Chapter 3 - Enchanting Encounter

By 醉翁忆梦换酒钱Published 3 years ago 4 min read

Porter strutted through the bustling marketplace, his mind racing with

excitement and curiosity. He was determined to gather as much

information as he could about the recent disappearances that had

plagued the land. As he approached a group of mysterious creatures,

their colorful scales shimmering in the sunlight, Porter knew that they

could hold important information.

Polite as always, Porter bowed before them and asked for their

assistance. He was not disappointed – a small dragon stepped forward,

its green scales glistening in the sun, and offered the frst piece of

information about dark magic being used to make entire villages

disappear.

Porter's heart raced with intrigue – this was more than he had hoped

for from his frst lead. But he needed more, so he moved on to the next

group - a trio of powerful witches who were renowned for their

knowledge of the elements. He greeted them with respect and asked if

they had any insight into the matter.

After a brief moment of silence, one of the witches spoke in a voice

dripping with mystery. She spoke of a disturbance in the magic realm,

sensing traces of alchemy in the air. Porter was fascinated by their

words; he would need to learn more about alchemy if he was going to

solve this mystery.

The witches then mentioned whispers of a fgure known as Zephyr

being behind these spells. This name rang a bell, but Porter couldn't quite

place it. He thanked them for their help and moved on to fnd more leads.

As he walked away from the marketplace, Porter couldn't help but

feel a sense of excitement building within him. He had made progress,

but he knew that there was still much to uncover.

The sun had begun to set over the horizon as Porter approached an

old building situated at the outskirts of the city. There, standing outside

with a determined look on her face, was Luna - a young witch who had

offered her assistance earlier in the day.

Porter had initially been skeptical of Luna and her magical abilities

but seeing her now, he had a change of heart. With her blonde hair

shining in the fading light, and her twinkling blue eyes radiating with

magic, Porter could sense that Luna had the potential to be a great ally.

Without hesitation, Luna beckoned him inside the building and began

to teach him everything she knew about magic spells and alchemy.

Porter listened attentively, absorbing every word that Luna spoke. As

they practiced speaking dragon language, Porter felt a sense of magic

flling him from within – a sensation that he had never experienced

before.

As the night wore on, Porter and Luna discussed every detail of the

case and analyzed every clue they had gathered so far. They

brainstormed new ideas, combining their skills to come up with a plan.

With every passing moment, their confdence grew stronger. The

wind whispered secrets in their ears, the earth trembled beneath their

feet, and the thunder roared in approval.

As the night stretched on, Luna and Porter reached a breakthrough.

They had found a clue that would lead them straight to the heart of the

mystery. They exchanged a knowing smile, feeling a surge of excitement

and anticipation.

With a fick of their wands and a few magic words, they set off into

the night, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. As they walked

through the city streets, Luna cast a spell of protection around them in

dragon language while Porter held his wand at the ready.

They were in this together, united by their passion for justice and

their love of magic. And nothing was going to stop them now.

As they walked deeper into the city, Porter remembered hearing the

name Zephyr mentioned earlier in the day. He asked Luna if she knew

anything about this mysterious fgure.

Luna's face turned grave as she spoke. "Zephyr is an enigma. No one

knows much about him, only that he is a skilled alchemist who has

dabbled in forbidden magic. He is not to be trifed with."

Porter felt a shiver run down his spine, but he knew that he couldn't

turn back now. He had to face Zephyr if he was going to solve this

mystery and bring peace back to the land.

Together, Luna and Porter pressed forward, their determination

growing stronger by the minute. As they reached their destination, they

could feel the power of dark magic emanating from within the walls.

They had come this far, and they were not going to fail now. With a

deep breath, Porter and Luna entered the dark, foreboding building –

ready for whatever lay ahead.
