(Scene: tunnels outside of Menzoberranzan, the scout for a patrol (Tyferlin) finds a strange door. Tyferlin is dressed in piwafwi, etc. Hair is chin-length and half is tied back leaving the bottom part hanging down. Has a silver earring hanging from one ear.)

Tyferlin: huh? It must be someone's idea of a joke…

(Tries to walk through but can't)

Tyferlin: It must be enchanted, I'll just try my hand crossbow

(Shoots dart through passageway without trouble)

Tyferlin: I see… It only lets small things through. It probably leads to Arach-Tinilith then, to let all those awful spiders through!

(Lightening bolt strikes him out of nowhere)

Tyferlin (flatly): ow.

(pulls out a small vial, drinks all of the contents, and shrinks to eight inches tall)

Tyferlin: Okay. Here we go… heheheh…

(walks down hallway and pauses)

Tyferlin: How long did Quilek say this thing lasts?

(starts to get uneasy)

*flashback*

Quilek: If you drink too much of this it will never wear off 'dear' brother

Tyferlin: How much is too much?

Quilek: the whole vial.

*End flashback*

Tyferlin: NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Me pops out of nowhere)

Me: ooh! You're so short!

Tyferlin: I hate you.

Me: Why? You don't even know me!

Tyferlin: I can already tell from your perky demeanor that we will have a personality conflict.

Me: whoa. Whoever said that fighters are mentally challenged must not have met you before.

Tyferlin: huh?

Me: nevermind

Tyferlin: Why are you here anyway?

Me: To offer you the most honorary and distinguished office of "Muse" to one of the greatest authors of all time!

Tyferlin: C.S. Lewis?

Me (aggravated): No, you idiot! Me!

Tyferlin: Umm… no.

Me: Then be prepared to face my wrath!

Tyferlin: eep! I'll do it! I'll do it!

Me (smugly): I knew you'd see it my way.

(Tyferlin grumbles)

Me (thinking): Now where to put you…

(Me, snaps fingers and both end up in a lavish bedroom, with Ariana talking to Geniv)

Me: Take care of this little friend of mine won't you?

Ariana (doesn't look up): If I do, what will you pay me.

Me: Letting you stay in this story and not putting you back into the situation you were in my last fic, little fishy…

Ariana (pales): don't remind me!

Me: I knew-

Geniv: you'd see it my way. We know!

(Me glares at Geniv. Ariana looks up at Tyferlin)

Ariana (gasps): I knew they existed!

Tyferlin: WHAT!

Ariana: Pygmy Elves! What a discovery! I'll be famous!

Tyferlin: but-

(Ariana picks him up and takes him to another room. Me shrugs shoulders and leaves)
