Merryn flopped onto the last stair, dragging in burning breaths. Should have looked for another way. She gulped in another breath, then stood.
801Please respect copyright.PENANADG7G2AH5xz
The room was large and gray, there were four pillars at different ends.
801Please respect copyright.PENANARL4gIivkwD
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAkBk1QXDcXg
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ924H0E3A
A sensation of just before falling crept up inside. She grabbed a pillar as the floor was gone. No, it's still there.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAfmwKMrCAOU
At the left end of the room another staircase, again leading up.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAbqkMKS49nb
A low chuckle filled the room. She spin around.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAiLnvkOHNnx
"Hey!"
801Please respect copyright.PENANAC33RofX2cQ
No reply.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAVKgfMrg122
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAMiMyJG3f5z
Glowing globes floating above half bowl steel bases lined the walls, turning on one by one as she passed.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAvSQRYKC9hK
A metallic armored humanoid creature passed by, it had faintly glowing runes etched onto its armor, he crouched.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAxD7E1Fqcnq
"I am the caretaker here. Fail any challenge here and..."
801Please respect copyright.PENANA5vKLfhH3Uz
He paused; as did her breath.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA0TZzn6OSuc
He ran a finger across his neck.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA6GpbuIUnDB
She swallowed hard.
801Please respect copyright.PENANACH0ZDAsNNl
He stood with an arm stretched out and pointed down the hallway.
"Go."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAU4PB7LpWGt
She took off down it.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAR8Z8GXvNF9
The globes lit the way, several paintings of people and landscapes decorated the walls between them.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAX34K0WmerM
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAy3gNlfjvZe
A monotone music played from it, a large wind up key on its side turned slowly around.
801Please respect copyright.PENANANTrgEKjAsh
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAHeiZg1Hl0h
"Of pictures eight and light divine, fix the order or thy life be mine."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAknh5kep4tU
The hairs on her arms and neck stood and a tingling marched down her neck. Was this a cursed spirit?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAMnr9jrxHHO
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?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAOeYuBpG5nK
She turned around.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAqdGxV4PAGZ
The doll blocked her way.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAuSONZqVmMQ
"Only one way. You forfeit the game?" Its eyes glittered.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAu2Xs8KumKE
All her skin tingled. Magic of some sort, had to be. Had. To. Be.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAj9MpZGt68C
She went back.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAKmnPVtjW5s
So too the doll.
801Please respect copyright.PENANATXzkls8ZGY
It stood quietly; the shadows cast by the light darkened it's brow.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA31CQDdYD1A
Pictures of eight? Divine light?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAngliUIbieX
She rubbed her forearm and walked around careful not to turn around. It said pictures and lights. Pictures and lights. Lights and pictures. Ah?
801Please respect copyright.PENANANLUzkrSjre
On closer inspection the paintings were in an odd order between the globes.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA4Q8Mkeb7Bz
She paced the hallway inspecting each painting. How many? Count them?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAjg903r7TAB
None totaled to eight, the same with the globes.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAh8dGXKciZi
Humm... 48 pictures, and 24 globes. Eight? She rubbed her wrist, frowning.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAGcZTfDf04h
The pictures blurred from staring at them. Rubbing her forehead, she closed her eyes for a moment. Relax, can't blast through this.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAhOICZ7Xv5D
She took one down, rolling it in her hands, then putting it back on the wall.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAy1kikiPPGV
The doll stepped forward, the gears grinding and clicking.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAXXSF4a5jeX
"First mistake is made two more to pain."
801Please respect copyright.PENANA5IhhzslK4f
Oh-oh. Now what? Count them again? Length, width, the diameter? Gods, what if its the color? Another amount?
801Please respect copyright.PENANA9PDSA3noxB
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAyUlgUc75Zi
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAHlHXvNH2xz
It was probably pointless, but sifted through everything again just in case something could help.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAePJWn6vl2H
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAGTrYno0HTp
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?
801Please respect copyright.PENANA6RKaT2j87m
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANALEsZeaNDRB
Eyeing the doll, it hadn't moved.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA0gIG2RQA4X
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAWuGsb8mxOn
Eight steps. Maybe?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAnl7HnAFcqX
Repeating this the amount is consistent. This should...
801Please respect copyright.PENANAsB56ukcUuM
She places the picture eight feet next to the first globe, then stepped back her breaths shallow and heartbeat loud.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ7BM6eesY
The doll's eyes flashed.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAN1YMjN55mg
"That is... correct."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAnlroVxo9dm
Alright, then. She placed the rest also eight feet apart between the remaining globes. The doll still blocked the way. Was something missing?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAa01QYJtlJn
She breathed in.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA9keDBAanMd
"The globes." She nodded. Just do it.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA1DtHCdLyQl
A few minutes later she placed all the globes on the floor, and replaced eight between the pictures.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAzTjZPv7ZxF
"One more mistake will sign your fate."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAWHY7PXzKC6
The words echoed through the hall.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAJzSwTkaF21
Her hands shook while taking them down again. Eight, eight, eight, eight, starting to hate eight!
801Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9jC61oFVL
Arrg! Picking up a globe in each hand, she nearly shattered them against the wall. Two Of course!
801Please respect copyright.PENANA4dHGxr1snE
She took the globes placing them back, but left out every second one.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA7buYOHXbWo
"That is ... correct thou may pass."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAQMullkqkTF
It went over to the wall, fading as it did.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAPSmZJafpzL
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAXzHDuLqAtF
The animals were more aggressive, old less used magics cropping up, what next?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAXkCH0ybS48
Unnamed chuckled.
801Please respect copyright.PENANABZK7ocQt3q
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAZCrcNihEW4
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?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAmKKvXL3ujT
She froze.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAbQSLD2qI9l
A soft crinkling filled the room ahead. It stopped.
801Please respect copyright.PENANASevhAVdx67
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAMf7Z5G5lpj
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA3bnEyOOmZS
Crinkle. Cackle. Pop.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6T14Vd0Kf
"Gah!"
801Please respect copyright.PENANA8TT7BS9NfF
The carpet under foot shuffled, and rolled up and down in a wave.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAjCbuGNgNEm
She stumbled back back peddling away.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA3NInxLJa7G
The carpet bubbled, steam hissed from them as they burst.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAOkPSHbWIMp
Oh gods.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAgm1utD82Jz
The edges of the carpet turned black and crinkled cracking again randomly.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA2E1HT4IouT
Dark veins slowly threaded throughout it from the blackened edges and pulsed merging at the center forming an intertwined circle.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAPwiNQI6v5P
The carpet levataed, twirling around it self becomeing taller and thiner, and taking on a humanoid outline.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAPU5tOHdvP4
She backed further as it tightened in on itself, smoothing over the humanoid outline. Details of a shadowy robed woman emerged.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA54pZQHjDYX
Not just old magics here, but dark, ones grandmother spoke of during the yearly Moon Out.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAPsJrbHpT6P
Reality was far worse. She swallowed hard as the shadowy fourm lightend to that of a woman.
801Please respect copyright.PENANADuAvwTi485
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANABwnrS1G8Mz
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAt4h5PCdkaR
"Welcome, won't you sit down?"
801Please respect copyright.PENANA0wtwQGxFTf
She startled at how soft and musical her voice was, guess in part expecting it to be more like a harpy's screech.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAyk257cthlJ
"I'm tired of all this. Where are my friends?"
801Please respect copyright.PENANA06KJdxlUAD
The woman ignored her and pointed to a chair near the window and bookshelf.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAWiOuFLja8K
Manners would be wise with this one. The hairs on her arms kept raising and lowering, with every movement the woman made.
801Please respect copyright.PENANARdlNQfg2bf
"I don't feel like sitting. What is your name if I might ask?"
801Please respect copyright.PENANALkPTA7y42F
The woman turned exactly to where Merryln stood.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAGsQf9fI2XS
"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."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAcYrzRoaIgP
She walked over to a candle on a table, ran her fingers over it and the wick lit immediately.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAICpf5t89LJ
Merryn choked back a gasp. Apparently not enough as the woman smiled some.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAFJzAMYxs8a
"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-"
801Please respect copyright.PENANAPvWhNLM2Qh
Rouge paused, staring straight at her.
801Please respect copyright.PENANADhywAsofLf
Her red rimmed lips parted into an odd smile, like that of a dragon looking down at it's next meal.
801Please respect copyright.PENANASifh3bg5kr
Merryn's stomach became acidic and clenched, she stood as streight as possible fighting an urge to rub her arm.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAzHErxi3FBc
Rouge brandished two gleaming rows of delicately pointed teeth. While white they had a pink tint between them, as to what it was?
801Please respect copyright.PENANA0JSj1k6whA
"Then I will skin you alive." Rogue's gaze was oddly intense.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAAwQuyDxnq0
She shivered.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAA15Ux8E3nB
"Tell me then, what is it you want?"
801Please respect copyright.PENANAN2pNf6jGEq
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xv3jisr9Q
"You ever play hide and seek as a child? I'll be 'it'.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAvVs1RxVj4p
She sliced the blade back and fourt.
801Please respect copyright.PENANACjqmMC39ix
"Don't be caught too quickly now."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAFHLSFcTd6x
Rouge came over and pinched the side of her face.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAqbBTaJ3Fjk
"This will only be temporary. If you win that is."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAsrLxoKkyd0
Her hand flowed over Merryn's face, and touched her eyes.
801Please respect copyright.PENANALoIyRkQkkt
She blinked, all was hazy, then this faded to black. Her breath stuck in her throat, she hyperventilated and wheezed.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAUgNC1QqYC8
"What did you do!" She shreaked.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAv6KFZYiXOI
She backed away hands held out, tryingto find something, anything! She smacked into the chair, tripped and fell to her knees.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAwWJBj7qUT9
Rouges voice appeared before her.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAB5kU24yfQk
"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."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAT8icAesd2S
Shuffling now.
801Please respect copyright.PENANACSzGFPEKPN
"Their are five ball bearings in this hourglass. When the last one falls, I will seek."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAAlnEwftcQl
Rouge's breath hot on her neck, her nails trailed down stinging.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAAM2vW5VbkQ
"The count starts, now."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAFHaPzhgFlL
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAGoqWq0mUa8
Scrambling forward, holding her hands out they slapped into a wall?
801Please respect copyright.PENANABXt1yWh3Bo
Ping.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAGu1BuB9KKX
Crap!
801Please respect copyright.PENANAVnPnv1rrNH
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!
801Please respect copyright.PENANAGN37zQ7n0H
"Aaaah!"
801Please respect copyright.PENANATqogmfjRHu
landing on to her side, she slid down several steps.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAis3bNN4VPS
Clink.
801Please respect copyright.PENANACrIEtvJHdd
How many was it? Hide. Hide! Hide now!
801Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ40fVVxDe
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANALUqrXvd9GZ
There was a faint smell of roses and sandalwood. The stairwell ended and the wall led to a door, the scent was strongest here.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAY9KPnH4Bxk
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?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAQlfXEOOSkV
Tink.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAea0OMO5TWv
Four!
801Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZFz9guTq4
Fugh! The window. Back over at it she pulled up onto the ledge. Her heart doing a bouncing act in her chest and throat.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAOj6i7PiVHB
Dink!
801Please respect copyright.PENANAMAq7trOjVF
Reaching out the ledge extended some from the window, but not much.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAvb99yXVLzB
Footsteps.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAGX2tElK1mN
Following the window all around she bumped into a small hard object on the left.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAeXc53HXoRq
It seemed big enough. Stupid hands shook making it hard to pull up onto it. She strattled it clinging tight.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAlV8onHZuqR
Footsteps were closer now.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAhfOMPJddq1
What if this is her room? Idiot!
801Please respect copyright.PENANAZazrgLl5sv
Whats that fluttering?
801Please respect copyright.PENANA5fv150XX0B
A soft pita-pat-a and scratching.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAtQw1irX9uM
"I know you're near, I can smell you. Fear wraps you and betrays you."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAWY0u1ywZnz
Rouge snarled.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAOBl2m3BbBh
Fanning her hands out led to nothing.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAX2wzjeGX5R
Clank.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAeWKFFXs8Cf
"Come out child the game is over. I tire of this."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAJGVGIyFwZd
She scrambled back inside. Rogue was there in an instant her fingers flowing over Merryn's eyes. Blinking and her sight flooded back.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAq7y4dyOAhG
Rouge sniffed.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAZiAW7W6Qon
"Before I became blind, you know how I got the stripes on this dress so bright red?"
801Please respect copyright.PENANABx6ERHkEqm
talons
801Please respect copyright.PENANAdikKIyGPcG
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAc0XjXmQd2L
Merryn backed away runing back and out almost going back down the stairwell. No! Not after all that.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAd1j07hIQot
She swung around 360° on the pads of her feet and ran down the right corridor.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAxcVCdhb41w
While near the top of the tower, Rouge's laughter echoed behind her.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA0iSx072LiT
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA6vXsqKUvkx
"Parcival, Han!"
801Please respect copyright.PENANA0lo2McHp0q
Bending over she patted Parcivall's shoulder.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA1IG63T5GHU
He moaned and frowned.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAwrg3VLvhnw
"Hey!"
801Please respect copyright.PENANAKZBKiQTJ7m
He squinted and rubbed a bump on the side if his head.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAiniIHUwU7u
"Where?"
801Please respect copyright.PENANAaTplNJ1RBD
"The Tower of Focus."
801Please respect copyright.PENANADqEHrjWchK
He arched his eyebrows and shook his head. "The gods save us."
801Please respect copyright.PENANA55OokBbxGQ
"Did you see who took you here?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAQD05rT1kXk
She patted Han's shoulder until awoke. He muttered, sitting and squinted at the light that steamed in though the window.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAnbifwE012Y
"We have to get back to the elders and warn them of a traitor."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAM3RDtJECxz
"So you-"
801Please respect copyright.PENANAIYLdtFHVhO
"No." He looked away as if thinking.
801Please respect copyright.PENANATLtpEoRUe9
"I was cold-conked from behind. Then woke up in here."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAfRoK8hcJqq
Han pipes in.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAECYHj0k0JS
"I might have seen something green boots with silver threading."
801Please respect copyright.PENANA5LSM5rAyDC
"Not much to go by but better then nothing."
801Please respect copyright.PENANADBa7s1YqwS
They got up and headed to the door.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAhT7VlKLKFN
"Wait."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAD1islA3uiz
Parcival turned.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAl0fUNEUobu
"What is it?"
801Please respect copyright.PENANATw7EOkuiAt
She went over and hugged him quick then went out.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAoZgFPpUT01
"We better hurry up they seem to have mistaken me for some one else."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAcWIqgDaoI2
Parcival walked beside her as they went back down the stairs.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA3j3fNXCe4D
He blinked repeatedly.
801Please respect copyright.PENANACTphm0tvGk
"Who's mistaken, you?"
801Please respect copyright.PENANA9JkZMPp8bG
"The elders and the guards. Some one tried to assassinate Raimo."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAS7WM6nLsZX
He startled and his face became a wall.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA4szStM8kTc
"They walk, but are dead." His voice was low and cold.
801Please respect copyright.PENANASDT4LMzhdt
He stiffned. "Did you say this was The Tower of Focus?"
801Please respect copyright.PENANAz1eibnopwX
"Yes."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAkp42xoNCLb
"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."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAiPdcWGBqBn
The glare from the sun was now half its current size.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAPs27nEamgo
"I'd say it's twilight we have a half hour of Civil twilight before it fully sets."
801Please respect copyright.PENANAtxuwh9UKtz
Civil twilight?
801Please respect copyright.PENANArKWqMx6C5W
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAAvF5pf02FE
The long shadows that sprayed across the white walls were angular and thin, they move at random angles as she followed.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAovRHiCZJFO
A monotone melody played downstairs dampened by the distance, sharpening as they descend.
801Please respect copyright.PENANA5LpSKQLIfX
A child like giggle raised the hairs on her arms.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAPMgjrPQD1l
"Do you hear that?
801Please respect copyright.PENANAJ74l7ca4qr
Han's ears rotated back and fourth.
801Please respect copyright.PENANABkFXXkQJhv
"Yes, it's coming closer what ever it is."
801Please respect copyright.PENANArvSaVn6p9Y
A small figure streaked out the corner of her eye.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAlFqLZlGJLE
"What the hell was that?"
801Please respect copyright.PENANAPH3gQXTe94
"The sun has almost set what ever it is ignore it and sprint to the exit. Now!"
801Please respect copyright.PENANAgTFP3AU1mR
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.
801Please respect copyright.PENANAoShtGaXTig
Outside the last rays of the sun sank below the skyline.
