Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Staring
Inside Sengann, Donalbain and Orsino found themselves being stared at by the Labinnac. Jaques' death had caused them to doubt their leaders and without the ability to heal, Donalbain and Jaques were both in danger of being treated the way Labinnac treated any other Evabon. They would be attacked and killed… They were outnumbered.
"Donalbain…" whispered Orsino. "What are we going to do? They look like they want to flay us alive!"
"Calm down, Orsino. That is just a myth." Donalbain gave a nervous swallow. "I think…"
"We just can't kill them to remind them who we are. That will send us to join Donalbain." Orsino's slip of the tongue caused Donalbain to stare. "Jaques! I mean Jaques! I don't wish you had died instead! I didn't find Jaques more likable than you!"
"Be quiet." Donalbain looked at the nearby statue. "She did this to us!" He grabbed a mace and swung at the statue. The instant is struck, the statue shattered to a million pieces. Upon seeing this, the Labinnac stopped staring and began to cringe in fear. "Ten Labinnac step forward before I start crippling ten!" Immediately, ten of the cannibalistic beings stepped forward. "Look for every statue in this place and shatter it! These things are what makes me and Orsino weak! If we die, Mumm-Ra will bring down his wrath upon your entire misbegotten race!" A lie it might have been but it did scare the Labinnac into doing as they were ordered and away from the thought of flaying Donalbain and Orsino alive.
The sound of a ram crashing against the second gate ringed through the fortress. The battle would resume.
