[English]

Little Fox.

>> When Zan awoke, he wasn't sure where he

was.

It was dark and a little chilly.

He rubbed his fingers together to create

a light, but nothing happened. That made

him wake up a little more.

As soon as he looked around though, he

remembered he was in the Hollow. Darb,

Perda, Gliss, and Zing were lying

nearby.

They'd all spent a cold, uncomfortable

night sleeping on the hard ground.

>> Oh.

>> Perda mumbled as she woke up.

>> It's freezing.

>> Indeed, the pre-dawn chill hung over the

swamp like a damp [music] blanket.

Without thinking, Zan tried to conjure

up a fire, but again, nothing happened.

>> Right, magic doesn't work in the Hollow.

>> He reminded himself.

Perda rubbed her eyes.

>> Hey.

>> She said, leaning over and poking Gliss.

>> Is that Darb's jacket?

>> Yeah.

>> Darb sat up and stretched.

>> Gliss was shivering last night, and I

figured she needed it more than I did.

>> That was just like Darb. He was always

willing to give up his own comfort to

help someone else.

Usually, it was one of the things Zan

liked about his friend.

But today, for some reason, it annoyed

Zan a little.

>> Nice of you to offer the jacket to the

rest of us.

>> Perda told Darb sarcastically, obviously

feeling the same way.

Darb didn't say anything, but Gliss sat

up and looked at Perda.

>> Sorry.

>> She said quickly.

>> I didn't ask him to give it to me.

Anyway, you guys are the ones who talked

me into staying out here.

>> What else are we supposed to do?

>> Zan said.

Do you want to go sit in your house all

alone and wait for Morb to come grab

you?

>> As soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Gliss's face fell, and a tear ran down

her cheek. Perda scowled at Zan.

>> That wasn't very [music] nice.

>> Sorry. Zan muttered.

>> What are we going to do?

>> Gliss asked in a shaky voice.

>> Morb blasted through my parents' shield

spell like it was nothing.

>> We've got to look for Baz's diary.

>> Dorb said.

>> And then what?

>> Gliss asked.

>> Even if the diary survived the

explosion, how are we supposed to get it

to the palace?

First City is halfway across Magica.

>> Why don't we take it to the mayor?

>> Dorb suggested.

>> Maybe she'll know what to do.

>> Gliss nodded, looking hopeful for the

first time.

>> Everyone says the mayor is the most

powerful Red in Swamp Bottom.

>> She shot a glance at Zan.

>> Well, except for Baz, but he's retired.

And missing.

>> Perda pointed out.

>> I think you're right about the mayor,

Dorb. She can help us if anyone can.

>> Zan shrugged. He was ready to get out of

the hollow.

Let's worry about all that later.

>> He said.

>> First, we need to find that diary.

>> Morb glared at the old woman facing him.

Her sunken eyes burned with disdain.

>> Why did you come today if you're not

going to help me?

>> He demanded.

>> I can't help you anymore. [music]

>> She croaked in a deep dark voice.

>> What you are doing is too much.

When we made our deal, I never intended

>> That's enough.

>> Morb thundered.

>> Who are you to lecture me about right

and wrong?

You're no better than I am.

>> The old woman's eyes narrowed.

>> Perhaps not.

>> She said in a low ominous voice.

>> But I have lived many years and seen

many things, including the downfall of

others who tried to do more than their

destinies allowed.

>> I believe in making my own destiny.

>> Morb retorted.

>> The woman shook her head.

>> Making your own destiny?

>> She said.

>> Or stealing it.

>> Morb's face [music] twisted with anger.

Ready to send a blast spell flying, he

rubbed his fingers together. The

friction made a crackling sound.

>> You know better than that.

>> The old woman said with a slight smile.

>> Like it [music] or not, you still need

me, Morb.

>> Morb lowered his hand.

>> Perhaps, he said.

But not for much longer.

>> For the first time, the old woman looked

worried.

>> What do you mean? Without my help, you

could never

>> I'm tired of this conversation.

>> Morb interrupted loudly.

He just noticed a swarm of flizzers

zipping in through the window.

>> Leave.

>> The old woman hesitated, her deep-set

eyes studying Morb's face with a mix of

curiosity [music] and dread. Slowly, she

turned and walked out of the room.

When she was gone, Morb stepped toward

the flizzers.

>> What have you brought me, my pretties?

>> he asked. Several of the tiny dragons

were struggling to carry pieces of

paper.

Morb grabbed the papers and examined

them.

A smile spread across his thin face.

>> Perfect, he said.

>> You've done well, my tiny friends.

>> Striding over to the secret eye, he

paused and glanced at the map image

hovering above it.

It was still blank with [music] no red

dots visible at all.

Never mind. The boy couldn't resist

using magic forever.

As soon as Xan slipped, Morb would

[music] be ready. He looked once more at

the blank images in his hand.

One showed the red girl whose parents

now languished in one of his cells. The

other picture was of the tall non-red

who had been with the others.

Morb stuffed both images into the secret

eye alongside the blank image of Baz's

grandson.

Nothing happened. No red dots appeared

on the map.

Morb scowled. He didn't have time to

stand here waiting [music] for those

foolish children to use magic.

His plans were underway and there was

still much to do.

He summoned several trolls.

"Watch the map." He ordered them.

"As soon as it shows the location of the

young fugitives, seize them and bring

them to me."

>> "I hope Zing stays and waits at the

Hollow."

>> Zan said.

>> "I know he wanted to come along,

but I'm afraid he'd attract too much

attention."

>> Zan and his friends were walking to

town. Dawn was breaking over the swamp.

The aurora birds were singing and lights

were coming on in the outlying homes the

kids were passing.

Darb shrugged.

>> "I did my best to convince him to stay."

>> That wasn't very comforting.

The dragon could be unpredictable. Plus,

Zan knew that Zing, like all magical

creatures, hated being anywhere near the

Hollow.

Still, there wasn't much he could do

about it.

They were soon in the more populated

part of town.

>> "Be careful."

>> Zan warned.

>> "We don't know what's been going on

around here since we went into hiding

yesterday."

>> Gliss rubbed her stomach.

>> "Was it only yesterday?

I feel as if I haven't eaten in days."

>> "Me, too, but we can eat later."

>> Zan said.

>> "First, we need to get to my house and

look for that diary.

And quickly, because Morb could have

spies anywhere."

>> Just then, a door slammed nearby.

A dragon scurried into the street and

let out a yip and a puff of steam.

>> [music]

>> It was a vapor bounder, a popular breed

due to its small size and friendly

disposition.

>> "Ozzie, stop!"

>> A voice called. A kid rushed out of the

house and scooped up the lively dragon.

>> "It's Jev!"

>> Gliss exclaimed. Before Zan could stop

her, she rushed forward calling his

name.

>> Jev!

>> Their classmate turned looking

surprised.

>> Gliss!

>> He exclaimed.

>> You're okay. Everyone heard your parents

are, you know, gone.

We assumed whoever took them took you,

too.

>> He almost did.

>> Gliss said.

>> Zan and Darb and Perta saved me.

>> Oh. Jev glanced at the others as they

caught up.

>> Yeah, we thought Zan got nabbed, too.

Especially after what happened to his

house.

>> Jev's tone made it very clear that he

wasn't particularly concerned about the

loss of Zan's house.

>> If you'll excuse us, we've got something

important to do.

>> Said Zan.

>> Jev ignored him.

>> I can't believe you guys are still

around.

>> He said, talking mostly to Gliss and

Perta.

>> Most of the reds in town are gone.

The only ones left are the mayor and a

couple of others who are hiding out with

her at the town hall.

>> So Morb hasn't broken the mayor's shield

spell?

>> Gliss asked.

>> Who's Morb?

>> Jev said.

>> He's the guy who's been taking all the

reds.

>> Perta explained.

>> Wait.

>> Zan put in.

>> We don't have time to

>> It was too late. [music] The girls told

Jev everything they'd found out. Zan

felt anxious as he listened. He didn't

like the idea of telling his enemy all

their secrets.

>> Wait.

>> Jev said.

>> Are you telling me this Morb guy is a

void?

>> He glanced at Darb and smirked.

>> No way. Everyone knows voids are useless

at magic and most other things, too.

>> Darb didn't respond.

>> Zan clenched his fists to stop himself

from giving Jev another set of donkey

ears.

>> We need to keep moving.

>> He told his friends.

>> You'd better be careful.

>> Jev said.

>> A bunch of tiny, weird-looking dragons

have been flying around town stinging

people.

>> Stinging dragons?

>> Darb spoke for the first time since

they'd bumped into Jev.

>> What do they look like?

>> Don't ask me. I didn't see them.

>> Jev said.

>> But I heard they swarmed the school last

night and grabbed some papers or

something from the office.

>> Darb looked at Xan.

>> Those could be the same tiny dragons we

saw in the swamp yesterday.

>> Xan shrugged.

>> Maybe.

>> He said.

But listen, we really need to get

moving.

>> Xan's right.

>> Perda said.

She turned to Jev.

>> Will you do me a favor and tell my

family that I'm okay?

>> Mine, too.

>> Darb put in quietly.

>> Please.

>> Why should I?

>> Said Jev.

>> Please, Jev.

>> Said Gliss.

>> My parents will be going crazy with

worry if it were me.

>> Her lower lip trembled.

>> If they were still around, I mean.

>> Okay, okay.

>> Jev said quickly. I was just kidding.

I'll tell them.

>> Just then, the dragon in his arms

wriggled loose.

>> Hey, get back here, Hazy.

>> He rubbed his hands together, conjuring

up a dragon harness.

Then, he chased after his pet.

Xan reminisced. It felt strange to know

that he couldn't even conjure up

something as simple as that harness

right now.

>> [music]

>> He wasn't used to living without magic.

How did Darb do it?

>> Let's go.

>> He told his friends.

>> We've wasted enough time already.

>> Soon, they were several blocks away.

>> We should have asked Jev to conjure some

breakfast for us.

>> Perda said.

>> Oh.

>> Gliss stopped short.

>> Why didn't I think of that? Maybe we

should go back.

>> Xan stopped,

>> too.

>> We don't have time.

>> Just then, his stomach grumbled, and he

thought of something.

>> Why are we assuming that Perda can't use

magic?

She's not a red.

I'm sure it's safe for her to conjure

some breakfast for us.

>> Do you really think that's a good idea?

>> Darb seemed dubious.

>> That makes total sense, Xan.

>> Said Gliss.

>> Morb's only after reds, right?

Perda can probably do all the magic she

wants and Mor won't care at all.

>> Perda licked her lips.

>> How do you pucker berry pancake sound?

>> Great, Zan said, but hurry.

Perda rubbed her hands together and then

held them facing upward.

A second later, a steaming platter of

[music] food appeared.

>> Yum.

>> Gliss exclaimed.

Just then, a large hulking figure

appeared casting a dark shadow over

everyone.

Then, another figure appeared and

another.

Perda screamed and dropped the plate of

food which shattered at her feet.

>> [music]

>> Trolls!

>> She cried.
