The next morning they left to the mountains. Sharp jolts coursed through her back as she stood. Should be healed by now.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAepJL8ePFRd
Through the white ... all that was visible was Parcival's blue cloak flapping in the wind. A strong gust pushed her back.
949Please respect copyright.PENANADErvkGzbv8
He took hold of her hand, then turned and plowed ahead.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAy3QCVnaxNm
Han slid back keeling as another gust pushed on them.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAh9iSetcCPy
She extended her hand to him.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAYF7APpdM77
Han took it mouthing: 'Thanks.'
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8flf6LSRbl
She nodded.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAGRlGhCpy7x
They linked as a chain and proceeded up the path.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA0UgvcXYztP
The blizzard reduced visibility to only a few feet. She squinted hard. A punishment from Olenus?
949Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ4PuDX1Az
Gripping Parcival's shoulder, she pointed to the left at a large fissure on the mountainside, everyone squeezed into the opening.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAlCAB9NTBQa
She exhaled and shivered.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAODJ2TbIdke
"I want to ask you something," Parcival said.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAc1XVyiQrO5
She gingerly laid back against the stone. "What is it?" Her shoulders tensed.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAdlOCzUtiv4
He faced to the side quiet for a moment.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAj3P2nUVPzB
"You died. I saw it. The priest was crazy, but still, without him, you'd still be dead."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAyylnjyMWwR
Merryn fiddled with a loose threadbare tie on her boot.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAgJqWPnOMMS
"He hurt me." She clenched her jaw. Not hating him was hard. She breathed in and whispered a quick prayer.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAeQIYJbUPx3
His brow deepening between his eyes, the ridges gave a deeper air of seriousness than usual.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAqhXFp6OmO9
"I want you to come with me. This infection is causing something, it's damaging more than just your body."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAVrtPracCwk
Infection? You could be called that.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAccDStlbiVq
He will die first.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAub68I3G2fn
Doubt it.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA1QIec7Zztt
"And, where?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAa3CqOXGprh
"Back to my city Luna-jer."
949Please respect copyright.PENANA9ExyXNQwmZ
"I doubt much could be done. I'll think about it. That's enough talk. I need to rest."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAdwDeHBEwJ0
Leaning back, she fell asleep as soon as her eyes closed.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAVYw6bg3D5D

949Please respect copyright.PENANAf5WchH2pC1
949Please respect copyright.PENANAqwfb1VWHFA
949Please respect copyright.PENANA4uM6YMmiNL
When the storm stopped it was nighttime.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAEMG5FGQGIc
They exited the crack.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAJmjgGxvNIW
Finally. Further, up the path, it widened dipping into a small cavern opening.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAaKT9tGFhy3
The storm moaned one last time as if in lament to its end. A few feet later the opening widened. Standing and, dusting off her clothing.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAFp2RlPFdqt
"Wow, look at the size of this place." Parcival leaned over and whistled. "Deep too."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAaFOZnjT5CR
Two large wooden pegs were in front where the path ended, a rope ladder hung off the ends of them down into the lightless depths.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAjXeIyTTRzS
Hmm. Going to need a bright one, that's for sure. Instead of just waving her hands, she traced a rune on her palm with a bit of charcoal in a pouch. Blood was best for this, but this will do. She pressed both palms together and envisioned the light globe.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAqf3EIKXdKr
"Luminous!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAXF9pGvu5DA
The runes warmed on her palms before fading away, spent.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAxX1JwRKKYp
"If we go this path we should be out of these caves by nightfall," Parcival said.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAuTSyOxDGmU

949Please respect copyright.PENANAl9pr2EnuUx
949Please respect copyright.PENANAeRu0BOUQ5u
949Please respect copyright.PENANA4NYanePLrO
They made their way through a passageway on the right that winded down further.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA0c0SUE45PE
A low and deep growling sound about mid-bridge. Her ears stood straight up.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAUStMyThkC3
Not good. Everything was still stiff and hurt, so casting the speed spell would probably break the bones again.
949Please respect copyright.PENANACvyRdCTre7
The beast smiled. Saliva dripped from its canines.
949Please respect copyright.PENANATUdJjXkVqv
Really sharp fangs. Mouth dry she rolled her tongue around. It took up most of the cavern, it's tail curled to its paws.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAqMD1FtjOJ6
"Backup. Back up now. No! Don't freeze up. Move!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAXC22Lc9OOA
The beast sighed. It stretched its limb over to Han. With surprising agility, it hooked, its claw under Han's belt dangling him over the bridge.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA0PgHjFVAcc
"I wonder what you taste like. Sweet or salty?" It paused to lick the drool that dripped off its lip. It sniffed Han.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAt0XbsA6k2u
Think, damn it.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAM0rgIPnLZp
Han kicked at its nose, missed and spun around, but his shirt twisting.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAa8pZlYLO7O
"I taste awful very rotten. Like Jupern Berries."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAm5v9tIkHi6
Ah!
949Please respect copyright.PENANAYBxgZyWgu7
The beast licked Han's side.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAAd5eUYkuKt
"You don't taste like them." Tilting its head and opening its jaws wide, it dangled Han over its gaping maw.
949Please respect copyright.PENANALc5PMNQGGS
Merryn gripped the bridge's sides and went closer.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAbg31ZEdJKs
"Surely, you don't want such a puny, hairy, man thing as that in your mouth, do you?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAYyEwJwqIMG
Standing tall she struck a flippant pose.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvt1rysj9cl
"Don't eat me!" Han said. He shook violently.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAqaJHK6FbCG
The beast narrowed its eyes at her, "You are in no position to decide, snippet!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAhCacZ1mpXS
"A suggestion, nothing more." She shrugged. Masking the pain from her face, as the back complained.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAQhMemaaSWv
It brought Hans feet inside his mouth. Han covered his eyes and shuddered, his tail proofed out, quivering.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAAk0TtRNhMe
"By no means, would I dare to tell one as great as you what to do with a meal. It's just that-oh, never mind."
949Please respect copyright.PENANANvRuzQpHXh
Her fingers icy cold she forced them to unfurl before turning aside. Hoping its curiosity was as great as its pride.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA6IfXC4O6nm
Parcival's eyebrows raised high at this, then he nodded at the beast.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAGLplB8b3R4
"I've heard his kind gives such terrible heartburn, not that you'd have to worry about that."
949Please respect copyright.PENANA5DYgTQhrCX
The Behemoth closed its mouth while scratching behind a furry ear. It sat there with a stony glare.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAZw0n3MiwNz
"You remind me of another annoying forest elf. In fact, you look exactly like her." It swished its tail.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAkwiVh7rgya
"A meal will help, I never think well on an empty stomach."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAo2xtRJKY0s
It brought Han nearer to its face, then bounced him on its talon. "Heartburn doesn't bother me."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAYWm6WIE4HR
"You are mistaken, oh great one. For this is our first meeting."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvSPP6XOcB6
She shrugged. "You deserve far better than a stringy cat-man." You overgrown rat.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA7mCm9PMun7
Its eyes were slits as thin as a razor's edge.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAiyg9ue1C10
"My hunger dulls my mind, unlike your flattery, that is clear. You sound and act much like her. Do not insult my intelligence."
949Please respect copyright.PENANA9ObCznFWRk
Think, hurry up. She held her hands out, palms faced up. She smiled and tried to look honest.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAXceUNu3QSR
"It is no flattery! You are truly grand, I've never seen the like. Now you insult mine honor."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvcWbxKzOIw
The cavern filled with a deep guttering rumbles.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAN9S0gGTtcA
Oh, it's laughing!
949Please respect copyright.PENANApu5hn3bh0M
The creatures grinned, showing it's umpteen double rows of pointed teeth.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAXdFI4IsuPu
"You know, he does look as if he'd be stringy."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAECZZOjCpUj
She tilted forward.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAQpJX2bQtQU
"Well, if you'd like I could find you something more appetizing." While smiling sweetly at it.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAuyBd2KGcZu
Sweat trickled down the back of her neck.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAioFZBxarnf
Its eyes gleamed. Without a word, it placed Han down on the ledge. In an instant, it hooked her under the band of her leather armor and now she dangled over the bridge.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvdzntxFFov
"You're so very right. Why eat that, when another that's so plump and meaty is so close?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAL93S8KTd7h
It poked a claw at her breast and her legs. The stench of its breath was vile.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAf9Tpm35DFK
She tried to slow her breaths and stay calm. "Y-o-ou misunderstood me. What of the fleshy Graluv's that graze outside, in the valley below?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAqqFoGnlb3o
It huffed at her wetting her cheeks with snot, "Hoo-Hoo! What? And let three easy meals go?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAGfsfrkG1lj
It poked at the wall next to it with a claw easily. It swung her over to the hole, and with its other paw jammed the tip of her shoulder armor into the hole, locking her in place. The creature reached for Parcival and turned its head.
949Please respect copyright.PENANACNDUXEguWy
Marryn twisted, kicked and pushed on the stone. Arrg!
949Please respect copyright.PENANAtSnaagTmPh
Han stood up, his knees together. He pulled out his saber from his belt loop running up to the beast, jumped and slashed out with his saber. A direct hit cut its nose wide open. Blood squirted out and ran down.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAyL9XN9zYfQ
Nice.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAFFBVUF3j06
"Get him, Han!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAJNrrlgGiGr
Han winked and made an exaggerated bowing motion complete with hand roll.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAoVWL8MraVS
So cheeky! She smiled working at the stone around her shoulder. She dug a dagger into a crack. The stone wouldn't budge. Sawing on the leather while watching the beast.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAdRUwoNPW6P
The blow not powerful enough to do any real damage, but it had to hurt.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAXsizSRt9C7
The creature turned to roar in Han's face.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA0yVIGiDuJu
Her ears rang.
949Please respect copyright.PENANALqWcdNzYlz
Han cupped his ears.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAGeJLcyGKTL
The beast's eyes smoldered. It smashed the top of the exit to the right with its paw.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvgGTmPTLOT
The cave wall broke into chunks and blocked the exit. It flipped its tail, sending Han over the side into the depths.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAO3kLDRZzRk
"Han!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANATA75kDsOSG
She pulled, on the stuck armor. Break already! The Behemoth laid its paw on top of her and snorted.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAiGCY7hqiBD
She froze.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAeoInIDjfBX
"Ah, so you do care for the ocelot one."
949Please respect copyright.PENANATrf3AXN6mr
She sniffed indulgently. "Ha! Of course not. Would a dog care for a flea?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAUFvGHMipWz
"Hey, I resent that," Han said.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAsuiOWZdMY4
Parcival began to pad to the other end of the bridge.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAWR1u7lolhw
Infernum's short whiskers twitched. He snaked around shoving his face into Parcival's. His breath fogged up Parcival's thick circlet.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAT2G60THCqs
"Not so quiet as you imagined you were human."
949Please respect copyright.PENANA6JbFSzBoBZ
He grabbed at him with its gigantic free paw. It tossed him against the wall where he smashed into it. He slid down against it, stunned.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA2CkkWxJPZS
She hacked at the armor, it split and cracked, one last tug.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAmgigZsrgok
"Your honor is but a sham!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAn9cmfeZxky
Infernum turned to scrutinize her, "What do you know of honor? I the mighty Infernum am honorable! It is you who has none entering my home without permission!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAjBex4uQ25N
She tugged, dropping down.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvYenWOtIKO
Infernum wrapped its tail around Parcival's torso, hanging him upside down. Parcival's sword slipped free of its scabbard and ricocheted off the edge the ledge.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAcw1H8DAnFe
Parcival gripped Infernum's tail tightly. "Merrlyn!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAHnwueKRz8h
The Ancient-heart inched up again. Calm down. Calm down.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAmIiHm6BaZ2
"Let him down. Or you will rue this day." Her voice lowered an octave, she punctuated each word slowly.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAypICAPZGI2
Ah, this is what the dark ones did. Interesting. How about a little push vessel?
949Please respect copyright.PENANAODglPnnkVA
No.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAw9pJelBUG5
Force of will alone won't hold it back forever. That day will come soon.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAcR7LXT9LXd
Stop distracting me.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAM7NhEfGjmX
Take care of it then.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAJ12vnZtDnO
She pulled her daggers out of their sheaths.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAq05lx5zC4E
"I don't bargain. Tell me now, or watch him die like the other," Infernum said.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAgcUv2no6La
"I'm done being nice. Pucker formallys and pucker the blow to you!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANA4mESbQLHDL
She raced over to him, bounding over, jumped on his hindquarters, and landed on his back. Then yanked his furry ear.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAVjR7gmbP3w
Her dagger split its ear in half. Black blood oozed from the wound.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8ED3GOS4M8
Infernum roared.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAppxUlUT7S3
"You little Brat!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANA4xrX8DelEB
She scrabbled forward leaning over the top of its head pointing a dagger between his eyes.
949Please respect copyright.PENANApg3obhhtw2
"Then how 'bout this, let us see how far I can plunge this into your brain. Does that suit you better?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANARo5qGtYGQT
Infernum's eyes crossed. "I'll give you twenty-four hours to leave my cavern."
949Please respect copyright.PENANARLFRAADdCm
"Perhaps now is not the time to argue with him," Parcival said.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAA4CWVuM7lh
He arched his arms behind him, in an attempt to keep the cape from wrapping around his face.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAfKLDEMmrMx
"I'll make you a deal. Interested?" I beg you Olenus, help us.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA6hhbf5lafa
"A deal with my lunch? Now you insult me!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8VhBf0cPwe
He swung Parcival like a pendulum.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA6CkUPvY18C
She turned her head. "Well then, Infernum we have nothing to discuss, finish it."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAu6rDMFufO7
"Ah, the little priestess remembers. This pleases me, that you choose the truth."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvYAWdVkDIz
Infernum set Parcival down on the ledge next to her. It rolled its eyes and snorted.
949Please respect copyright.PENANALNqbfX0gbt
"What could you possibly have to interest me?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAUHTaJjuE8t
A quick glance at Parcival, still there, good.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAswZ1AfCJCX
"I was thinking that very thing. I was thinking how vulnerable you must feel when sleeping."
949Please respect copyright.PENANA5K4tZ7txwM
"Is that a threat?" He growled, blowing hot breath from his muzzle.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAA6LBwioLjD
"Oh, no, it's just well-them."
949Please respect copyright.PENANANGsKu7Sv35
"Them? Who is them?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANA1g8dJuITQo
He pinched her shoulder with the points of two claws. She winced.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAskusiJ0iUO
"Didn't you hear? You must have by now!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAxyzeMbqDvF
"little elf tell me or ..." He let Parcival slip before tightening the tail.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAt6PTZcynvZ
"Let him go, and I'll tell you."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAl627DXi7qv
"Let him go?" He dangled Parcival further over the abyss.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAEmWnc3zJUQ
"Them. The rumors in the towns lately, someone or something has been killing off the big five. So far three are dead. The last dragon, chimera, and unicorn."
949Please respect copyright.PENANA5LawKgxrSl
Before he replied she leapt off, landing by Parcival, slashed
949Please respect copyright.PENANAcOyuSeojh2
"It's about time. Have any idea how much that hurt?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAEppFOPRvOz
She elbowed him in the ribs. "Shut up, and jump!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8jqNUrngDl
"I'm not jumping down there!" he looked at her with wide eyes.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAf8Pe543vFP
I thought he had caught on? She pulled on his arm, sending him over the edge. Then dove after him.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA3TloWOBKQG
"Little Elvin! Finish what were to say, or burn!
949Please respect copyright.PENANANQ2TSZVu9X
Marryln fell for what felt like an eternity, then splashed into a deep lake in the cavern. She swam up breaking the surface, then gasped drawing in a burning breath.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAHAltHPG3hb
Han is there at the edge of the water sitting on his haunches shivering.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAVHPdxwNvwu
Immediately, Parcival whizzed down, smashing his chest on a small ledge. He bounced off it, splashed into the lake and sank. Dregs of the chamber pot! Is he dead? Don't be dead ...
949Please respect copyright.PENANAmcBioWD6AK
She dived after him. She wrapped her arms around his chest and fought against his weight, while her lungs screamed for air. She pulled him, dragging him to the edge of the lake.
949Please respect copyright.PENANACijjNHlN80
Han jumped out of the lake and helped.
949Please respect copyright.PENANASo87bLRhYv
"Have to get his chest armor off, and check him for any injuries."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAuedKSbUPwP
Han pointed to the large dent on the side of the armor.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA9Uhyerpaf1
She pushed him upright and undid the buckles on the left side. He flopped out onto his back, groaning.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA8N5H5fIK7T
"Sit him up again."
949Please respect copyright.PENANADWRNWmQdua
With him upright again, he worked the vest padding off and rolled up his shirt.
949Please respect copyright.PENANANJgVDZrxFd
His right side was red, swollen and already turning a blueish green. Han ran his furry hands up and down his sided, making softly mewing. The tip of his tail twitched.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAbBE0OiqrMp
"Feels like he has about three ribs broken. Come on lets us move him over here. I'll start healing him." He pointed to a dry area ahead.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAF84exASAJ9
"This is going to take a while, stand guard."
949Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vjp1aMdVq
"All right."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvzC65fuQTr
He chanted a spell, then spread his hands, placing them on Parcival's side.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAQGbqufejsc
A few hours after, she paced the cavern from the edge of the lake to the northern wall.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAIsLp9Bfntf
Later that morning Han stopped and rolled down Parcival's shirt.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yfnv8sghc
Parcival moaned.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAvO8qj184J0
"Don't move!" Han pushed on his chest. "You're still healing, rest."
949Please respect copyright.PENANALo2tcf6F9P
He grunted. "Oy! That beast, completely distasteful. How long have I been out?"
949Please respect copyright.PENANAfKkHyNiq59
"About twenty-eight hours," she said. Distasteful? A corner of her lip quirked. A novel way to take it.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAZugKVR6e94
They locked looks. He seemed colder, more distant. Must be angry, I let him fall.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAGKdsDLSzzr
The cavern above rumbled and a handful of rocks came tumbling down. A blast of air wormed its way down the cavern tunnel Growing louder each second. She covered her ears.
949Please respect copyright.PENANALEPl3P0rjM
Parcival pushed himself upright and clenched his jaw. "Let's go."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAS3f5ZNEAVp
"You're going to hurt yourself, lay down!" Han said.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAf6P8b5eRNx
His tail swished back and forth. As another roar torpedoed down throughout the cave and his ears flattened.
949Please respect copyright.PENANATrpBoyktNo
"You can't heal what's dead. I'll look for a way out you stay with him."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAKGWrnVJbMd
Merryn searched around the area by the lake, there were no passageways to be seen, only a dead end.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAIprriDRz30
Walking back over to the lake she knelt down, and peered deep into the water, spying what looked like another cavern entrance.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAM2aTOUaOJ1
"Over here!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANABD5ZZp9Mxd
"I'll follow you later, give me a few minutes."
949Please respect copyright.PENANArEuHrKMInx
"I thought you were tougher than that."
949Please respect copyright.PENANAMkeQ9B50Fp
She ran over to him pulling his left arm over her shoulder and helped him up.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAjRRHcluLho
"Come on, move!"
949Please respect copyright.PENANA2eeqYlzJnH
Han ran back over to the cavern wall ahead, where his pack is on the ground.
949Please respect copyright.PENANApnppeWM8JV
"Han, leave it," she said.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAlygcxFzjTn
"I need it! Go, I'll be right behind you."
949Please respect copyright.PENANA2SWyNmmS46
They worked their way down to the underwater cavern entrance, that is off to the right.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA4hyX3ChwCl
Several seconds later, there's a dull thump from above, the whole cavern rumbled and they dodged several stalactites that came crashing down.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAOHSdzbZL6c
She swam between the falling ones and prayed to the wind spirits to grant her haste. She lost a little air, and bubbles came out of her mouth.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAUgR5Nfpzep
Parcival nodded. He took some weight off of her by leaning to the right.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA7NyAUz1ylo
So tired. She slowed but kept going.
949Please respect copyright.PENANANAHoQWcavo
She gripped his hand that hung down on her shoulder and went deeper forward dodging the falling chunks.
949Please respect copyright.PENANABAVfUdatn1
Behind her, she spotted Han struggling to swim far back behind her.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAAVYIUHCxv8
Infernum a sleek linear forum twisted in the water.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAqLjLh7RveQ
It whipped its tail out in front, just missing taking Hans head off.
949Please respect copyright.PENANA2duPtiwBzO
Han's eyes bulged and a few bubbles escaped his mouth. He swam frantically.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAyV4uxq3gSn
The falling stalactites and chunks of cavern ceiling that came crashing down.
949Please respect copyright.PENANASVA7W7CrR4
Infernum hidden behind the screen of murky water whipped his tail at Han.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAHqXRaUI7xb
The cavern ahead became another long tunnel. An opening, the blue sky reflected on the surface.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAsHascWoSV8
She pointed ahead. Parcival nodded. Gripping him tight she pushed him and tossed his cute butt out of the water. Ah, feel strong again. He must have stopped taking the energy.
949Please respect copyright.PENANAK2hqqbixr3
