Chapter 38 - CHAPTER 38

-I see that the rescue group is a bunch of scum, no wonder they still can't free me, don't they know what the invisibility spells are for? You look like a lighthouse in the night.

- They can no longer use magic, my dear. Why don't you help them?

- That's impossible, you see, because of that stupid guy, my magic can't be used except for that idiotic spell to move objects, but with so many security filters, I can't use it if the object weighs 50gr, I'm doomed, when that bastard comes back, he'll reactivate the seals and I'll go back to sleep... not to wake up -.

 -That's why we can help, look, you see that little stone, why don't you move it? -.

- Well, that? Well... it moves, enough to think about, but it's just a shard, I don't see any real use for it, what could we do with it? A sword, a baculum, something that could give more power, that would be useful -.

- You forget that you can move it in a hurry, look, you see that guard at the end of the hall, calmly raise it, yes, to the height of his skull, accelerate it, but keep it in place, you need it to increase his inertia, carefully, now that he can't see! Hard, fast through it... see how it's not so hard? - .

 -Speak for yourself, that was very tiring, but you're right, if I want to get out of here I have to help those idiots so they don't meet resistance, first I'll make it so I can see with this rock... ready, now if to go through the corridors where I feel they're coming, they chose a short way at least, it has ten guards watching, but they are separated, if they eliminate one and I nine I can be free! -.

- Yes and no, remember that you still have to go with your father's friend, it is very important that he is the one who takes you out of this coffin, otherwise you will die and the elf king will think that you failed -.

- I am not a child! I turned four hundred years old six months ago, that little stone is my only hope, I have to reach to move it, I have already taken the stone out of the room where I am, the further I move it the harder it gets, but I will not give up, those pack mules have to be moved, I just want someone to get me out of this place, I've had a lot of time to read these runes, the voice is right, I can't get out just because, most of the runes are not for protection, they are explosive seals, if I open this on my own nothing will save me, the whole Alcazar would blow up with me. - 

-I've already killed seven guards, cleared the corridors, but the useless ones keep getting on my nerves, instead of using their maps to radiate my energy to reach me, they just follow a small and dirty map, what's more important than their princess? I'll make sure they all lose their heads! -.

-Remember the scroll princess, for you to get out you need her to release a scroll deep in the library.

- Damn rats, don't you know how tiring it is to go around eliminating your guards and pursuers, I have to be able to do something, it's very frustrating to be limited, here we go again, this pebble must be able to, there they go running like idiots, they don't think about the enemies, they're just brats, they can't even be 150 years old... Shit! There are at least four guards at the entrance to the library, if I kill one of them, the others will notice.

- Eliminate them with magic! -. I can't, something as simple as a ray would make me faint from the excess of magic used, you know that! If I'm unconscious, I won't be able to help the idiots who come to rescue me.

 -I could help the princess, don't worry, you eliminate them, I'll lead your rescuers to get you to safety.

 -I don't have a choice, do I? Well, why am I arguing, calm down, I need to see their faces, stone, don't let me down! There they are, those wood elves, I knew it! I'll be sure to kill all those inferiors as soon as our powers return, it's in their heads... I've got them now!

-P...r...a ...Prin...cesa Princess, we are free! -.

- Huh? Really? Are we already going to the place where I'm supposed to cast the curse on the continent?

 No, Your Highness, as I told you, it is essential that you bring the other spell, the one your father's friend wrote, we are going to the place where the summoning will be done, the convoy that went for this parchment must arrive there. Why don't you rest? I woke her up to let her know that she is only a few hours away from fulfilling her father's wish.

- Are you sure? The truth is that I'm still tired, I never present problems with magic like this, at least I'll be free soon, I take your word, good night!

 -naive -.

- Did you say something? -.

-Sleep well princess of the high elves, there is little left for us to be free.
