The Celebration for the King's return was over. After the guests – except for Morwen and Telemain who still stayed for Telemain to have his arm healed still – had left, Mendanbar and Cimorene proceeded to give Daystar a tour around the castle. They went up and down the stairs, checking out the armoury, libraries, several bedrooms and dungeons, ending up in one bedroom.
"This will be your room, Daystar," Mendanbar said.
"Thank you, Dad," Daystar replied.
They wished each other good night. Mendanbar and Cimorene didn't spend all night sleeping, though.
The next morning Cimorene cooked them breakfast, and they ate together with Morwen and Telemain. They discussed the Politeness Spell on Shiara. Telemain showed great interest on it and wanted to know all the details. Daystar explained the way he and Shiara had touched the sword together, and Mendanbar explained how the sword had done it.
"This is most interesting," Telemain said. "The two aspects of magic resonating, creating such a result…"
"We need to figure out how to get rid of it," Cimorene interrupted.
"But that's so simple," Telemain replied. "It only requires for the sources of the spell to turn over the polarity of the raids..."
"What does that mean?" Daystar asked.
"You and Shiara must again touch the sword and tell it to lift the spell," Telemain said.
"Great! I can't wait to tell Shiara the good news!" Daystar exclaimed.
"Only the lifting forces must be stronger," Telemain said. "So it's both Daystar and Mendanbar, but also Shiara and another Firewitch."
Daystar sighed. "So we need one more Firewitch," he said. "Where are we supposed to find one?"
"Oh, but I know one Firewitch," Cimorene said. "I think Blander would agree to help us here."
"Where does he live, then?" Daystar asked.
"I'm not certain," Cimorene replied. "He does have a mirror, though. We could ask him."
"That's good," Daystar said.
After they had cleared the breakfast table, Cimorene called Blander.
Cimorene explained about the spell on Shiara.
"What a stupid spell!" Blander snapped, his hair flaming up.
"It was an accident. I called to ask if you'd help us to lift it."
"I want to talk with this Shiara," Blander said, "and to find out what I need to do. It won't require me to take the spell on myself, does it?"
Cimorene glanced at Telemain who shook his head.
"It doesn't, Blander." Cimorene replied. "Would you come to the Castle of Enchanted Forest so we can discuss this further?"
"I shall. What a stupid spell." Blander said and the mirror closed up.
Cimorene called Kazul next and explained the situation. Kazul and Shiara would come to the Castle as soon as possible.
