Little Pops Who are you?
2
Gliss's mother screamed at Morb.
3
How did you get past our shield?
4
It's him!
5
Zan shouted.
6
The man we were telling you about!
7
Morb ignored him.
8
Freeze!
9
He intoned, pointing at Gliss's parents.
10
Instantly her parents froze in place.
11
Her mother's eyes were wide and frightened.
12
Her father's mouth was open in the middle of a shout.
13
Mom!
14
Dad!
15
Gliss shrieked.
16
Morb made a beckoning motion.
17
A second later, two large, hideous trolls appeared.
18
Take them to the dungeon!
19
Morb ordered the trolls.
20
Another quick flash and the trolls disappeared, along with Gliss's parents.
21
No!
22
Gliss screamed.
23
We have to get out of here!
24
Zan shouted.
25
He rubbed his hands together.
26
Perda was already doing the same,
27
but not Gliss, she just stood there.
28
She's in shock, Zan said.
29
Even if we get away...
30
There was no time to say more,
31
Morb had turned toward them.
32
He glanced at Perda with disinterest,
33
but when he saw Gliss, he smirked.
34
Another red, he said, raising his hand.
35
No!
36
Darb cried.
37
He reached into his pocket and flung a handful of panic bugs into Morb's face.
38
Morb exclaimed as the little insects panicked, releasing a foul-smelling odor.
39
Get away from me, you repulsive creatures!
40
It only took Morb a few seconds to blast the bugs to smithereens,
41
but that was enough time.
42
Get her!
43
Zan shouted at Perda.
44
Perda grabbed Bliss.
45
Zap!
46
They both disappeared.
47
Zan dived for Darb.
48
His hand closed on his friend's arm just as Morb spun toward them.
49
The man's eyes narrowed.
50
Don't you dare!
51
He exclaimed.
52
This time you're not getting away from...
53
Zap!
54
Splash!
55
Drat!
56
Zan cried.
57
How come I always land in the swamp?
58
Forget that!
59
Darb said breathlessly.
60
At least you got us out of there.
61
Zan nodded.
62
Good thinking using those panic bugs.
63
You probably saved us all.
64
Thanks.
65
Darb looked sad.
66
Sad.
67
I wish he hadn't blasted them, though.
68
Xan wasn't going to waste time mourning a bunch of smelly insects.
69
We'd better find the girls.
70
He waved a hand to summon a spy fly.
71
Suddenly, Morb materialized in front of them.
72
Stop right there!
73
He exclaimed.
74
What?
75
Xan cried, startled.
76
How did you...
77
He didn't bother to finish.
78
Grabbing Darb, he zapped them away again.
79
This time, he aimed for the cave where Zing was waiting.
80
Phew, he said when they landed.
81
That was close.
82
How in the world did he...
83
Again, Morb appeared.
84
Give up, Red.
85
You can't escape.
86
Xan instantly grabbed both Darb and Zing.
87
This time, he didn't have time to think of a destination.
88
Ouch!
89
Darb exclaimed as they landed on a craggy boulder.
90
How's Morb doing this?
91
Xan cried.
92
He can't follow us through a zap unless we leave him a trail.
93
Darb didn't answer.
94
He just grabbed Xan as Morb appeared again.
95
Morb cackled.
96
I told you, it's no use trying to escape.
97
My magic is far superior to...
98
Zap!
99
Darb yanked on Zan's arm as they landed near a stream where they'd often fished for moon minnows.
100
Come with me!
101
He urged.
102
What?
103
Zan was rubbing his hands, preparing to zap again.
104
He hoped his magical energy held out until he could figure out what to do.
105
Come on!
106
Darb took off running, with Zing flying behind him.
107
Darb, wait!
108
Zan chased after them.
109
You'll never escape that guy without magic!
110
Darb didn't answer.
111
He dove into a thick clump of bushes.
112
Zan followed.
113
What are you doing?
114
Hush!
115
Darb crawled forward, peering out from among the dense branches.
116
Morb soon appeared in the spot where the boys had landed.
117
This game is becoming tiresome.
118
He glanced around.
119
You might as well give up.
120
Trust me, you do not want to anger me further.
121
Quick, let's zap away again before he...
122
Xan hissed.
123
No. Darb cut him off.
124
Don't you get it?
125
He's tracking your magic somehow. Could Darb be right?
126
Xan had never heard of someone tracking people through their magic.
127
Then he remembered.
128
I think we studied that last year, he said.
129
But that kind of magic has been banned since the old times.
130
Flash freezes are illegal too, Darb reminded him.
131
And Morb has been using them.
132
So what can we do?
133
Zan felt helpless.
134
If Morb could find him every time he used magic,
135
there was no escape.
136
Let's get to the hollow, Darb said.
137
His magic can't find us there.
138
It'll give us time to think.
139
Zan gulped.
140
The Hollow, he would feel even more helpless there.
141
But Darb was right.
142
They had to get away from Morb long enough to figure out what was going on.
143
Okay.
144
Zan sneaked another peek at Morb.
145
But first I've got to use magic once more to let Perda know what's happening.
146
Darb looked worried.
147
Morb will know where you are as soon as you summon the moth.
148
You won't have time to inscribe the message.
149
Zan bit his lip.
150
Good point.
151
Darb smiled.
152
Then again, I just happen to know that message moths like to rest in shady underbrush.
153
So, if we can find one without using magic...
154
He carefully crawled around, peering under leaves.
155
Seconds later, he cupped his hands around a fluttering insect.
156
Awesome!
157
Zan whispered.
158
Grabbing the moth, he quickly inscribed his message onto its wings.
159
Don't use any magic.
160
Meet at the hollow.
161
Darb was peering out.
162
He's getting closer, he whispered.
163
Better do it now.
164
Purda, Zan told the moth.
165
He rubbed his fingers together and released the creature.
166
Aha!
167
Morb howled triumphantly from very close by.
168
Stop!
169
Xan yelled, focusing on the spot right outside the hollow.
170
Where do you think they took my parents?
171
Gliss asked tearfully.
172
I don't know.
173
Xan tried to answer patiently,
174
even though Gliss had asked the same question about 50 times already.
175
It'll be okay.
176
Perda put an arm around Gliss's shoulders.
177
We'll figure out how to save them.
178
And Boz and all the others too.
179
An hour had passed since Zan had zapped himself,
180
Darb and Zing to within a few paces of the hollow.
181
Zing had whimpered as soon as he'd realized where they were.
182
But Darb had coaxed the nervous dragon into following him and Zan into the hollow.
183
They'd peered out as Morb appeared.
184
He'd looked around in confusion,
185
muttered a few angry words and then zapped himself away again.
186
Darb's plan had worked.
187
Being in the Hollow had blocked whatever spell Morb was using to track Xan.
188
A few minutes later, Perda and Gliss had arrived on foot.
189
Now it was getting dark,
190
and they were all still in the Hollow.
191
The Hollow was a low,
192
grassy spot, protected by a thick tangle of thorny vines.
193
The only entrance lay between the gnarled trunks of two ancient mood trees,
194
and nobody who didn't know it was there would ever notice it.
195
Not even Morb, whoever he might really be.
196
We need to figure out how a void got such strong magic, Zan said.
197
Enough to perform flash freezes and whatever tracking spell he was using to follow me.
198
Gliss looked confused.
199
How would a void get any magic at all? she asked.
200
It's impossible, isn't it?
201
Not totally, Zan said.
202
I knew a void when I lived in First City.
203
His mom was a red,
204
and she infused a pair of gloves with a little bit of magic he could use each day.
205
Just enough to conjure up lunch and stuff like that.
206
Xan was surprised that Gliss didn't know about that sort of thing.
207
Then again, she'd lived in Swamp Bottom all her life.
208
There were only a few voids in town,
209
and most seemed content to rely on others for what little magic they needed to get by.
210
It was different in the larger towns and cities,
211
where people weren't as neighborly.
212
But that's not the kind of magic we're talking about, Perda said.
213
No magic-infused glove could do a flash freeze.
214
The magic would be too weak.
215
You couldn't even use it to zap yourself six inches away.
216
I know.
217
Xan was thinking hard.
218
The directory said Morb worked in the research lab at the university, remember?
219
Maybe he learned about some stronger kind of infusion.
220
Researchers are always working on new forms of magic there.
221
Perda looked skeptical.
222
If researchers were working on something that big,
223
we would have heard about it, she said.
224
Every Void and Magicka would be lining up to try it.
225
Right, Darb?
226
Darb shrugged and kept petting Zing,
227
who lay beside him looking anxious and miserable.
228
I wonder how Morb got those trolls to work with him, Darb said.
229
Perda shuddered.
230
Oh, those trolls were scary.
231
I never saw a real one before.
232
Only pictures and books.
233
Bliss wasn't paying much attention to the others.
234
I can't believe my parents are gone, she moaned.
235
We need to find them.
236
I know, Zan said.
237
I'm worried about my grandfather, too.
238
But Morb got a good look at all of us.
239
Who knows what he'd do if he saw us again?
240
We already know what he'd do to you two.
241
Perda glanced at Zan and Gliss.
242
He'd summon his trolls to carry you off.
243
Darb stepped toward the entrance and looked out.
244
Maybe I should sneak back to town, he suggested.
245
I could let our families know what happened and see what I can find out.
246
No way, Zan said.
247
It's too risky.
248
Perda nodded.
249
If we hide out here for a while,
250
the grown-ups will take care of everything, right?
251
Nobody said anything for a long moment.
252
Xan felt sick and scared.
253
He'd always longed for adventure and excitement.
254
Now he'd found it.
255
But somehow it wasn't nearly as much fun as he'd imagined it would be.
256
Darb was still staring out into the night.
257
Look!
258
He said suddenly.
259
Here comes a message, Moth.
260
We'd better see who it's for.
261
Xan's heart thumped.
262
Are you sure that's a good idea?
263
What if Morb can track us through it?
264
I doubt it.
265
Perta said.
266
Otherwise, he would have found me in Gliss when you sent us that message earlier.
267
Right.
268
It seemed like his tracking spell worked by locating the person who was creating the magic.
269
Darb said in his logical way.
270
It probably doesn't track the moth itself,
271
or the person that it's going to.
272
I hope you're right.
273
Xan stepped outside with the others.
274
The moth immediately fluttered over to him.
275
He gently held the creature in his hands,
276
peering at it in the moonlight.
277
It's from Boz, he said when he saw the name etched on one wing.
278
The message on the other wing was inscribed in Boz's sloppy handwriting,
279
not the neater letters that appeared when he wrote mentally.
280
It read, Morb No Good.
281
Find my old diary and show it to Pallas.
282
That means he's alive, Perda cried.
283
The Reds who disappeared are alive.
284
Bliss looked relieved.
285
We have to find them and save them.
286
Xan knew she was right,
287
but it wasn't going to be easy.
288
To find Boz's diary, they'd have to leave the safety of the Hollow and return to where Xan's house had been.
289
Then they would need to figure out how to get to the palace in First City.
290
And they'd have to do it all without any magic.
