Merryn flopped onto the last stair, dragging in burning breaths. Should have looked for another way. She gulped in another breath, then stood.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAeoGp0lfjuN
The room was large and gray, there were four pillars at different ends.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAe3ns3FIQjo
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANASRSm9uvmzk
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAfjmRlFyxx7
A sensation of just before falling crept up inside. She grabbed a pillar as the floor was gone. No, it's still there.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAQbECDKKzGf
At the left end of the room another staircase, again leading up.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAONFaZGauZd
A low chuckle filled the room. She spin around.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAcVHmSdV41L
"Hey!"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAOpLoyaRIl9
No reply.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAAKkfkcIlsB
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAtL2p4BCJot
Glowing globes floating above half bowl steel bases lined the walls, turning on one by one as she passed.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAFnJFpbv189
A metallic armored humanoid creature passed by, it had faintly glowing runes etched onto its armor, he crouched.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAxQR2qevzQ7
"I am the caretaker here. Fail any challenge here and..."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAIns344RdKo
He paused; as did her breath.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA2EhTaHvNxZ
He ran a finger across his neck.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAUubthcaqNl
She swallowed hard.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANArxWXbpP4qN
He stood with an arm stretched out and pointed down the hallway.
"Go."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAlZFYecrU3w
She took off down it.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAuRcVBAseFq
The globes lit the way, several paintings of people and landscapes decorated the walls between them.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA1gV0wFSVfn
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAJPQvVZWVEM
A monotone music played from it, a large wind up key on its side turned slowly around.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA2jhQHghBka
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAOlZifo9YOR
"Of pictures eight and light divine, fix the order or thy life be mine."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAza8nBD40aK
The hairs on her arms and neck stood and a tingling marched down her neck. Was this a cursed spirit?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANATWJRZ73dOS
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?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAky0aQ3iMev
She turned around.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAfrrmBEohp8
The doll blocked her way.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAw2tnnmXS9b
"Only one way. You forfeit the game?" Its eyes glittered.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAvlLuajZudp
All her skin tingled. Magic of some sort, had to be. Had. To. Be.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAAWmKOioMoi
She went back.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAzJj2wc6fX3
So too the doll.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAqtX8AjOKtT
It stood quietly; the shadows cast by the light darkened it's brow.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAiG5L19rG7H
Pictures of eight? Divine light?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAsCETmkYQjm
She rubbed her forearm and walked around careful not to turn around. It said pictures and lights. Pictures and lights. Lights and pictures. Ah?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAXP58E2mmm4
On closer inspection the paintings were in an odd order between the globes.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA00LO8sPwIh
She paced the hallway inspecting each painting. How many? Count them?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAe6F6q95mOb
None totaled to eight, the same with the globes.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAoeDlAbdQng
Humm... 48 pictures, and 24 globes. Eight? She rubbed her wrist, frowning.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAvXjdxaI6H1
The pictures blurred from staring at them. Rubbing her forehead, she closed her eyes for a moment. Relax, can't blast through this.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAiwW77lP0Ho
She took one down, rolling it in her hands, then putting it back on the wall.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAaDvgOooGNs
The doll stepped forward, the gears grinding and clicking.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAM2zOgviGS2
"First mistake is made two more to pain."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAVgUedmKe00
Oh-oh. Now what? Count them again? Length, width, the diameter? Gods, what if its the color? Another amount?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAwEr8B5Ldxs
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9H6MWVCTU
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vom6ILvbC
It was probably pointless, but sifted through everything again just in case something could help.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAuVpGIiHXHF
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAa9SEY7QWcO
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?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAmWllePXUx0
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAUKs2wyJVw9
Eyeing the doll, it hadn't moved.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAUrQlUyDnXq
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAIjjacOkAuk
Eight steps. Maybe?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAyj49BlAogK
Repeating this the amount is consistent. This should...
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAiKJGdMf2Hf
She places the picture eight feet next to the first globe, then stepped back her breaths shallow and heartbeat loud.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA5kbi9c2U4d
The doll's eyes flashed.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAvVrioTVZbL
"That is... correct."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAQsJGnBxbfy
Alright, then. She placed the rest also eight feet apart between the remaining globes. The doll still blocked the way. Was something missing?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA3O95wRJFnb
She breathed in.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAqCbvJ0kyu8
"The globes." She nodded. Just do it.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAuayLzba4GP
A few minutes later she placed all the globes on the floor, and replaced eight between the pictures.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAgRihMnxr3x
"One more mistake will sign your fate."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA8JqrBjiCYb
The words echoed through the hall.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAC28113iR3a
Her hands shook while taking them down again. Eight, eight, eight, eight, starting to hate eight!
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAC76scCL6hy
Arrg! Picking up a globe in each hand, she nearly shattered them against the wall. Two Of course!
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAWyrBcDDPuG
She took the globes placing them back, but left out every second one.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAJNoSkGBhS5
"That is ... correct thou may pass."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAMmbJbMXaCg
It went over to the wall, fading as it did.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANADh03vt9Xrl
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAL1VeBDJUAQ
The animals were more aggressive, old less used magics cropping up, what next?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAHkwEa1zynJ
Unnamed chuckled.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAGfA2ddQJJz
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAqcfMQzwCHW
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?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAyIFbqy7KcH
She froze.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANATiH6jzEbBH
A soft crinkling filled the room ahead. It stopped.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAuWAHLgq7IN
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAmI9C6vEVt3
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAS60jOv06Ts
Crinkle. Cackle. Pop.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAKJuoBjfYPd
"Gah!"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANANxlsigRR3d
The carpet under foot shuffled, and rolled up and down in a wave.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA21Ybt7nrgA
She stumbled back back peddling away.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANALzzGhA6CDl
The carpet bubbled, steam hissed from them as they burst.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAVCDJpUgocS
Oh gods.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA6KxKOT5t6H
The edges of the carpet turned black and crinkled cracking again randomly.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAa9kqgzMZLJ
Dark veins slowly threaded throughout it from the blackened edges and pulsed merging at the center forming an intertwined circle.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAA7pAVmUN8i
The carpet levataed, twirling around it self becomeing taller and thiner, and taking on a humanoid outline.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANASK8ZmgX19i
She backed further as it tightened in on itself, smoothing over the humanoid outline. Details of a shadowy robed woman emerged.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA9THy0wo46r
Not just old magics here, but dark, ones grandmother spoke of during the yearly Moon Out.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANARBfT4HVWGq
Reality was far worse. She swallowed hard as the shadowy fourm lightend to that of a woman.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAW7CmfJjtC5
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAqBKdxK9YUt
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA8c43GpR9Ue
"Welcome, won't you sit down?"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANArtvSIclOiQ
She startled at how soft and musical her voice was, guess in part expecting it to be more like a harpy's screech.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAzuFXOrSrdp
"I'm tired of all this. Where are my friends?"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAHugfZblm0x
The woman ignored her and pointed to a chair near the window and bookshelf.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANACuUZJSVqpE
Manners would be wise with this one. The hairs on her arms kept raising and lowering, with every movement the woman made.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAYxp6HRICuf
"I don't feel like sitting. What is your name if I might ask?"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAhlqJfRe4yO
The woman turned exactly to where Merryln stood.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAj5lXje4Srh
"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."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAputDFW6mHu
She walked over to a candle on a table, ran her fingers over it and the wick lit immediately.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA8La03RQtuR
Merryn choked back a gasp. Apparently not enough as the woman smiled some.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAqrrKS0Dp1b
"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-"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5i7lsQhL1
Rouge paused, staring straight at her.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAQItpPYrxy3
Her red rimmed lips parted into an odd smile, like that of a dragon looking down at it's next meal.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANARq1QJOKFaE
Merryn's stomach became acidic and clenched, she stood as streight as possible fighting an urge to rub her arm.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANApxz2XOPkx3
Rouge brandished two gleaming rows of delicately pointed teeth. While white they had a pink tint between them, as to what it was?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANADmr1eLvAgx
"Then I will skin you alive." Rogue's gaze was oddly intense.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANACnrcE7H78V
She shivered.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAPT4Cie29ZE
"Tell me then, what is it you want?"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANASQt3mo2UfC
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAIpJu2Qx2eA
"You ever play hide and seek as a child? I'll be 'it'.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA0qsolGHiny
She sliced the blade back and fourt.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAMZuPh8dj7L
"Don't be caught too quickly now."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAETu8YIoS2E
Rouge came over and pinched the side of her face.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAYvlwvFW42g
"This will only be temporary. If you win that is."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAjS0ZnHFgQY
Her hand flowed over Merryn's face, and touched her eyes.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAP98U5LjnHG
She blinked, all was hazy, then this faded to black. Her breath stuck in her throat, she hyperventilated and wheezed.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAhgZeJDxMPv
"What did you do!" She shreaked.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAPECN4PaVZI
She backed away hands held out, tryingto find something, anything! She smacked into the chair, tripped and fell to her knees.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAHFqsAthZ3a
Rouges voice appeared before her.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANASesUeExXmj
"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."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAizCTnWj0Au
Shuffling now.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAVK74MHpOeR
"Their are five ball bearings in this hourglass. When the last one falls, I will seek."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA6YyFxG75Ah
Rouge's breath hot on her neck, her nails trailed down stinging.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAcJD9wPt90b
"The count starts, now."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAJkKiVHAmLl
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA6kjzOQFhLN
Scrambling forward, holding her hands out they slapped into a wall?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAjAgIHBWlbJ
Ping.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAzS3XHFZjpg
Crap!
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAOZNXbFU2pd
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!
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAzotqylqVFa
"Aaaah!"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAEsJkVehtE9
landing on to her side, she slid down several steps.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAuWGBqbkZk5
Clink.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAFM24UnCaof
How many was it? Hide. Hide! Hide now!
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAQmTS8ABlC1
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAKjSb6K1648
There was a faint smell of roses and sandalwood. The stairwell ended and the wall led to a door, the scent was strongest here.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAxmDkTVrdPd
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?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAXncnmcTD8J
Tink.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANABpGrludEHA
Four!
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAXn6E3dkgJ5
Fugh! The window. Back over at it she pulled up onto the ledge. Her heart doing a bouncing act in her chest and throat.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAd97qNlELiv
Dink!
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAy4k5d7adOI
Reaching out the ledge extended some from the window, but not much.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAAd8UDD652c
Footsteps.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAIXKeaMGmPH
Following the window all around she bumped into a small hard object on the left.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAfO5prmXo60
It seemed big enough. Stupid hands shook making it hard to pull up onto it. She strattled it clinging tight.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAY7U91NG7eE
Footsteps were closer now.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA4JqZ5vssds
What if this is her room? Idiot!
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAjygkbGkp9L
Whats that fluttering?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAyfm60s0iIB
A soft pita-pat-a and scratching.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAvTo9UMsjto
"I know you're near, I can smell you. Fear wraps you and betrays you."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAZYgBpifC45
Rouge snarled.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANARxP8EgNMXG
Fanning her hands out led to nothing.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAByHFZQ1yXg
Clank.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAjvoPRLkuHd
"Come out child the game is over. I tire of this."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA4MJmIriVwX
She scrambled back inside. Rogue was there in an instant her fingers flowing over Merryn's eyes. Blinking and her sight flooded back.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAjTQUkbsBtH
Rouge sniffed.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAmGkOONQxMw
"Before I became blind, you know how I got the stripes on this dress so bright red?"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAnoFcOymyD4
talons
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAPZWFOafRze
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAvUzvH9QTWj
Merryn backed away runing back and out almost going back down the stairwell. No! Not after all that.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAaeS0t5dG3l
She swung around 360° on the pads of her feet and ran down the right corridor.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAJiyqlaIKNx
While near the top of the tower, Rouge's laughter echoed behind her.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAw81mxT0ue8
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANABluEQDRTBp
"Parcival, Han!"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAPSYjgkQDIP
Bending over she patted Parcivall's shoulder.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAWEyFLcVu2z
He moaned and frowned.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAT4c7rjwlGn
"Hey!"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA54xlSsbFs9
He squinted and rubbed a bump on the side if his head.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAbz6lIjKxmn
"Where?"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0CWywNpnU
"The Tower of Focus."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAoLsjvRO4fI
He arched his eyebrows and shook his head. "The gods save us."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAr7N8Yhgn8J
"Did you see who took you here?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAlg1xjKL263
She patted Han's shoulder until awoke. He muttered, sitting and squinted at the light that steamed in though the window.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAvx5E08Onod
"We have to get back to the elders and warn them of a traitor."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAKIfdMIRC7G
"So you-"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAs6addt9ZAb
"No." He looked away as if thinking.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA7k6wlN1PwL
"I was cold-conked from behind. Then woke up in here."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAptRbc820BX
Han pipes in.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANALjXWCG8bbP
"I might have seen something green boots with silver threading."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAtJjkQ9KKEV
"Not much to go by but better then nothing."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANApN2ka6tdNJ
They got up and headed to the door.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA0WjegOpQ9C
"Wait."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAuifhPE3ILK
Parcival turned.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAjdiV9fQSc1
"What is it?"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA88i6BrRdaF
She went over and hugged him quick then went out.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAQpHxtBrDAP
"We better hurry up they seem to have mistaken me for some one else."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAB7XGxXK2YJ
Parcival walked beside her as they went back down the stairs.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAMccXhwIppo
He blinked repeatedly.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAdD0BYXbdGK
"Who's mistaken, you?"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAwTZZGAwlyK
"The elders and the guards. Some one tried to assassinate Raimo."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA9nxxTyhott
He startled and his face became a wall.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7JmLyy3PD
"They walk, but are dead." His voice was low and cold.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAox3l58CWgK
He stiffned. "Did you say this was The Tower of Focus?"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAsiW5eUd6iw
"Yes."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANANL4ZmjZo1m
"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."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAHYfDvKwCQE
The glare from the sun was now half its current size.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAjrHFL0CSKE
"I'd say it's twilight we have a half hour of Civil twilight before it fully sets."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAST9oIutFBs
Civil twilight?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANALaf3V8YjUT
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.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAMOcB0zTND0
The long shadows that sprayed across the white walls were angular and thin, they move at random angles as she followed.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAA6Va6UJqpO
A monotone melody played downstairs dampened by the distance, sharpening as they descend.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANABNR1iETQnJ
A child like giggle raised the hairs on her arms.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA4QWht363q6
"Do you hear that?
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAaP4sIOeF3g
Han's ears rotated back and fourth.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAkLJfbY7EID
"Yes, it's coming closer what ever it is."
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAGcPstI8kW5
A small figure streaked out the corner of her eye.
1156Please respect copyright.PENANA3ARCQSo2qW
"What the hell was that?"
1156Please respect copyright.PENANAKgXESxcmrF
