Chapter 13

In a flash of bright light and a deafening sound like that if a hurricane, Lurtz and Fox appeared back in the jail cell. Instantly Lurtz began to feel the return of the heavy tiredness, the side effect of both too much teleportation and the pixie spell over the cell designed to subdue prisoners. Fox smashed another potion on the ground, this one hissed for a second then uttered a noise like a whisper as a small vapor appeared and disappeared like fog. Lurtz instantly felt better, it was useful having Fox around, he seemed to be able to both create and dissipate spells with ease.

Not to be outdone in usefulness, Lurtz pulled the small stone from his pocket and placed it under his foot. Feeling the power of the ground channel from the stone, through his body and into his hand, he reached forward and grabbed one of the magical bars of the cell. The bars were made up of pixie dust particles, floating as a bar connected from the roof to the ground, and had been proven to be some of the strongest in existence. However as Lurtz grabbed the centre pole, a spark shot through the bar of light, and a brown color began to ooze from his gripped hand. Within seconds the entire bar became brown and turned to rock, Lurtz then smashed it effortlessly with the butt of his bow, and squeezed through the gap.

Lurtz and Fox crept through the prison tunnels, not daring to make a sound. The tunnels acted as dark passageways cutting through the ground, linking the prison cells like a criminal beehive. Lurtz and Fox couldn’t help being anxious as bitter feelings of helplessness surrounded them. Depression filled them both, however they did not sercum, they knew it was the result of pixie mischief, the pixies were unrivaled in their ability to manipulate the feelings of others.

At last they reached the city, though it housed creatures only inches tall it was still the size of a regular city. They stood behind the closest building, peering out, millions of pixies were flying in all directions, Lurtz could not believe how crowded it was. it shone a bright gold colour and sat about a metre from the ground. Fox envolked a cloaking spell and they crept through the streets, regular magic would be negated here but through strong potions they still had some power, but they had to be careful, even the high strength cloaking potion was still weak here. They crept through the streets, seeming to any onlookers as a shadow, or a trick of the light.

They continued until they reached a large building where Lurtz could feel his staff, it emitted a signal he was tuned too and it let him straight to it. The building was shaped like a crescent moon, and hovered higher than the other buildings, over three metres from the ground. The two adventures stood in an alley between two other buildings nearby, thinking of the perfect plan to get inside.
