"You LIAR!" Barda screamed. "I NEVER HAD A CHILD!"
The plan is working! Though this moment wasn't to come too soon, Lief thought.
"Oh, but yes," He jeered. "Don't you remember the woman you loved..."
"I NEVER LOVED CLEMINTYNE!" Barda yelled.
This time, Lief stared at him in disbelief. The plan was to make the Shadowlord, if they were to meet him, think that he had a child while he was in Deltora. It wasn't meant to be true; It was just to make him go insane and lose control of himself. But it seems that the story Lief was making up was true!
Yet he continued. For out of the corner of his eye he saw Jasmine quietly muttering, and knew that she was instructing the tree to do her bidding.
"Don't be a fool," Lief continued. "Why, wasn't it the first time you actually felt an emotion?"
Barda, or rather, the Shadowlord shivered and shrieked. It was a horrible moment. The Ak-Babas circling above wheeled in panic, as if they too could not stand the scream. Barda put his hands in his head and yelled: "No, no!!
It cannot be true!!"
Just then, a tree branch fell on top of him and the screams subsided. The Ak-Babas shrieked in their turn and flew back to the Shadowlands, leaving Lief and Jasmine in shock.
