Chapter 209: Quenched by Winter

Ain panted as he loses his breath and composure. He knows that their Captain Ophir would always ask for the unreasonable but for him to oder him to resize the whole cannal known as sobre.

"How can you ask me to do something impossible?" Ain complained.

"No, I asked you to do it because I know you can." Ophir nonchalantly confirm as he study the bare cannal.

"This looks like a bone without flesh. We need the whole lay out of Sobre territory surrounding the cannal." Nevi commented. Hexel nodded as Kiel trave the cannal.

The whole team eyed their youngest person. Ain can't help but grunt, he waved his hand in defeat and said.

"Okay seniors, I got it. I am amazing and all but don't you think your being hard one me?"

Keil tilt his head and teased.

"I heared from Waheb that he is planning to have be engage on your upcoming birthday, I even tried to negotiate that you did not wish to be engage yet, I think as the royal prince, I will personally look for your future bride."

Ain released a nervous laugh and started to steadu his posture. He spread his plam upward and exhaled.

"To the Lord whom we depend. Your declaration about us surely happens. You are our Maker and Foundation. I humbly asked of your strength to resize the Sobre Cannal's landmark. May it lead us to the truth behind the mysterious crime. Amen."

The whole Sobre got resized bit by the time it got smaller. Ain coughed some blood. Hexel and Lehi attended him as he continuously cough till he started vomiting. Ophir, Kiel and Nevi started to get worried as well.

"Don't you think it was harsh for us to request for the impossible?" Nevi questioned.

Ophir remained quiet as he observe how Ain's condition got worst. Hexel and Lehi applied the necessary aid to halt the bleeding but it got continuous and persistent.

Ophir used his gift and interfered. He whispered the word HEAL and Ain immediately got healed. When Ain was able to speak he started by describing how intense and hard it was to resize the whole location. It was a map size transformation.

"Aside from it's large in nature. Living Things exist within it. But I felt some glitches on the east side of the cannal."

Ain stated as he point toward the scale model like Sobre Cannal in front of them.

Ain casually touched the area and was able to put on the prints. Lehi dipped in her hand on the cannal and the mud sticked to her hand.

"Aren't you amazing Ain?" She complimented. Ain just blushed and scratch the back of his neck.

"Hehehe. I have put on the necessary marks for us to get in. It's not that long but I need to revert back the original size of this place or the animals and plants will die." Ain stated.

Ophir acknowledge what he said and Ain tapped the scale model like size as he prayed.

"Thank you Our Father for making this transformation possible. We are grateful to acquired what you have presented to us. Amen."

The Sobre Cannal get back to it's original form. The Tale Bearers followed all the mark left by Ain and was able to acquire Bethany's finger. The leaves covered an abandon wall. The team had to clear it, When Hexel dropped a stone, it was deep enough for them not to hear any hitting to echoes out if the stone touched the water nor hard surface deep within.

Nevi, Ophir and Lehi knew the reason why there was no sound produced.

Urchin suddenly opened a trance and said.

"No one will jump on that place. Whoever jump there will die. If you badly need someone to do it then I will." The five year old kid fluently spoke. His tongue got healed by Kish. According to the young priest. A spell was put unto his tongue due to his gift. Supposedly his words are well pronounced at three years old.

Kiel tried to negotiate it but it left Urchin to be angry. His gift shattered the well and the Tale Bearers got released on the trance.

"It is done.. let us go home." Urchin shortly said.

The Tale Bearers exchange glances and silently trailed Urchin. The team knows that he can see a vision that they haven't seen. It bothered Kiel that his son might grow colder when he grow old.

After Cyrus heared the report. He suggested that Kiel should take the team unto a retreat. Kiel talked to Waheb and Evi if he could use their villa by the ocean for Ain's birthday. The couple agreed to make their son have his own laugh.

Cyrus noticed that Urchin started to act more mature ever since Gardenia died.

Cyrus knocked on his grandson's door. Urchin waited for him to get inside as he bowed his head. Cyrus ruffled his hair and said

"You don't have to bow your head on me. I am your grandfather." Cyrus stated.

Urchin pressed his lips and replied.

"But your still the King."

Cyrus chuckled and lifted him close to his chest.

"Yes, but before I got seated on the throne. I am meant to be your grandfather. The throne is my position and not my identity little man."

Urchin nod his head as his chubby cheeks bounced.

"I can see you understand it. Now, let's talk about you. How are you this days?"

Cyrus inquired as he put Urchin unto his shoulder ignoring how his waist are complaining.

"I felt like I am not allowed to speak what I see, unless it already happened. Kish told me that if I speak of a revelation it will have a sabotage effect on what is about to happen. That is why Urchin acted bad today." Urchin confessed.

Cyrus pressed his eyes and wished he could share some of the burden that he carry's. Urchin smiled and whispered.

"It's okay grandpa, Urchin is meant to see this kind of view alone."
