Chapter 4: Meeting with the Grobliques.

Nexis: I have an idea that could work, but for it to be effective, Xalrath would have to disappear.

Xalrath and Fayra, surprised by the suggestion of Nexis, exclaimed: What!?!

Fayra, a little destabilized, replied: But what does you take to say things like that? How can you say that he must withdraw?

Nexis then tried to reassure his sister: don't worry, he will not disappear forever ... It is simply a necessary time for his resurrection.

Fayra, a little lost, asked: "To his resurrection? »»

Nexis explained to him slowly: "Yes ... from what I heard, a curse weighs on this lake, which holds him here. »»

"But, if I manage to absorb the curse that weighs on this lake, as I do with this boy ... We could release this place and Xalrath at the same time, right? »»

Fayra, full of joy, brought her hands closer with her face and exclaimed: "Ah, but it's fantastic ... he will be able to be saved! »»

Nexis replied with delicacy: "Yes, but that is not quite that. »»

Fayra, a little lost, asked by an air perplexed: how that?

Nexis, hastened to explain to them: if the curse maintains Xalrath prisoner only inside the lake, it may be possible to alter or physically destroy the area that holds it back.

So, if I absorb Xalrath, I will also absorb the whole lake. In this way, I could analyze the curse that weighs on this lake while hosting Xalrath in my body.

Amazed by the idea proposed by Nexis, they remained speechless. Fayra, all surprised, asked him: How do you know that?

Nexis replied slowly: I know, that's all.

However, he thought in himself: (I can't tell him that the idea comes from Astra, she would probably not understand.)

Returning to the subject, he turned to Xalrath and asked him: So what do you think?

Xalrath reflects for a moment, then replied: Yes, why not?

His response amazed Nexis: Oh?!

Xalrath was nicely added: after all, staying locked in your stomach could not be worse than staying here in this cave.

"I bored so alone in this place, and I have fully confidence in you for the future. »»

Nexis drove a smile of satisfaction, then stretched his right hand to the lake and Xalrath saying: "I thank you ... I promise to bring you back among us very soon. »»

Astra then asked a question to Nexis: do you want to absorb the lake in its entirety?

Nexis simply replied: Yes.

Astra continued: activation of absorption power.

Thick black smoke escaped from Nexis' hand, engulfing the whole lake as well as Xalrath. Stay silent in front of the lake, he thought internally: I swear to bring you back among us, Xalrath.

His sister, visibly surprised, turned to her brother with a touch of sadness and asked him: Do you know where Xalrath went?

Her brother answered him hesitantly: I don't have the slightest idea ...

He looked up in heaven and added with optimism: but I am sure he will soon come back among us.

His sister replied by displaying a broad smile: you are absolutely right.

Nexis turned his gaze to his sister, radiating with the same joy, then he exclaimed with enthusiasm: well, it is time to leave this cave and to explore these worlds.

His sister interrupted him with fun saying: Do you plan to go out naked?

It was at this precise moment that I realized that I did not have clothes on me. A few minutes later, we left the cave to explore the forest. I had finally found my form of blob, because Fayra is not very skillful in sewing. So I chose to return to my original form.

That said, it's pretty practical!

_ It's been two weeks now since the disappearance of Xalrath, and I wonder what he can do well at this time and where he could be. My sister and I spent a lot of time exploring the forest, and it was very enriching.

_ I managed to acquire new skills, which was really pleasant. We have faced many creatures in the woods, and I think it allowed me to become even stronger. Our daily life would be even more peaceful without some unforeseen events that we have met.

Nexis: What is these creatures?

In front of them was a group of grobliques, whose appearance was rather deplorable. They were neither very muscular nor well armed.

Fayra observed them, then whispered to her brother: *Do you know these creatures? *

Nexis replied: *I have no idea. *

The leader of the group then spoke in a trembling voice, shock hands: "Do not move ... and tell us who you are. »»

Nexis whispered gently with his sister: *I think it would be preferable for us. *

Fayra, with a warm smile, then spoke: hello, I am sorry to have scared you. My name is Fayra and here is my brother, Nexis.

She presented her brother that she held in her arms, and he also addressed a salvation: Huh ... Hello.

Fayra's voice was so soothing that they remained in love, but their aura was so powerful that she frightened them.

Panic, they all knew each other in front of them, and their leader said: Please apologize, please don't hurt us.

A little disoriented, Nexis and his sister remained perplexed, without really understanding. So Nexis spoke and asked them: but why did you kneel? I'm just a blob accompanied by my sister.

The leader replied with a certain kindness: do not make the innocent, you release a very powerful aura, it is clear that you are not ordinary people.

Nexis, intrigued, let go: an aura?!

Fayra, perplexed, added: What is this jargon?

The leader continued with a smile: although your clothes were in poor condition, you seem really very powerful.

Fayra, not understanding it all, replied: you are mistaken, I'm just an apprenticeship witch, I can't ...

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the chief of the Groblique troop who declared: 'No, we do not make a mistake ...' '

Fayra reacts with a little 'ah!'

The leader of the group of Grobelic continued: 'You must be an accomplished witch.'

Nexis, surprised, thought: (an accomplished witch?!)

Astra replied: (an accomplished witch, who is also called mage.)

Nexis exclaimed internally: (mage?!)

Astra: (that's right, these are individuals who have managed to master the basics of magic and who access more advanced forms.)

Nexis: (What do you mean by that?)

Astra: (she has the ability to control the elements, create illusions and launch curses.)

Nexis, surprised and enthusiastic, replied: (Wait, my sister is really scanned!)

Then, the leader of the group of Grobelique lowered his head towards the ground and said: please help us save our village.

Given their situation, they really looked desperate.

[Nexis] Given their condition, we had no choice but to follow them to their village. That said, we don't know what might expect in this place.
