In which Cimorene and Kazul are surprised by a young girl, a very large cat, and a blind man (who happens to be rather young himself) and many things happen as a result (part 5)
Karal looked around, 'wait a minute, I looked around?! But I'm blind!'
"Altra! Where are you?!" he shouted into the forest. No answer. "Great. I'm blind, but I can now see through my own eyes, I'm totally lost in an enchanted forest, and I'm alone!" he yelled to no one, but someone heard.
"Oh I wouldn't say you're alone. I find it very intriguing, however, that you claim to see even though you also claim to be blind. I guess that's why it's an enchanted forest.
My name is Antorell. I'm a visitor here. Who are you?"
Karal didn't trust this person and he had asked who he was as if he already knew.
Oh well " My name is Karal, I also am a visitor. Not only to this forest but to this world."
'Oh great, make him think you're crazy.'
"Oh really? You must be a very powerful wizard to perform travel between worlds."
An innocent enough comment, except his use of the word 'wizard' and the fact that he licked his lips hungrily when he said this.
" No, I'm not a wizard of any sort. i don't know how I got here."
"Really? Well I guess that's another reason why it's called 'the enchanted forest'."
"I guess so." Karal was getting really uncomfortable under Antorell's gaze.
"So, what're you doing here Anti-roll, if you don't mind my asking?" Karal asked him while striving to look innocent.
Antorell jaw clenched and Karal could here him grinding his teeth but he managed to respond "It's Antorell and yes I do mind." Antorell realized what he was doing and strove to remedy the situation. "Ah, forgive me for being rude, but it's very personal business that I'd really rather not discuss." 'There, that should do it. This kid is probably so gullible. With his naive look.'
Karal thought to himself 'I thought so, he must be one of those wizards Cimorene warned us about with his staff and all. I don't like the way it leaves spots of dead grass wherever it touches the ground.' Aloud he said "No problem, really. I understand completely." He plastered on a completely phony smile that seemed to fool Antorell and contemplated how he would get out of this situation.
