Chapter 13:
"So the girl doesn't even know how to use magic?" The sorceress growled as she sat upon her throne.
"Yes, that ah.. Seems to be the case your majesty." The minion responded skittishly. The sorceress let out a low growl.
"Fine." She said, waving her hand. "Go, see what else you can find out." The minion bowed his head before retreating from the room. The sorceress sighed. "What good is a weapon that doesn't even know how to work?" She asked.
" A weapon who is ignorant, means a weapon that can be easily influenced." Ripto replied. " She may not know how to use her magic, but with us as her mentors, she'll catch on quickly. And in turn.." He smirked, " She'll be grateful of us, and become one of us."
The sorceress sighed and rubbed her temple. "Ripto. As time goes on I begin to question your logic. Your plan seems more and more outlandish by the day. I'm beginning to wonder if we should call off this alliance."
"What?" Ripto exclaimed. Though Ripto wouldn't admit it, without the sorceress help he'd get nowhere near his goal of taking over. An alliance with the Sorceress, and even Gnasty, meant that he'd have an army at his disposal, and not just his bumbling, brain dead minions Gulp and Crush.
"No, no, no, wait! Please." He said, stepping in front of the sorceress. " Please, let me prove that she can be of some use to us."
The sorceress stared at him with a cold, death like stare. "Fine. I leave it to you to capture her, and prover her worth. You had better not disappoint me Ripto."
"Oh trust me. I won't."
