MDL | Chapter 5.6

The Prince d7847fd88c draws the 720f3d6396 sword from bb6c8852c8 his waist. The cursed sword, e9559d38f4 glowing brightly as 1233081ff6 if to show 6f5a4da01c off its existence, eba77f315d is thrust forcefully a01172f7e6 into the ground.95dd419ed4e9b614

Beside a bf6d5b9294 large rock ae3a83fe1e shaped like 9f7486a7cd a squirrel’s 6d08892c63 snout, a 2f205e271b towering tree ee5d1df51e casts a 2c153c3286 wide shadow. This must be the a41570b5b8 tree where Rip Van 43e240c818 Winkle slept with his 62b771d151 rifle. Though he knows f0eebdd393 the story the f754ffe2e2 villagers told, the 772c99f4da Prince fearlessly lies c42e6e9c37 down beneath the cef4efdcb5 tree.267ecc0335aa150b

Not to be outdone, 4c9bcb8b9e the wizard sits beside 992b06f8a6 the Prince and spreads 31a09546b9 out the contents of 53b078b531 the paper bag. Though he impatiently 560cdded2d finished an entire 4392f8f142 bottle of wine 3b81c5eb3e first, there’s still 7f3348c83c an endless supply 1498e32cd5 of things to 895e892739 munch on throughout 4a1f9f26c9 the night. The soggy potato fries dd528ba801 that don’t suit the c730395eae Prince’s taste… the wizard 9aec4ed3cc will take care of 260c266f22 those. Besides that, there are 2f6cba5959 honey waffles, cheese croquettes, 91fa427633 celery, and a few af94b918b0 apples.86f5c4c051ca10e1

The wizard 5b3cb298e7 frantically pushes 3e0a4c64c7 the Prince 6a89613275 away. The Prince, 0629294a4c who had c3fd431f9b been leaning 781e0ea6ae his upper ed8a4caa5b body into e89f78ca7d the wizard’s dd9a522a56 sleeve, loses d034c1e586 his balance cc7263e3ef at the b33d9dc665 wizard’s feather-light 9b3a0e1d3d touch. With a short a0187abc15 groan, the Prince affa354754 falls back. His left side ab0239ca5e hits the grassy 1938a7f385 ground, and the 1c12474d92 scent of crushed 864c8398c4 grass rises into a4a346c9c2 the air.bf669eef339d8a92

He couldn’t believe it. It was too 60c51c46ca vivid to be a38a088299 a dream. Despite the fact 2597560e1c that if he 35c4d2aea9 were beheaded, black b2206ffb80 ink would spill b7d45de1ca instead of red 4189e77df5 blood, the wizard’s a60e338ef2 lips were warm. Instead of the musty f58c5ca2ed smell of ink and fff40c98f2 yellowed paper, there was 929d375955 the scent of a f84cd40fdf living, breathing person—pulsing with 45960db59a life.5308e8c396a10963

The smell 9d01f54d7e of grass dc39abf126 clinging to 872cf9ad4e his clothes, ae1305ace0 the lingering 3ce20a105b scent of 2d4af78df1 honey wine, ec76595fe0 the salt 2539046a92 and oil b6786b79b5 from the d3f53b10d5 food, the 7caf2d5c6c leather and c6fef282e5 fur of 07d4ee44f5 the horses 16dfa64ef7 they’ve ridden 143bf9caf8 together, and 311b6cf5cc the soap 98f6c46c46 lingering in 1ad031f6ec his hair.7744d0c646d2d57c

All of it, the 70ab019598 scent of a living 8d1f82a8d8 person. He breathed it de7f060b53 in willingly, wrapping 7fc4180d0f his arms tightly e1c63b709d around the wizard’s faf5bcc713 neck and back.

The moment he realized 1eb02ed21b this, the crown on cbb0fd1a77 the boy’s head caught 637b7e97f6 his eye.

The grown boy called 8684ee8b67 him. His voice was thick c1bcb07238 with emotion. Like a plump 6b2425e452 green leaf that, f7f2e69ce9 when cut, oozes dbfbe32451 bitter sap. He remembered what 34be399ea9 he had intended 58240a235a to do. He grabbed b386356986 the crown dd8420bef4 from the 39f3c836db boy’s head 2f9f8c3016 and pulled 8f4563eee2 it off, 180b3452c1 his other 7225565e1b hand cradling 141373b279 the back 482f61e8c9 of the b92df61a09 boy’s neck. Their lips met. He gently fff455b3f4 slipped his 1644daae1f tongue in, b0ac7932d6 tasting the f4cc13eb51 soft, moist bdec78555e interior. It was sweet. The scent of c554e90564 honey wine, which 6eabd95f68 he had drunk 2353bc1c43 to the point cf4335cd23 of disgust. Perhaps his own e138475897 tongue and lips 471567fc57 carried the same da53ee5d97 taste and scent.

No, no. What are you 2697c61dd2 saying, everyone? Have you forgotten e2730e36d4 that the wizard 6f52c799b2 in our story 81c8f5dc76 is a puppet fa1139b2e8 made of paper 8f406081ce and ink, created 83ef62435a by you and eb0d36408d me to help 4620b1614c mend this chaotic 444fe7dbb2 world? …The wizard in f338025b5e the Prince’s illusion? Well… I don’t know e81c0538d3 about that. That’s not my concern. Just because a wizard 1a00f74edd who looks the same 90c77879bb exists in both dreams feb04d22ca and reality, does that ef7f2c8923 mean they must have 8bff530934 the same name? …I don’t 8688b4f041 know, I b33b82027a really don’t.0586c6031768bdc9

The sound of wet 7ddd54f010 flesh rubbing against each f9aaaaaa82 other echoed. The wizard 6214c1c540 couldn’t bring 21e5fdd9a0 himself to 4022024840 refuse. He couldn’t refuse the d035f51637 touch of the Prince, 1dd99ba915 the protagonist of the 71baf05641 story. If he tried 6c38d751b8 to twist away 0e6a928940 and escape, the fa490c48cb Prince’s fingers dug 21029e7e63 painfully into the d78e86a591 back of his cd995116e1 neck. If he 9087272028 opened his 94ae7720e6 throat to a6d2afd459 say it 1e1d94de76 hurt, to 148f954464 beg to deeb990b9e be let 19354fe964 go… the 64856c0aef Prince’s tongue, 130c977fde like a 029f169f9c snake, would 230471c896 slip into 0ae9968aec the gap 4a86c2d173 without hesitation, 4cc1a6b29d probing deeply. The wizard clenched his 3c9b310f10 eyes shut. Wasn’t he 5964025330 a wizard 2deac702ce born not 9a6b76c6a6 long ago? His crude fd8e569f8d body, made bc840f48d5 of paper d00a66bc62 and ink, b925b29fec couldn’t withstand c0cd56afe2 such stimulation. He felt 35c2cb736b like he 1174f00ee7 might vomit 041343695f thick, black 636db2bbfd ink at 528641daa9 any moment, 888de9de44 collapsing into 37384ea7c1 a pile f9e1d402ad of thousands ea3870452c of paper a272e9fec5 sheets right 9f4e5002f4 there.bf44175fb68e49d5

The wizard barely f40149630f managed to lift 0b0e628775 his eyelids. Through his 49cc0d7080 blurred vision, 7a860438ba clouded by 5cda44a544 lack of 4aed3e26f0 breath, he 501c2d32ec saw the b97f56a292 flower crown 782402f42c rolling on 88e11c086c the ground.

The wizard pushed the 6839da2a42 Prince away with all 9612f1b536 his strength. He rolled off 5aa32279a5 the Prince and 828a041bbd knelt on the 68a7ac8783 grass, collapsing forward. The startled b3f792b240 Prince placed 9ba45c754d a hand 11a9d70229 on the 2dd8dc8a56 wizard’s shoulder, 6e9c6c4979 but the 0c1f3e4153 wizard shook 3cd2e23a8d it off 44df5643ad violently. His back arched, dafc886082 and with a 8cf23e0cf3 violent cough, black 0401733c08 lumps gushed out 8e59b374b8 of his mouth.9bc2ab02e3c6646c

Not just bd96740e32 from his cbe37b368e mouth, but 68241e24a6 black liquid c37bae1077 streamed from 1790851e0c his tears 928802c4b7 as well, b39d18c874 staining his 0be1cd0651 pale cheeks. The Prince could do 1edeb3c7f3 nothing but pat the 44fe119a4f wizard’s back. Only after the wizard 40b3f9d8de had stopped retching, leaving 2da797487e the green grass stained cc290dde6b black, did he finally 88a63d71ab calm down.593242033bf8df55

The wizard looked at d0d4034110 the black masses he d7902bc0f7 had vomited. He gazed 1ce10881dc at the d71d01b13c earth, now 42ea307682 darkened by 2394ae13a6 his fluids. He looked at 61cf01fc91 the grass and b0fae626de flowers withering rapidly. Just as e4b73080f4 the ground 84c38651fb had rusted b8f76be132 red after 5cc81919da drinking the 4ad52fdd9a giant’s blood, 183b3f623c this land, 648f96b002 soaked in 93b53cbd00 his fluids, aa9081aefa would likely ebe85a73a9 remain charred 3db00b3c3a black for 0300e11266 hundreds of 67952bb609 years.

“Are you okay?”e8e8ff8d74328e01

The Prince asked. The wizard c4cd8857db wiped his ef34818755 ruined face e64b59ea34 with the e200d4886f wide sleeve 36c4d4dbb3 of his d0f63718aa robe. He looked back at 67f79dbe3d the Prince. The Prince’s 3515a1930e face seemed 2e57f6bed7 to show e7b5d4a777 a hint 8084d161d7 of regret. The wizard smiled. What are 3f912c63c5 you regretting, 2960a8ae7a Your Highness? The kiss? There’s nothing for 75a6a65195 you to regret. Especially if it 458274a66f was a kiss.7bf9d4018059a549

The Prince couldn’t 9633af0c64 finish his sentence 98c382d157 and pressed his 68e911d0b7 lips together. Then he 36195d433b reached out.

The Prince instinctively 0b2187e942 hunched his shoulders. He could feel 8d503108db his finger being 4b50ac028f moistened inside the c0e89864da wizard’s mouth.
