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...

Chapter 22 search for LowennaRique had seen Lowenna crash and was running through the streets. Grilk was just behind her while carrying all the bags and weapons. It had only been by chance she had looked up and seen the flying woman, which she had just known was Lowenna, the bright pink wings had been a big clue."Why we run?" Grilk mumbled grumpily. He didn't like running. Orcs weren't made for running, as he had told eve...

1Chapter 21, Entering The PalaceLowenna noticed the sun was starting to set as she slid down the rope from the window to the alleyway. Azmil landed beside her, “We head for the palace, sneak in and try and find out what happened to your friend and the other lawmen.”“Agreed,” Lowenna said with a nod. Azmil was more serious now and showed real determination, which Lowenna had only seen when he had been trying to capture or...

Chapter 17 Not AloneScrotum was sitting on the floor, in a little pain, having shoulder banged the door, without success. “Lilly, can Anna remove the Magnetic device and open the door?”“I’m afraid Anna was a little damaged when Sweet-Cheeks bashed her head in. Then she hit the Hunter. After she had put you to bed, I started the repair cycle, but she is offline right now. She should be back online soon, I hope.”“Are you ly...

AR-K0N-X3 had infiltrated the L1’s program, as he knew it would, his Arkon was far superior, stolen from a battleship.Sweet-Cheeks didn’t like this, Scrotum had saved her life, even if he was a useless, smelly man and there was no chance of her ever sleeping with him. Roberto wasn’t the nicest man she had ever met, though his massiv...

Chapter 20, Visions of tomorrowsWhen Lowenna opened her eyes she was no longer in the lovely comfortable bed, but lying on the hard ground “Dreamscape,” she whispered to herself, hoping she had at least rested for a little while. She slowly got up. It was dark. Lowenna could see one of the moons high above her, while the clouds hid the other.Lowenna looked around to find she was at the bottom of the stairs, which lead to...

Chapter 15 Aboard The Thrust.Scrotum was sitting on the toilet hiding, He knew Knob was on his ship, and Lilly was trying to get him off.“Why don’t you just leave the ship, big Knob,” Lilly suggested. “Worse case scenario, you will be beamed into space and die. It will be quick.”“Thank you Li1, but I think I will wait here,” Knob replied, with a touch of sarcasm.Knob entered the cockpit and looked at the controls and chai...

Chapter 19 Unmasked lawmanThe rain had stopped. Both of Orkenza's moons were on show, and the first sign of the new sun was just starting to show.Lowenna had been keeping to the shadows, trying to stay out of sight. At the moment she was watching the Doc Side Inn. The Lawmen knew she had a room there. She had lost her boots, her cape, her money and her weapons. All she had left a stolen robe a pair of sandals, her crystal...

In the Captain's quarters, Sive continued to poke around the Captain's things thinking, “Yes, very nice quarters Captain. Too bad I can't hide here until we docked at some planet where I could slip away.” Sive ordered herself a cup of java with lots of cream from the food dispenser and sipped it slowly while she considered her next move. Hiding as a crew member was one option, but she was pushing her luck. As much as she...
