Chapter 8

Aster confused what else to do. He only thought of his red pearl necklace if it could produce power. Immediately his hand grabbed the red pearl and faced the wolf incarnate Queen Louis.

  Slowly the wolf weakened until it finally transformed into Queen Louis again. Seeing the change in form, made the magician Fransiscus furious. He again threw fireballs at her. While Queen Louis is still asleep after changing form.

  "Zozofa fafano! Zozofa fafano!" shouted Aster while pointing her wand at the wizard Franciscus.

  Suddenly, the wizard Fransiscus' body turned into a dwarf after Aster cast his magic spell. He also woke up Queen Louis to continue his journey again to get the crystal stone.

  "Queen Louis! Queen Louis! Wake up! Come on, let's get that crystal stone before the witch Francis does evil to us again!" shouted Aster while holding Queen Louis' shoulders.

  With her gaze still weakened, Queen Louis finally woke up as well. He immediately woke up while remembering the incident before he turned into a wolf.

  "Aster, where is the wizard Francis? Did you conquer?" asked Queen Louis curiously.

  "Witch Fransiscus is under the soles of my feet. I turned him into a dwarf! I accidentally stepped on him. Come on, let's continue our journey again, we'll be there soon," Aster said while squeezing the wizard Fransiscus' body tightly so he couldn't get in his way again. .

  Both of them now choose to run so they can get to where the crystal stone is. Before the wizard Fransiscus changed himself back to his original form.

  After running fast enough, finally the crystal stone is now in front of him. Asti's heart was immediately relieved when she managed to find the crystal stone safely. Queen Louis who was standing beside him immediately invited him to touch the crystal stone.

  "Come on, let's touch these crystal stones together before the witch Franciscus comes to attack us again!" take Queen Louis to Aster.

  Aster immediately followed what was ordered by Queen Louis. They both held the crystal stone at the same time.

  Suddenly the stone gave off a very bright light and the atmosphere that had been snowing, had now turned into the palace again. Aster immediately smiled at Queen Louis for his success. He looked at the magic book he was holding was very thick. Until he gave Queen Louis a number of questions.

"Queen Louis, when will the exam to strengthen my magic end? Isn't it only page five? Will I be strong if I study to the last page?" asked Aster out of curiosity.

  "Of course you can Aster. You can definitely strengthen magic. George's magic is very strong. I can't fight it alone. He even intends to drink water from the spring beside the purple river like the one you drank yesterday just to  strengthen his knowledge. Therefore, only you can do this test to be able to defeat the wizard George," Queen Louis said as he kept the crystal stone in the gold box.

  Aster was silent hearing the explanation from Queen Louis because he did not know how it could be if only he could defeat the wizard George when he was only a real human who initially did not have magical powers.

  Still curious, Aster again asked the use of the things he had gotten so far.

  "Before I turn to the next page, what are the uses of the things I've obtained so far?" Aster asked frankly out of curiosity.

  "You will know when you reach the last page. Now, continue your journey to strengthen your magic," said Queen Louis as she left Aster alone in the palace.

  Aster immediately opened the sixth page of the book. As usual, the pages of the book he opened immediately took him somewhere. This time he was in the middle of a very hot desert. He immediately looked for clues on the pages of the book.

  "I have to look for the golden egg in the hole between the sand mountains? Well, I'll definitely find it!" said Aster while walking on the dry desert.

  So far, no distractions or obstacles have come his way. However, he remained on guard because at any time someone might attack him.

  After walking for a long time, there came a man carrying an arrow while riding a horse from behind his body. The arrow that was thrown almost hit Aster's body. The man kept throwing his arrows at Aster's body.

  While Aster continued to run but there was no safe hiding place for him. All the vast land is just a desert without any trees. Finally he used his wand. He immediately took off his trousers to turn into something he could use to protect himself.

  He immediately changed his trousers into a protective suit made of thick aluminum to withstand the attacks of sharp objects. He quickly put it on. The man kept throwing arrows at Aster's body. However, because Aster was wearing protective clothing, the arrow fell in the desert.

  Aster continued to walk through the hot desert without any trees. Until he walked by the old well. There was a white-haired man who was fetching water from a well.

  Aster immediately approached the old man to ask for water taken from the well. Because he was very thirsty. The sun was scorching hot on his skin. His throat began to dry and he made a very fast pace to get to the well.

  It was only after he was near the old geezer that he asked permission to ask for water.

  "Excuse me, may I ask for some water? I'm very thirsty," Aster said while holding his throat.

  But the old man didn't answer his question. But the water he just took was given to Aster without saying anything. Despite his doubts, Aster accepted the water and drank it immediately.

  "Thank you for this drinking water, if I may ask, what's Grandpa's name?" asked Aster while looking at the old grandfather's face.

  Again the old man in front of him did not answer his question but only gave him a piece of paper with the words 'David' written on it.

  From this, Aster concluded that the old man in front of him was named David. When he finished staring at the paper he was holding, the old man suddenly disappeared from before him. He felt confused and tried to find out where Grandpa David had gone.

  "Grandpa David! Where's Grandpa?" shouted David as he walked around the old well.

   Inadvertently his eyes fell on the well. He immediately looked into the old well. He was surprised to see Grandpa David was in the well in a state of death.
