No one has absolute knowledge

A fresh air caught our young heroes. Ingus got amazed by everything, the sky, the palace, the horizon and even more the lights of the kingdom's town.

Hordward: " Amazing,right? But that's not what I wanted to show you..."

Ingus: "(with wide open eyes, looking at the sky) what are those tiny lights in the sky ? They're beautiful! "

Vardus: " those are called stars, in fact they are gaz ball burning with high temperature far away from where we are, so they're kinda like our sun..."

Hordward: " Vardus, you could just have said that those were stars "

Ingus: " Amazing, vardus how do you know so many things ?"

Vardus: " Ingus, I don't know that much , but if you want to learn all that I'll show you the library and I'll teach you too if you want of course "

Ingus: " sure I want, but Hordward what do you wanted to show me ? "

Hordward: " huh... ah yes, sorry I got asleep because of smartass's talking Haha "

Vardus: " hm!"(giving an anger look to Hordward)

Hordward led the way, but instead of taking the stairs so the only way possible, he took to his right a few meters before the stairs. He got stopped by vardus worried.

Vardus: " hey, where are you going to? The stairs are over here "

Hordward: " Don't worry, I know where I' m going. There is only one way to get where I want to take us and it is this way."

Vardus: " sure that's only if you want to go to the forest...wait?! Are we heading to the forest?"

Hordward: " haha precisely, we are heading straight to the forest"

Vardus: " hm Hord, I really think that is not a good idea"

Ingus: " Hordward, are you sure it's safe? "

Hordward: " you are worrying too much, that part of the forest we are heading to is completely safe, I've patrolled all over the area. "

Vardus: (taking a sarcastic tone) "great, I immediately feel more reassured... I've always dreamed to die eaten by a beast in the forest in the middle of the night, great!"

Ingus: " hm...eaten by a beast ? "

Hordward: " Vardus, seriously stop scaring Ingus, if you are too afraid, you can go back"

Vardus: " shut up, I'm not afraid"

Hordward: " Well then, so...there we are"

(The boys were now facing a wall)

Vardus: " huh...Hord, this is a wall, what now? We jump or fly, in any case I can't. "

Hordward: " you might think of yourself as genius, but you're quite blind! "

Vardus and Ingus: " this is a wall! "

Vardus: " see, even ingus sees a wall"

Hordward: " huh!... Ingus hasn't learned magic yet, right? But you sure do have, don't you?"

Vardus: " yes, but no destructive spell, even so I won't just blow off the wall"

Hordward: " do I really have to explain?...huh! What is the first lesson of magic?"

Vardus: " constant awareness, what do you mean? Just spit it out already!"

Hordward: " if I remember with my, how did you call it , ah yes my stupidity. I think during that first lesson, they taught you how to distinguish reality from illusion"

Vardus: " wait do you mean that..."

Hordward: " yes smartass, ... this wall is just an illusion of level 3"

Vardus: " but why would it be an illusion?"

Vardus closed his eyes and focused his mind on the wall infront of him, then a glowing blue light enveloped him, vardus opened his once amber eyes now blue as the sea.

Vardus: " I-I can't believe it, this is really an illusion but that kind of magic, isn't it yours?"(looking confused)

Hordward: " yes, this wall is one of my creation " ( smiling proudly)

Vardus: " I'm hurt to admit it but Hordward you really are talented"

Ingus: " so if i understand it well, the wall just here is an illusion but i can touch it"

Vardus: " that's normal, illusion spells get greater with their level. From 3 to the last level of illusion spells, it is barely impossible for a non magical user and in certain cases magical user, to distinguish those illusions from reality "

Ingus: " wow! Hordward you are awesome..."(looking at Hordward with stars in the eyes)

Hordward: " yes I am! But now we have to hurry, we only have 10 minutes left"

Hordward put his left hand on the wall and the wall just shattered, reveling a sumptuous little paradise: a giant tree in which there was a hut, a small lake shining with a soft bluish light.

Hordward: " there you are! This... is my no more secret hideout! "
