Stone of Tears

Chapter 6: Wifes Of Margrave

Our heroes left Nemeth. The compass led them to Odin's kingdom. Merlin had his bad feelings again. Shota tried her vision power, but she could not see anything. Zedd thought it was because of the magic. They went back a little and Shota tried again. They discovered someone held Odin in prison. Kahlan, Cara, Zedd, and Richard knew him. That person was Margrave. He captured Odin and took his kingdom. Our heroes supposed he used that magic shield again. All who had magic, it did not matter what kind of magic, cannot use it. They needed the plan to enter the castle, kill Margrave and free Odin. Arthur put a ring on his finger and saw his mother. They talked to each other the others thought they were mad. Balinor and Zedd recognized the ring. Zedd and Balinor charmed the rings to see each other and they explained previous events.

"Odin is the prisoner of Margrave," said Uther.

"Margrave took Odin's kingdom," said Arthur.

"And it's funny that all who use magic cannot use it in the castle," said Kahlan.

"Me, Zedd, Freya, Shota, Kahlan, Dennee, Cara, Denna, Rahl, Annalina, Verna, Nicci, and Gwen won't be able to use it," said Merlin.

"And what can you do without magic?" said Balinor.

"That's a protection spell that cannot destroy it," said Gaius.

Cara and Denna said, "When we find this man, Kahlan will confess him."

"Margrave needs a wife," said Kahlan.

"Again?" said Richard. "We choose the same strategy we used last time?"

"I am not a princess," said Cara.

"You will wear your clothes," said Zedd.

"Father," said Arthur, "find the armor of Camelot for almost all men except Merlin, Zedd, and Cenred. And for Gwen, Denna, Shota, Dennee, Freya and Kahlan and Nicci, Cara has what you can wear."

"Eight wives?" said Ygraine.

"Only one will be Margrave's wife," said Nicci.

"Don't say nice words about each other," said Shota. "We must be cruel."

Balinor sent them their clothes. Now the party began. They talked about what they would do in the castle, and after that, they went to sleep. In the morning, they entered the castle of Odin that was under Margrave's control. He was happy to hear eight wives come to his castle to marry him. He forgot about scouts and did not expect a trap. They dyed Darken Rahl's hair blonde and after that, they entered the castle. They could not laugh at the things they would say to the other potential princesses.

"Who are you?" said Margrave. "I suppose you must be my eight wives."

"I am the King of Camelot," said Arthur. "Where's Odin? My father allied with all kingdoms and Odin didn't come to Camelot."

"He died. I replaced him. I am his uncle."

"This is Merlin, my serving boy, Cenred is my bodyguard, and these are my bravest knights of Camelot, and Zedd..."

"My pet," said Shota.

"So can you tell me something about yourselves?"

"My husband is a rat," said Gwen. "I caught him with another in our bed. I can be your wife. I am a princess."
