When they reached Erogat’s cave, he wasn’t anywhere in sight. Dana had called him via the communication crystal in advance, and had told them they were about to stop by. She’d hoped he would be waiting for him.

“Hopefully, he’s not angry with us.” She turned to Gomek. “I’ve tried to tell him that it was our parents fault we couldn’t stop by sooner. Maybe he didn’t understand? I am not sure.”

She looked around. “Well, let’s go look for him. He must be around somewhere.”

After her words, they started searching for Erogat. Naturally, they found him in his library. He seemed distant, and absorbed in one of the thick books Dana had gotten from the blacksmith.

Every time she entered the room, she had to squeeze past the nook that harbored Erogat’s body. The body was bathed in a magical blue light that kept him from deteriorating. Dana thought it looked like Erogat was merely sleeping. Still, they sight sent shivers down her spine every tie. When she had almost reached him, she cleared her throat to get his attention. He flinched in surprise.

“Oh, it’s just you guys! You scared me. I was so wrapped up in this book, I forgot everything around me. That’s the downside of not having to drink or eat – you forget about the time. And what was it you experienced?”

Dana started a detailed report of their adventures. Of course, she didn’t forget to go into every detail of the fight with the snake. Naturally, she emphasized that they had only managed to succeed as a team.

“That would only leave one question…” Dana looked at him expectantly. “Why was the snake that much lighter after the reduction spell? Why didn’t it keep the same weight it had originally? Per her new size, she was rather light. I noticed it when we were taking care of the landslide, where I shrunk the rocks.”

“It’s simple, really. During the shrinking “spell”, you change the gravitational powers of the reduced body. Our planet is administering gravitational powers on every object, which gives them their weight. You change this power when you shrink the objects, and, thus they get lighter. It happens automatically”, Erogat explained to her.

“Ohhhh!”, she mimicked. Dana hadn’t understood it completely, but she let it go. She wanted to learn more about what else was new, if Erogat had found more information that would help them with their impending task.

“Oh, yes. First of all: the crystal on the top of the mountain. He is not from this planet.”

Erogat moved over to the image wall and gestured his hands around, until an image of the mountaintop and the crystal appeared.

“How did you do that? You’ve never been up there with us.” Dana watched the projection with fascination.

“Easy”, Erogat chuckled. “Everything you send to me gets recorded. Either as moved pictures or a still image!”, he proudly explained.

“Very near. And what exactly is it now? What does it do and how can we turn it off?”, Dana inquired.

Erogat thought for a moment.
