Chapter 9

“ANTIGOR THERE ARE PEOPLE TRAPPED IN THIS BOX!!!”

Ifer is screaming pointing at the television. Antigor sighs “it’s just a television, Ifer. It’s like it’s showing you something that already happened or is happening currently, like a crystal ball.”

“What is this? Some warlock sorcery you know about?” Ifer asks skeptically.

“No Ifer, this is technology, they don’t have magic in this realm, I can tell, my powers are all gone. I’m just a normal human now, no more warlock.” Antigor responds matter-o-factly.

“What, wait, seriously? You have like no magic at all? Not even an abracadabra?” Ifer jokes.

Antigor rolls his eyes and turns back to the book he was reading.

“Yo Antigor, seriously though are you okay man? That shit was always really important to you even before we were Tieflings. Does Drako know?”

“Yes I am fine Ifer and no Drako doesn’t know and if he finds out I will know who told him.” Antigor says a little too harshly.

Ifer crosses his arms and lays down on the bed with his back facing Antigor, “I was just trying to make sure you we’re okay man no reason to be a dick…” he mumbles under his breath. Suddenly the phone rings. Antigor springs from the chair over the other bed to the center of the room and snatches the phone up answering it and immediately turning it on speaker.

“Hello?”

“Hey babe, how are you guys doing today?” Drakocarr asks on the other end.

“Oh pretty good, we’ve just been chilling. I found a library nearby I walked to and checked out some books and Ifer learned all about television today, isn’t that right Ifer?” Antigor says in a slightly mocking voice, “He can hear you by the way I have you on speaker.”

“Hey Ifer, did you get any more iced coffee today?”

“I may or may not have gone to Tim Horton’s six different times today.” Ivan jokes.

“That sounds fun, glad you found the library Antigor, I know how much you love reading. Do you guys want to come out with me and some of the other prospects tonight? We are going to Toronto’s biggest gay bar and I would love for you two to come with.” Drakocarr asks crossing his fingers.

“Absolutely” Ifer and Antigor say simultaneously.

“No offense babe, I’m sure you’ve been having a crazy day but it’s been boring as hell here and I could use some music and dancing to get rid of these feelings I’ve been having lately” Antigor explains.

“Did you think a bard was going to be the one to say “oh no please don’t take me to the music and dancing”? Besides I could use me a man I’m sick of always being the third wheel to you two.” Ifer chimes in.

“Honestly I’m tired of you being the third wheel too,” Antigor says a little too rudely for the second time in 10 minutes.

Ifer shrugs shaking off the harsh words of Antigor, he is going through a lot with the loss of his powers, thinks Ifer, I should give him some free passes tonight.

“Alright well I’m sending you guys the address now, I will see you both there!”
