Chapter 71


    Melinda’s POV


    Ares is in the castle somewhere but what about Helios then? Where is he? Perhaps Ares can trace


    him.. I hope so..


    Mia sensed him and she went to look for him, she guided us up in the castle. we walked a lot of stairs


    and I looked at the paintings on the way there and it was one painting I needed to remember. I need to


    look at that one againter on.


    Mia stopped at a door that led to a tower, well the only tower in the castle.


    “Are you sure he is in there?” the king asked and Mia nodded.


    “Yes, I can feel his aura in there and..” Mia said but stopped as the door opened and a very confused


    looking Ares stood there.


    It was just one problem though…


    ARES POV


    I tried to move around carefully and I discovered that I was still in the castle somewhere, I couldn’t just


    figure out where. Everything seemed strange here. I found a small hole and I looked out and noticed


    that I was high up.


    In the forbidden tower? Can it be so simple? A mage used to live in this tower, like a witch but he used


    potions to create magic or something like that. I can see some bottles over there and a few papers and


    a guy in the corner.


    A guy in the corner?!


    “Who are you?” I ask and I am suddenly surprised how my voice sounds.


    “I am the greatest wizard of them all…” the guy says and I stare at him.


    “If you tell me that your name is Merlin I will kick your a*s” I say and my voice still sounds strange


    The guyughs and coughs


    “No, no I was just teasing you. My name is Luca and I was the mage of this tower once in time”


    “Wait but then you are over 500 years old!” I say excited.


    “Oh has it been that long already?” Luca says and I sigh


    “Well can you help and perhaps get some light in here?” I ask


    “Sure I can do something about that” Luca says and I can hear him open a bottle and then there is a


    little ball of light inside the room.


    It is indeed the tower now that the light is on and I can see more clearly. But as I look around I can see


    that everything is quite big. Even the mage, Luca, is quiterge but he seems young for his age.


    “So what is a kid doing in here and how did youe in here? There is a spell surrounding this tower.


    so not anyone cane in here” Luca says and looks curious at me.


    “I am no child!” And I am one of the princes’ of this kingdom” I say and stand up just to discover that I


    am not taller than


    “1


    Luca even though he is sitting down.


    I look down at my hands and see that they are small and so are the rest of my body. I feel my face and


    then I look around for a mirror and Luca points at one and I walk over to it, afraid to look in it.


    But I have to see and when I open my eyes and go straight for the mirror I get furious. They changed


    me into a small child, it looks like I am about six years old.


    “What in the hell?” I say and sit down.


    “Oh this isn’t your natural look then?” Luca asks and stands up and I shake my head.


    “No, I am a grown man already and I have a mate as well.” I say and shake my head.


    “Oh that is good” Luca says and nods his head.


    So how do I get out of this tower? I need to do that so I can protect my mate. And stop a blo ody war.” I


    say and look at Luca.


    “A war you say?” There are plenty of wars in the world and even if you and this kingdom manage to


    stop one there will always be another. “Luca say but shows me a door that leads to a staircase


    “Come with me” I say and point downwards.


    “I can’t leave this tower” Luca say and I shake my head


    “Yes, you can, I have witches on my side that can help you out of this tower” I exin and I can see


    some hope in his eyes.


    “Well I don’t believe that a simple witch can help me but let’s try it” Luca says and goes before me


    down the stairs.


    and


    We walk slowly as the staircase is old and some of the steps are missing and some of them break


    when we step on them. But in any case we can climb down safely and we are met by another door.


    “So this is the spell I was talking about, it is embedded inside the door and thus closing me inside ”


    Luca sighs and leans onto the wall next to the door.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    I look at the door and it looks normal so I reach for the handle, it feels normal, a bit cold like metal


    usually does. But I twist the door handle and the door opens nicely just to reveal Mia and Melinda on


    the outside.


    Dad and uncle Dave are also there and all of them looks really surprised to see me


    “Shut up, I know that I am turned into a child so don’t tease me. Melinda can you help my friend out of


    the tower?” I say and look at Melinda and she nods.


    Y


    “Well I could have but you have already done it. You broke the spell since you are of royal blood. The


    spell was designed so it could only be broken from the inside by someone with royal blood” Melinda


    exins and Luca shakes his head


    “Was it really that easy? Then I am free right now?” Luca asks and tries to take one step outside of the


    door and everyone holds their breath but nothing happens.


    “Thanks to all of you. Let me repay the favor. Here drink this and you shall be in your normal size” Luca


    says and gives me a bottle with green liquid in it.


    It looks like puke. Yummy
