[color:"#aoff80"]Fergus, the manticore, put up a fierce struggle and tried desperately to free itself, but Jurak had thankfully used tight knots - they held. Its eyes rolled wildly and I knew this symbol of tyranny, disparagement and envy - ultimately the embodiment of evil - would have no open ear for any arguments. It wanted to kill - and if it had a chance - even us. Only one thing could put it at peace - for a while...
The Lullaby of Sleep began... soft whisper of trees in the wind... silver light of the moon... a gentle snore... sleep... a little sigh... sleep... cradle rocking... peace... all is well... sleep
The manticore slowly ceased to struggle, its head dropped to the ground and after a while it lay there - silent - asleep.
I looked wearily at Jurak and whispered to LaShandra:
"Take good care of all - we're gone for a while, but we'll come back, I feel Aganeth is not far away anymore - we're running out of time, but our comrades need us. Remember your promise: If you all are freed, you'll aid us in this last fight - for now, farewell. Come on, Jurak, back to the troops again," she smiled and nodded grimly.
My eyes were heavy and sore - I really needed sleep myself - but...[/color][color:"#00cccc"]I followed Jurak to the main hallway... weary... exhausted and wondering how we could help Viper...[/color]
