Merryn flopped onto the last stair, dragging in burning breaths. Should have looked for another way. She gulped in another breath, then stood.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAXicZOTpa2I
The room was large and gray, there were four pillars at different ends.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA0XnJWy0FNv
Long black ordinate tapestries hung on poles by the walls, they are the only decoration. This place wasn't right, everything was off about it.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAin9pB7mniZ
The shadows under the tapestries should have ran along the floor, but instead they went up the wall onto the ceiling. The only light came from globes on the ceiling.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA25UumILOvT
A sensation of just before falling crept up inside. She grabbed a pillar as the floor was gone. No, it's still there.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAf6CyB2Dgvd
At the left end of the room another staircase, again leading up.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAdHzggHQjnf
A low chuckle filled the room. She spin around.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA23inbJ8Fsn
"Hey!"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANApLfgWfOUTQ
No reply.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANANQMbBwrFrD
She ran up the new flight of stairs, it was shorter then the last. On this level several hallways intersected. Now what way? Left? Okay, fine left.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANASPCvvTmj2s
Glowing globes floating above half bowl steel bases lined the walls, turning on one by one as she passed.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAM2h4OJTmKL
A metallic armored humanoid creature passed by, it had faintly glowing runes etched onto its armor, he crouched.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAL6KWCufIIB
"I am the caretaker here. Fail any challenge here and..."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAcyEqKuaLZB
He paused; as did her breath.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAqfC1ZDquen
He ran a finger across his neck.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAi2og6oaSiF
She swallowed hard.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANARqx0fHnRvD
He stood with an arm stretched out and pointed down the hallway.
"Go."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAp3dLAWmtco
She took off down it.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANACtXvt6wvIW
The globes lit the way, several paintings of people and landscapes decorated the walls between them.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANALFuhVFMVAS
An intersection appeared at it's end. It wasn't empty, she skidded to halt as a little porcelain doll in a frilly pink dress was sitting at the middle with its legs sticking straight out under the filly dress.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAB2VDBxo2pk
A monotone music played from it, a large wind up key on its side turned slowly around.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA1xdML3kZxS
The doll's lurched forward, its curly hair flopping forward over it's blue painted eyes. Moving in slow motion onto its cracked hands it pushed up and stood, the hinges of its mouth creaked as it opened.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAf8O0Jj0Zpw
"Of pictures eight and light divine, fix the order or thy life be mine."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAOpJiTRTMBN
The hairs on her arms and neck stood and a tingling marched down her neck. Was this a cursed spirit?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAVveiQ6oHrI
The doll's mouth opened wide and flames streamed out, the heat searing her arms face. She jumped back, then rubbed face and arms chasing away the heat. Perhaps this wasn't the right way to go?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAOn4k6rCRwN
She turned around.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAbeAEIpRaDN
The doll blocked her way.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAEXeHC3a8If
"Only one way. You forfeit the game?" Its eyes glittered.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANADzCjBfdg9B
All her skin tingled. Magic of some sort, had to be. Had. To. Be.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAffsjDjSPmj
She went back.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAat6hEKc0xL
So too the doll.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAxAhpud9HVT
It stood quietly; the shadows cast by the light darkened it's brow.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA0ffFSfXQtj
Pictures of eight? Divine light?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAkQbHOoUWx4
She rubbed her forearm and walked around careful not to turn around. It said pictures and lights. Pictures and lights. Lights and pictures. Ah?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAEOwUJ3Vepn
On closer inspection the paintings were in an odd order between the globes.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA5qIz9lY9SM
She paced the hallway inspecting each painting. How many? Count them?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANANnUfxH9S9G
None totaled to eight, the same with the globes.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAwCyxErA6GG
Humm... 48 pictures, and 24 globes. Eight? She rubbed her wrist, frowning.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANABAgFjOzpOq
The pictures blurred from staring at them. Rubbing her forehead, she closed her eyes for a moment. Relax, can't blast through this.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAKB8x5KdT1f
She took one down, rolling it in her hands, then putting it back on the wall.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAG78hdf72OY
The doll stepped forward, the gears grinding and clicking.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAeB6HA0vpoz
"First mistake is made two more to pain."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvFSHrqYkn2
Oh-oh. Now what? Count them again? Length, width, the diameter? Gods, what if its the color? Another amount?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA5kq66FlXEK
She sat down slowly on the floor and untied all the pouches dumping them into a pile. Ahead it hadn't moved the doll's glass eyes glinted.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAUi3ERJePVk
She sorted the various items into smaller piles, potions in one, thief picks in another. A linen thread was tangled around one of the metal tools, she put it aside.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANATar8pfpanJ
It was probably pointless, but sifted through everything again just in case something could help.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAVPkulzVB7F
Picking up the thread again, she fiddled with it. Wrapping it around thumb and pointer finger bouncing it. Of course! She jumped up going over to the nearest globe. It'll be rough, but should work. Keeping the thread wrapped around thumb and pointer finger, she measured the nearest globe.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA6e7rbjuruS
The span of a hand from palm to the thumb is about six inches. What if .. 48 pictures ÷ the 6 inches of the globes? Eight it always comes up as eight. But eight what, eight pictures?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAI3jWXlaKos
Between each of the globes were four pictures over lapping leaving no room for any others. Taking the pictrues down her hands shook. Forty eight total.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAmwrno3DjsE
Eyeing the doll, it hadn't moved.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA9vxTCo23ow
With a picture in hand, she went back to the wall again. The globes were spread several feet from the others. Walking over next to the wall, she stepped heal-toe counting each one.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAeQT6249qKR
Eight steps. Maybe?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANATN8a54Cu2I
Repeating this the amount is consistent. This should...
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA9f3bEIZWu7
She places the picture eight feet next to the first globe, then stepped back her breaths shallow and heartbeat loud.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAyhKD5TaxhQ
The doll's eyes flashed.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvcZhlmXqN7
"That is... correct."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAws68HXCvpN
Alright, then. She placed the rest also eight feet apart between the remaining globes. The doll still blocked the way. Was something missing?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANABpOp4r4Es9
She breathed in.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANApKkdkQ3rT5
"The globes." She nodded. Just do it.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA0P67QzcMLY
A few minutes later she placed all the globes on the floor, and replaced eight between the pictures.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvrDKnqOaSf
"One more mistake will sign your fate."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA5p4fDbLelY
The words echoed through the hall.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAM2KHUtNxZu
Her hands shook while taking them down again. Eight, eight, eight, eight, starting to hate eight!
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAxLubJj1OjG
Arrg! Picking up a globe in each hand, she nearly shattered them against the wall. Two Of course!
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAXsezJuGEKC
She took the globes placing them back, but left out every second one.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAxVNzWOozER
"That is ... correct thou may pass."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAJeTjDD0kCB
It went over to the wall, fading as it did.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAomRQxsB0XG
Merryn raced down the hallway on the right, another flight of stairs loomed. Several hours passed before reaching its top. It was like this place was taller inside then out, some sort of old magics at work.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAFHhP4rGPTF
The animals were more aggressive, old less used magics cropping up, what next?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAYRWfsEdo0r
Unnamed chuckled.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAPaFXzEYm1d
Ah, right an old god awakening. It seemed like people too were different somehow, but as to what it was hard to pinpoint. Only Parcival and Han seemed unchanged.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA4QrEgQ61T2
Bending over hand on knee, she dragged in hot breaths. The air was thick, she struggled to draw in a breath. Sweat driped off her forehead, she wiped it away. Not a single port stone, how did these people get around without dying from old age?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAxYqCk3aSbm
She froze.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAI403C250cL
A soft crinkling filled the room ahead. It stopped.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAozxK8VXOOS
What trap or puzzle will it be this time? The tiles? Drapes coming to life? The hallway on the left crashing down? It was hard moving into the room, every wisp of her being howled; just run back down.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA3pqeJ2YVzn
The walls were curved with odd shaped windows that also were curved fro the top, the sides, then went straight down with a flat bottom. Most of the tiled floor was covered with a fancy ornamental blue and black rug, stepping on it, she went over to the odd window ahead.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAG8HLCrxf3O
Crinkle. Cackle. Pop.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAWHTCq0jJSo
"Gah!"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAWLWqqgtXMZ
The carpet under foot shuffled, and rolled up and down in a wave.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAUXRuM0USnq
She stumbled back back peddling away.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAjeBCAn2no2
The carpet bubbled, steam hissed from them as they burst.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAYOjoP90IeS
Oh gods.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANARZs1FjqcCH
The edges of the carpet turned black and crinkled cracking again randomly.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANACDfFj6i9sg
Dark veins slowly threaded throughout it from the blackened edges and pulsed merging at the center forming an intertwined circle.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANACu7LqOPP8J
The carpet levataed, twirling around it self becomeing taller and thiner, and taking on a humanoid outline.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAIHejdnR8nQ
She backed further as it tightened in on itself, smoothing over the humanoid outline. Details of a shadowy robed woman emerged.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAZsaCKCLTuW
Not just old magics here, but dark, ones grandmother spoke of during the yearly Moon Out.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAeWgfaUQEwK
Reality was far worse. She swallowed hard as the shadowy fourm lightend to that of a woman.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAJZffJLIyZM
The woman had white hair up on a tight apple bun. Her eyes were an unblinking milky white that seemed to be far too aware.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAlUpekj0XqR
Her eyebrows, lashes, and lips weren't much better and were of bright red that contrasted with her translucent porcelain, heart shaped face. The woman wore an elaborate red and white tight dress of a criss crossing checker pattern. Her nails like silver talons were long and filed to a point.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAgMhsMi6zEF
"Welcome, won't you sit down?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA3SzVVh9cey
She startled at how soft and musical her voice was, guess in part expecting it to be more like a harpy's screech.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA16rwYb9jtG
"I'm tired of all this. Where are my friends?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA54NDPnVpUX
The woman ignored her and pointed to a chair near the window and bookshelf.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAxDosIgKqbX
Manners would be wise with this one. The hairs on her arms kept raising and lowering, with every movement the woman made.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAKURXZvz1Jd
"I don't feel like sitting. What is your name if I might ask?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAK3umkfpxtz
The woman turned exactly to where Merryln stood.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAfz78kJCzdd
"Rouge. I will give you your next challenge. I don't know of your friends, it's hard to keep tally of the scrubs that are brought here."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAKOnxd8uB3x
She walked over to a candle on a table, ran her fingers over it and the wick lit immediately.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAaPPlUL0Cx9
Merryn choked back a gasp. Apparently not enough as the woman smiled some.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANADRMPY4HDbb
"If you win, then go through the right corridor. You find the newest scrubs in there, perhaps they are who you're looking for. If you lose-"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAkg2EWGJDVp
Rouge paused, staring straight at her.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA6HZ8qYvqIP
Her red rimmed lips parted into an odd smile, like that of a dragon looking down at it's next meal.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA5i07BwpcOu
Merryn's stomach became acidic and clenched, she stood as streight as possible fighting an urge to rub her arm.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA10t1xsgVAD
Rouge brandished two gleaming rows of delicately pointed teeth. While white they had a pink tint between them, as to what it was?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAtmBrGMsN6A
"Then I will skin you alive." Rogue's gaze was oddly intense.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAz4CdxRXYV3
She shivered.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvLorRGElwX
"Tell me then, what is it you want?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA0sYSaFkaV3
Rouge cuped her hands as she went over to the large lamp at the end of the room. She flicked her wrist upwards, a sword dropped out of the air. She caught it with one hand.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA2L0FwgKKhY
"You ever play hide and seek as a child? I'll be 'it'.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAB5EB3sTwcs
She sliced the blade back and fourt.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA1rpn9yruMh
"Don't be caught too quickly now."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANASKzCqlt2nP
Rouge came over and pinched the side of her face.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAi4vQF3iRjs
"This will only be temporary. If you win that is."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAw8v7kj4ZFh
Her hand flowed over Merryn's face, and touched her eyes.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAfjNm1NU5Uo
She blinked, all was hazy, then this faded to black. Her breath stuck in her throat, she hyperventilated and wheezed.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAT31Hjge2Dw
"What did you do!" She shreaked.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA2ObXgnUov5
She backed away hands held out, tryingto find something, anything! She smacked into the chair, tripped and fell to her knees.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAqbbiYz8wIr
Rouges voice appeared before her.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAgIOEXtlPVo
"You will have to the count of five to hide. If I fail to find you, your sight will be restored. If you find me first I will let you pass."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAZbJcYiZoKF
Shuffling now.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAIScuMEFggi
"Their are five ball bearings in this hourglass. When the last one falls, I will seek."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA9tXBsYFote
Rouge's breath hot on her neck, her nails trailed down stinging.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAhCtYTyInlA
"The count starts, now."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAa79WSvX9v9
A trickle of sweat came down her neck. She wiped it away; it smeared? The sharp tang of blood filled her nose. The scraches hit full fource. She cuped her neck, shaking.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANACSNXXceJqX
Scrambling forward, holding her hands out they slapped into a wall?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAryepdwBabk
Ping.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANALeBgSnzV0i
Crap!
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAuHOSRaeeKW
With the wall guiding her she followed it. A while later smacked into a hard, flat surface. Quickly running her hands over its tops and sides. A table. Following its end to nothingness!
1136Please respect copyright.PENANALwp4LjHAnC
"Aaaah!"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZneywCxwk
landing on to her side, she slid down several steps.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANABphTzeWvxC
Clink.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAkws1MarQGw
How many was it? Hide. Hide! Hide now!
1136Please respect copyright.PENANApl2Pcv7kmi
She crawled around witha hand out in front. Her fingers brushed a hard and smooth object next to the wall that headed down. She grasped it. She flitted her hands into space and almost tipped over forward. More stairs. Going back she cluched the banaster and worked her way down.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA6OwXdq9SVy
There was a faint smell of roses and sandalwood. The stairwell ended and the wall led to a door, the scent was strongest here.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAVaacTuAQSB
She followed the wall in the room cautiously. A bedroom as there was furniture and a bed so far. A cold breeze blew on her hands, following the wall led to a window carved into the wall. Another wall to right. Back over to the bed she ran both hands down it. Maybe go under it?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAEey4KQrVEB
Tink.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAzOMZPc7UWc
Four!
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZAObzunNv
Fugh! The window. Back over at it she pulled up onto the ledge. Her heart doing a bouncing act in her chest and throat.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAG8ez58EuDd
Dink!
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAFAm7ceYQ40
Reaching out the ledge extended some from the window, but not much.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA6qQtzIkDaq
Footsteps.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAb0NodM0uu8
Following the window all around she bumped into a small hard object on the left.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAq7asjE51ed
It seemed big enough. Stupid hands shook making it hard to pull up onto it. She strattled it clinging tight.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANARFYKZMhXka
Footsteps were closer now.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANArbRavHbHwL
What if this is her room? Idiot!
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAhfs06RAUUY
Whats that fluttering?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA3hQQrJO8ky
A soft pita-pat-a and scratching.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA5YdNuWeNcf
"I know you're near, I can smell you. Fear wraps you and betrays you."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANATdCmgvIx5Q
Rouge snarled.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAoHRza96iPm
Fanning her hands out led to nothing.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAe1AqRc7s4l
Clank.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAg2ET0T7EG7
"Come out child the game is over. I tire of this."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA8PCk57pUTZ
She scrambled back inside. Rogue was there in an instant her fingers flowing over Merryn's eyes. Blinking and her sight flooded back.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAcGypbfJOv8
Rouge sniffed.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA6V7peB4sLn
"Before I became blind, you know how I got the stripes on this dress so bright red?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANABcVApTO5wh
talons
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAef2lR91XS4
Rouge traced a talon along the top of her hand, cutting a thin line before she could move away. She caught a blood drop on its tip and licked it.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAOuV6x8s3Sb
Merryn backed away runing back and out almost going back down the stairwell. No! Not after all that.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAKlGwelp8EH
She swung around 360° on the pads of her feet and ran down the right corridor.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA7VxRERUaof
While near the top of the tower, Rouge's laughter echoed behind her.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAG0KdKiJgtB
At the toop a long halway that led to another door. Peaking inside the circular room it was dark and mostly empty. Parcival and Han both were slumped on the floor.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAZaMub5cEm5
"Parcival, Han!"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAVuAB91jr5V
Bending over she patted Parcivall's shoulder.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA78oCg3b1x7
He moaned and frowned.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAUPrCQSd5o2
"Hey!"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAEl80iKjoU3
He squinted and rubbed a bump on the side if his head.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANASRvRkB80oW
"Where?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAtLm7D8cPG0
"The Tower of Focus."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAEn1nqOI8ML
He arched his eyebrows and shook his head. "The gods save us."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAMoZE8HHi8e
"Did you see who took you here?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAnmrN7KVUYd
She patted Han's shoulder until awoke. He muttered, sitting and squinted at the light that steamed in though the window.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANANo8ctya4Ks
"We have to get back to the elders and warn them of a traitor."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAUHfSCXVo7S
"So you-"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAxsj8aM1D6x
"No." He looked away as if thinking.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANASwlG2HKI4Z
"I was cold-conked from behind. Then woke up in here."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANADBF1df2QK2
Han pipes in.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAvUFsphrpU5
"I might have seen something green boots with silver threading."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAZEXpzjv9Cg
"Not much to go by but better then nothing."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA4rovgkeQJq
They got up and headed to the door.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZpWWLRM1w
"Wait."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA3Oep9m7zyx
Parcival turned.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAU5jS5C92K3
"What is it?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAmBvnWaN7Op
She went over and hugged him quick then went out.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAHt0BN563Kc
"We better hurry up they seem to have mistaken me for some one else."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1M05msP42
Parcival walked beside her as they went back down the stairs.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAE2r7eY5mHN
He blinked repeatedly.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAVhvFxMpmwg
"Who's mistaken, you?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAY2AlcjPjUa
"The elders and the guards. Some one tried to assassinate Raimo."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAfZNHGGCgHS
He startled and his face became a wall.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA0Psz5XRmV3
"They walk, but are dead." His voice was low and cold.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA7MvqkOj5YP
He stiffned. "Did you say this was The Tower of Focus?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAzHvBwfGHE2
"Yes."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAcclVCR2MIX
"If we don't leave this tower by sundown we will be stuck in here permanently. This is one of three of the Old ones towers. Anyone that tallys too long will gradually have all energy drained. At sundown its doors lock and the windows disappear."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAx6TZizuGtN
The glare from the sun was now half its current size.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAcrOoA0p434
"I'd say it's twilight we have a half hour of Civil twilight before it fully sets."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANACNlq0UgL7H
Civil twilight?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAUG678yZKsl
They sprinted down the stairs teo at a time. Han bounded down several at a time, his tail swinging back and fourth and reached the bottom first.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA11t1MjeTfz
The long shadows that sprayed across the white walls were angular and thin, they move at random angles as she followed.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANA92avro21Dl
A monotone melody played downstairs dampened by the distance, sharpening as they descend.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAhIeXfy3xVG
A child like giggle raised the hairs on her arms.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAWYuy2BMkT7
"Do you hear that?
1136Please respect copyright.PENANABfWn394Hk1
Han's ears rotated back and fourth.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANANuVhxZ9QpV
"Yes, it's coming closer what ever it is."
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAFW0zervCiW
A small figure streaked out the corner of her eye.
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAN9n6KVe7ks
"What the hell was that?"
1136Please respect copyright.PENANAY8CJJ84bzM
