The Queen With The Frozen Heart - The Magic Rises


Iluku scrambled through the caves.

She could feel the magic calling her, making her skin prickle.

Amarun was outside, wreaking havoc among her warriors.

And she could not allow it.

She would not allow it!


Taking longer strides, she made clear through the huge hall where the jaguar men slept.

The kings men wanted to waste their time killing are the sleeping warriors.

But impatiently she waved for them to move on.

There was no time!

Not with the monster loose outside.


The men run after her moving form.

Little by little they saw how it changed from an old woman into the famed beauty she was told to be.

They sighed and shied away, trying to hide their eyes, while Killa preened proudly.

- She is quite delight for the eyes, he smiled, isn’t she?


King shook his head and concentrated on the feel of the spear in his hand.

They needed to make something to these jaguar men.

Make sure they would never bother his land, and people, again.

- Faster, Iluku shouted, we’re almost there!


And then she could see the guards, they weren’t at the doorstep like they were supposed to.

But scattered in the ground, impossible forms, covered in red.

Not alive anymore, she made sure with a quick look.

No one could be alive after what had happened to them.

Well, it made her job easier.


She grabbed the net from her bag and the remaining angel trumped flowers.

The beast was waiting on the ground, with Sisa still on top of it.

Her warriors were hidden under the trees, like she had told them.

And her husband’s two annoying sons were hovering around, showing off.


Swearing under her breath she threw the net over Amarun’s head and blew the flowers to his face.

The beast launched at her but the magic held.

It could not move anymore and little by little its eyes started to droop and it fell asleep.

- Make yourselves useful, she snapped at Lusiru and Kuyllur.


The two of them looked at her, like big oafs they were.

- Seal the door, she stared at them; make sure the jaguar men will never get out.

Understanding dawned finally on them.


As one they stepped to the cave door and beckoned the warriors to help them.
