Merryn flopped onto the last stair, dragging in burning breaths. Should have looked for another way. She gulped in another breath, then stood.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAFWwb5uCCzr
The room was large and gray, there were four pillars at different ends.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAvULH4vngrG
Long black ordinate tapestries hung on poles by the walls, they are the only decoration. This place wasn't right, everything was off about it.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAEJTTJ5sHsq
The shadows under the tapestries should have ran along the floor, but instead they went up the wall onto the ceiling. The only light came from globes on the ceiling.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAGvklJxGIUl
A sensation of just before falling crept up inside. She grabbed a pillar as the floor was gone. No, it's still there.
948Please respect copyright.PENANABPn70gJCOm
At the left end of the room another staircase, again leading up.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA7Tn1YuLMb6
A low chuckle filled the room. She spin around.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAstVsoVn1Pw
"Hey!"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAR6LCeYAqf0
No reply.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA5DWNzXldNR
She ran up the new flight of stairs, it was shorter then the last. On this level several hallways intersected. Now what way? Left? Okay, fine left.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAw4VFmCqFh7
Glowing globes floating above half bowl steel bases lined the walls, turning on one by one as she passed.
948Please respect copyright.PENANABuPYA6jC0F
A metallic armored humanoid creature passed by, it had faintly glowing runes etched onto its armor, he crouched.
948Please respect copyright.PENANArZXHkTx4vY
"I am the caretaker here. Fail any challenge here and..."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAIlvb9BnXiC
He paused; as did her breath.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAavHjRoji7K
He ran a finger across his neck.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAwfmzJJFS95
She swallowed hard.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAImDVwnhU2G
He stood with an arm stretched out and pointed down the hallway.
"Go."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAnOSHahon30
She took off down it.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAJ76ELH7TGt
The globes lit the way, several paintings of people and landscapes decorated the walls between them.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAuftn50Rjrs
An intersection appeared at it's end. It wasn't empty, she skidded to halt as a little porcelain doll in a frilly pink dress was sitting at the middle with its legs sticking straight out under the filly dress.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAanzQc6tTsX
A monotone music played from it, a large wind up key on its side turned slowly around.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAZqXjedzm8R
The doll's lurched forward, its curly hair flopping forward over it's blue painted eyes. Moving in slow motion onto its cracked hands it pushed up and stood, the hinges of its mouth creaked as it opened.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA2BuLzfWpuu
"Of pictures eight and light divine, fix the order or thy life be mine."
948Please respect copyright.PENANASMDC0OyGXR
The hairs on her arms and neck stood and a tingling marched down her neck. Was this a cursed spirit?
948Please respect copyright.PENANAeAFJUvcIT8
The doll's mouth opened wide and flames streamed out, the heat searing her arms face. She jumped back, then rubbed face and arms chasing away the heat. Perhaps this wasn't the right way to go?
948Please respect copyright.PENANAvgxaHwusBV
She turned around.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA03XPyKE1TN
The doll blocked her way.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAaUjTRtAbow
"Only one way. You forfeit the game?" Its eyes glittered.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA2r18YEuGmP
All her skin tingled. Magic of some sort, had to be. Had. To. Be.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAYV5q0vQ8SP
She went back.
948Please respect copyright.PENANArsFNm29CKd
So too the doll.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAfySNrHV4AP
It stood quietly; the shadows cast by the light darkened it's brow.
948Please respect copyright.PENANARxIeIuaCah
Pictures of eight? Divine light?
948Please respect copyright.PENANA6zUewik7Wd
She rubbed her forearm and walked around careful not to turn around. It said pictures and lights. Pictures and lights. Lights and pictures. Ah?
948Please respect copyright.PENANA4jS9NQKHFp
On closer inspection the paintings were in an odd order between the globes.
948Please respect copyright.PENANALlZ4eNRBbe
She paced the hallway inspecting each painting. How many? Count them?
948Please respect copyright.PENANAllSaMWd2BG
None totaled to eight, the same with the globes.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA5P7xUQdWGl
Humm... 48 pictures, and 24 globes. Eight? She rubbed her wrist, frowning.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAbK9z28gfAe
The pictures blurred from staring at them. Rubbing her forehead, she closed her eyes for a moment. Relax, can't blast through this.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAQBEzlD3EtN
She took one down, rolling it in her hands, then putting it back on the wall.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAC5QOjEWXUu
The doll stepped forward, the gears grinding and clicking.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA5tgPQsCfel
"First mistake is made two more to pain."
948Please respect copyright.PENANABKrDo5eXWz
Oh-oh. Now what? Count them again? Length, width, the diameter? Gods, what if its the color? Another amount?
948Please respect copyright.PENANAYkNVn45nol
She sat down slowly on the floor and untied all the pouches dumping them into a pile. Ahead it hadn't moved the doll's glass eyes glinted.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA2HHP8njOBR
She sorted the various items into smaller piles, potions in one, thief picks in another. A linen thread was tangled around one of the metal tools, she put it aside.
948Please respect copyright.PENANACtkcwEnjZl
It was probably pointless, but sifted through everything again just in case something could help.
948Please respect copyright.PENANACZu8IrPT2r
Picking up the thread again, she fiddled with it. Wrapping it around thumb and pointer finger bouncing it. Of course! She jumped up going over to the nearest globe. It'll be rough, but should work. Keeping the thread wrapped around thumb and pointer finger, she measured the nearest globe.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAIZeJ8MFLFj
The span of a hand from palm to the thumb is about six inches. What if .. 48 pictures ÷ the 6 inches of the globes? Eight it always comes up as eight. But eight what, eight pictures?
948Please respect copyright.PENANASuQvWxofa9
Between each of the globes were four pictures over lapping leaving no room for any others. Taking the pictrues down her hands shook. Forty eight total.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAGdml0zZYLf
Eyeing the doll, it hadn't moved.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAQetFZFnEVT
With a picture in hand, she went back to the wall again. The globes were spread several feet from the others. Walking over next to the wall, she stepped heal-toe counting each one.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAkaL90gEhtG
Eight steps. Maybe?
948Please respect copyright.PENANAQsHHkoRW4K
Repeating this the amount is consistent. This should...
948Please respect copyright.PENANA22HQEwHYSg
She places the picture eight feet next to the first globe, then stepped back her breaths shallow and heartbeat loud.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA5zD4iy5QKi
The doll's eyes flashed.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAvIxOtCHwhI
"That is... correct."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAgfJw0qQAOZ
Alright, then. She placed the rest also eight feet apart between the remaining globes. The doll still blocked the way. Was something missing?
948Please respect copyright.PENANAcxrqb1YwoC
She breathed in.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA7Jwpt0hBKd
"The globes." She nodded. Just do it.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAKk1FhR4XQc
A few minutes later she placed all the globes on the floor, and replaced eight between the pictures.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAe2Ckv9sP2l
"One more mistake will sign your fate."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAJNDxDd0Rfe
The words echoed through the hall.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAkPjXVmNnq4
Her hands shook while taking them down again. Eight, eight, eight, eight, starting to hate eight!
948Please respect copyright.PENANA9wgojQt4eC
Arrg! Picking up a globe in each hand, she nearly shattered them against the wall. Two Of course!
948Please respect copyright.PENANAEy4s3vIV4b
She took the globes placing them back, but left out every second one.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAD7higf5uZl
"That is ... correct thou may pass."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAqnxeYxwm0v
It went over to the wall, fading as it did.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAxeZ2LsWVcL
Merryn raced down the hallway on the right, another flight of stairs loomed. Several hours passed before reaching its top. It was like this place was taller inside then out, some sort of old magics at work.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA5A67CoFUsA
The animals were more aggressive, old less used magics cropping up, what next?
948Please respect copyright.PENANA1zaCdnaQ8V
Unnamed chuckled.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAJMbTf0r8Es
Ah, right an old god awakening. It seemed like people too were different somehow, but as to what it was hard to pinpoint. Only Parcival and Han seemed unchanged.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAIUYE5hP9yo
Bending over hand on knee, she dragged in hot breaths. The air was thick, she struggled to draw in a breath. Sweat driped off her forehead, she wiped it away. Not a single port stone, how did these people get around without dying from old age?
948Please respect copyright.PENANAfaEvywLEvF
She froze.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAhmffHyJbQG
A soft crinkling filled the room ahead. It stopped.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAwwbZpvYQAR
What trap or puzzle will it be this time? The tiles? Drapes coming to life? The hallway on the left crashing down? It was hard moving into the room, every wisp of her being howled; just run back down.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAO4I0jhkUMT
The walls were curved with odd shaped windows that also were curved fro the top, the sides, then went straight down with a flat bottom. Most of the tiled floor was covered with a fancy ornamental blue and black rug, stepping on it, she went over to the odd window ahead.
948Please respect copyright.PENANABNRzJPNOYf
Crinkle. Cackle. Pop.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAoAFpjcpfM6
"Gah!"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAc59H7XWa65
The carpet under foot shuffled, and rolled up and down in a wave.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA08BXSIgRT9
She stumbled back back peddling away.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAXFXigLK6pb
The carpet bubbled, steam hissed from them as they burst.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAULL6yycA8D
Oh gods.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA31zUvNw1Bd
The edges of the carpet turned black and crinkled cracking again randomly.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAG00MgB1DYn
Dark veins slowly threaded throughout it from the blackened edges and pulsed merging at the center forming an intertwined circle.
948Please respect copyright.PENANANJiTVRctpE
The carpet levataed, twirling around it self becomeing taller and thiner, and taking on a humanoid outline.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAJQaMP5eZC6
She backed further as it tightened in on itself, smoothing over the humanoid outline. Details of a shadowy robed woman emerged.
948Please respect copyright.PENANARxhShIj0s0
Not just old magics here, but dark, ones grandmother spoke of during the yearly Moon Out.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAdiA8YOl5Q5
Reality was far worse. She swallowed hard as the shadowy fourm lightend to that of a woman.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAGm4QsyV1AI
The woman had white hair up on a tight apple bun. Her eyes were an unblinking milky white that seemed to be far too aware.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAR1Lo9Ve6mE
Her eyebrows, lashes, and lips weren't much better and were of bright red that contrasted with her translucent porcelain, heart shaped face. The woman wore an elaborate red and white tight dress of a criss crossing checker pattern. Her nails like silver talons were long and filed to a point.
948Please respect copyright.PENANASXUdnku7Ip
"Welcome, won't you sit down?"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAdZPoMIhnmC
She startled at how soft and musical her voice was, guess in part expecting it to be more like a harpy's screech.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAnnHhucPDPU
"I'm tired of all this. Where are my friends?"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAZPDmsLb1Gv
The woman ignored her and pointed to a chair near the window and bookshelf.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAlP5xkkmab2
Manners would be wise with this one. The hairs on her arms kept raising and lowering, with every movement the woman made.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAX6dGFqO4t2
"I don't feel like sitting. What is your name if I might ask?"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAlEiqjdmMTM
The woman turned exactly to where Merryln stood.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAHSjDeZYOeq
"Rouge. I will give you your next challenge. I don't know of your friends, it's hard to keep tally of the scrubs that are brought here."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAuTlpwc6hLg
She walked over to a candle on a table, ran her fingers over it and the wick lit immediately.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAVWDDKqFXbG
Merryn choked back a gasp. Apparently not enough as the woman smiled some.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAHedkG6CQsq
"If you win, then go through the right corridor. You find the newest scrubs in there, perhaps they are who you're looking for. If you lose-"
948Please respect copyright.PENANACbQw3YhN0u
Rouge paused, staring straight at her.
948Please respect copyright.PENANArfQNoVhxbB
Her red rimmed lips parted into an odd smile, like that of a dragon looking down at it's next meal.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA9B9up7FMQM
Merryn's stomach became acidic and clenched, she stood as streight as possible fighting an urge to rub her arm.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAlOVuDwMJ6k
Rouge brandished two gleaming rows of delicately pointed teeth. While white they had a pink tint between them, as to what it was?
948Please respect copyright.PENANABd5gbiT97z
"Then I will skin you alive." Rogue's gaze was oddly intense.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAky23ula1Xd
She shivered.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAuhN8ZgWize
"Tell me then, what is it you want?"
948Please respect copyright.PENANA4kWo6DkLm2
Rouge cuped her hands as she went over to the large lamp at the end of the room. She flicked her wrist upwards, a sword dropped out of the air. She caught it with one hand.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAiqN5WF6AQW
"You ever play hide and seek as a child? I'll be 'it'.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA1FqvBTn60I
She sliced the blade back and fourt.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAa64Jvlg8er
"Don't be caught too quickly now."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAnAcZ4hwiUP
Rouge came over and pinched the side of her face.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA9etXPaj9mf
"This will only be temporary. If you win that is."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAavCapQd27J
Her hand flowed over Merryn's face, and touched her eyes.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAdVH2u4frZK
She blinked, all was hazy, then this faded to black. Her breath stuck in her throat, she hyperventilated and wheezed.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAmEkdml6gab
"What did you do!" She shreaked.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAdMIwUpvgtD
She backed away hands held out, tryingto find something, anything! She smacked into the chair, tripped and fell to her knees.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAdVo6iIU4lB
Rouges voice appeared before her.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAbTNNs80g5k
"You will have to the count of five to hide. If I fail to find you, your sight will be restored. If you find me first I will let you pass."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAbyQIyAvxPS
Shuffling now.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAnlzRRDYtr7
"Their are five ball bearings in this hourglass. When the last one falls, I will seek."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAsUPBXFpJBN
Rouge's breath hot on her neck, her nails trailed down stinging.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAnf2rzJ2bXj
"The count starts, now."
948Please respect copyright.PENANARL8vg2ZQjk
A trickle of sweat came down her neck. She wiped it away; it smeared? The sharp tang of blood filled her nose. The scraches hit full fource. She cuped her neck, shaking.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAZhlGyMCx7Z
Scrambling forward, holding her hands out they slapped into a wall?
948Please respect copyright.PENANA33ICyVv82H
Ping.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAMr6CoJtvVi
Crap!
948Please respect copyright.PENANAhvcsoApAZn
With the wall guiding her she followed it. A while later smacked into a hard, flat surface. Quickly running her hands over its tops and sides. A table. Following its end to nothingness!
948Please respect copyright.PENANA0jpEXzVIys
"Aaaah!"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAoPOiCemRSo
landing on to her side, she slid down several steps.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAgAh3hnNJGg
Clink.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAJA44mvzsbC
How many was it? Hide. Hide! Hide now!
948Please respect copyright.PENANAzaYsUtvfPv
She crawled around witha hand out in front. Her fingers brushed a hard and smooth object next to the wall that headed down. She grasped it. She flitted her hands into space and almost tipped over forward. More stairs. Going back she cluched the banaster and worked her way down.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA8jpgZ7cnty
There was a faint smell of roses and sandalwood. The stairwell ended and the wall led to a door, the scent was strongest here.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAfopgGzfKGp
She followed the wall in the room cautiously. A bedroom as there was furniture and a bed so far. A cold breeze blew on her hands, following the wall led to a window carved into the wall. Another wall to right. Back over to the bed she ran both hands down it. Maybe go under it?
948Please respect copyright.PENANASZT2hO7rWn
Tink.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAvoofaxmWbD
Four!
948Please respect copyright.PENANASwcWsf5Wvb
Fugh! The window. Back over at it she pulled up onto the ledge. Her heart doing a bouncing act in her chest and throat.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAJETpaExSw6
Dink!
948Please respect copyright.PENANAUMzaU1Z42x
Reaching out the ledge extended some from the window, but not much.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA1NazSELKBM
Footsteps.
948Please respect copyright.PENANANXqpxnrKId
Following the window all around she bumped into a small hard object on the left.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAekCOOi3vd1
It seemed big enough. Stupid hands shook making it hard to pull up onto it. She strattled it clinging tight.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAE52l4uGnDt
Footsteps were closer now.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAzDI5C9v9f9
What if this is her room? Idiot!
948Please respect copyright.PENANArXAxmXhZQw
Whats that fluttering?
948Please respect copyright.PENANASWYzifrLA9
A soft pita-pat-a and scratching.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAQmRckqWZ3E
"I know you're near, I can smell you. Fear wraps you and betrays you."
948Please respect copyright.PENANA9t8k6Mwjpb
Rouge snarled.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAMMWS4dEp9r
Fanning her hands out led to nothing.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAp8O6HYsZDO
Clank.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAxOuclGgglS
"Come out child the game is over. I tire of this."
948Please respect copyright.PENANASvNzY2poAw
She scrambled back inside. Rogue was there in an instant her fingers flowing over Merryn's eyes. Blinking and her sight flooded back.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAjFqPr3zZjj
Rouge sniffed.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA24yZkHQarV
"Before I became blind, you know how I got the stripes on this dress so bright red?"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAspj7PxsxT7
talons
948Please respect copyright.PENANABj2yOyrK0D
Rouge traced a talon along the top of her hand, cutting a thin line before she could move away. She caught a blood drop on its tip and licked it.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAZUTPgp5jCv
Merryn backed away runing back and out almost going back down the stairwell. No! Not after all that.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAhKszWo5Erf
She swung around 360° on the pads of her feet and ran down the right corridor.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAYmwLHT3Q2w
While near the top of the tower, Rouge's laughter echoed behind her.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA5tHYlIXN1F
At the toop a long halway that led to another door. Peaking inside the circular room it was dark and mostly empty. Parcival and Han both were slumped on the floor.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA0BeWvWuTp4
"Parcival, Han!"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAQGlpu4xFJa
Bending over she patted Parcivall's shoulder.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAOIG8vroYnC
He moaned and frowned.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAECjqbxJ7Ql
"Hey!"
948Please respect copyright.PENANA0voOP6kpSd
He squinted and rubbed a bump on the side if his head.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAPNZLfRpg3V
"Where?"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAewHecnogTr
"The Tower of Focus."
948Please respect copyright.PENANA1Px5Mq9z2x
He arched his eyebrows and shook his head. "The gods save us."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAPRaAF9WKlr
"Did you see who took you here?
948Please respect copyright.PENANAhIFFFt64sA
She patted Han's shoulder until awoke. He muttered, sitting and squinted at the light that steamed in though the window.
948Please respect copyright.PENANANLEe90dfRc
"We have to get back to the elders and warn them of a traitor."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAWMGLOdltVn
"So you-"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAH36apVSQrJ
"No." He looked away as if thinking.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAOi9hOvpDPK
"I was cold-conked from behind. Then woke up in here."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAK5jozrwVpw
Han pipes in.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA1klfcToROp
"I might have seen something green boots with silver threading."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAtutYxEyvaG
"Not much to go by but better then nothing."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAorPGXPaGmL
They got up and headed to the door.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAmoNQKMysit
"Wait."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAjkNKciwRwe
Parcival turned.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAeBEF0W85Rl
"What is it?"
948Please respect copyright.PENANA6cbrPvkhpO
She went over and hugged him quick then went out.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAnminFJkHrz
"We better hurry up they seem to have mistaken me for some one else."
948Please respect copyright.PENANACgdtWDpssZ
Parcival walked beside her as they went back down the stairs.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAaNzS6WZEUN
He blinked repeatedly.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAUAUMVhowLQ
"Who's mistaken, you?"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAzpoR5JvYAi
"The elders and the guards. Some one tried to assassinate Raimo."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAgKPv0e8Ho5
He startled and his face became a wall.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAyyHuTw4njf
"They walk, but are dead." His voice was low and cold.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAz5leERlLmD
He stiffned. "Did you say this was The Tower of Focus?"
948Please respect copyright.PENANANYuN6cHT2I
"Yes."
948Please respect copyright.PENANANracFAR1rT
"If we don't leave this tower by sundown we will be stuck in here permanently. This is one of three of the Old ones towers. Anyone that tallys too long will gradually have all energy drained. At sundown its doors lock and the windows disappear."
948Please respect copyright.PENANA25uq0xOCuG
The glare from the sun was now half its current size.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA21swJRIxiT
"I'd say it's twilight we have a half hour of Civil twilight before it fully sets."
948Please respect copyright.PENANApBXwU5z179
Civil twilight?
948Please respect copyright.PENANAxepVTAwnws
They sprinted down the stairs teo at a time. Han bounded down several at a time, his tail swinging back and fourth and reached the bottom first.
948Please respect copyright.PENANASqYfYjbYoR
The long shadows that sprayed across the white walls were angular and thin, they move at random angles as she followed.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAYtBD3ROwJ1
A monotone melody played downstairs dampened by the distance, sharpening as they descend.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAq6wogm6K54
A child like giggle raised the hairs on her arms.
948Please respect copyright.PENANA2nioi3j0bH
"Do you hear that?
948Please respect copyright.PENANAnEWoAOGbDc
Han's ears rotated back and fourth.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAjiwWv7EO0P
"Yes, it's coming closer what ever it is."
948Please respect copyright.PENANAp8REvDF97X
A small figure streaked out the corner of her eye.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAfmNqOTot3J
"What the hell was that?"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAIeXaxKTsTy
"The sun has almost set what ever it is ignore it and sprint to the exit. Now!"
948Please respect copyright.PENANAbZUR1SW05v
She grasped both of the men's hands chanted mentally the sprint spell. It's warmth flowed over to them. They raced to the exit.
948Please respect copyright.PENANAifQyvPzx8R
Outside the last rays of the sun sank below the skyline.
