The Wistys the octopus in charge of reincarnation, isnt it? Lindyss asked, looking at the sunlike runes on Vurs arm. The runes flashed, and a red rock with ruby eyes appeared on Vurs shoulder. It had sticklike arms and legs.
Thats right, Sheryl said. Whenever soone dies, their soul finds the Wisty. The Wisty eats their mories, and the soul is free to be reborn. If youre one of the Wistys favorite creatures like a fairy or an elental, you dont forget everything; you can pick which mory is eaten.
So, why is it attacking the tower? Kim Hajun asked. The insect-type Oebu Sin were attracted to insect gold. The severed hand saw an opportunity to strike. The cephalopod, which the variables from Erde were calling the Wisty, well, he never discovered its motives. Perhaps in his prophetic dream, Malvina or Volearden wanted to establish a portal back to Erde and triggered the Wistys rage, making it attack the tower.
My goodness, Erin said. Its like youre not even paying attention. The fairy queen placed her hands on her hips and glared at the well-dressed man. The Wisty eats mories of souls. If people die in the tower, it cant access those souls to eat their mories. Your tower is taking away our Wistys food.
Kim Hajuns expression darkened. Why did the tower suddenly beco his? It wasnt like he was the lord of the tower. If anyone were to bla, itd be Vur. He was in charge of the towers, and he was the one who opened the portal back to Erde.
How troubleso, Malvina said, placing her hands on her hips. After observing the tentacle on the display, she turned to look at the two fairies and elental. Since youre the Wistys favorites, why dont you go outside and ask it to let us establish a connection between Erde and the tower?
Oh, yeah, Erin said, nodding her head. Ill go out there and talk to its leg. She rolled her eyes. Thatll solve the problem. Everyone knows the Wistys ears are just for show.
For a creature smaller than my talon clippings, you sure do have a lot of sass, Malvina said, squinting her eyes at the fairy.
Erin blinked before smiling sweetly at the polymorphed phoenix. Do you want to see sothing?
Malvina blinked. She knew better than to
I command you to aid my magic, Erin said without giving Malvina a chance to respond. Polymorph!
Malvina stiffened as her body shrank down to Erins size in an instant. Then, her body shrank down even further until she was no taller than Erins pinky toe. A second later, she gasped as the fairy queens toe grew massive in stature, towering over her like a mountain. The pesky creature had polymorphed her to the size of less than a fairys toenail clipping! Of course, she had only done it with the help of Malvinas own mana, but it was still the fairy queens spell that had stolen the phoenixs mana in the first place, so it was still her doing! Malvina furrowed her brow as she closed her eyes, undoing the polymorph spell on her body, returning to a normal size. She mightve only been small for a brief mont, but it was still unpleasant.
Voleardens gaze switched back and forth between Malvina and Erin. He tilted his head. Since when could a fairy put a phoenix in a compromising situation? Not just any phoenix, but Malvina, the queen of the phoenixes. If Erin could polymorph Malvina, it ant she could polymorph him as well. Volearden nodded to himself and kept his mouth shut, deciding against offering advice to the group like Malvina had.
Instead of commanding , Malvina said to Erin, you should command the Wisty to let us through, and dont give that nonsense about its leg not having ears. You can always follow its leg up to its head.
No wonder why birdbrained is another word for stupid person, Erin said, nodding her head.
Malvina frowned. Who are you calling stupid? she asked. Whats wrong with my idea?
How do you think the Wisty collects souls? Erin asked. Its tentacles pass through the world of the living and the dead. The only way to follow its tentacle all the way back to its head is if you can die and co back to life as you please.
So, youre saying I have to do it? Malvina asked, tilting her head.
Erin blinked. Phoenixes did die and co back to life, but. Arent you reborn in your ashes as a baby when you die? the fairy queen asked. How long will it take for you to reach the Wistys head?
Malvina shrugged. In the first place, I dont speak octopus, so it wouldnt have worked out.
We can send Kim Hajun, Lindyss said, glancing at the well-dressed man. His eyes widened like a deer in headlights as everyone turned to look at him.
Kim Hajun swallowed. I, uh, dont have to ability to die and co back to life as I please, he said.
I know, Lindyss said, nodding her head.
A shiver ran down Kim Hajuns spine. If she knew he didnt satisfy the requirents, then what exactly was she planning? The well-dressed man cleared his throat. I alsohe glanced at Malvina before looking at Lindyssdont speak octopus.
Thats fine, Lindyss said, causing Kim Hajuns lips to contort into a sad-looking smile. The cursed elf shifted her gaze onto the tentacle on the display. Well figure out the details as we go.
Kim Hajun fell silent. After a bit, he asked, Can we figure them out now? Please?
