area it was applied on and helped in the healing process. Lankko that there was not enough energy in the healing stone to extract but still went on the laborious process of finding out how it worked and develop a method for extracting its power. After several tries, Lankko was finally able to discover that the stone drew energy from the sun and placed it outside. He then directed several mirrors towards it before dropping the stone inside a glass vessel filled with a mixture of salts and minerals. Only then did the stone start to create bubbles that

    The following morning, Enzir woke up early with the sound of Kora’s nervous clucking. He looked out his window and found that the chicken was not without company. A rooster was walking around her excitedly and after flapping his wings, gave out a loud crow that could have woken even the heavy sleeper. Enzir smiled as he saw the two chickens eyeing each other and flapping their wings in some form of dance. Slowly, Enzir lowered his window to give the chickens some privacy.There was the sizzling sound of frying along with the delicious smell of garlic being fried. Enzir stretched out his arms and then got out of bed to see what Lankko was cooking. He walked to the kitchen and saw Lankko busily adding ingredients on a frying pan where there was already a steaming pile of rice.“Good morning, Jad Enzir!” said Lankko to his master after giving him a quick glance. “Did you sleep alright?”“Slept like a log,” replied Enzir. “W

    Dinner with Lankko’s family was a rowdy affair, but Enzir did not mind. After all the chaos and not being able to eat at a proper table in the past few weeks, he realized that dining with other people on plentiful was really a luxury. He remembered the many times that he did not even recognize the efforts of his own cook who feisty as she was still made the most wonderful dishes that he had ever tasted. Lankko and Darla tried to control their children, especially the little ones who kept on arguing while trying to outdo each other in telling stories of their journey to Dagos. The children really do miss their father, thought Enzir. He had not really thought of Lankko’s family and failed to recognize that his Keeper of Secrets did have his personal life outside his work. Enzir did make Lankko work a lot, especially after he discovered that he could extract energy from the magic artifacts to make an elixir capable of infusing power to whoever drinks it. He had Lankko

    “What are you saying, Lankko?” asked Enzir, his voice rising as he felt his blood rushing through his veins. “What do you mean my mother may still be alive?”Lankko suddenly felt warm. He felt sweat forming on his forehead and he wiped it off with his hand. He could not look at Enzir whose eyes seemed to drill into his own. “I have to apologize, Jad Enzir. Your father forbade everyone to speak to you about your mother and I had to obey his orders.”Enzir felt weak. He wanted to shout at Lankko and destroy everything he could have his hands on, but there was nothing to break, nothing to smash against the walls.“Aaahh!” cried Enzir. He finally managed to pick up a rock and threw it hard towards the lake. He felt his breathing quicken and he stood on the slope watching the rock he threw fly through the air and landing on the water.“Please, Jad Enzir,” pleaded Lankko. “Please don’t be angry wit
