Chapter 7: Best-laid plans

Wanda, Snifflewort, Stirling and I made our way to where Gaia and Randalf were sitting and joined them.

"Ah, excellent well, Virum. I see you found Wanda and Randalf, but where is Will? And wherefore are Snifflewort and Stirling here?"

"I spoke to Will. He may still be in the fairy glade and might be trying to get them to help still. Snifflewort, Stirling and Wanda were sharing cookies and were still together when I found them. I thought that perhaps Snifflewort, also being a magic user could help, and Stirling wanted to help too. He had an idea of smashing the amber, which I don't think will work, but it might."

"Yea, yea, smash!" Stirling interrupted.

The rest of us chuckled.

"Hey, Stirling," I asked. "Can you do something for me? I need you to bring someone here that I forgot to talk to."

"Uh, ok. Who?"

"Tovias Faraday, the mage champion. You know who he is, right? He usually wears a grey cloak."

"Yea, yea, yea. I go get him." Stirling turned, making his way to the Order of the Sun encampment.

"And, Stirling?" I called out after him. "Be gentle. Don't drag him back here unless you have to."

Turning back to the others, I asked Gaia, "So, have you come up with any ideas as to how Gabriel's mind, spirit and soul can be taken out of the amber and put back into his body, which is now mine?"

"Well, Randalf and I have one idea, but it requires a lot of magic, and it might not even work. If we knew how Gabriel had put himself into the amber, it would be easier to know how to get him out."

"Ah yes. What is your plan, then?" I asked, eager to hear it.

Randalf replied in his steady tone, "First, we must place the amber in an acid solution to soften it. This should make it easier for Gabriel to get out. Secondly, we must chant a spell in order to call Gabriel out. Thirdly, we must have you hold the amber and hopefully Gabriel will move out of the amber and back into your body. However, as Gaia mentioned, this will take a lot of magic. What she didn't mention is that if it doesn't work, Gabriel might be stuck forever."

"If that's the case, perhaps we should wait until Tovias arrives. As he is Mage champion, perhaps he'll have something that will help."

Chapter 6: Preparations

Wandering Bristol, I kept an eye open for Randalf the Blue. While Wanda and Will would be useful, I thought a more experienced wizard would be worth more. I found him near a wooden statue that bore a slight resemblance to him, excepting it was not dressed in blue. Approaching him cautiously, showing him the respect that one should show their elders, I humbly asked, "Randalf? Might I have a word with you?"

"Why certainly, young one. I'm always glad to speak to visitors to Bristol. Have a seat," he replied, gesturing to the benches near the statue."

"Thank you. I have a somewhat odd request to make of you. You see, last year, there was a young gentleman by the name of Gabriel that visited Bristol. He helped the Band of the Twisted Claw defeat Lady Tso's plot, but while traveling home, another group of the Draco Disciples ambushed him. With his final moments of consciousness, he was able to store some part of himself in a piece of amber. Somehow, I am a body living without a soul. As Gabriel put it when he somehow spoke with me, I am but a shell."

"I see. That is quite a story. But, what is your request?"

"Ah, yes. While I am Virum, I am also Gabriel in some aspects of myself. Currently, Gaia has the amber, and we are trying to determine a way to get Gabriel from the amber back into his body, which is also my body. However, we want to do so without losing my experiences. Can you meet Gaia at the Lunar Tribe encampment and discuss any ideas you have with her?"

"I suppose I can do so. It is an odd request, but one that I would like to help out with."

"Grammercy. I need find the Spellworthy siblings. They too are magic users, and while young, have much knowledge. Will knows much of various beings, mythical and otherwise, and Wanda has had training with the Band , prior to training as a warrior with the barbarians. We will speak later, and once again, thank you for your time and help."

"Oh, it's no trouble at all. It will be good to exercise and experiment."
