Magical elixir

Medea Shai chased the mortal king, her new ally. He already regretted that he had contacted her. From her magic assistance there was more problems than benefits. The King of Ilion realized that if you want to enlist the magical ally, then you should be cautious doubly. Partially the queen of fairies helped. Armies of his neighbors were eaten by her black creatures directly on the battlefield. Even the battle did not take place. The winged demons flew and broke out other warriors on meat.
"One who has never watched the feast of cannibals, may not look at the maneuvers of my troops," the black fairy warned, but the king of Ilion looked. Returning to his tent, he discovered that gray-haired strands appeared in his chestnut hair.
A terrible feast took place on the battlefield.
Medea Shai was not able to defeat the ice elves, only people. The proposal at the end of the war to become the queen of Ilion did not suit her. She wanted only money and human victims.
Her gnome remained on the stump in front of the tent. He was terribly ugly. The king’s advisors were afraid of him.
With the king the gnome was yery polite. Therefore, the king decided to give him a little attention. Did you never talk about gnome?
“Why don't you leave with your Mrs? Do you like the king’s society more than queen’s? Do you want to drink?”
The gnome silently nodded.
“Ale or wine?”
Instead of the response, the gnome dried all the keg of ale in one moment. As it was only fit.
“I would still have a pint of beer,” the gnom said. "After one scoundrel robbed my hut, I am in drinking bout."
“Is it better to complain about her to your queen?”
“Already complained, and it was in vain. And all because this scoundrel seduced the king of elves. She is now in his Seven hills, as behind the stone wall.”
"So I'm not lucky," the king of Ilion admitted. Still a little bit and he himself will sit down with this gnome to drink beer barrel, as with the best friend. “Affected by my royal magician during the hunt, the ugly bird turned out to be the magical creation of Medea Shai. And here the queen of fairies appeared to reckon me for damaged by the wing of her pet.
“A child of fairy! Perhaps her own?”
“What?!”
“No matter how beautiful the fairies themselves are, but the monsters are born. Sometimes it is a ugly bird. So I do not advise you to succumb to her seduction, if you do not want to acquire such offspring.”
The king was terrified.
"My general saw the trolls catch the travelers and put on them a fiery stamp in the form of a foot with six claws, which comes to life and moves right on the skin. From the stamp flesh burns. They do not have a brand, but a paw of some creature. One of his soldiers was caught and stamped. The soldier entrusted to the regiment and unwittingly became the spy of enemies.”
"They whisper into his ears, laugh, and he can't bother them before friends and is forced to serve them?"
“Everything is right.”
“Did they burn him?”
“He is in the cage now.”
“Better to burn. Otherwise, he himself turn into something monstrous.” The gnome sighed noisy. "Stay with her on the night, she turns you to the slave monster. You look into the mirror, and there already instead of you is troll in the magic collar. I wanted to have the head of her own rival! It turned out that she could not kill the rival. Let the devil take her!”
The gnome disappeared, barely noticed how a flock flew to the regiment and began to devour warriors. And where is Medea Shai wanders at such a moment? The King of Ilion once again regretted that he had acquired the magic ally. From the magical creatures you never know what to expect. The Ice elves were also at first nice and helpful. Now the cold from them fastened all Ilior. Well, if Medea Shai defeats them, and then you can terminate the union with them. The idea that she may wanted to pay for the victory to become the wife of the king, began to scare.
A peddler traded wonders before military tents. He was a red, like autumn. The freckles on his cheeks were in the bizarre patterns, every second in different. From his box, he pulled one attribute of magic, then another, veiled under ordinary type things: flaps and threads, rags for cleaning weapons or beer mugs, of which flowers pixies have evaporated.
The red-haired guy, apparently was the elf, because under his short cloak, the wings were fluttered. They were to going to catch out and chop into pieces, but he smiled disarmingly, took off his head off his shoulders, as if the cap was so. Only a red pillar of purple smoked over the place where he stood. And the magic things that fell out of his box were crawling around and attacked soldiers.
“He is not from the suite of her majesty, your king's ally. It needs to caught him and burn,” insisted some white-haired knight, which name was Tierry. He was exactly from the suite of Medea Shai. He has the sharp ears and the rainbow wings.Tere are arrows from the living red snakes in his quiver, but in battles with the enemies, for some reason, this elf has not yet participated. Angus watched him from his tent.
“Hello, my second ally from Ilion!” said the queen of fairies. "I'll tell you a secret, soon there will be a monster, which will destroy all the army of your opponents and even all elves. Since Dagda fell in love, he weakened, and it gained strength. But I brought a elixir to gain strength and for you.”
Medea Shai appeared in his tent suddenly, as if she had grown out of the ground. Angus was not surprised. She often began to arise next to the wall, then from the tree, then directly from the air, but most often it came from the mirrors. Before her, the whole world lies like on the palm, and there are no closed doors in it. Everything is simple when you fairy.
It was not easy for him in war. One thing to fight with people, but you will not fight the blocks of ice. Someone confused all the human enemies or the knights did not have work left. Ice elves retreated too. Medea Shai boasted that it was her work. She came to Angus with a tempting offer.
Medea Shai gave an elixir to the count.
“So it will help me to compare by force with the elf?”
“It will operate only during the day. Drink a drop with each sunset. Do not forget.”
“Why do you help me? Do you want something as a pay? For example, give all my cohort of the fighters to your dragon for lunch, after we will win.”
He grinned. Excellent would be the price. Be eaten by evil spirits after a minute triumph.
“It's free.”
“Free?” Something was not believed.
"I love beautiful men, even if they are not dragons," she snapped on her black huge satellite. The dragon lay at the entrance to the tent and did the view that he was not jealous. “And you are very nice. You have a sincere look, a delicate skin.”
Her hand, like a black spider, slipped under his shirt. It seems that the insect climbed out the gate. Angus shook it with dislike. Black claws left poisonous wounds on his skin.
“Nothing! Heal!” She smiled. “Now you are invulnerable! Even for my spell!”
"Let's spend this night together," she suggested, waving her eyelashes.
“We are doing it together. For negotiations.”
"I'm about the friendship," Medea Shai nodded expressively on the bed.
"This is superfluous," said Angus.
She suddenly became blonde. Angus looked at a gentle face of Amaranta with black bottomless eyes of Medea Shai.
“The thing is that you are not free, yes? But I can create the illusion that you do not betray anyone.”
A copy of Amaranta was so close and breathed in his chest with fire. But she failed to e*****e the count. He pushed the modified queen of fairiesy from himself.
“I already have one copy in my castle.”
“Ah, this! Luellin. A brainless creation. Unlike her, I am wise. And you, as an educated person, should not love a dummy. But I see you prefer to sit alone at all.”
“Entertainment is too relaxing. Before the battle, they are superfluous.”
Now the Queen of fairies understood and nodded.
‘Quite reasonable! But, probably, in the future, when you get tired of the stupidity of Amaranta, I will come to you somehow after sunset, and you will know how nice to connect with the fairy instead of the usual mortal woman. And if I finally understand that you don't need me, then our union will come to an end that in general it is not scary for you, given that you received the desired power for the fight with an elf.”
The winged beauty retreated into the shadow, away from the light of the lamp. In a minute she disappeared at all.
Angus sighed with relief. Without Medea Shai here it became so quiet and calm. And the flask with the magic elixir pleasantly refrigerated his hand. The sparkling liquid in it seemed a live monster planted into a bottle, like a genie in the lamp. Will he be a monster and himself, drinking a magic solution? It is a pity that there is no choice. If not Amaranta, no one would have forced him to this.
"You love her too much," Medea Shai whispered before the disappearance. Or did he just imagined?
In any case, it is true. He wanted to return her. And in order to return her back to the castle, to the mortal, he has to destroy the king of the elves.
Only one drop of elixir and the flame went on all his veins.Angus barely managed to close the bottle with a lid before the hissing liquid rushed out of it.
In the bottle, demonic strength, and soon, all of it will carry in Angus.
