Chapter 8
—
A week has pass by for Elena she really didn't see Amir those few weeks, she did try to speak with him but was told that he was out for a bit. For this she try's to find something to do even with Gabe a few times, the gardener Juliette showed them many kinds of plants that were native in the area. Pointing at different kinds of colors of the plants can be harvested, even told them some small mythical creatures live here. But she says "I really see them they mostly help me with the plants like fertilizing, an use as their homes but I stay away from those plants." So now Elena knows what kinds of plants help when someone's sick or to make tea.
After that Elena went to see how her sister doing, Luna an Skyler were playing with a ball they found. Minks trying to make sure they break something again, Isabel was still reading the "night of Valisia" saying "maybe theses stories are real, cause some places here are in the book." So that conversation was going to be a long explanation of the book, was a long two hours of her life. Walking down the hallway to Amir's room was her only option to be doing something, cause Gabe got himself sick with pollen as a plant sprayed in his face.
Elena try's to help him but Juliette told her there's really much she can do, telling her it wasn't poisonous just the pollen had to get out of his system. This now noted down cause trying to be strong in front of her an Juliette, while digging an hit the roots of a plant causing it to attack. Finally at Amir's room his door was covered in weird markings, she was about to knock until voices on the other side was heard. She hears Amir an Alexzander?, getting closer as the conversation wasn't clear to hear.
Alexzander speaks with anger an frustration, "how long is he going to keep this up it's been a hole week." Amir sitting in a chair flipping through pages of an old book legs crossed, "don't know his demands are really unusual, last time he wanted a flying ram then a dandruff of a forest giant." Alexzander scuffs "an theses are needed for what?", Amir stops at a page "it's for a sleeping potion, or it can be use to cause never ending scratching on someone's body." Hearing someone standing up Amir's was speaking once more, "he's been sending many messages through the mirror but mostly in riddles, but those are the only items I got out of it." Pacing around the room Alexzander had no other choice "that means I personally have to go see him then."
Quick with with words Amir stops him by stepping in his way, "I know you're doing it with good attentions but right it's not safe." He stops in his tracks "an you have a better plan then mine then," Amir opens the book once more to show Alexzander his finds. Flipping through the pages "I have a counter spell but it won't be easy," Alexzander turns to him "an how so?" Amir shows the page to him "you have to the lands of the giants an get blood of one, even if you do get there it has to be a very old one." Knowing what next to come Alexzander ask one more time, "an that's all I need to get, if so tell me so I can get them quickly."
Amir chuckles "a antler of a white stag, hair of a fairy that's easy, and tear pearl from a waterfall." Taking it to note Alexzander walk to the door, but stops before grabbing the door. Conversation was over but does he really want to do it, it gave him a bad vibe to this ordeal. Opening the door he felt something hit the door with a thump, an a "ouch!" Follow after.
This came to a surprise to him looking at who ever was behind the door, Princess Elena was on the ground rubbing her forehead in pain. Alexzander gets on one knee an extends his hand to her, "you really do get in trouble a lot." She toke the hand still rubbing her bruising head, not liking his comment as she glares at him. Wanting to know what he was talking about, but he was already walking away from her. "Um what we're you two talking about anyway?" Elena asked hoping he would answer.
But went unheard as he still walks away, "well your quiet rude..." as she say faintly. He stops 5 feet away an turns around"snooping in on a conversation is rude, but it seems those manners don't reply to you." Glaring at him with hate " I'm not rude I just wanted to see if Amir need help, like you said before." Gripping at end of her light green dress she wore, not wearing any shoes as the long walks were causing blisters from the shoes they gave her. What's with this guy at least light up on her a bit, as putting one foot on top of the other as looks way not wanting to look at him.
Alexzander watched her closely Elena cross her arms over herself, what was he looking at it was making her feel uncomfortable. Shooting a glare at him "what..." he cross his arms at her with no emotion. "Ask Amir if he has anything for your blistered feet, so I don't have to hear you complain about it," as he says this he walks away from her. Puffing up she yells at him "I don't complain!, what gives you the right to say that!" He just waves her away no caring to much turning down to some steps to the right of him, an getting farther away from her.
Amir's door opens Amir steps out to look at her with a raise eyebrow giving her a look "okay, you done yelling?" With this he steps back for her to walk-in she looks around, the room was giving a very warm heat we're was it coming from? His walls was covered in magenta color crystals, books, potion bottles, and ingredients float around the room. A big round table sitting in the middle of the room books scattered on top, some open others closed. He push items out his path way to grab a dark green bottle that was floating near by.
Elena was follows him trying not bump into things, as she looks in amazement of the room. Amir rubs his face for a bit then shakes the bottle making it turn neon green. Popping the cap open an takes a swing of the substance, give a big groan of relief. Elena wonder what Amir drinking was it good for him to take, "do not worry it's just something to calm my nerves that's all," he says to Elena with a smile placed on his face. She laughs "even he gets to you as well then, seeing now he's causing your nerves shock."
This was something normal to Amir "nah he's always like this, originally he use to adventure in the mountain plains when he was young." Curious Elena wanted know what he mean by that "what do you mean?", Amir sits on the table facing her "he's use to go solve problems on his own, but with his mothers death an maybe his father, he had to take a 'kingly act' to keep this kingdom a afloat." Hearing this Elena looks him the eyes an frowns "so he's just lashing out on me then", Amir just waves that statement away "no no, just he has a way of doing things an try to cause less damage to anything." For that answer Elena was more piss then even "so your saying my way of ruling is nothing but child's play then."
Amir just shrugs "if you see it that way be my guest I'm not here to pick sides, but you should lighten up on him he gots to much stuff on his plate." Stomping her bare feet on the ground "no not in a million jackuins, that I'll let the things he say to me slide!" He smiles "are you sure cause I hear someone broke a priceless vase that I had to fix?, but that's hear say though but really what about him gets you so mad?" As he goes back to making a potion then hands the neon white substance to her, "here for your feet."
Taking it as the neon white liquid swishes around the bottle, Elena looks at him. "Um... thanks I guess, I don't know what it for though?", give a confused look Elena really didn't know what to do. But was pushed out the door by Amir with a paper in his hand giving it to her, with the door handle in his hand. "Don't thank me, Alexzander was the one who got the ingredients wanting to use it on himself, but seeing that you have feet problems he just told me to give it to you." Amir slams the door behind her before she could say anything else to him, what did he mean Alexzander was going to use it. Looking at the white bottle in her hand she then looks at the paper, it was a list of things he needed.
