“Oi!” I call out to her, hoping she’ll hear me through the wall of stone. “I need you!”
I can almost imagine her laughing bitterly. She knows she can’t get out without the dark magic escaping. But that’s what I’m counting on.
“Don’t be scared, we’ll be able to release that demon energy!” I shout. “But I need you now, my mother is dying. Come out, help me!”
A low rumble makes me perk up. Is it working?
“Please, magic! Please!” I’m begging her. If my Guardians could see me now, shouting at a stone wall. But I know she’s in there.
And finally, a rock falls to the ground. Granted, it’s a tiny one, more like a pebble, but it’s a start. More rocks follow, pushed off the top of the boulder wall by an unseen force. My magic is fighting. Good.
Finally, there’s a hole large enough to let me in
