Testing the knowledge of my readers.
I’m learning as I go along and I think when I give you the answer to the last test, I should probably include the actual excerpt before giving the answer.
So, from now, you get the actual excerpt from the previous test with the answer followed by the new test.
Got it? Okay!
So this was Test #3
This little nugget is from Blue Grotto and happens in the Blue Grotto.
The giant magician Sinibaldus promised Rugerius Fabbro that he could break Anthea Manikos’ mind, make her forget about Pero de Alava and lust after him.
This was something Sinibaldus had done before with other people.
Problem was, when Sinibaldus entered her mind using the Bellerophon Crystal, he ran into a spirit unlike any spirit he had ever encountered before. This spirit was bright, beautiful and powerful. It rejected him and cast him out before he could corrupt her.
That had never happened to Sinibaldus.
Sinibaldus, for decades, had been trying to discover the secret to life and death so he could resurrect his death wife/mother, Claire. He sees this powerful unknown spirit living inside Anthea as a possible key to unlocking the mysteries.
In order to buy himself time with the new test subject, Sinibaldus lies to Rugerius and sends the castellan of Parthenope on a wild goose chase.
Sinibaldus already messed up and accidently allowed Pero de Alava to escape the beasts on Eagles Pass. Sinibaldus hadn’t told anyone about this truth until now.
He admits his failure to Rugerius and says that Anthea’s spirit is holding onto Pero’s spirit. As long as Pero is alive, the magic is powerless to turn Anthea or break her.
Rugerius is so spiteful and angry with Pero de Alava, the one who broke his jaw, he chooses to believe what Sinibaldus tells him.
Rugerius is determined to ride out on Eagles Pass and find Pero. He will, if he must, kill him and bring his head back in a sack.
AND NOW…
