فصل 32

A Night in Terror Tower - Chapter 32

To my surprise, Edward’s face remained calm.

He raised his hand. He had something hidden in his closed fist.

As he opened his fist, I recognized the three stones. Morgred’s smooth, white stones.

They immediately began to glow.

“Edward—again?” I cried.

A smile crossed his lips. His dark eyes lit up excitedly. “I lifted them from Morgred’s robe when he hugged me.” “Do you remember the spell?” I demanded.

Edward’s smile faded. “I—I think so.”

I could hear the Executioner outside the door. The heavy treading of boots on the stone stairs.

“Edward—please hurry!” I urged.

I heard the bolt slide outside the door.

I heard the heavy wooden door begin to slide open.

Edward struggled to stack the glowing stones one on top of the other. The one on top kept slipping off.

Finally, he held all three in a small tower in his palm.

The door slid open a few inches more.

Edward held the glowing stones high. And called out the words, “Movarum, Lovaris, Movaris!” The glowing stones exploded in a flash of white light.

The light faded quickly.

I glanced around.

“Oh, Edward!” I wailed in disappointment. “It didn’t work! We’re still in the Tower!” Before my stunned brother could reply, the door swung all the way open.
