Chapter IV

Hope you all like my story so far.

Rhianna had been tracking the Shadow Crawler for 2 hours since it had attacked the mages.

She had tracked it to the Astral Planes on to the Plane of Illusion.

There she lost the Crawler's trail.

Not having to hide her appearance she had changed back in to her normal self. Blue jeans, midnight blue tee, black hair, purple and green eyes, and black wings with veins of metallic blue and purple.

Where did that hunk of lard go? Rhianna wondered. It's not powerful enough to hide this long.

Thud. Something heavy had landed behind her.

Before she could turn around whatever it was had zipped past her and knocked her to the ground.

"Where is your nasty master?" She asked standing up and looking at the giant dust cloud headed her way. It stopped about four feet from her and took human form.

"Wouldn't you like to know," It sneered at her.

"Well duh! That's why I asked! The moron is usually her by know. Ranting about his latest scheme like some low rate TV villain," Rhianna snapped back.

"I'm helping out a friend of his." The Crawler said like it was something to be proud of.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why does evil help evil? It makes good's job so much harder."

"Because evil rules good drools!"

"Who?"

"Who what?"

"Who are you helping?"

"ME!" A new voice thundered.

"Who the tell are you?" Rhianna asked the figure of a young woman in a flowing gray dress.

"I am the storm goddess Kalia. Soon to be empress of the universe."

"Whoa. Huge ego alert."

"Do not mock me!"

"Why not?"

"Because I will soon be-"

"Ya Ya. You will soon be-"

"DO NOT INTERUPT ME FOR I WILL SOON B-"

"Hey that's rude! You should never interrupt your superiors!"

"Superiors! I'll teach you to disrespect me! Crawler attack!"

"Whoa! Touché."

The Crawler that had been standing still watching the two suddenly turned into a dust cloud (The dust cloud is just as deadly as a bolder) again and lunged at Rhianna.

Rhianna easily took a side step, and the Crawler lunged past.

This shouldn't be hard.

The Crawler came at her again.

She held out her hands, and the Crawler hit knocking the two to the ground and rolls a little.

Rhianna was up first.

Before the Crawler could get up Rhianna sent vines out that intertwined its self around the Crawler.

In the impact the Crawler became human in confusion.

Kalia seeing she was losing called, "This isn't over!" and disappeared.

Rhianna stood there a little while longer to relocate her arm that had been dislocated when the Crawler hit her.

Ouch! I guess I better tell those mages about Kalia.

When she got back to her house see sent the mages e-mail.

Sender: Unknown

To: Look alive new info.

I have new info about the Shadow Crawler. You all are wrong! It isn't working for the Spider Witch and the Dark Sorceress. It is on loan for the Dark Lord to someone named Kalia…

Before I get a lot of mail asking where the rest off the message is. I'll tell you know that it is continued on to the next chapter.
