THE FAERIES' RUIN…chapter 10

Setting: Xandra, after having fashioned a crude wand, blasts a hole through the barrier over the cave entrance. The prisoners run free.

Hanso: *leans over and nudges Brynn* Hehe, so I bet you're glad that I came along, aren't you? ;D

Xandra: You? It was my magic that got us out!

Hanso: Hey Brynn, do you hear something? It sounds like the annoying buzz of AN OVER-SIZED MOSQUITO THAT THINKS HER INPUT MATTERS.

Xandra: WHY YOU LITTLE—

Hanso: Ugly things, aren't they?

Brynn: Hanso, cut it out. We don't have time for this. Let's get out of here.

Hanso: Whatever you say, your highness.

(Scene changes to them climbing up a steep hill to escape)

Brynn: Hey, Hanso?

Hanso: Yeeeesss? :D

Brynn: How the heck did you manage to get into the cave without being caught, anyway?

Hanso: Oh, I have my ways…and by ways I mean hanging out with the right crowd, and by 'hanging out' I mean clinging to the back of a Shadow Conqueror like a Mynci. *thumbs up*

(They make it to the top of the hill! And freedom! YAAAAAY)

Brynn: You should've taken the book to King Altador! I can take care of myself—we should be more worried about Faerieland!

Hanso: Nag nag, bitch bitch, moan moan. :/

Brynn: But thanks for coming for us all the same~ *flirty smile*

Hanso: You f***ing tease…*mischievous grin*

Xandra: Yes, thanks Hanso. Now, what about the book? You still have it right?

Hanso: Look, Brynn. The mosquito learned to speak!

Xandra: *growls* HANSO GIVE ME THE BOOK I HAVEN'T READ A BOOK IN OVER THIRTY MINUTES I'M ABOUT TO DIE.

Hanso: All you had to do was say 'please'… *innocently hands her the book*

Xandra: *sniffs the book and sighs in ecstasy* OhFyorayesabook…*opens it*

Hanso: Mmm…reading. So exciting. :/

Brynn: *looks on with Xandra* That's the picture I saw before. It looks a bit like the artifact Hanso stole. Maybe the spell to reverse the curse on the faeries is in there?

Xandra: I don't see any spells…just this map.

Hanso: *peeks over their shoulders* Heeeey I know that place! :D

Xandra: Oh, of course you know those ruins. Our little Gary-Stu just wouldn't be complete unless he conveniently happened to know about the exact place we needed to go next.

Hanso: What more do I have to do to prove myself to you? Actually, why should I even care?

Xandra: Maybe because my input actually does matter?

Hanso: …pfft. Naaah.

Xandra: Pray tell, then, how do you know about these ruins?

Hanso: They used to be one of our lairs when I was in the Thieves' Guild. If you want to go there, I can take you.

Xandra: ...what's option two?

Hanso: Stumbling around in circles until you get caught by those things again. Your choice, bro.

Xandra: I'm not your 'bro'.

Hanso: Buzz buzz buzz, that's all I'm hearing.

Brynn: *sighs* We have to follow this lead. There might be something in those ruins we can use, Xandra.

Hanso: If it hasn't already been stolen by the thieves, of course. :D

Brynn: You really know how to help out the situation, Hanso. -_-

(Scene changes to them standing outside the decrepit and crumbling ruins. Ooh, spooky.)

Hanso: *looks at a gargoyle* Huh…it's a bit creepier than I remember.

Gargoyle: You pussy.

Hanso: NO U! :(

Gargoyle: No u.

Brynn: HANSO.

Hanso: Oh. Right. Um…ladies first?

Brynn and Xandra: Bitch plz. *shove him through the nearest door*
