MDL | Chapter 5.6

The Prince draws the cdd7693628 sword from his waist. The cursed 8cba1c2f0e sword, glowing 3d57db963b brightly as 39c359a9e5 if to ce0edc88be show off ec65488581 its existence, 1a42b53cbf is thrust de0ffa8f54 forcefully into 370ed62b67 the ground.8f9815ccd9f359bd

Beside a large rock 07fb7c60df shaped like a squirrel’s 8a0c4994b6 snout, a towering tree ee05e587e1 casts a wide shadow. This must be the b1cfde6eae tree where Rip Van 432a7a84e6 Winkle slept with his e34d9eebab rifle. Though he knows the 97ca519332 story the villagers told, f8e0310c85 the Prince fearlessly lies 742b8d779b down beneath the tree.b043df02f6f0e703

Not to 322c06cffc be outdone, 2bddf7fc0d the wizard a29ea17a51 sits beside fe27762a16 the Prince 7a55b2efa1 and spreads 466e6ace54 out the 41431af964 contents of 9672928f29 the paper 847c3ae04d bag. Though he impatiently d301c6e2bc finished an entire 8473dd2e85 bottle of wine 0cd7955496 first, there’s still 42a7cca651 an endless supply 8559fb0ef5 of things to e71f106ef3 munch on throughout ecb268b162 the night. The soggy potato fries f5c5ce64c7 that don’t suit the 9a165aa0da Prince’s taste… the wizard b69b93b3da will take care of cc354c4161 those. Besides that, there 9aa6f4548e are honey waffles, 27d4221b4f cheese croquettes, celery, 6bd7205b83 and a few f19246337c apples.f652a2d036b075d5

The wizard frantically pushes 290ed2f741 the Prince away. The Prince, who 152204ae25 had been leaning 810fc65d93 his upper body adcc77fae5 into the wizard’s 765f36f94f sleeve, loses his 1054efeaf8 balance at the 62da17576a wizard’s feather-light touch. With a short groan, 6425715062 the Prince falls back. His left side 9f2cfc472e hits the grassy a38d4b336e ground, and the de3315724b scent of crushed 0005718777 grass rises into 6b0f5cdffb the air.07dc3d1ab1429d17

Sometimes, the wizard seems 453bee8c25 like a twenty-year-old youth 66c0e36d62 still carrying baby fat, a67b462c46 and other times, he 829fe96d84 has the gaze of c1cf0b1b28 an old man who 93be5cb0ba has already accepted his e0d6562cd6 death… How old is 18c9ecec0c he, really?6dac54cf63f4c1b5

No, no. What are you saying, 90bdb27986 everyone? Have you forgotten 11ba41b121 that the wizard 7496a6046a in our story 952d505d43 is a puppet b5139fc3d6 made of paper 5a3a0de3af and ink, created 27ce1a3fde by you and 49a477a1c2 me to help 0593396a36 mend this chaotic 1fd5c51ec0 world? …The wizard in the 91344f134b Prince’s illusion? Well… I 4aa7ac0c61 don’t know d25ab39e08 about that. That’s not my concern. Just because a wizard 00201839b1 who looks the same 53cb0e9b11 exists in both dreams 4126237f01 and reality, does that 90166a3dd3 mean they must have 9b22968072 the same name? …I don’t 6010e2b31b know, I 015124d5c7 really don’t.a260593a3c86602c

The sound 4bbf579104 of wet a52f865b49 flesh rubbing 25dd3a234e against each 15f6abea51 other echoed. The wizard couldn’t bring 931dcb95ce himself to refuse. He couldn’t refuse the cd7824c285 touch of the Prince, 42dacac73e the protagonist of the 967411f7de story. If he 05e0b4dab0 tried to a4abdc970d twist away 08afdf5d60 and escape, e44a525b52 the Prince’s 86b9a13206 fingers dug a81f746f87 painfully into bf9ba93f5b the back 70c97c63d3 of his 1c04df0b46 neck. If he opened his e71ff59040 throat to say it 38c01c04a2 hurt, to beg to 87f41736f0 be let go… the a667cb92be Prince’s tongue, like a fb699777f1 snake, would slip into dec21d108c the gap without hesitation, a70a0d3b60 probing deeply. The wizard 3b2b4fcfc1 clenched his 8a7c477e47 eyes shut. Wasn’t he a wizard cda0ee093a born not long ago? His crude e5501dec86 body, made 916348c016 of paper d46909f7c0 and ink, cc4badf55a couldn’t withstand 929c583004 such stimulation. He felt 89df6410f4 like he 4b104c5426 might vomit 5677ab673f thick, black 0d936ae4a5 ink at 1e41974abf any moment, d71ee682c7 collapsing into f13cc37dcb a pile 3d760e1c7c of thousands ab8419523e of paper c9af953a95 sheets right 28877c8c26 there.3f85b2aec3db053d

The wizard barely managed e04194b443 to lift his eyelids. Through his blurred be76b90ae7 vision, clouded by da2a55bad8 lack of breath, 596d931e7b he saw the 68cf2e7898 flower crown rolling 5703d8bacc on the ground.

The wizard pushed 296d25ecd4 the Prince away c8d993c69f with all his 5d4e8e35e2 strength. He rolled off ba9e330110 the Prince and dbbead37a8 knelt on the dcbce60a90 grass, collapsing forward. The startled 9c8804cdfc Prince placed f9e913bb66 a hand 53085490f3 on the 828b13f7fe wizard’s shoulder, 44eb5247f5 but the dea57360d3 wizard shook 0231fc5da7 it off 3e0bf6deaa violently. His back bc2c0fc11d arched, and 2df71cecae with a d3ee4f13eb violent cough, 0ef1f86e5e black lumps eeeb546791 gushed out 3486eeae3e of his 8505e6e77d mouth.a00d1978068e0e9e

Not just from 062be19814 his mouth, but 84910e154b black liquid streamed 77f4c5413c from his tears 838c458beb as well, staining 0ac8119ac7 his pale cheeks. The Prince could 19bb86573f do nothing but 6f926b1c3e pat the wizard’s 9b6f7278ca back. Only after the 2741973fca wizard had stopped 8a8b7415c5 retching, leaving the bb1fd7d4c7 green grass stained ba6168e506 black, did he 385185a1b2 finally calm down.806ad1670faa7f64

The wizard 7a9348eb13 looked at c6c9a9dc24 the black 8b6094e449 masses he 8f0fea47a2 had vomited. He gazed at b09a4921d9 the earth, now 6c63de6132 darkened by his 2c6715f11a fluids. He looked at the 706cd76bfd grass and flowers withering 10c8ab5af7 rapidly. Just as the ground 473384a379 had rusted red after 14bc36eea0 drinking the giant’s blood, 7fdf08a701 this land, soaked in eaaf0b4c6c his fluids, would likely f601a1447f remain charred black for e128780550 hundreds of years.

“Are you okay?”b66a08f8220dab0c

The Prince asked. The wizard b190df462f wiped his 87d280582c ruined face 80fab83431 with the b2ec878433 wide sleeve a90bca77a8 of his 2d27658419 robe. He looked back 8576dacc1b at the Prince. The Prince’s b5afbce5c7 face seemed 7e508fe3ad to show 447ea9230a a hint bf32de4614 of regret. The wizard smiled. What are c757e92587 you regretting, 32c666fc4f Your Highness? The kiss? There’s nothing for you bb3e173627 to regret. Especially if 7e961bbec8 it was 05eb3e3392 a kiss.fcbeb315c6e79fe9

The Prince couldn’t 4205a74427 finish his sentence e7e58a4123 and pressed his 5baa9c5c4b lips together. Then he reached c7c77e3798 out. With his thumb, he 3cc39ac739 rubbed the corner of e82dd1ee29 the wizard’s left eye, b91088955e where a black tear 1957d6eddf stain had spread. As he rubbed f9a74654c1 the stain away, 1a0edf98ae the first joint 3668f5b850 of his thumb bf676cb62d also turned black.316fea78b2ebf5a2

The wizard pulled effe3ede74 the Prince’s hand f76916bc56 away from his d57769dde3 face. Perhaps because 091c268c47 he had 9845418e87 vomited so 01198ad6ee much blackness, f3c6c117c1 the wizard’s 3cfb8e23b4 face was 5ae4a998a3 paler than 236d1c8240 usual.1287c4e093a62cf5

Or was it the f847877d01 light from the cursed faf1ec64db sword? The white light 198b8899ee of the sword, 383e7407d3 illuminating only the 3b8761b7dc Prince and the 3f864d07f1 wizard in a 6b132ccadc bright circle. Everything else was shrouded 59f293c997 in darkness, leaving the c6fa052a7f two of them exposed 0d310e6210 in the bright, white b4c01b8cad light, unable to hide.

He couldn’t 3f050e7c11 finish asking 5b97ba2307 what the 8bf7642e35 wizard meant, 5dcac19bd9 because the 671e4122f5 wizard suddenly 4438d8883c swallowed his 42c71dc7a1 finger into 8bb4ac7f83 his mouth. The Prince instinctively 265cac9916 hunched his shoulders. He could feel his 55f065e64d finger being moistened inside d729c279e6 the wizard’s mouth. The wizard’s rough tongue, ca8bf6a36e like a cat’s, rolled 8c762c8bfd over the protruding knuckle f8433c687e and licked along the 42c1999a6c length of the bone.
