Sorry about the long wait people, but I have good news. For Christmas I got an automatic talk type voice recognition program. This will allow me to write my stories faster so the wait won't be as long as it was

Day 8 7:00 P.M.
Raven continued her walk through the cave and eventually came to an area where there was allot of room. Then she saw an opening.
"God, finally the exit."
"Raven!" She heard someone call out.
She turned and saw Robin coming through one of the paths.
"Raven glad you made it."
She was about to greet him when they both heard something.
"Hey." They both looked down one of the other paths to see S.O.L. coming from out of the darkness.
As she walked up to them: "Good to see you again, I trust you weren't too scared?"
"Nah we enjoy seeing our worst nightmare." Said Robin sarcastically.
Suddenly they heard a loud yell from down the other path. "HELP!"
"Sounded like Ilmatar." Said Raven. They looked down the path, and saw Ilmatar running like she was being chased by a demon. She ran right into Raven knocking them both to the ground.
"Ilmatar, what's the matter?" Asked S.O.L.
"Creatures! Big green creatures, with 6 legs and giant fangs!"
"Would you cool it nothing lives in this cave."
"Listen!" Said Robin. They hear a noise that sounds like a bunch of legs crawling. They looked down the path and saw a greenish-yellowish creature with 6 legs and a hunched back and giant fangs in front.
"Antlions!" Screamed S.O.L. "Run!"
They all ran (Raven more floated) out and through a wooded area. They could hear the little buggers gaining on them. S.O.L. put her staff over her shoulder and fired 3 red streaks knocking out 3 of the bugs. But there must have been at least 20 of them so they kept running. Suddenly they came to a giant opening too long to go around.
"Robin!" Ordered S.O.L. "Find a way for us to get across."
Robin looked around suddenly he had an idea. He pulled out a mini detonator and threw a blinking disk at the base of a tree. He then press the mini detonator and the disk blew up and the tree fell down toward the opening and fell just enough so that they could get across. They proceeded to do so. Once across S.O.L. Fired a red streak at the tree's center causing it to break in half.
Just then the Antlions arrived the other edge of the opening. They looked into the opening. Then at our heroes. Then their back's arched up and wings sprouted out of their backs.
"Crap." Muttered S.O.L. as the Antlions sprang over the opening and landed all around them. Immediately they attacked.
Ilmatar pulled out her saber and activated both sides. Her plunged it into one that was jumping toward her and sliced off the legs of another that was crawling toward her.
S.O.L. had been jumped by one and only her staff was keeping it fangs from her face. She reared up her legs and kicked it off her and it stumbled backwards and fell into the opening. She raised her staff and took out three more.
Robin had pulled out his bow staff and thrust it upwards toward one that had jumped him and then thrust it down into one that was next to him. But he didn't notice one running toward him and it jumped him. He turned but it was to late the creature had dug it's fang deep into his leg.
One had knocked down Raven. But she stood up "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she cried and a black aura surrounded each on of the creatures and they were flung into the opening.
"Uhh." Moaned Robin as he held his leg. Everyone came around to him. S.O.L. bent down next to him.
"Did the one that bit you have a red stripped back?"
"I don't know."
S.O.L. Looked at the wound. "I'm not going to lie to you this is going to hurt." She wielded around her staff. She brought the sharp end down on his leg and started to cut his leg open. Robin winced in pain. She stuck her hand in his leg and pulled out a fang.
"Raven do your thing." She said as she walked away.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Day 15 7:00 P.M.
Our heroes had been walking for 7 days. Not much had happened, dead bodies abandoned cities, your typical nightmare island.
As they just reached the top of a hill Raven asked:
"Where are we going to camp?"
S.O.L. didn't answer but kept climbing. When they got to the top the looked down and saw a city, not as big as Twisted Bend but it had a huge building on the edge of town.
"Ville des histories." Was all S.O.L. said then started down the hill toward the city.
They just stood there.
"City of Stories?" Asked Ilmatar.
They descended into the city and walked to the giant building on the edge of town. When they reached it, it looked like a fortress. It had all it's window boarded up and there were booby traps all over the place.
S.O.L. walked up to the giant doors. She pointed her staff at it and a small red beam shot out and hit the doors and they swung open. Everyone walked in.
"I welcome you to the hall of knowledge."
They looked around. In the room there were lots of shelves with drawers. In the center was a huge table.
"Pardon me for asking, but doesn't knowledge mean books?" Asked Raven
"Books are only for only royalty." She looked around. "Here hand me one of those rings."
Raven bent down and picked up a ring. It was gold. It was to big to be a ring you wear on your finger, but to small to be worn on your wrist. She gave it to S.O.L. She put it on the giant table and spun it. Suddenly an I mage came out of the ring, it was of a simple man who looked excited.
"My name is Karel, today I finally have a home, I built it off the Avengailcan coast." He was cut short, when the ring stopped spinning.
"This is how we acquired our knowledge." Said S.O.L
"Interesting." Said Robin.
"So you all seem tired, so find a spot and feel free to fall asleep."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Day 16 3:00 A.M.
Robin woke up, he heard a voice coming from the other room where the giant table. He slowly crept over there. He saw S.O.L. Hunched over the table. He heard an image talking.
"Today I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, she has the eyes of a queen. I will name her Mineva."
This puzzled Robin he would ask S.O.L about it tomorrow.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Day 16 1:00 P.M.
Our friends were walking up another mountain when Robin came up to S.O.L.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
"Do you know, anyone by the name of Mineva?"
"Ahh couldn't sleep last night could you?"
"To be honest, no couldn't."
"Well for the record my birth name is Mineva."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Suddenly a giant gust of wind blew, against all of them.
"We are getting close." Said S.O.L. "Close to the tree."
