Extremely angry at the current situation, Jasmine stormed down to the basement to see the wizard.
As she stepped off of the last step onto the floor, she witnessed a small explosion happen directly before her. Smoke filled the air and she heard someone coughing. When the air cleared, she saw the wizard. His face was covered in ash. His eyes went wide when he saw her.
"Oh, my lady. I didn't see you there."
"What are you doing?" she asked. At the moment, her anger had subsided. She was interested by the wizard's "experiments".
"Just trying out a new spell. I guess it didn't work." He stepped toward Jasmine. "What do you need, luv?"
As she recalled why she had come down to see the wizard, her anger came back. "I need a way to use this damn stone. That's what I need."
"Actually, there may be another way to use it. Other than getting the sultan and his new wife to use it."
This peaked her attention. "Really? Do tell me."
