[color:"a0a0ff"]STILL SOMEWHERE
I stood up sighing and decided to get over with it - so I stepped out of cave and shielded my eyes who still were not accustomed to light - squinting carefully I looked around and saw - no sun? No sky? No clouds? Everything was clad in a transparent blue light: The "grass" was a dark bluegreen, the "trees" had a bluish brown with turquoise "leaves" and everything seemed to be a tad more geometrical than I was used to. Strange world... very strange world..., everything seemed to waver! As if we were under water. I would have preferred to have a closer look at everything, but...
"BeeGee!!! Enough is enough, since we've been..." Hypatia was in rage, her face had taken an unhealthy bluish-purple colour whilst she tried to get the lamb out of her plants, chase Wolfy away and give the little imp a good ticking-off. BeeGee stood before her, politely smiling, squinting, had his little arms folded behind his back - and jiggled his tiny toes. Lynn and Polgara stood in a safe distance and tried to keep back their laughter. I walked up to Hypatia and touched her shoulder, she whirled around:
"Hypatia... I'm sorry for your herbarium, but it wasn't BeeGee, I'm responsible for this." She glared at me, speechless now and was apparently waiting for an explanation. I felt very uncomfortable - taking BeeGee's same position I explained what had happened: I was too lazy to wash the clothes and had tried my R&P spell, which had turned my cloak into its original shape: lambswool.
"AHA," Hypatia turned on to me, "Didn't I tell you to be careful with magic here? Kiya, you're as bad as BeeGee..." She went on and on and I shrunk and shrunk, hiding my head between my shoulders and feeling like a naughty child.
"Hypatia," Polgara started to giggle," just imagine, this would happened to an army of fierce warriors rushing up to us - all in armour, with weapons and..." Her giggle turned into laughter, " and then Kiya uses her spell and all the ground is cluttered with iron ore, saplings..."she bent over from laughing and Lynn's lips started to twitch, "all those little creatures the leather was made out, start to fall off and scuttle away... and then these... these... warriors... dart into bushes, desperately in need of something to cover what they believe is precious... and BUAHAHAHA!!" Lynn and Polgara held on to each other, laughing helplessly.
"Yes, quite funny," Hypatia's stern expression was mildered, "but nevertheless, Kiya - this is an order: NO magic from now on, right?"
I nodded and winked at BeeGee secretly.
"AND NOW, to the brook and wash these clothes, Kiya - second order."
I nodded again, trotted back to the cave - strange, all colours looked normal to me here, picked up the stuff and slumped over to the brook where a large pot of water was cooking and where the soap and other torture instruments were. Ah, well, I washed, scrubbed, rinsed, hung the clothes over the bushes to dry and during that time I only had one thought:
Nero, huh - you believe, you're in danger - but I'm in a terrible mess here - get me OUUUUUUTTTTTTTT.[/color]
