MINK COATS?!!

Thud! Soarame fell over to the floor, barely conscious.

‘Soarame, wake up!’ A figure rushed forward and picked the boy up, putting him on to a couch.

‘What…’ Soarame gradually gained consciousness, blinking his eyes. The overwhelming pain all over his body seemed to be gone, but he was feeling extremely tired. ‘Aertiuno? What happened?’

‘Boy, who are you after all?’ Aertiuno didn’t answer Soarame’s question. He sized the boy up and down, with shock and bewilderment in his shining blue eyes. ‘How the heck could you…’

‘Aertiuno, what’s going on?’ Soarame finally cleared his mind. He was surprised to find himself back in Aertiuno’s castle, with no wounds on his body at all. Furthermore, he thought that his clothes had been torn off in the battle with the vines and bugs, but they were all intact now.

‘You were in an illusion — created and manipulated by me.’ Aertiuno had to explain. ‘Everything that you think you saw and suffered was not real. It was just a fake scene in your mind, as a result of my mind attack.’

‘An illusion?’ Soarame was in shock; but he had to believe this after checking his body over and over again. ‘So I’ve lost to your persuasive whisper, after all?’

‘Yes, and no.’ Aertiuno sighed. ‘You did lose your mind defence as you were distracted by my question, so that I managed to invade your mind ocean and make all the illusion happen. However, you didn’t lose the illusional battle…’ He tailed off.

Shit… Soarame recalled the details in the illusional battle — he’d summoned the Godmade back there. Strangely, the big tree had been demanding the Godmade in the beginning, but it seemed that it didn’t recognize the broadsword. This had been confusing Soarame since he’d noticed it, but there was an even bigger problem — the boy was wondering, first of all, if his secret about the Godmade was still a secret to Aertiuno. ‘Could you see my illusion yourself?’

‘I was the one to create your illusion and manipulate it.’ Aertiuno certainly understood the true question between Soarame’s words. ‘So, I could not only see it but also guide it.’

‘So…’ Soarame was not sure what to say next.

‘I’m sorry, Soarame. I shouldn’t have done that, and I didn’t mean to. I was simply curious to test your limit.’ Aertiuno looked frustrated. ‘Now I know why Chelonad didn’t tell me what you did to him yesterday. I’ll keep your secret just like he did.’

‘Thank you!’ Soarame heaved a sigh of relief at this. ‘What were those bugs and trees anyway? Especially the big talking one in the middle?’

‘Don’t worry about them. They were just a part of the illusion.’ Aertiuno hurriedly said. ‘I won’t be talking about any of this from now on, and neither will you. Deal?’

‘Deal.’ Soarame puzzled for a second before he nodded — Aertiuno’s tone reminded him of Chelonad. It seemed that there was a whole long story behind this, but Soarame didn’t have time to pursue it at that moment.

Walking out of the castle, Soarame still couldn’t get over the vivid illusion Aertiuno had made.
