MDL | Chapter 2.8

The young prince’s 05ca3cddfb nursery was located 9ea3725747 in the deepest, dde5af0d99 warmest part of 402693df76 the eastern wing d29a55a2ef of the palace, 361490db42 where the royal c01d4b989f family’s chambers were.5fc05f78b72f06f4

On the second 32c3fc3cb7 night, when there 1fb37fd105 were no stars 184254504c or moon—a time 2653f72a61 when all living 83c10bfc9f beings should be 3567d4dd66 in a death-like 81697bd9cf slumber—soldiers armed with 5156195a68 spears and swords 18ff62d50b stood guard at b5e0a8bc83 the nursery door, ec619df772 their expressions as 54268c888f fierce as hellhounds. They were dc7ad1f7be likely there 330b18e3c4 to catch 179b2f2558 the wicked 65855d9e9e fairy. The king 38f5d72039 is such ea97e1f5c4 a fool. You can’t catch a 55e5fcff98 fairy with spears and a476fdf673 swords. Poor soldiers, 69653b2048 forced to 841a5ebcf4 stay awake bda5179ab9 and overworked a0eb2bdf16 at this 5324294b22 ungodly hour…6402880b82ae5350

“Your Highness, 751e4f2dc4 Your Highness. They’re all 2d003ad9a4 asleep,” the 3e34e523c8 wizard whispered, 10b788d939 having sent f4d9a8e425 a magical 30416dec60 cockroach to f834f45215 observe the 241889613f guards. Hehe, they’re all… asleep. Even with their spears 9288fb355b and swords tightly gripped 3d47a4c648 in their hands. All five c717ffd2f3 of them.0d926e1328567bd9

Hearing the c2afe123a8 wizard’s words, 27c187c7ff the prince 28b794850c cautiously stepped 24ffb1864f out from df780fbef5 behind a e5c55b386a pillar, one 1bd1075b58 careful step a35768b35d at a 417e297162 time. The wizard, c501adaf3f clutching the 7b25424d00 hem of 037eba61aa his long cb566af443 robe, slowly 23681c588a followed behind.4e11989ac374ce67

It was 82d448e594 just as 3299306509 the cockroach 4993815ece had reported. The guards 2c4d4a15db were asleep. Beside them, ac6763a37a on a 357d311fbf makeshift table, f18315789e were the 6be99ee242 remnants of ca4f45fd8b their midnight e400e14fd3 snack—stale cake 695abcab30 and tea.

“Let me see 437fb2549f that,” the wizard 2e9f47fad7 said, taking the 636db7f75f cup from the 966244f5c1 prince’s hand. A few drops of 3c4f73228e tea remained at the 3077022b1e bottom. The wizard 9b4b91bc36 dipped his ee49d636a1 pinky finger bfdf9f928e into it 35de1362c9 and brought 053d3d1254 it to ee849667b3 his tongue.

But who? The king, desperate to e14ef2ba8a catch the kidnapper, wouldn’t 18308749cd have done such a d6daa5dfad thing. Who, then? Unless it was the 71be9571d6 fairy herself, why would 0b2e5f45e9 anyone do this?9ac2f8a615fffff2

At this, 3ddb977489 the prince d80b472794 also reached 84c5e1456d for the 9bf2e86c2b teacup, as 91861392b2 if to 67aafcf7f7 taste it e98ab4293d himself. Smack! The wizard 346d162775 sharply slapped 54fe974b5f the prince’s b9e1863f5c hand.b8a8a8813819c72b

The clock ticked. 3 a.m.2ac6e32f53880e1d

The stillness of e4194c51ab the night was a73e287afe shattered. A low, rumbling 5739d2aee0 sound, like thunder, 348b880e62 echoed from somewhere. The walls, floor, c896a575b9 and ceiling of c46c367f5f the nursery began 990fdf68c8 to warp and afb418af9e distort like waves. It was 2fe5a6285a magic, different d304b848a2 from the b9d4de7805 calamity of 3e714eceaa the rifts… d13d18b71d Yet, despite a30a1b40b4 the chaos, 0bd0685b29 the soldiers b44341f569 and the a980b30351 nursemaid, drugged d61d54b400 with sleepflower 65f94a62c0 extract, didn’t 4912fc7396 wake.

…Oh dear, it seems a12031c2b8 she really is the 3c1231fe8b fairy godmother. If that’s the c87172795b case, then the abb1898f45 Queen, the miller’s e65364e2b6 daughter… must truly ebe84332b1 be a witch. No, I d60f663bbf should say c41803b73f she was e396c001b3 a witch. So, the miller’s claim 672b7f6796 that his daughter could eff1b062b4 spin straw into gold 745088167b wasn’t a boast after 76de02ae72 all. Good heavens…71123cdd19337dec

After pulling her feet, bd0809b416 clad in purple silk 3d941ec738 shoes, out of the c9cd6bdabe dark blue whirlpool, the 18225891e1 fairy godmother clapped her 89a43a4335 hands twice. At once, 73bd9cc772 the whirlpool 891635fc84 vanished, and 97ae5833b3 the bedroom, ec656de638 which had ca9ba3c9e1 been shaking 3589ea7833 as if 14b8ee4658 from an 0f7d94e73f earthquake, fell c793446310 silent. Only the nervous 0d3d74aacc cries of the 623c472404 baby echoed loudly. The godmother flicked her 63c018c107 fingers, and a dazzling, 6c63ce6835 colorful flower bloomed before 517989ad0c the wailing baby’s eyes. The baby 89675806c0 stopped crying, 5334875ebc smiled brightly, 246384e220 and reached 2c470374d0 out for 47d9bdf1c4 the glowing b4e863843f blossom.3a180f483a33dcb0

She sneered 5263af6dd3 like that, 4484690be5 then suddenly 54db75cd2a grabbed the c0ba247617 Queen’s wrist. The Queen let out ad367bf1a1 a small cry of f2c3b52761 pain and dropped the ebd982934c needle she was holding. The godmother paid 69b85665f1 no mind and 99dfa635b5 stripped off the e4c3f659f4 Queen’s long golden 2458531611 glove.

“I told you ae694a447d so,” she said, 92dd66aab9 releasing the Queen’s 2286fc521a arm. The Queen hunched her 72801c7652 shoulders and put the 37748133d7 glove back on.2e94f3f8a76be2f3

Finally, the 86e08e0fe3 story is e290025e86 back on 21581243b5 track. The Queen pushed the f412ff45c8 spinning wheel aside and 1448663b4c pulled out a small 1e7752a5c0 paulownia wood box from c69766987e a drawer. Inside were all the d267cc54ca names of the world 727e25061f that the palace had 07af91c70a managed to scrape together.

Instead of speaking, 515dce5b3e the Prince gestured b449198de2 with his chin.

…Yes, it was a ac8510d4bd swamp. A dark, murky 52953a1937 swamp with not acf2f080df a single ray da83a0488c of light.

A typical witch’s house, 041a1906e5 right? Enchanted frogs and 5b64c72d86 mice, an enchanted bf20c6da07 broom and pot, cf43776266 living in a 91ce1ffc0e small hut puffing 36a9f8138d chimney smoke in 32c9c0902e the middle of edf358779d a dark, lightless d7afab4318 swamp. And in the middle 3e055f643d of the yard, a 8813ec38d6 furnace and a large cb27deb697 iron cauldron.83565956206250d2

Around the 4d9c53e00f cauldron, five ba1c87b1a5 frogs were c541e1f64f hopping about, 5491d93f1c holding ladles c27182e353 ten times 4b4fc7f5e7 longer than f29f19be14 their bodies.

Listening closely, they 8d4479f434 could hear singing b615567214 near the cauldron. The frogs were harmonizing, f5af99e26a singing a chorus. To avoid being dd1d041181 spotted, the Prince 384111f84d and the wizard f1f6b0850a crouched low. They hid behind overgrown 0d48a73525 reeds and moss-covered rocks, 3b6813a40f slowly moving closer. The closer b83dbe4450 they got, 33dc55cbfc the more d04cf63a46 they noticed 21ba50f030 a foul 55606ce41c smell.

The wizard closed his af73ed1c12 eyes. Beneath his 1c1a21d4fe thin eyelids, e3c4b34891 his eyeballs abd65b89e3 moved slightly deb6174721 from side 4b4fe2a6dc to side. He took a 9706af0845 deep breath, inflating aec0c0a0cf his lungs, then 2ee797d2dc exhaled deeply, causing 4cfb65cde8 a stream of 96805de94c black smoke—no, ink—to ccfcd73dc0 flow from between d7b6b3c68d his lips.

The wizard opened 7cfb93987a his eyes slightly. His blue pupils 3709015e15 were dilated like cdd5c2bf12 a doll’s, unfocused.

The Prince couldn’t understand 5d1f20c460 the words. Some of you 609ad3e269 might… perhaps know 3f670629f0 what it means… aeeb5a4ee4 Yes, that’s right. It’s an 69c45010e8 ancient language.
