Chapter 29
“You are the only one that can release me. I have been in this horn for many, many years. The council cleared me to be released 500 years ago, and Myria and the other mage like you were going to do it, but she disappeared the day before. Please, mage Tom, sir, I have done my punishment,” Frilly begged, almost in a little girl whining voice.
Sighing, Tom now knew that things were getting complicated. “You’ll have to give me a few days. I have to research this so I do it right. I need to talk to the two members who remember how you were banned to the horn,” Tom replied.
Frilly nodded her acknowledgment. Tom was starting to wonder if this was going to be as easy as he thought it was going to be.
Almost a week later, Frilly stood before Tom. Everything he’d learned had him a little worried. In order to bring Myria back to her former self, it was going to require that someone almost die if not just outright die.
Frilly’s condition required a massive amount of energy, which he’d been storing all week. Sighing, Tom went over everything that he would have to do. Damn it, he wished there was some other way of doing this.
“Frilly, I have worked on this all week. From everything I found, this will almost kill you. I wanted you to know in case you wanted to back out,” Tom said.
“Tom, sir, I have waited a long, long time for you to come along. If there is any chance, any at all, I will take it. I was in love at the time. I want to be again. So, to ask me if I wish to remain like this, the answer is a resounding hell no!” she almost shouted.
“Alright, I just wanted you to know if this doesn’t work, I’ll feel guilty for a long time,” Tom said.
“No, Tom. If I die, then I’ll still be free. Know that one way or another, I won’t be in this prison anymore,” Frilly said, a smile on her face.
Tom started the long process. Frilly shook when the power hit her, a smile plastered to her face. Ten minutes later, Frilly started screaming. It felt as if she was being ripped apart. Tom tried his best to not let the magic waver. Frilly was in extreme pain; the splitting was becoming a more and more real feeling. Time seemed to almost stop when Frilly noticed her body was glowing. It was getting harder and harder to breathe. Looking at Tom, she saw he was concentrating as hard as she had ever seen him. Passing out, Tom was grateful as her body suddenly split and also started to grow. Almost 45 minutes after he’d started, two bodies were on the ground beside each other. Finally, he’d done it! Leaning over both of them, Tom saw that the second was okay but unconscious. Frilly had stopped breathing and lay still. Damn it! He wasn’t going to lose her!
