Chapter 10 - she knows

as ralph was about to start reading natacha picked up her little bottle and sprayed the content all over her face inhaling the content.

ralph was super afraid but he still read out loud

" the name of the story is bindweed ". cough'cough'.

ralph could hide the fear in him at all

" for generations the evil soscerer of quantel sent children sent children to mine jewel from the mouth of the great monster "

A thousand years ago the evil soscerer had the chance to kill the holiest beast but instead he used a powerful potion to keep the powerful monster unconscious to make himself rich "

" oh yes good word " natacha stepped on his toes again as she cut him mid sentence

" every morning the soscerer of quantel would put a bottle of his potion down the monsters fifth ears and the beast remain unconscious, the recipe was as old as time.

dissolved bat bones , dried aged widow orchid , powder beetle shells but the most important ingredient however was bindweed,. bindweed was the only thing that could hide the powerful stench of the potion, without it the smell would rouse the great monster but one day the soscerer went to harvest more bindweed and he discovered that the entire field had widered and died and now the potion smelled worst than ever... putrid, weak, blomerouse".

again natacha was going to cut Ralph mid sentence" oh yes yes yes. .. it stinks understood, now just continue "

" now the soscerer would have to kill the monster once and for all, he reluctantly raised his mighty staff to kill the beast as a girl came to him and promised a solution to his problems. .... I know a replacement for bindweed your jewel harvest can contain you . ...

and the soscerer roared at her... foolish child you don't know anything about moon magic.. he raised his staff and was ready to strike her down. ...I can prove it and if I do I want a bag of jewels..... the soscerer was going to harm her but seeing how confident she was about this he hesitated.... if you can prove it you'll get two bag of jewels, if not you will give me your life. ... as the girl steps forward and poured a misterious dark liquid into the into the potion, the evil soscerer sniffed the potion and found out the horrible stench was no more. the evil soscerer couldn't believe it. it smelled like refreshing, like lilacs on a"

" bleeeeergh .... can you just get on with it ?"

again natacha cut into Ralph's story reminding him he was over complementing the potion..

ralph didn't mind he still went on " the soscerer poured the potion into the monsters ear and waited, and the beast let out a loud rumble and was still again. ... yes it works again.. the soscerer says, but the peasant girl had removed more than just the smell from the potion.. she had also erased all of its magic, the soscerer's potion was rendered useless. the peasant girl nodded to something behind her and the eyes of the great monster were open the evil soscerer shrieked and the peasant girl watched it all smiling.. the evil soscerer has sent her baby brother into that cave and he never returned. the peasant girl cared nothing about jewels she got what she wanted , revenge and so she walked away as the monsters sharp teeth chomp down on the shrieking soscerer silencing him forever.. "

now natacha was about to rain fire and brimstone on ralph for writing a happy ending on his story.. just as she was about to act ralph raised up his hands indicating he wasn't true yet

" just as the peasant girl thought she had gotten away with it all a black shadow loomed over her it was the monsters giant foot right above her..

... splat...

the end and not a happy one .."

ralph ended his story sadly but to natacha that was a good one .

" bind weed ? " natacha asked looking all cocky

" yeah me and asmien researched for hours, I know how important it is to get all the details right"

" no !" natacha said loudly

" no?".

asmien looked at this happily this was actually their plan the put a wrong ingredient on the place of one which was to hide the scent of the sleeping potion and then natacha would come up with her usual sassing and tell them the real item

" no" natacha said again

" I made the potion ingredients but I was sure bindweed hides the scent of the potion"

" I thought we got it right this time " ralph was desperate for what the right answer now he was worried natacha might not tell them .

" that's your mistake, you worked with her ... bindweed keeps liquid from separating... everyone knows cinder roots hides smell not bindweed

finally ralph was so delighted he got what he needed now

" cinder root of course , sorry I was wrong.". asmien said with as much happiness

... ralph and asmien headed to natacha's nursery they wore safety gadgets for precautions what happened last time they were in the nursery was unforgettable.. when they got there they both took position.. asmien as the leader and Ralph as the assistant

" let's do some science stuff " asmien got prepared as they both started mixing different items to each other and asmien supervising it all..

.... the next night natacha was seated in a dinner chair close to a table whilst awaiting a cup of juice before ralph started his story ..

ralph walked up to asmien and she nodded as a sign of assuring him to continue with the plan and so he did

he brought out a small bottle the size of a finger and poured the content in natacha's glass of juice, he was ready to take it to her only to notice a green colour spreading through the juice it was a result of their little experiment..

" uuugh.... ralph gasped he turned over to asmien. " what's happening it's turning green, I can't bring this out there " ralph said with total fear .

" it's some kind of reaction" asmien said with as much worry

and out of nowhere lomar was visible close to them it had camouflaging itself.

" the service here is terrible!!" natacha who was waiting at the dinner room was getting pretty bored "

... " what do I do I don't have a story for tonight". ralph was about to freak out

" two drops was all you had to put in " asmien said

" I'll be right back" asmien took Natasha's food to the dinning table first before they could think of what to do...

when she got there natacha noticed a sign of worry and fear on her face but didn't bother to ask,. she actually enjoyed seeing people in fear. " where's my lemonade? "

" I'm coming!". ralph meanwhile was still in the kitchen he threw away the cup of lemonade and and poured in a new one he reached out for the sleeping potion to add to the lemonade but it wasn't where he kept it anymore. " where is it I kept it right here "

asmien who was now in the kitchen watching ralph look for the potion was freaked out " she knows ! "
