The King: The Castle Builder and The Magician (cont).
The Castle Builder contacted the Magician to say that sorry the papers were not ready yet, but they were nearly ready and there was one or two small details to clarify before they could be dispatched. The magic has to be cast in two phases and in which order were the spells going to be done?……and the Castle Builder suggested a change to the payment schedule: with the magician getting more for services in the middle of the performance and less at the end.
The reason for the delay was due to the fact that there are two Kings. One rules the town and looks after the good townsfolk, the other King rules the wide spaces and lands around the town. Now your magic falls into the communal spaces that are owned by no-one, but used by everyone and if the magic needs repair or modification later after the Castle Builder has gone away to other lands, which King is the one who will contact you the Magician for magic repair or advise?
The Magician has been busy working with both animals and children in wild places and spent little time in his potions cellar. Some of his recent spells and tricks can be seen without you even having to get out of your chair. The magic is brought all the way to you, as if you had visited the places.
