"Come on, Kiya... wake up... you've slept too long already..."

I opened my eyes slowly, everything was blurry, but after some time I saw Hypatia's face hovering over me.

"Hypatia, my eyes... something's wrong with them - and Nero is in danger... must get to him..."

I tried to get up, but she pushed me gently back down on the grass bed I was lying on.

"No use, Deary, we can't get out of here, we're trapped. Your eyes will be perfect after a while - you've just slept very long."

"TRAPPED?? What happened?

"You screamed at Polgara to draw a ban around Wolfy's lair, remember? Well, then things turned out wrong, the crystal you had placed on the cave, soared into the air and buried itself in your chest... We could just grab you and then all of us were teleported to this place, a very small world, more like a time-trap-bubble and no way out. Polgara has examined this very exactly. And don't worry, we're all okay. Lynn and Polgara are looking for herbs, and BeeGee... Well, some idiot taught him how to dig holes, he's teaching Wolfy now - my herbarium has been ruined already. And I have no clue what they're up to at the next moment!!"

I clutched my chest.

"Don't worry, I was able to remove the crystal, but a little shard is in your heart now - you're intertwined with it forever. But take care, this crystal seems to interfere with magic." She raised her finger and pointed at a bundle in the corner.

"Kiya, there's no use in crying over spilled milk - now get up and do something sensible, these clothes need a wash. Out there's a brook and some soap - lavender soap."

Great, I lost my spell power, we're trapped and now I have to wash!! What next? Cooking? Taking care of BeeGee? Ahhhhh, maybe washing Wolfy? with lavender soap?

I groaned..

"No, Kiya - we're a team here, stop pretending - wash these clothes. I've got to go and bake some fruit." With these words Hypatia gave me a stern motherly look and bustled off. I scowled - heaved myself up and looked at the bundle closer. CRAP! DRAT! On top of this bundle lay my very heavy woollen cloak - a bit short, torn and tattered, but the only one I had - and very dirty and filthy.

Hmmmmmm, Hypatia's gone, a little R&P wouldn't harm, would it?

I drew the rune and blew it into the cloak's direction...

[color:"yellow"]BAAHAAHAH... BAA... BAAA... [/color]

GULP. My cloak had vanished - a little lamb stood in its place and jumped out of the cave..

I dug my head in my hands and sank on the grass bed.

How am I going to explain this? the group will kill..

"Nooo, what the heck is this? Where did it come from? Get out of my flowers, shoo, shooo. BeeGee!!! What did you do again!" Hypatia's voice rang out, mixed with BeeGee's squeals, Wolfy's howls and other voices.

Sigh... guess I'm in trouble... again[/color]
