[color:"#aoff80"]"Gah, nose tingle - blow your nose, Nero, you've probably got an allergy. There are no enemies," I said sharply. "Come on over now and help me with the cages, will you?"
I gave the griffin a smile and then peered into the cage where Fergus was: Not a nice creature - its tail was cut off at the end where the dangerous porcupine stings were, but his pincers were huge and sharp, he slashed against the bars and winced back when the magic hit him.
"Uhoh, Fergy, I'll leave you to Womble..."
I turned to another interesting cage where I saw something grey lifeless on its side and then....
"Ohhhhh, nooo!"
"What's the matter DQueene?"
She was pale and held her head, then she told me that Viper was in danger and needed aid - that the way to him was trapped and:
"Kiya, he's hiding it from me but... he's WOUNDED! Something has pierced him!"
"Okok, keep calm - you,
DQueene go for him, I'll get Womble and Jurak - they'll have to stop their loot party - and you,
Nero... bah, do what you wish... look for your enemies, join her or me..."[/color]
[color:"#00cccc"]I darted off to the secret entrance without waiting for an answer and whizzed into the secret entrance Womble had discovered. I was angry now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />- angry and worried about Viper. I sped down the staircase - or to be exact I slipped down - falling, stumbling and bruising myself. This did NOT improve my temper - ran across the hallway - easy, Womble had lost a few gold coins <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> - jumped over the 3 dead guards
What's wrong with you, Womble? they've still got their clothes on - are you getting picky? - crossed the doorway with the mysterious glow and stopped dead in my tracks! I was panting, wheezing and coughing by now, trying to catch my breath: It was a naturally formed cavern of what looked like limestone with many small caves around the perimeter full of stalagmites and stalagtites with a fluorescent glow.
And now? Calling: Yoohoohhoo, Wombly-Pet, where are youuu - dinner's ready? I've got a nice jug of beer for you, matey? Have you seen these pretty diamonds in my cleavage? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />I decided to calm down first and then use my ears as a guide.
I'll just have to follow jingling bells then... AND you'd better start jingling very soon - you truant! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
