Chapter 12: The Fall of Morris

“Would you just shut up?” Morris yelled at the bawling girl he was dragging away from the city. He took Crystal a good distance away before releasing her. He wanted her to get lost finding her way anywhere.

Crystal fought against him, struggling the entire way. The thought that Markus was getting killed back in the city was so dreadful she could not control the tears. More than once she called her wand to her hands, but with the way they were bound she would drop it quickly and it would vanish.

Morris got both of them over a hill and pushed her toward a thicket of trees. “There, trees, you dogs like the trees. I suppose you’ll do fine there.” He stopped and glared at her, raising his hand in a threatening position. “I said stop crying! I’m not going to hurt you.” He shoved her ahead of him and she fell down on her butt.

Crystal used her tied up hands to wipe the tears on her face. “I’m not afraid of you. I am afraid of what is happening to Markus.”

Morris gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes. “The boy? He’s probably dead by now.”

Crystal shook hard all over as she tried to control the urge to bawl. “Why are you doing this? The king is insane. He’s not even himself anymore. He is Hallond the Betrayer.”

Morris wore a ‘ah-ha’ look on his face as he walked toward her. “So, that is the lie you Rakki have been spreading? Hallond died! He was overtaken by the evilness of the dragon statue and was executed for trying to kill the king. But that did not satisfy you stupid dogs. You tried to overthrow the throne by spreading that malicious rumor.”

Crystal was dumbfounded. “Rumor? What? We didn’t spread anything. Can’t you see it? Why do you think he wanted the Dragonwand so badly? He means to complete a terrible spell that will turn all of the prisoners in the labyrinth into dark wizards…or something like that.”

Morris let out a laugh of disbelief. “You won’t give up, will you? The king has only the best interests in mind for Gallenor. But that doesn’t satisfy you, does it? You and your pathetic people mean to undermine the peace and order we hold dear. Fortunately for all of us, we were ready for you.”

Crystal heard massive explosions coming from the city even though she could not even see them from this side of the hill. “Can’t you hear it? That is a magical battle between Markus and the king, a king who was not a wizard before.”

“Don’t be stupid. The king has some magical statue things that Hallond left us. I’m sure that it’s just them taking care of your little boyfriend.” Morris walked away.

“Even if you don’t believe me, release the wizards now. The wand was found, the king has it. There is no more reason to keep them in there.” She had a plan. If he released them, Hallond couldn’t use his magic on them.
