Chapter 9: Sarah's Freaking out.
"Caltos" Red glowing eyes looked inside the cell where Caltos, Iriana and Bladimir where in. " Caltos?" the voice whispered again. " Caltos Feralton ? Are you in here?" Caltos walked towards the door. " By the will of magic. Vel'Da"Rynn, It's you isn't it?"
" Of course it's me. Who ells in this city would visit some Surfacers. Why do you ask?" Caltos scratched behind his ear. " Well...The last time I mentioned your name, Plyn'Djall was in charge of your body." Vel'Da'Rynn looked worried at Caltos " I'm sorry about that Caltos. I can't help it..." " It's alright Vel. Now... About an escape plan, do you know a way out?"
Iriana jumped up, and she is furies " WHAT!!! YOU'RE GOING TO TRUST THAT. THAT.... SPIDER LOVING WITCH!!!. IT'S BECAUSE OF HER THAT I'M HERE! YOU CAN'T TRUST HER." and with that she raised her fist ready to defend her self. Bladimir looked worried. " Well she got a point there Caltos, thanks to her where in here as well"
Caltos turned towards them with a calm expression. " Please calm down. I've know her for a very long time now. And as long as her good side has control we can trust her." " Wait a minute, what do you mean by her good side" Bladimir asked. " I'll explain it later when we're free. Now about the escape."
" Well..." She put a hand in her pocket and retrieved an amulet with a small moon carved in it. " I think you remember this." and she gave the amulet to Caltos. " Yes of course. It's the teleport stone for the teleporter in the ancient temple ruins." Vel'Da'Rynn nodded " That's correct. Anyway the feeding will begin soon. No one wants to miss that, so the only thing you probably have to do is to avoid the city guards, there's no better moment than this anyway."
"Say Vel, do you have the key to let us out?" Vel'Da'Rynn looked shocked " No I haven't, I thought that you would use a spell or something." They both looked at each other, Then they heard Lothic saying with amusement. " That's all right with me. I don't neat a key to open a lock." and he pulled two hidden hairpins out of his long hair and walked to the door. " I've studied this lock for a while now and I must say that this one is even easier than a ' Mister Wincklers Lock type C '." and he started to pick the lock.
A few seconds later they heard a soft * click * Lothic pushed the door open and started on the other cell door. Seconds later there was another * click * and the door was open. Sarah came out of her cell and saw the same beautiful female Drow who captured them, standing in frond of her. She looked at her red glowing eyes and noticed that there was a small green sparkle in it. " What happened to your eyes? why is there a green sparkle in it? And how come you look just like the other one? Are you twins?" " Sarah. This is not the right moment for that. " Caltos said while walking out of his cell.
suddenly a horn sounded trough out the city " It's time for you to leave." Vel'Da'Rynn said, Caltos grabbed her by her arm. " Vel. Where do they keep our equipment?" " In the upper level. why?" " I have to retrieve some thing, Bladimir! Take this with you." And he gave the amulet to Bladimir. " Follow Vel's directions and go to the Ruins, I will meat you there."
Bladimir looked at Caltos in disbelieve " Caltos, You Can't..." " Stop arguing! Take Sarah and everyone ells with you and GO!" Caltos turned and started to walk in the opposed direction than the one they came from.
Iriana grabbed the old man's arm just in time. Caltos looked irritated at her. " Let go of me." Iriana smiled at him " I'm coming with you." " What?? No you can't" And he started to walk but was pulled back again by Iriana " Look I have to retrieve some things as well so we better go together." Caltos looked at her than shook his head. " Oh alright. but we have to hurry." With that Iriana let go of his arm and both started to run (as fast as Caltos could.)
" Master? Master Wait!" Sarah started to run after Caltos but Bladimir grabbed her just in time " MASTER!" Caltos looked over his shoulders " No Sarah. You stay with Bladimir. Don't worry I'll be back. I promise. " and he went around the corner.
Bladimir turned towards Vel'Da'Rynn, still holding Sarah by her robe. " Lead the way" Vel'Da'Rynn nodded and started to run the direction they came from. They followed her, trough the building. When they reach the Entree Hall, the two guards Looked in there direction and were confused at first when they saw Vel'Da'Rynn, but when they saw the others they grabbed there Javelins. In an instance Vel'Da'Rynn draws her black sword and charged at the guards.
They were stunt, not knowing what to do, for she is female. Killing her mend dead, but doing noting had the same result. One of them tried to stab her but she dodged his blow and with a lightning fast slash she struck his body and he fell dead to the ground. Then she turned towards the other one and charged again. He swings his javelin to the front, trying to block her blow. But her blade cut his javelin in two, as if there was noting there and struck his body. When she pulled her sword out of his body, it fell lifeless to the ground.
Vel'Da'Rynn looked back at the dead bodies than at Bladimir and the others. " Right, I'll take care of these bodies, you on the other hand have to leave trough the east gate, that's to the left of this building. Then take the tunnel on your right, when you are in the tunnel, you only neat to follow the blue glowing moss. It will take you strait to the temple ruins." Bladimir nodded and started to run to the door. Sarah looked back at Vel'Da'Rynn " What about you? " she asked. " Don't worry about me. I'll be fine, now go, before the feeding has ended." " thank you." Sarah said and started to run at the door where Bladimir was waiting.
They entered the streets and started to run for the east gate. after a few minutes the gate came in sight, but it wasn't unguarded. The guards noticed them and draw there crossbows. The bolts flew just over there heads and they jumped into an alley to take cover. " That was close." Liana said, while gasping for air. " Hmm... We have to get closer if we want to go trough that gate" Bladimir said " Everyone stand close to me." Everyone gathered around Bladimir "Good." Then he started to wave with his hands and song a soft chanting, Suddenly a green globe surrounded them and vanished again. " Now Stay behind me" And he ran back into the street. The guards were standing closer now and fired again. but this time the bolts stopped in mid air and few to the ground.
Bladimir smiled at that and raised both hands into the sky. his eyes fixed on the guards. Then all of a sudden, a ball of fire started to grow above his hands. He saw the guards taking a few steps back, looking up. - I'll show them not to mess with us. Wait a minute. they are not looking at the fireball.-
Bladimir looked up and saw two guards jumping from the roof right on top of him. He was pushed to the ground and his fireball shot right into a building and with a loud explosion the building was reduced to a pile of rubble. - Blast it! I let my guard down, This is not good.--
More guards came around the corner and they surrounded them. Lothic pulled two daggers out of his boots and threw one towards a guard, but the armor of the guard was to strong. Both Liana and Kim where firing magic missiles at the guards, But there are to many of them.
Sarah looked for a way of escape. Then two guards grabbed her by her arms " No! LET GO! LET GO!" She screamed and tears rolled over her cheeks. " LET!! GO!!" then. All of a sudden She started to hover above the ground and a strange purple light surrounded her body. The guards lost there grip on her. Sarah slowly turned towards one of them and looked at him with her purple glowing eyes. She pointed a finger at him. Suddenly he started to burn in purple flames. He screamed and rolled over the ground trying to extinguish the fire. but after a while his body stopped moving.
Sarah turned to a group of guards standing around and on top of Bladimir. Her eyes gave a flash of purple light and five more where turned in to dust. The last six guards and even the rest of her party, watched at her in horror. She raised her left hand and the last six guards started to float in to the air. She snapped her fingers and there lifeless bodies fell to the ground.
When she turned around, and noticed two groups of guards coming there way, she landed on the ground, hold both her hands in front of her with a small distance between them, she closed her eyes, a red glowing orb appeared between her hands and she let it fall onto the ground.
The earth started to tremble beneath there feet and it spit open. opening in all the directions where the guards stood, Swallowing the guards and destroying every building in it's path. When the last guard fell into the earth, the earth stopped moving.
Sarah turned towards the East gate and started to hover again. She flew towards the gate and with a single tough, the whole gate crumbles to dust. And with that she fell exhausted to the ground.
Bladimir looked around. looking at the destruction that Sarah had caused. " By the stars..." Lothic got up from the ground " Whoa!!... That is some mighty power she got there, Don't you think Mister La Fasanta?" Liana looked at Lothic " Say Lothic. Remind me not to make her angry, ok?" Kim Looked around and shivered " I'm just glad were not her enemy."
Bladimir got on his feet and looked at Sarah " We have drawn to much of attention, we have to leave now, come on!" and he ran towards Sarah. He picked Sarah's sleeping body up and they ran into the right tunnel. " What are you?" He wondered while running
Liana ran right next to master Bladimir. She looked at Sarah and remembered the thing master Caltos had said to her when she saw Sarah for the first time. - By the gods, master Caltos wasn't kidding when he said that she had hidden powers. He could at least have warned us about how powerful it was. hmmm maybe he didn't know....ACK-
Liana tripped over a rock while she was looking at Sarah and fell hard on the stone floor. --This is not my lucky day-And with that she tries to get up. but the pain in her right knee and arm made this really painful. When she looked up she saw Kim standing in front of her " Well... Odd place for a nap don't you think? Here let me help you." Totally surprised she looked at him " Kim?" And with that he pulled her of the ground and gave her as much as support he could manage.
"Caltos" Red glowing eyes looked inside the cell where Caltos, Iriana and Bladimir where in. " Caltos?" the voice whispered again. " Caltos Feralton ? Are you in here?" Caltos walked towards the door. " By the will of magic. Vel'Da"Rynn, It's you isn't it?"
