Let me see that book, Grimmy said and held out his paw.
Vur handed over the Tricksters Book, and Grimmy nodded. The cursed dragon flipped through the pages, nodding and grunting all the while. I see, he said and closed the book. Very interesting.
Is that all you have to say? Gren asked and stretched her paw out to grab the book, but Grimmy tucked his leg underneath his belly, hiding the Tricksters Book from view.
Whats the magic word? Grimmy asked.
Grens eyes widened, and she slapped her tail against the ground. Please, she said through clenched teeth. She inched her paw closer to Grimmy, nearly poking his snout. Let me see the book.
Grimmy chuckled and placed the Tricksters Book into his moms waiting paw. She opened it and immediately frowned.
What? Kondra asked and sneaked around to read the book from over Grens shoulder. Are the spells in there really that strong?
Gren flipped through the book and frowned. She raised her head and stared at Grimmy. You couldnt read it, could you?
Nope, Grimmy said and grinned. I have no clue what language thats written in.
Let me see, Kondra said and grabbed at the book.Findd new stories at novelhall.com
Gren snorted and slapped away Kondras paw. An uneducated buffoon like yourself wouldnt understand anything, she said. Youll probably damage the book out of frustration, and I wont let that happen.
Do you understand whats written? Grimmy asked, raising an eyebrow at Gren.
Gren sniffed and reared her head back. Given enough time, Im sure Ill figure it out.
Isnt this evil of yours sealed? Kondra asked, baring her teeth. How can she control Ramon if shes sealed?
Shes sealed, but clearly, the seal has weakened, Gren said and frowned. Grimmy and Leila, you two will go to Kozabokgets space and look for Ramon there. Kondra, you take Gloria and Tafel out of the tower. Tell Kal and your mate that they need to come down here to look for Ramon. Vur, youll come with me to search the tower for any traces of Ramon or hints of broken seals.
Tafel frowned. I can help look for Ramon.
Gren snorted. Youll be more helpful keeping an eye on the phoenixes upstairs. Dont let them touch things they arent supposed to touch; I know how phoenixes are. She looked around. Well, what are you all waiting for? Get to it!
This way, Grimmy said and grabbed Leilas paw. He pulled her down the corridor around a bend.
Kondra pursed her lips before grabbing onto Glorias wing, making sure not to let go. What if her other grandchild was taken away by the evil-sealing tower as well? She wouldnt let that happen under her watch, at least, not again.
Tafel sighed before climbing onto Glorias back. Since she couldnt use her portals properly here, it was true her combat ability was lower than usual. And Gren did raise a good point; Emile loved messing around with things he wasnt supposed to.
Once everyone had dispersed, Vur scratched his head. Zilphy, Deedee? Do you know where Ramon is?
The green runes on Vurs arm flashed. The air in here is really stale, Zilphy said. Its like theres no wind at all. I can barely sense anything past that bend in the corridor.
The floor is unusually stable as well, Diamant said, his voice coming out of the brown runes on Vurs forearm. Normally, I can locate things through the vibrations they leave in the earth, but theres none of that here. Its like the earth here is dead.
Gren wrinkled her snout. This is the evil-sealing tower, she said. World-ending creatures are locked away here. Of course, methods like transmitting messages through vibrations or circulating poison through the air are prohibited.
Vur scratched his chin. Isnt the tower just one big spiral? Isnt there only one way Ramon could go?
Gren shook her head. The path branches out on the lower levels. The original plan was to have one path spiraling down, but my ancestors dug into a large pool of lava and had to branch outwards to accommodate more evils."
