33: Between a Rock and a Hard Place

The ancient wizards of Kumandra were a small group called 'Pria Ajaib'. This group was made up of 7 men: 4 of Tail, 2 of Fang and 1 of Heart. They were a very secretive group whose identities were not known until their demise. They practiced different powerful spells but the most significant is the power to control how people feel: sadness, joy, anger and fear. However, they only used their power to make the world a better place. Their efforts were futile and one wizard from Tail was getting frustrated. His frustration turned to anger at the other wizards who seemed to ignore his concern. He eventually turned on them and there was an intense fight among them near the great river of Tail. But that fight benefitted none and they destroyed themselves. But it was spoken of that the wizard that turned on his fellow men had a son whom he taught magic.

"No way..." exclaimed Vashi as he read.

"What is it?" asked Raya curiously.

"There were wizards in Kumandra."

"Where were they from?" asked Raya, giving Vashi her full attention.

"According to this scroll, four of Tail, one of Heart and two of Fang."

"Wow..."

"They were a small group that were actually using their power to benefit the world but it didn't really change anything and one wizard was getting sick of it and turned on the group. But he might have had a son that he taught magic to."

"That means, we might have a wizard in Kumandra! Did it state where that wizard was from?"

"No but I am pretty confident that the wizard's son probably taught his child and that child taught their child...basically passing down the tradition. And I think the most recent magician is here. I strongly believe it is Jiro." said Vashi.

Raya was shocked and asked, "What makes you think that?"

"The kind of energy that I'm feeling is...it's not just amateur magic... We cannot just kill him when he's expecting it. If this theory is true, he could unleash terrors on Kumandra before he dies. I'm going to see him about this." said Vashi.

"I'm going with you." said Raya.

"Very well, let's go." He helped up Raya and they headed to the dungeon.

"Did you enjoy our little sensual session?" asked the Chief as he and Adira both relaxed in bed.

"Mhmm." replied Adira.

She relaxed on his chest but then suddenly gasped and sat up. "Something's wrong."

"Wha-what do you mean?"

"Someone needs help...I can feel it."

She got up and just as she opened the door, a note fell. She picked it up and opened it. When she read what was on it, she gasped. "Namaari suddenly collapsed! I have to go help her!"

"Adira wait! Calm down. Let me see the note."

Adira handed it to him and after reading it through, he said, "Let's head to the infirmary."

Vashi and Raya entered the dungeon and slowly headed to Jiro's cell. They exchanged glances when they saw that there were no guards in sight. Vashi created a barrier around them as they walked and held on to Raya's hand. 

"Jiro!" He said in an aggressive tone.

There was a chuckle and Jiro said, "If it isn't the royalties. What makes you want to see good ol' Jiro?"
