The Price to Pay

On Setha paused again. Henrie knew what the witch wanted, and he wouldn't give it to her. This mad witch had ruined a lot of lives. How many people were dead because of the curse she put on Yohana and Runa?

"The Puvats can use the stone to break spells. When the Puvats died one by one, and the race had only a few people left, the Village Chief took the rest of the albimonds and separated them into equal pieces. He distributed the pieces to the villagers, excluding himself."

Henrie had gotten the answer he wanted. The stone could break the spell. "How does the stone work? Do the pieces of the stone need to be put together before it takes effect?"

"I see that you're confused with the current ordeal. I understand, Your Highness. This matter is indeed confounding." 

On Setha took the liberty to sit and crossed her legs in an act of superiority because she knew that she had the upper hand.
