Chapter Six – The Strangers' Assistance

"Grandmother, the porthole is breaking!" A young girl with stringy blonde hair yelled.

"Slow down it's progress, if it ends too quickly it could mean trouble. I'd imagine his state is vulnerable to disturbances. Maybe it would be best to work and keep it open." Said an older, stout woman with gray streaks in her hair. She looked now towards a middle-aged man, dressed in frayed robes with long red hair.

"Marie, get your grandmother the dragon's blood. I think she is right." He said to the skinny girl.

Marie opened the cabinet and selected a vial of a purpley substance out of it. She handed it to the older woman and she put three drops of it into their simmering potion, causing it to expel a red gas. The girl started adding some crushed substances into it as her grandmother pulled out her wand and summoned a large stirrer, which started churning the potion. It was now a bright orange.

"Marentelos phosphatous ponete" the middle-aged man incanted, causing green sparks to come from the cauldron. Then they all peered into the potion and it turned from an orange to a white, with blurred images inside of it.

"Marie, the phoenix tears, please."

The girl dispensed two drops of the clear serum into the cauldron and the picture shook, making it clearer.

"Now, the virgin's blood, and the boy's blood and hair."

The girl took two more vials out of the cabinet and a piece of folded up leather with some hair in it. She added two drops of the virgin's blood and one of the boy's. Then she added a clump of hair and her grandmother made the fire under the cauldron larger and finally the picture grew clear.

"Alas, the phoenix tears have helped. We have helped. He is somewhere safe."

The girl went out from the room and pulled her blonde hair back into a knot on the nape of her neck. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at the clock, it was one in the morning. She groaned, knowing how early she had to wake up in the morning. She collapsed on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
