I woke up the next morning, getting dressed quickly. I hurried out the door and to the stables. I mounted Philippe again and rode as fast as I could to old Corona. I got there by noon, soon making my way to the home where Quirin raised Varian. I saw remnants of automatons and a battle. What exactly did Varian do.....? Did he wage war against the crown...? I'd have to talk with him soon.

I hurried inside to see Quirin Frozen in place by the amber. I set to work to prepare for the spell. I took a deep breath and spoke the enchantment. I gently touched the amber. It exploded, sending shards in every direction! I got hit in the shoulder. I cried out in pain as I fell on my rear end. The shard soon left my shoulder and turned into dust. All the shards turned into dust and entered Quirin's body. Soon he was living and breathing.

"Elena? Child what are you doing here...?" He looked around, seeing me injured, then decided to deal with my injury first.

We soon talked about what happened and the letter from Varian. I was worried about Quirin telling others about my abilities. But he surprised me with what he said as he finished bandaging me up.

"We need to keep this a secret. I am forever in your debt, child. Let's hurry to Corona so we can help Varian. He's probably scared half to death!" Soon Quirin packed some essential items and we mounted Philippe and rode towards Corona. Quirin soon saw the automatons outside, he had a worried look on his face.

"What did Varian do, exactly?" He looked at me with extreme worry.

"I honestly don't know, but it couldn't have been good..." I sighed softly as we rode towards Corona, determined to help Varian.
