Merryn opened the door a little. Maxwell again. Somehow, he always managed to show up. How did he keep finding them? There were no mages in his party, at least none that looked like one.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAlHPRfZO9Oy
Footsteps from behind.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAiiAsfqxuA5
"They will kill you; why don't you com-" Parcival placed his hands on hers.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAh01kiUCkxh
"Then what? They'll burn this town to ashes looking for me."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAUvIzuH4q1d
She took her hands out of his. Did he really care, or was there another reason? She wrapped her pouch's ties around her fingers tightly.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA8EVbhlFvBN
She rubbed her arm. How am I to follow Olenus' teachings if-? There wasn't any other choice.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAmDztwDRsYi
Parcival's palms smacked the tabletop.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAJyvsJmty1a
"Takes only one hit from those spears of theirs, and you will be afflicted with the poison, paralyzed, waiting for a slow death when your heart explodes hours later."
799Please respect copyright.PENANABdmd2NoN3O
She flinched.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAXhbkzhCDcp
"He won't be able to touch me, much less injure me. You forget who you're dealing with, human," she huffed. She glared at him. Insulting is what it was. Losing to a human?
799Please respect copyright.PENANAlPCDTgA28O
"Do you know nothing of the Elven?"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAoeCf0ddSNG
The hairs on her arms bristled, and she fought down a darkness, a darkness all her own. Can't let it win. It's bad enough the god had piggybacked, but to have to deal with what the dark spirits had placed?
799Please respect copyright.PENANAgIAve6EUmG
"I admit my studies are lacking when it comes to your people, but only because they refuse to share much of their history and culture."
799Please respect copyright.PENANANDa6kQryZD
A pained expression crossed his face; it was at odds with his words.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA5U2VcLYDgG
"If you like, I could tell you a little, sometime?"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAUsHW1Zd8Q2
It was strange caring about this; everything inside was a warped mess. Have been hanging around with the man too long. Is this the weakness mother tried to explain? She scowled.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAnctZiR24pV
"Would you? I mean, it would be most interesting to learn about your history; so little is known."
799Please respect copyright.PENANA9sQkjdbDe8
His face took on that look only young kids had and in his eyes, a spark kindled for just a minute. A smile played on her lips. His mood was Infectious. Hea.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAZw5sVBKWRu
If you get too soft people will die. Remember, he's out there.
799Please respect copyright.PENANABwRg4lhxkI
It was something she wanted to bring back often. Everything they'd told her about humans just didn't fit, to how he this one acted. She bit the inside of her cheek. It brought back some measure of control.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8GFcGmaC3
Get a hold of yourself now.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAsVGy45D4dV
Reality sucked rotten hog hanks as Maxwell's voice lanced from outside. There were no joys not for me.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAsedHbkCtIw
"I want no mistakes, this time, understand? Capture them both and burn the town to the ground!"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAMIoHiA4UZe
It was hard to see through the tiny carved window.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA6H1igwdezm
The Nekhawk circled the church above, swooping down. It landed on Maxwell's shoulder. Its tentacles curled upwards as it preened a wing. Not that thing again.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAxL73bvFLfr
Maxwell faced his men. They all nodded. They spread out, each standing by a house with an unlit torch in hand.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAlTeNyWMLgW
"Let me go out there. A woman should not do this. This is absurd!"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAfdmqJ8oVby
He held both her arms with both of his hands.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAHJNqZSTdHm
"You're not going out there."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAggRqnoWdcH
"Let go, now." They never said not to knock them unconscious.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAwroGfzlZef
"You shouldn't have to do this ..." He breathed in several short, shallow breaths.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAvigcmmvBPX
She suppressed a smile. He really didn't know? The naivety was refreshing.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAZrBexFdzCZ
The vines on her back warmed then turned hot. They worked in deeper. She backed up slowly to the wall. Dizzy again. Sounds took longer to understand.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAHZrAi1SL10
The vines under the skin of her neck moved up; they tapped repeatedly at the back of her skull. She clawed at the vines and shrieked.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAbchAYzYbKE
Resisting makes it harder. Like it or not, this is happening. The side effects are unfortunate.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAvWrU1yC2HZ
Everything had a haze to it as if a bad dream she couldn't quite shake off.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZLATvxTpJ
"You need to recover more. Go lay down. I'll take care of this." He held out his hand.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAJxEGnQ0I4R
She moved to him. A pinched expression strained his face.
799Please respect copyright.PENANARBtLQETjYY
Before she could ask him who he was, a voice in her mind interrupted her.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y2sxtnqot
Pretend you know him. Say nothing.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAoRcaZyPRg4
This voice. She held her head in her hands. A vague memory surfaced. An image of an energy field. A yellow stone? Ah, a crystal, it turned dark then went away. The ache that came with it didn't.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAsdMQ03Fzk6
She rubbed her forehead and breathed a ragged breath. "You may be right."
799Please respect copyright.PENANA3uI9jpAZz7
"Your face is flushed." He came over and reached out.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAzSN9PVPMwA
She bent away. Now wasn't the time for this. Need a clear head.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAoeVSJfWxlW
"You don't have to go out there."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAgaBS0o7Wx2
Out? should I?
799Please respect copyright.PENANALnznxcWlBp
You decided in the name of peace to dispose of Maxwell.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAZC5tCjt8kN
Destroy? Peace, what was this? Let me wake up! The warmth cooled, and her scalp prickled. She shook her head as a rush pricked over her scalp. A thought in the back if her mind, it fluttered out of grasp. Listen to the man or a creepy voice. Both options sucked.
799Please respect copyright.PENANATxO08caIea
"Let me help." The man stood in front, his eyebrows raised.
799Please respect copyright.PENANANsV5RyQMes
This one sucked less. Did he have the other? 799Please respect copyright.PENANAqZLDYSKKXT
Yes, let him take care of Maxwell. It's time to go home. Do you remember?799Please respect copyright.PENANAmB9j9iDEBU
But you just said not to. Who are you?
799Please respect copyright.PENANAHKHsC1IXDT
I changed my mind. Do as I say.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA79XmxB6FPg
Another rush. A broken image of a dry wasteland, its sky dark, broken by lighting. This was home?
799Please respect copyright.PENANAkYsB8Ny8hc
Yes. You must get there.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAnIW2gGJtvN
Who are you?
799Please respect copyright.PENANA9ul2I3aZoE
A friend. His thoughts were syrupy and thick in nature.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAOAPaG59SPD
Rings of smoke tickled her nose. A cat man sat reserved puffing his pipe. His ears turned back.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAMTUfxKCE84
In the Undergod's name! She backed up as he grew closer. Would it eat her?
799Please respect copyright.PENANAARJZUrTywu
"You're looking ill."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAZm8teY3fRE
The strange blue-eyed man was suddenly close to her face! She scrambled; her back pressed to a wall. He looked at her, then at Han. His brows rose and then crinkled.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAAVHQdjsGDi
"Remember when you found her in the rafters?"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAbwe7c1RN2o
The cat-man breathed in a deep, fearsome breath; his teeth poked out.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAMmRbCHVjTW
"The infection seems to have an adverse effect on her. It would be wise to get her to stay in here."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAt34ZEQ5Ad5
He pushed the chair next to the table, picked up a necklace with beads on it, and put it around his neck.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAP6BEugENmH
She edged towards the door as they talked. Where's Dad? Where the hell is this? Have to get back home; a pulling from within towards the sea and beyond called.
799Please respect copyright.PENANATH83bCVrzQ
"Don't go out there!" the cat-man said.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAZN9whbWsRG
No, let them take care of it.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAXeSRFAzNYf
You're crazy; make up your mind! Could the others hear this voice? No, of course not, they'd say something.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAkSL5arY5dI
Nobody tells me to shut up. You ... it trailed off, quiet.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA58tUHMCHg2
"Where is the disgusting Elven? Send her out now, or I'll burn this town!"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAUDNnnjPk3q
Hoofbeats resound outside.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAP4QtOCd2Ag
Through the window slit many men passed.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAEnAzNzgwxa
She edged closer to the door, gripped the steel door handle, and took in a deep breath.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAAR1cAoHsJj
Several doors slammed outside as the panicked people ran into their homes.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAJmaxYBC4B3
"You have no right to threaten our town, you filthy bugbear!" the old woman yelled and shook her hands at Maxwell.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAKgrCTHcxgA
"Hold your tongue, woman, or I'll cut it off."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAHmE4eeISlR
The blue-eyed man came out of the church then stood in front of the old woman.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAKPN50iG5EQ
"You will not."
799Please respect copyright.PENANARLaUYx7Umo
Grabbing the handle, she yanked it open and went down the steps.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA6t1QkwA6NR
"Leave her alone," Marryn said in a tight, baneful voice.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA36gntvErYc
Defying me? For what, a wrinkled raisin of a woman?
799Please respect copyright.PENANAxxr7XuM2Xp
Do you ever stop talking, spirit?
799Please respect copyright.PENANA2mCSchWnpb
The old woman ran into her house and slammed the door. The already empty streets grew even quieter, if that was even possible.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA6IvwmBZDlO
The blue-eyed man came over.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAWUnXpKR22J
"No, get out of here."
799Please respect copyright.PENANANX86bTL2xk
She pointed at the road. "Go."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAsSama4A7qD
"I will not. You know exactly why."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAIN1fKi7zHH
He straightened then pushed her behind, sword drawn.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAcuJTnkRVAY
"Go back inside. I don't need your help." Fourteen harpy hells, this man was vexing.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAzsTpunwOph
Maxwell. I know him. As for the others the names were fuzzy. Negative energy came off him, comparative to a squall ready to blow through anything in his path. Clenched teeth and face taunt, he pulled the spear off his back ,dashing with it.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAkpk1ckF4Go
She shoved the blue-eyed man out of the way.
799Please respect copyright.PENANASsoN6qSJF5
With little time to think, much less react, she swerved out of the way. She stumbled and caught her balance.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAfwLPXGTfmU
The armored man wrapped a hand around the hilt of his sword.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAvUrkiELxHG
The cat man grabbed his hand and shook his head. He motioned the other man to move back over to the church.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA0w2btWTQR4
The headache faded; all came to focus. One minute it seemed she was in the church talking with Parcival, and then in another, facing Maxwell. What was going on here? The vines relaxed, and her clarity returned.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAGyZ7weNXjW
She turned her head pleading with her eyes, don't.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAVq2VtZ8VhU
Parcival's arm fell to his side, and his fists clenched. "This is all wrong." He went down the church steps, hesitated, and followed Han.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAjqtMlNQpRQ
He spun around then lunged forward a few steps. His brows had knit together with his lips drawn. He gripped the sword's scabbard so tightly the leather grip squeaked. So protective, why?
799Please respect copyright.PENANAs2mbr7r8Gk
Han shook his head. "Let it be. He's a king's guard."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAdLwp98Uxft
"The law? You mean his law." Parcival spat onto the ground.
799Please respect copyright.PENANASRgRt44445
"Are you trying to get us all killed?" Han yanked on his arm.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAUYeN2NwVpz
Maxwell turned towards them. "I'll deal with you later."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAcPQvvdsaRS
Then focused on her, she let go of a breath she was holding. He ran towards her and lunged. The blade of the spear clanged against her blades.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAYfYjEru3wD
She avoided the same fate to her neck, by craning away a fraction faster. Have to get out of here. Am way over matched. What to do? There's so little time. The way back to the road was open. Could just vanish now; that last loss of spiritual energy was the worst to happen this week.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAHHYD3JGbZA
She backed up into what she assumed was a lamp post. I want to go home, back to the temple.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA9bSQ4Ysi2g
As do I. Shut off the inner waterfall already. It's fight or die.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAeBsPvw4PGb
I really, really, really hate you.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAAvdrgZA8lQ
Never should have opened my prison then.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAhZd2fZDrzD
She pushed up against the lamp post, standing tall. It helped shore up some courage or at least bravo.
799Please respect copyright.PENANABe1zyjY20F
She hissed at Maxwell and lunged at him. Gah, just go away.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAraA0kMHIsY
"Your corpse on a funeral pyre would look pretty, and such a fitting entrance to the Underworld."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAu6pEf6MOAa
She shrunk back and tried to edge away. The answer left a keen pang in her stomach.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAhBbFZhlyRv
He spun the spear in the air and aimed at her head again. Great, just great! Her pulse quickened, and her breathing faster. That was way too close.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAN0IFuDgWSk
Maxwell held it with both hands, now, as he attempted to land a massive blow to her skull.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAKUMLEiHafh
She gripped the post with both hands, twisted in mid-air and swung around, and let go. Both blades crossed in front of her.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAe1Sc8pxk6w
"I don't want to fight. Leave me alone, now!"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAi9euva66mE
"You say one thing and act in another. All is irrelevant. You'll pay for what you did. If you want to make it easy for me then, go ahead."
799Please respect copyright.PENANA4vxf2qoQjP
He jumped back, his arms out for balance, and then lunged forward with the spear. She ran around a large flower pot, jumping onto the eaves of a house. His spear hit behind her; several roof pottery tiles shattered.
799Please respect copyright.PENANADb6VaDFan2
As he came closer, she kicked at him. It didn't phase him. He closed the distance and twirled the spear above his head. It whirred in the air. She cried out and backed away into a wall.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAlclvrkTx1k
All I want is to help. Let me take over for a while.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAqbbs5BOZeP
Don't want your kind of help.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAkjEv8daqv5
She ran at Maxwell with her blades crisscrossed and aimed for his neck. I won't lose to a human.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAr33E2ggSJX
He is mine, as are you. Let me stop him. Give me control.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZypjZSnRS
Go away.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAA8TsFCMSdd
She clenched and unclenched a dagger handle, while tracking Maxwell's movements. There had to be some way to stop him.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ijv7b8ETF
"So close, yet once again, you missed the mark!"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAgweSmXVeEe
He backed and parried. His muscles bulged as he pushed down on the blades.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAjjuD9sadWF
She fought against letting loose the hungry ancient heart contained within, threatening to boil over and consume the last gossamer thread left of control.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAq0C4JSjrn4
Listen to the call, the blood of your enemy dripping from your blade. The sound of shattered of bones, the pure glory of the kill. Your people were once great warriors, now infected with compassion and peace. Don't deny your true self.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAgrM1l6eMAL
No wonder they locked you away. She squeezed her fist as the blood call gnawed under the surface. Shut up!
799Please respect copyright.PENANAES221PiEK4
His spear clashed amid the blades. He pushed down, sending a spray of sparks erupting into the air.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAwhIAhK7vD5
The day grew hotter and pushed down on her, almost as much as Maxwell.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA02Ey4xI7GL
He looked down at her. "Why do you fight me? Accept your death with grace! I was not the one who slaughtered thousands of people that day! Or, are you just uncaring?"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAsZzMwCDv82
"That isn't-"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAxpX8roqRp8
His words heavier than any spear.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAPcr06PKAvd
Let me out, now or die.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAEwWS6B7pHT
Be quiet!
799Please respect copyright.PENANAiTCpnUEJq4
Maxwell pushed her down to her knees.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAgNXkz2LX70
How can he grin right now? Her arms burned with the effort of moving the spear tip away from her neck.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAx7XxNOhPbp
The armored man dashed forward, then pointed his sword at Maxwell's head.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA4uHnBHOWCh
Maxwell looked at him, his eyes but slits. A darkness formed over Parcival. He dropped his sword onto the grass. He slumped down on the ground and collapsed.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAInNDEdRnKM
"Get back." Sweat dripped down her forehead and off her nose.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAdaloJDRlVe
Parcival's face peaked, and his lips whitened. He clamped his mouth shut. His eyes glazed, and he drew in a breath through his teeth. His legs twitched violently, and his eyes rolled back into his head, showing the white undersides.
799Please respect copyright.PENANASzGQpHGobb
"He's innocent; let him go," she said.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA33bvUrrcXd
Maxwell grounded his teeth, snarling. "Go home, fledgling."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAINI28TfSZa
Han grabbed Parcival by the arm and dragged him away.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA4pBE0UDTsG
He focused on her, once again; he struck the spear down hard near her heart. It took all her concentration to hold the god at bay.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAN0EME1n7Xc
With each breath, she drew in the spear, inching ever closer to her heart. She let go, freeing one hand, while keeping the spear away from her neck with the other. Her other hand slipped out a throwing dagger she hid under her back armor. She slashed at his hands and cut a deep gash on the top of it.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAGe9vSXtVHH
Blood ran down his arm in a stream; the smell of it filled the air with a sharp metallic smell.
799Please respect copyright.PENANACVAoH28i3F
She ran at him, again and tried to stab his bare chest.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAfrodAY7coH
He pushed away from the dagger with the sword hilt. "What are you smiling about? Stop it, I say!" he said.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA6yfddeXSRR
An instant later, he stepped back. Smiling? Since when is a grimace a smile? Idiot.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAPUpMMzedtB
Maxwell's head jerked back, and he sucked in a breath. Before she could move away, he backed up, then twirled around and landed a lucky strike that clobbered her shoulder.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAG1DDYBpryb
She tried to get way as he hammered down on her with the blunt end of the spear. It was all she could do to protect her head with her arms.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAuQJx74doU0
"Stop this!" A shuffling of feet.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAFVmjpbVtIC
"You want more pain, Paladin?"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAK4a5v57zli
Moving was was painfull, she staggered and fell.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAGBYaxO72qc
Han closed his eyes and turned around.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAldStJqII7g
"I hate her more, than I fear you," Maxwell said. "I don't fear you much, cub."
799Please respect copyright.PENANA1p9fl1SQc2
Parcival ran at him.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAuTnECATdIw
Han slammed into his knees, knocking him down.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAm2uZSwHnOO
"He will kill you; ignore the taunts."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAf27IK5f2PZ
Maxwell smiled at this then bent down. His eyes narrowed to a thin bright line that flashed across the edges. He whispered a spell and held his hand close to her face.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAGMCgQ9zLLM
The pain was immediate; it wracked through her body. She pushed her nails onto the top of her arm and tried not scream. Only the weak screamed.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA3SvW6xPv9V
Standing above her, his deranged smile broke into a fissure from the corners of his lips and pulled up his cheeks. He held his spear in both hands, thrusting it for the moral strike. She glared, unflinching.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ7LEEWGfZ
Parcival dashed into Maxwell and struck his leg, slashing a deep cut through the cloth robe. They went rolling onto the ground.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAWfDMKnCgvN
Maxwell stood first then punched Parcival in the nose, stunning him. Tears came out of Parcival's eyes, and he cupped his nose, moaning.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAGekYKFTwAM
Limping, Maxwell slowly backed away then jumped onto his horse as he signaled to the others to follow him.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAQTwEVC0tC4
Casting his gaze at her. "We will finish this later."
799Please respect copyright.PENANA6XaX8GTliy
Then to Parcival. "You think I'm the evil one? Ask her. Ask her what she's done."
799Please respect copyright.PENANA8W6GfbD5Mn
Dust filled the air as he and his men faded from view.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA9w3iYnmAnq
"What in heaven's name is going on with you?" Parcival asked.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAQW5Uuppxvp
Come home to me vessel. They'll never accept you.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ2RDkNbyx
Don't care.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAVQXwi20Mqy
You're lying to yourself. Come home. They can't give you the peace that I can.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA2cFt4gKX79
With that, the vines pulled back into her body.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAcroCKnGfC6
" ..... " She closed her eyes. If it thinks I'll cry it's mistaken.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAnct4Z0TBkw
Han arched an eyebrow at her. His ears perked up. "Hum."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAVt6GwMxkcA
Han stepped over to Parcival, putting his hand on his nose, then closed his eyes and whispered a prayer. His hands glowed white.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAxmXgMT6pxQ
She watched the plume of dust. What if next time-there was little point thinking about it. Do the job and get it done; little else mattered. Her chest tightened again.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAa9ZadIBdSK
She went over to him. "Thank you."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAQsrgLckXVt
He nodded. Before he could say anything, she quickly hugged him and let go.
799Please respect copyright.PENANANs59a57aVM
"I need some time alone. I'll meet up with you both later," she said.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA7zJnGj97Ju
"I'll be at the Library they have here. It's not the largest I've seen, but it should be adequate," Parcival said.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAhYz0BnsMTz
She looked over to Han.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAs6cGl4bkKS
"And you?"
799Please respect copyright.PENANAD1Of0tMwex
"After this day, I think a good stout drink is in order."
799Please respect copyright.PENANAY6tgwoVvwA
He lit his pipe, turned about towards the town's only inn.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAvHxQ0X0jJK
I better not. Her mind spun with everything that had gone on lately.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAeR6vstRwEP
She mulled around town, touching fabrics and munched an apple.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAydRiJdZeMS
Behind a broken fountain, a hiss.
799Please respect copyright.PENANA06tdTdYxxj
She inspected it. Nothing was there. Need sleep. A good long sleep fixed most things.
799Please respect copyright.PENANAT0gGMNGs3y
Her arms and legs had a mild tremor to them. She rubbed them while walking.
