Drups released the energy envelope from the sharp rhombus he was carrying, so the genie was unable to move at the appropriate speed, despite the famous jinn's extraordinary speeds on land and sea.
The basic-rebound reduced both of them by 15 years.
But the surprise was for warlock.
He had become a little boy, while the genie remained the same.
Drups looked at the rhombus in astonishment.
He is sure that the rebound has been completed, and he is now already young, and he is mortally thirsty as well, So all the signs of the basic-rebound occurred, why didn't the genie get smaller? he thought anxiously
Solaik, who lost his memory, said:
- "What's going on? And where's my horse?"
Delgis whispered in the warlock's mind:
"Hurry, there are only cattle sheds and a dogs' lair, the princess must be in one of two places."
Drups said in a hoarse voice:
- "I don't know. I'm very thirsty. I'm leaving."
But the genie stopped him and put his hand on his shoulder:
- "Who are you, kid?"
Drups understood with a thumping heart that the Genie, because of his long life, had not recoiled to be a kid, and was now in full force, and might literally kill him. The huge basic-rebound energy had absorbed the rest of his power, and if he tried to charge up the energy of his black fork, the genie might have understood this as a hostile signal, so he had to escape without friction with him. He said to him cautiously:
- "I am the son of the owner of the castle."
- "In which castle are we?"
- 'Prince Mrn Atur Castle, (Ten Trees Hills).'
Solaik's eyebrows furrowed tightly, as he thought about why he was here. The boy Drups repeats in entreaty:
"I'm so thirsty, please leave me."
He was feeling a real awful thirst, and a drink of water was enough to quench him and restore his true age, but before he freed him he saw the corpses of the dwarves, Kazan stormed the treasury, wearing his captain's hat, shouting at him after he recognized Drups with his amputated arm:
"Kill him, knight, he's the warlock of Akradar."
The Genie noticed the corpses and was holding his sword, and tried to capture the boy Drups quickly, but he dissociate.
Then his parts bounde and surrounded Kazan's head as if it were a scarf of flesh, and Kazan was terrified, and felt that the warlock would take off his head or make him blind, so he raised his dagger to stab the mass of flesh around his head that made him flounder like a madman, but Drups quickly split up again, the stab hit the dwarf's eye, and perforate his brain, blood flowed from his socket, and he fell into a lifeless body.
Solaik lunges at trying to hit him with his sword, but Drups disintegrates and rushes out, and the genie is chasing after him.
The speed of the sea-jinn on land was astonishing, so it reached him in a manner that shivered all of its parts and grabbed his eyes.
This was Drups' only weak point.
If Solaik had held any other part he could have handled this, but he held his first engine, and its parts fumbled, lost their way from each other, and while squeezing eyes in his left hand, he waved his sword ripping the rest of the parts, which all started to think of one idea and repeat it crazy hundreds of times:
"Where are my parts, Delgis, where are my parts? Where are you?"
Solaik was ripping apart his scattered parts, which were rolling all over, and some dwarves saw him and joined him, while Drups with his last part, the eyes, heard a final sound within his consciousness.
Young woman crying.
With only the two eyes left in his palm, Solaik threw the engorged right eye into the air, saying to the dwarves:
- "Your comrade in the hat was killed."
Realizing in dismay the fact that he had killed Kazan, they hurled their daggers into the flying eye in wrath and grief, ripping it into several pieces, and he caught the left eye, which was staring at him with all the horror of the universe, and crushed it in his palm with a single stroke. And he says to him:
- "You are not the son of a castle owner. You are just a thirsty one."
