Chapter Twenty-Nine

Alex couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Where Nina had been standing, A five-foot snake was curling up on the floor. Did the Wizard just change her into a snake, he wondered. But he hadn’t seen Viljan do anything.

The Wizard had a look of revolt on his face as he looked down at the snake. The guards on either side of the Wizard took a step back as they eyed the snake curled on the floor with horror.

“Disgusting creature!” the Wizard said.

With a final glance towards Alex, the Wizard turned on his heel and left the room, followed by the guards. The door closed firmly behind them.

Alex walked over to the bars separating Nina’s cell from his. He dropped down to one knee and looked at the snake. The creature had curled up into a tight spiral. Had Nina been turned into a snake, he wondered again.

Alex was about to stand up when he noticed the snake was starting to glow with the golden light again. The glow brightened, and a moment later, Nina had reappeared. The Princess was curled up on the floor where the snake had been. She was sobbing softly.

“Are you alright?” Alex asked.

The Princess looked up at him and then down at her body. With a mournful cry she stood up and then ran to the cot. She threw herself down, face first on the bed, sobbing into the blanket.

Alex stood up and gave her a moment to cry. This was a new kind of magic for him. The girl had changed into a snake!

“Princess are you alright?” he asked again.

“No! I will never be all right!” she wailed.

“Is there anything I can do to help you?” Alex said.

“No one can help my shame!” she said softly.

Alex tried to understand what she meant. He remembered that Commander Vettel had said that the sister was strange. Was she like a werewolf, he wondered. Except she turned into a snake instead of a wolf?

The guards had backed away from her in horror when she had transformed. The look the Wizard had given her was one of pure disgust.

Princess Nina let out a deep sigh. She sat up on the cot, wiping the tears from her eyes.

“I understand if you do not wish to speak to me anymore,” she said softly.

Alex looked at her in confusion. Nina stood up and dragged her cot as far away from Alex’s cage as she could. The legs made a scrapping sound across the stone floor.

“What are you doing?” Alex asked with a frown.

“I am sorry you are stuck in the same room with me. I can’t get any farther away from you,” she said woodenly as she sat down on the cot.

The Princess sat there dejectedly; her shoulders slumped. She had a faraway look in her eyes.

“Princess, why would I not want to talk to you. Why would I want to get far away from you,” Alex asked in confusion.

“Because of my shame,” she said softly, avoiding his gaze.

Alex finally realized that she meant her transformation magic.
