The dwarves quickly raised their sharp daggers to hurl at him, and were innately talented at hunting down their targets with daggers, even if they were attacking big prey, but their prey raised his rhombus before them with amazing speed, as he enunciate a new third spell.
And from the rhombus, a wrap of energy spurted forth, which embraced everyone in that corridor, and Fossan was astonished, when everyone had rapidly diminished in size, the dwarves becoming shorter, and himself becoming a child, even the warlock himself.
The warlock who felt a burning thirst, but retaining the advantage made him confident of himself, as he is still in his awareness and memory, unlike everyone else, who were all fifteen years younger, so that one of the dwarves was fifteen years old and became a fetus in the open air on the earth, so he shouted at them as sternly as possible, despite his new childish tone:
- "Go away...Go away all...Go away, for the beast is coming to you on the way and will devour you all with delight."
Feeling genuinely terrified, they did not expect any monsters to be nearby, so they screamed and fumbled with their underdeveloped bodies, as they turned away.
He entered the princess's bed-chamber, and thirst almost killed him.
He leapt on the bed victorious and stabbed its owner with the sharp rhombus.

But Drups found no one, just a rag doll on the bed.
Behind him, he heard Arch say to Fossan with astonishment:
"Is that you, Fossan? You are drowning in your woollen clothes."
He turned quickly, but (Amed) surprised him with an arrow that pierced his left arm, and he stormed the place firmly, saying:
"Enough, you damned sorcerer, Arch. Pick up Fossan and get away."
Arche felt a little strange when he saw (Amed) shooting his arrow at the body of an innocent child, but what he saw from the transformation of (Fossan), convinced him that it was very dangerous, as well as the team of dwarves children he encountered escaping, and that ugly fetus, so he carried him and retreated, saying:
"Don't kill him before he gets (Fossan) back."
Drups asked Amed, who was aiming his bow at him:
- "Is Aynur here?"
(Amed) said sarcastically:
"I don't know why she was so afraid of you. I think you need a towel to wipe your ass with, Kid. Shall I ask the maids who you broke their noses to make you milk?"
And (Arch) said to him, while carrying Fossan on his shoulder:
"The Princess of Kandor and the Lady of the Ten Trees Hills were right. When a crab gets in trouble, it leaves its jammed leg and runs away, and a new one grows instead of the unfastened one. Aynur left the castle for you, and the ambush succeeded in catching you alive."
(Amid) said harshly:
- "Temporarily alive. Bring back Fossan, you bastard, before it is decided to execute you. Perhaps his return will reduce your sentence, so instead of burning to death, we will execute you with impale."
They were not aware of the complex magic system of tree magic, so they did not know that Basic-Rebound is temporary, not exceeding one day and that (Fossan) will return to its normal growth and real age tomorrow night, but (Drups) did not have time to maneuver this card, His childish arm was bleeding in horrible pain because of the arrow (Amid), and the effect of Basic-Rebound on him is unfortunately not temporary, so he asked to drink water because his throat was dry, before he began his spell that would restore Fossan.
When he drank heavily, his body suddenly swelled in front of their astonished eyes, regaining his true age, which was the only way to offset the effect of Basic-Rebound on him as he has prickled. Drank water. Before the effect of the surprise faded, he said to them sarcastically, "I will come back to her in another meeting to thank her, for she inspired me with this theory of the dislocated leg of cancer."
And he did what he said, so he let his pierced arm fall down, then bounced back through the balcony, (Amid) fired his arrow quickly at his back, ignoring the arm that fell, but this same arm erected on the bed with a life of its own and pressed it with the fingers of her palm, then it jumped In the air at the right moment, to receive the second arrow.
"Damn it!" (Arch) shouted. And (Amid) quickly caught the arm, fixed it with all his might, then cut it in half with the Rokoshta sword, and here her movement ceased utterly when all its blood shed.
He quickly stormed the balcony but did not find the slightest trace of the prickled warlock.
He looked at the walls, and down, but could not find the man, as if he had completely evaporated.
He only saw an old man walking below, taking care of gardening, and it seemed that he was the servant of the castle, so he asked him in roaring anger:
- "You, have you seen the fugitive killer? Have you ever seen anyone, you moron?"
The orange-skinned old man responded with difficulty, to the effect that he was distracted from this fast and violent world, and his inability to take good notes, and even not wanting to notice anything at all, (Omid) cursed him, and ordered the soldiers to lay siege around all (Ten Trees Hills), And combing the city and the castle inch by inch.
They found his urine pool in that treasury, and it smells like tar and discovered the disappearance of the palace map from the inner library, but they did not find him himself, as if it was just a dream or a nightmare.
Aynur returned under the protection of Farjoud and Kazan from the network of secret passages in which she was hiding in one of the ten hills, the same network through which she had fled with the attack of Emperor Behruz, and discovered the scale of the disaster caused by only one of the four killers. She asked, staring (at Fossan) the child with sadness, and teary eyes: "What if the rest of the killers united together? Which allies will I have to use to ward off this terrible danger?"
She looked at Wahara, then at the amputated arm that Drups had dropped on her bed. The Assassin's attack was initially successful, but her plan was the most successful, but his disappearance makes it more like a basic rebound.
