The transition happened in an instant. The sky turned from the dark-green haze to a wide-open blue speckled with white clouds. Kim Hajun blinked a few times, the glare from a massive red sun shining in his eyes. His eyes rolled downwards, but thanks to the way the tentacles held him, he couldnt see anything but the clouds in the sky.
Is this the Wisty? Vur asked.
Sure is, Stella said and poked her head out of Vurs snout. She looked around before nodding. You can polymorph back into a human.
Vur crossed his eyes to look at Stella. If the Wisty likes fairies and elementals, shouldnt I polymorph myself into a fairy?
And shrink the door to my home? Stella asked. No way.Upstodatee from
Alright, Vur said and nodded. As his body shrank, turning back into his human form, he caught Lindyss and placed her on the ground, which was the Wistys massive tentacle. They lowered their heads before raising them, taking in the view of the gigantic octopus head. They could only see a small portion of it due to its humongous size. It was pink and fleshy with wrinkles akin to valleys filled with vegetation similar to moss growing on a rock. The tentacle was still approaching the Wistys head, and vegetation on the Wistys head became more detailed: green bushes with flowers of all colors, trees with a variety of different fruits growing on individual branches, lush vines blanketing the ground.
It must be as big as a continent, Lindyss said. I wonder if there are any elves living in those forests.
Nuh-uh, Stella said, shaking her head. At some point, she had flown out of Vur and taken a seat on his shoulder. Fairies and elementals only. She glanced down at Vurs chest. Dont come out, Mervin. If you do, Ill never talk to you again.
Oh, uh, okay! Mervin said without questioning why. Just let me know when I can come out again.
Why cant he come out? Erin asked, crawling out of Vur chest. She flew onto the same shoulder as Stella, taking a seat beside the fairy queen.
The Wisty doesnt like genies and phoenixes, Stella said and pursed her lips.
Hell be fine, Lindyss said. Havent you been paying attention? The Wisty will eat his memories; he wont remember any of my words.
Erin turned her head to look at Kim Hajun. The word fine couldnt be used to describe his appearance. His skin was pale, and his limbs were bound, the tentacles holding him up towards the sky as if they were folding pretzels. Then again, according to the cursed elf words, he wouldnt remember being in such a terrible situation, so it wasnt as bad as it seemed?
We better pack him full of our requests soon, Stella said, gesturing towards the Wistys head. It wont take long for us to arrive in front of its face.
I want a blueberry pie, Erin said, her arm shooting up into the air as she raised her hand.
We can request for food? Vur asked. He turned his head to look down at Stella. I want to snack on a bears soul.
Stella glared at Erin. Not those kinds of requests, she said. Let the Wisty know we need to get back to Erde from the tower. The fairy queen blinked before standing. Actually, Ill do it. She flew over to Kim Hajun. Hey, Wisty, its Stella! Im trying to get home from a big tree, but your tentacle isnt letting me go back. Can you do something about that? Thanks.
Thats it? Lindyss asked, raising an eyebrow as Stella flew back onto Vurs shoulder.
Isnt that what we came here for? Stella asked in return. To give the Wisty a message to let us through?
It is, Lindyss said, but its a lot less troublesome than I thought itd be.
Thanks to one mans sacrifice, Erin said, turning her head towards Kim Hajun. How many of his memories do you think the Wistys going to eat?
Its hard to tell, Stella said and shrugged. Volearden said he stinks, so maybe, the Wisty wont like the way he tastes.
Kim Hajun was speechlessnot that he was able to talk in the first place.
