Svana

There is great evil in the world, but there is also great good. As long as one believes in the purity and sincerity of magic, there will always be good. It is when that magic is abused that evil wins. Always take care with magic then, children. If you take care of it, it will take care of you.

Eonnueth, The Clever, Sixth Dragon Elder, Seventh Age of Verdil

Svana rubbed her temple. She was growing greatly discouraged. There would be no way for them to break free from their prison without the help of a certain kind of magic. The kind of magic that Hekla was capable of with her dragon, Speltus. They had been able to accomplish insurmountable things, and even as Svana thought that, she wished she could send word to her sister.

Furthermore, when they had met the king, she noticed the same madness that had been present in King Armand. She wondered if there was a dark wizard in Aequoris like there had been in Telluris. And if that was the case, is that where her sister was? She frowned. That was the biggest question on her mind. Where was Hekla? She visited the island, and Hekla wasn’t there. Instead, Aequoran guards came and took her away. They were dragged through the city and to the castle to meet with the king. If Hekla was in the city, she would have seen that. Perhaps Hekla was investigating the mysterious dark wizard controlling the king—if that was indeed the case.

“Are you doing all right?” Jakobe asked as they sat next to each other in the orb.

“Well, aside from being stuck in here with you all day, I suppose so.”

“Would you rather be stuck with someone else?” Jakobe asked.

Svana smiled. “That’s not what I meant.”

“I’m sorry I’m not more useful. I cannot do magic like your dragon.”

Svana sighed. “We need to get out of here, but I know without this contraption around us, we die.”

“Yes, we need to find a way to escape,” he replied.

“I need my sister,” she said, a certain tone of heaviness to her voice.

I need my dragon, she said in her mind. Svana didn’t want Jakobe to know just how worried she was about her guide.

“I know, you do,” he replied. “We’re going to get out of here, I promise you.”

“How’s that? Are you magical and you didn’t tell me?” she asked, elbowing him gently and smiling.

“Only when you’re around,” he replied with a wink.

“That’s almost funny,” she said.

“I know.” He grinned, his dark eyes turning serious the next moment. “So, first thing is first, we need to get out of this cell.”

“And how do you propose we do that?” she asked, turning her head slightly to admire his solid form. “Your muscles won’t work down here, you know.”

“Well, maybe I can’t break open the bars with my bare hands, but what if we could propel this contraption forward hard enough to bust through the bars?”

“And how do you propose we do that?” Her head tilted towards him incredulously.
