CHAPTER VIII

No matter how hard Isolde tried, she couldn't get the goblins to freeze. Ama kept yelling at her "just click your fingers and believe," but nothing seemed to work. Every time she tried to focus, the goblins would rush at her with their razor teeth and iron blades and she would freeze up or panic.

"It's no use," Isolde screamed and threw her hands into the air.

"It's not easy," Ama reassured her, "maybe you don't have the strength your mother did."

The words burned into Isolde's mind and she felt her teeth grind under her tense jaw.

Ama snapped her fingers and the goblins sprang back to life. They were screaming and squawking, barring their needle teeth and glaring with coal-red eyes. Isolde saw them rushing, their iron blades intent on the kill. She took a deep breath and clicked her fingers. But nothing happened, the greenskins whooped, they were only seconds away, she felt her heart falter and clicked again. Nothing. It was too late, she whipped her sword from its scabbard and slashed out at the goblins. The first slash opened up the face of the leader, and the second sent blood spraying out of another and into the grass. And then they stopped. Ama had clicked her finger and the goblins were motionless, frozen in action, each ready to slice or stab her.

"Swords don't win wars," she said, "but brains do."

"What am I supposed to do?" Isolde called out as she followed the old woman.

"I don't know," Ama snapped, "maybe if we rip that stone out your shoulder. Yes... maybe then..."
