The Temple Of Ghosts
Littlegirl
spends a lot of time with a mysterious being who introduced himself as
wizard Merlin, and is trapped in the blue crystal. He is her little
secret; her aunts do not know about him. With his help, Littlegirl
learns that her grandmother is dead. Littlegirl’s whole world
collapses. She realizes that she has nowhere to return to.
However,
Merlin convinces Littlegirl that it is possible to resurrect her
grandmother. Indeed, one part of her body still survives, in the shape
of the little bird that was waiting for her when she came to
Mezzarthys. To resurrect her, they need hair from the last days of her
life.
Dereq
tells Littlegirl that Hissatam is planning to go to the Lands of
Dragons. Littlegirl decides to use this opportunity to get hold of some
of Grandmother’s hair and have her resurrected. She follows Hissatam,
who guards the only known, fully functioning gateway. Merlin supports
her and advises her constantly. He needs a magical sword from the Lands
of Dragons, so he can free himself from the crystal. In the meantime,
Hissatam finds Littlegirl’s drawing, in which her spy, an extremely
bigheaded tomcat Vassilli, who lives in the house with witches,
Littlegirl’s great aunts, wrapped his report. Immediately she grasps
that a child from the Lands of Dragons made the drawing and sends her
servant Bazaltras to find her. In the Temple of Ghosts, Yambzrana, Littlegirl releases herself from her body and passes, with Hissatam, to the other side…
