Fable’s Charm

“Axel,” Fable said while her brother wasn’t paying attention. “Axel!” she shook him

“What is it?” Axel’s eyes were glued to Loki’s phone again. He’d decided to reread the Dreamhunters Guide in case he’d missed something. “I’m think I’ve figured out something.”

“Like what?” Fable asked.

“I think,” Axel raised his head, posing like a genius inventor, “that I know who Loki’s father is.”

“Really?” Fable said. “Who is it?”

“Let me just think about it for a minute,” Axel walked back and forth in the room. “It’s kinda impossible, but there is no other explanation.”

“Come on, Axel. Tell me,” Fable insisted.

“Not now,” Axel raised a finger. “I need to research something on the internet first. Then, if it all falls together, I swear I’ll dig Sherlock Holmes up from his grave so he and you will both know what a genius detective I am.”

“Sherlock Holmes is dead?” Fable wondered, “So sad. I thought he was really cool.”

Axel’s face reddened. He approached his sister as if he was about to eat her.

“What’s wrong, Axel?” Fable backed off. “There’s still a bag of Sticky Sweet Bones somewhere.”

“I am not hungry, Fable,” Axel grunted. “I’m angry. Sherlock Holmes isn’t even real. He is a character in a book!”

“Oh, that?” Fable laughed, “as if Snow White and the Evil Queen aren’t!”

Axel felt confused, “Well—I—never mind,” he waved his hands angrily. “We’re not going to fight over imaginary people who are actually real.”

“You’re right,” Fable patted him. “Since you’re not going to tell me who Loki’s father is, let me tell you something.”

“Ah. You were trying to say something,” Axel said. “So what is it?”

“This is a bit, if not totally, crazy,” Fable began. “So bear with me and be patient please.”

“What is it, Fable?” Axel knotted his face on purpose, trying to play Fable’s dad. “You’re not going to tell me you’re in love with someone and want to go on a date. You’re too young for this.”

“No, that’s not it,” Fable was unusually polite.

“So what is it?”

“I think I know how to free Loki from Carmilla’s Fleece,” she said. Axel wondered why she’d been so calm.

“You do? That’s awesome,” Axel said.

“It’s not that easy,” Fable said. “Let me tell how it works first. Carmilla controls Loki through the Fleece, right?” she said. “I don’t know what a Fleece is made of but I think of it as part of Loki’s soul. In this case, Carmilla is controlling him the way you control a dog with chains, creating some kind of connection, controlled by one of the two sides.”

“Can’t you just skip the details,” Axel said. “Let’s just save him now, and I promise I will do my homework myself for a week as a reward.”

“It’s not that easy, Axel. Please listen,” Fable said. “I know of a spell that can break almost any kind of bond.”

“Which will metaphorically cut the Fleece? Is that what you’re saying?”

“Yes,” Fable said. “Only in magic, it’s done in another way. The spell I know will bond me with Loki.”

“Now you lost me.
