Chapter Six

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.

~ Seneca

As Dax readjusted to his surroundings, he noticed that Trakon was looking at him expectantly, waiting to hear what he had discovered.

“I know how the Orb was made, as well as how Jessa got the staff,” he said. He then told them what he had seen, sharing the visions with Drakthira as he did so. When he reached the end of the tale, Trakon lowered his head in sadness while Drakthira growled deep in her chest.

“Is there a way we can get a staff from you as well, Aarlian?” Dax asked.

Before the godling could answer, Trakon shook his head. “It won’t do any good, Dax,” he began. “The staff is a part of the spell, that’s true, but even if we are able to get another, we would still be missing a vital piece of the puzzle.”

“What do you mean? What piece? We already know where the Orb is.” Dax said.

“So far it looks like Jessa used at least three different sources of magic to create the Orb.” He held up one finger. “First, she used the Blood of the Mountain within her to create the Orb.” Holding up another finger, he continued, “Second, she used the Myste, which she captured and held within the Orb.” He held up a final finger. “And third, she used the life magic within the staff.”

Dax continued to look at him blankly. “And…?”

“And then there are the intangibles. Why did she cast the spell? Was it out of love? Out of fear? Or simply because she was lonely, or maybe a combination of all? You see, intangibles are just as important as the actual components of the spell if you want to undo it. Unless, of course, you can find a source of power greater than the spell itself and simply rip it apart,” he explained.

“So you are saying that unless we can find a power greater than that used to create the spell, we first have to know the reasoning behind the spell?” Dax asked incredulously.

“Yes, that’s exactly right. Not only that, but even if we take possession of the Orb, that alone will not guarantee that we also possess the Blood of the Mountain. I suspect we would need our own supply of that as well,” the old man continued.

Sensing Daxon’s frustration, Drakthira cut in and asked, In a perfect world, wizard, what would be the easiest and safest way to destroy the Orb and free the dragons?

Trakon didn’t answer at first, simply gazed off, staring at nothing. Finally, he said, “The easiest way to break the spell is to have the one who originally cast the spell to undo it.”

“You mean Jessa?” Dax asked, his voice rising in frustration. “We don’t even know if she is still alive! According to the history of Goldspine, Jessa lived over six hundred years ago.” He ran his hand through his hair, careful not to prick himself with the quills lying beneath it. He paced back and forth, and then suddenly stopped.
