New Chapter

The first thing Britain saw when he came home from work that day was Sealand, lying lifeless on the ground in front of his rose bushes, whit a large bruise on his temple and a broken wand next to him. The wand was very close to his little brother's hand so it was obvious that he was the one who had used it.

Anyway nothing mattered in that particular moment. Britain ran up to Sealand, knelt down and examined the damage.

To his great relief Sealand woke up at the first touch, he moaned in pain and tears began to flow almost before the kid was completely awake.

"Ouch" Sealand took one of Britain's arms and began to sob. Britain didn't say a word, he was not quite sure that Sealand was aware that he was there so words wasn't the most important thing right now. Instead, he lifted him up and went in to dress the wounds.

But he must also find answers to several questions. Was Sealand fully conscious or little dazed? Was he very injured? Where had he got his wand from? Britain had not recognized it as one of his own, which must mean that it belonged to someone else.

"Sealand! Can you hear me? "Britain asked when he put his brother on the couch. Sealand didn't answer, but Britain could see his eyes focusing when he heard the voice, which he interpreted as Sealand had understood the question but had difficulty understanding what it meant. He was still dizzy in other words. "It is me, Britain!" He explained, then he continued somewhat more seriously than he had intended to, "You've been in an accident Sealand! Do you remember what happened? "

Sealand nodded slightly and right at the moment Britain was satisfied with this. He had other things he needed to deal with, to find out who the wand belonged to. But just when he was going to fetch it Sealand got sight of him. A weak hand grabbed Britain's jacket and then Sealand tried to say something, but it sounded so disjointed that it was impossible to hear a single word.

"Sealand, you need to rest now! We'll talk later! "Britain placed his right hand over Sealand injury and read a few magic words to anesthetize him. Sealand did not protest, and by the way, what Britain said seemed to come from so far away that it was not worth trying to listen to ...

-o-o-o-

While Sealand slept, Britain took the broken wand to his workshop. He had to find out whose wand it was, and to do that he must dissect it to see what kind of magic core it had. When he found it next to Sealand it had seemed empty, but it could not be. No toy store did wands that looked so genuine and furthermore there must be an explanation of how Sealand could be knocked out when he used it.

Britain began by cutting off the tip of the wand, and the result could not be more obvious. The stench was so unbearable that Britain had to run to the bathroom to vomit.

When he came back Britain had his own wand, which he used to clean up the room from outside before he went in. He held in the spell while he went into the room. The Trolls Tongue would start to smell again as soon as he put his wand away. He actually had to clean up the room again just after he had taken a break of only a few seconds to be able to repair the other wand with a spell.

Then Britain came to ink about something he had missed earlier. Maybe it was the smell that got Sealand to faint… Though it couldn't be. The flowers should either wither or flower more beautifuly in the vicinity of the smell. He had found Sealand between two huge rose bushes ...

Anyway Britain was sure of one thing, this wand belonged to Norway, and he had to give it back to him and apologize for Sealand who had taken it. Anything else was unthinkable, so the next morning he took the ferry to Norway.
