CHAPTER 28: Freed From Slumber

Zero's Point Of View

Upon casting the illusion spell on him, Ricky ended becoming crippled to an extent. He drools as he lost his sanity for disturbing his mind. Then, the guards came picked him up and locked in a cell. After a while the Elven Queen and Elder and others had calmed down from the intensity from being betrayed by their own Kin. "I can't believe for him to be the one to plot a major event like that!". The Queen stated as she sigh so deeply. "Neither am I, to thought that a well refined and well educated noble like him to have fallen that hard because of greed". Elder Rio says as he shake his head. "What a shameful consequence to fall upon him". He said again as for Luise who held his younger brother's hand. "Well he deserve that, he's a scumbag nonetheless letting his family die for him to gain power". Luise said so with traces of seriousness in his tone. "He's the very example of a Wolf in a sheep's clothing". I said that made them clueless for I have used a figurative speech. "What does that qoute mean?".The Oueen asked. "Oh that's a metaphorical thinking in which you describe a person's personality and attitude like that of an animal". I said to them that gave them a bit of an idea. "In short the quote litteraly means a wolf hiding among the sheeps and in a philosophical area means A person that has a good upbringing that has secretly has a dark personality". I said that made them get the point of the qoute. "That's quite a knowledge coming from a young lad like you". Elder Rio paraised me in that regard. "It was a fundamental for survival after all". I said as a reply to him. "Well said". He replied back at me. "Uhm Grandpa, can you stop the chatting moment well be doing our main goal okay". Valerie suddenly intercept the conversation between the two of us. "Ahh yes! so tell us what is it that you came for?". The Queen asked. "To tell you the truth we were here for uour Son's sake". Kitsune stated that stopped them from a moment. "What about my Trapped Grandson that interests you?". Elder Rio asked with seriousness. "Well Grandpa didn't I say that I won't ever come back until I can find a person who could cure him". Valerie says to him as a reminder to him. "Yes you did say so". He agreed to her statement. "Really, then that means you find someone capable of curing him". Luise said with glimmer of tears coming from his eyes. "Thus he became so close to your brother?". I telepathically asked Valerie. "Yes he did, since only brother seems to understand his circumstances". She replied telepathically as well. "I thought as much". I uttered upon near silent voice. "So where can we see him in his deep slumber?". Merleona asked in a very calm voice. "It was in the basement, we hid him there so that nobody would dare to damage that ice by accident". Queen Reah said with her tone like it's being gloomy.

"Then, please excuse us for intruding it". I said with apologetic tone for their consent. "Don't worry about that, since we really wanted to see him roam around cheerfully again". Elder Rio said ensuring their permission. So then we went to the basement of the house to witness a very massive chunk of Ice Block and inside is a sleeping preserved body. I inspect his condition and there is a faint heartbeat in his heart. "Ah! Sorry for askin, but Valerie said that the Ice doesn't melt even for a skilled Mage to unbound it, so how did you move it here? And considering that why would it be damaged?". Eugene asked from nowhere but has a point. "We carried the whole chunk here and yes it can be damaged it doesn't melt yes but it can be chipped so that hiding it here was the best solution we have thought". Queen Reah answered that made it clear for all of us who didn't know but suddenly a dark Aura coming from Valerie rose up. "And how, did you find that out even I didn't know?". She seriously asked with cold voice that made the Elder and Queen and Luise be flustered. "I accidentally chipped off when I visit him as I slipped my feet resulting a rock to hit the Ice". Luise explained to her but she immediately pinch his ear stretching. "Ahhh Stop". He begged from her as she let it go upon being released Luise's ear became purplish grey from the pressure Valerie applied in it. "Sorry okay, I didn't meant to do it". He said as he touch his ear. Then I sigh heavily. "Then shall we start?". Valerie asked with determined look and excitement. I sign Kitsune to make them move away at the Ice block and she did without hesitation. "Can you please move away from him, pleaee". She said that they did eventually. So then I concentrated as I draw a Yin Yang Symbol in the air with water and fire magic. "What is that a magic circle? but I didn't know that sign". The Elder stated in his surprise. "But Father you're a master in magic enchantments so this is you're first time encountering that one?". The Queen asked him. "Yes it is". He answered. "Apparently according to him that symbol represents Good and Evil energy that bqlances the world like two mystical dragon chasing each other". Kitsune replied that made them be amazed. "Such thinking is very incredible". The Elder only said as a praise to me and tgen they became quiet. "Twin Dragon Bind Release". I chanted as fire and water appeared encircling the Ice like they were dancing melting it. Leaving the body aside I rush at him to cure his condition. "Recovery Magic: Reverse Regeneration". I chanted as his wounds healed and temperature and skin color became stable. As the family gathered around him and hug him so tight. Opening his bluish eyes.
