Lily couldn't remember a time when she felt so bored. She made her way into the kitchen to get something for breakfast, trying to figure out how she was going to pass the time when her Father spoke up. "Lil. We need groceries and some other supplies. Go and pick some up." He handed her a wad of money. She blinked at it in surprise. "No problem. I'll need the keys too." "You can walk." She blinked owlishly at him. "Dad, th...
After night had fallen and Lily was certain that her father was sleeping, she pulled out her cell-phone, and the card in her back pocket. She ran her fingers over the raised numbers and then dialed them. She was a little surprised there was any cell service out here. "Hello?" She recognized Klaus's voice. "Um, Klaus? This is Lily. We just met today if you remember?" There was a surprised pause on the other end, and she he...
Lily jerked awake, barely registering the chorus of the song playing on the radio, and the white noise sounds cars made while on the move. She was dreaming about running through the forest. Something was chasing her, and she was all alone. She shook it off and looked around to familiarize herself with the here and now. Next to her in the driver's seat was her Dad. His familiar bearded profile brought her no comfort. Then...
Chapter 32, BondingErkut fell to the ground, and Nera who had taken to the air fell on top of him. Sudden pain flowed through their heads.Everyone else collapsed or grabbed their heads in pain. Even Lowenna had to close her eyes and covered then with her hands, not knowing where the pain had come from. It felt like someone had just thrust a red-hot poker through her skull.As the pain started to subside, she looked over...
Chapter 31 The new hunter of the mazeRique was running as fast as she could, but Lowenna was faster. The only advantage she had was her long or high jump. Still, Lowenna was gaining on her. She ducked as a pale pink ball of fire shot over her head. She couldn't die, not like this. She had to save everyone. She had promised Callan that she would destroy the crystal and save everyone.Lowenna was chasing her friend. S...
Chapter 30, Lowenna LostDarcariel had a big smile on her face. She knew the Lowenna was hers now, no more resisting, no more running. "Stay here Jibranz. I'm going to look at my new toy."Jibranz nodded. He was still worried that the Lowenna would fight, and try to kill his queen. He was staying on high alert.Lowenna stood there with a vacant smile on her face watching her queen. She had resisted for so long, and it...
Chapter 29 Other Side Of The DoorLowenna looked at the large imposing door. It was the first one she had seen since entering the labyrinth. She didn't want to go back, not through the room with all those dead bodies.She tried the latch, it moved, and with a strong push the door creaked open. Lowenna froze. There was a dead body in the corner, not a skeleton, but an actual body. She released the door as she looked at...
Chapter 28 the power of Darcariel The party had wandered on for a while. Rique had made a mistake translating one of the symbols, but apart from having to double back once, they seemed to be making real progress.Everyone was still on edge, Grilk had already drawn his newly acquired sword and had nearly attacked a statue with it. Talia was staying very close to Rique, giving Rique a boost of confidence. Talia seemed to...

Chapter 27 HuntedThe mist was flowing through the stone paths keeping low, so it was hard to see the floor, and the air was cool and damp. Lowenna was experiencing deja-vu. She rounded another corner, nearly slipping on the slick floor. Stopping for a second to catch her breath, she could feel her heart pumping. She knew couldn’t stay here for long. She was being hunted. The fear she had been experiencing was getti...
Chapter 26 Praise the Elf God Dalelana.Rique was trying to keep her eyes out for any other traps as she lead the group of five. She couldn't help thinking what had happened was her fault they had lost Lowenna, and then Azmil so soon after. She had convinced everyone to come here. She was so sure this was the right course of action, but now, she was starting to doubt it. She didn't know how far or where the crystal was...
Chapter 25 A Child of Ebrus "Wenna!" Grilk shouted, but again there was no reply. Talia was crying, and Rique was trying to convince Callan to let her climb down after her friend."Look I feel for you, but she is either dead or trapped down there. We have to find that crystal to save everyone else, or have you changed your mind about why we came down here?" Callan said, keeping his face emotionless.Rique went to protes...
Chapter 24 Passageways and trapsLowenna had been told that Callan didn't trust her with a weapon. Which annoyed Lowenna, as she needed something to defend herself.Talia had given her some plain clothes, and Rique had stayed to help her. "I am fine Rique," Lowenna said for the third time."No, you not, a lot has happened to you and your magic gets weaker every moment. We have to find this crystal and destroy it."Lowenna slo...
Chapter 23 In Her MindIt was dark and cold where Lowenna was. She turned a corner and started running again. She had been here before, running through dark passageways, trying to keep ahead of the lion creature. Something was different. She kept getting glimpses of a beautiful dark haired woman. She knew this woman but couldn't place from where. "Run Lowenna," a dark echoing voice called out, causing Lowenna to run even f...
Part OneWynn woke up to the sound of Clair De Lune resonating all throughout the big, empty house. It wound its lonely way up the stairs, through every hallway, until it came to rest gently in her ears, in her mind. Each note rang clear and clean like the flow of a river at night.She threw off the covers and sat up. Streams of moonlight poured through the window as if summoned as a testament to the song. She thought of t...
