"Permanent" You and Matt whisper. Matt continues, "We're really stuck like this?"
"Well...like I said before. You can separate at will, but I beleive that your time is limited to maybe...an hour...a day." Zedis sighs.
"Just an hour each day!" You exclaim. You and Matt glance at each other, horrified by that.
"It could also be possible that the time limit...might...extend with the more time you spend apart, but don't quote me on that. This kind of magic is...unfamiliar to me." Zedis said. He looked genuinely sad by the outcome. "I would also recomend trying this theory tomorow; I assume that you probably have already used up your time for today."
It went quite for a few moments. No one knew what to say next. Suddenly, Hector grew a smile. "Wait a minute. There actually might be away to free you from the curse."
All eyes shifted to Hector. Matt and I were hopefull, but Zedis was skeptical. Zedis said, "You don't mean..." Hector nodded. "Hector! You know very well how dangerous that would be. It could be suicide."
"I know Zedis...but it might be the only way to help them." Hector insisted.
Matt and you shared a confused look. You then turned to Hector. "What are you guys talking about?"
"We were discussing about retrieving a magical rod called The Staff of Apollo. It is said to be able to heal everything, even lift the most terrible of curses. I believe it could free the two of you...but..."
"But what?" Matt insisted.
"...But it is in the possession...of Zodis." Hector replied darkly.
