4 Chapter - 4 (2/2)

”We don't have to do that, we can just transport to your sister's location from here.”

”What are you talking about? I am not understanding anything”

”That's why I said you need to read the books your mother gives you instead of pushing all the hard work to me. In one of the book, it is written that a little purple flower from Hygelnewl combined with the right amount of dust from Asher star and a pinch of fine Renlow powder along with your sisters' scent will make us travel directly to her place”

”Here is my sister's scent, do not use it completely if your technique doesn't work then we need to use it for our next one. But I don't have the remaining ingredients”

”Who said you don't have anymore? Take out the dust from Asher star”

Looking at Peter's innocent eyes and getting irritated at his ignorance, Robert took the necklace from Peter's neck and opened the cap of the tube pendant.

He took a pinch of the pink dust and added the flower into a small mud cup along with a pinch of Elly's scent and closed it with a lid tightly. All that is left out of the mixture is Renlow powder.

He looked around and asked Peter if he had them but all he got was a shake of his head and Robert really lost it. ”Ignorant! Ignorant! Ignorant!”

”Come on, you never said I would need all these before leaving and even you did not bring them” Peter complained. After thinking for a second he asked, ”why don't we feed the plant again and ask to give us the ingredient?

”Good idea, my brainy boy” Robert took a small piece of a snack from his pocket and tried to feed the plant but the plant just opened and closed its eyes and started sleeping.

”What now ?” Peter asked.

At that time a small voice was heard from inside the plant which made them jump up in surprise.

”I can give you the powder but what can you give me in return?” asked a small figure who climbed out of the plant.

”Who are you and why are you coming from the plant?” Peter asked.

”Are you the guardian of this plant? And why are you so small?” asked Robert.

”Yes, I am. And I asked you questions first which neither of you answered yet”, Short-tempered short man asked.

”We only have snacks with us, if you want them we can give you that” Peter answered.

”No, that is not what I want. I want a pinch of the dust of Asher in exchange for a bottle of the Renlow powder. Can we consider it a deal then?” Short man asked impatiently.

Peter was almost reaching for his neck but Robert stopped him and said ”What you are asking is impossible! This is no deal”

”But it is just a pinch he is asking…” Before Peter could protest, Robert kicked his legs and silenced him with his eyes.

Then he turned towards the short man and said with confidence,

”We are not interested in this deal, so take your plant and move away from here”

Feeling the distraught around it, 'Hygelnewl' jumped from the bag and took its original size.
