(;-/ Then the next day while they were flying something smelled horrible below them layer 100 s of nibblers. They went further on then they set camp further up ahead. Past Gregor and Luxa went back to see if any of them were alive. When they came back they held a nibbler alive when Howard got the mouse fixed up. It's name was Cevian Gregor said Luxa had taken some vow, to the dead nibblers. Not the vow to the dead said Howard. Yes Howard I did. What did she do asked past Gregor. I have just declared war on the rats. Why would you do that Luxa said past Gregor angrily. Well tell me better idea she said don't you see all those dead bodies back there. Well you shouldn't have just declared war. Well why don't you just come up with a idea that dazzles us all. I will then they went to sleep he didn't take the next shift with her that night. I'm going to think of a idea he thought. But in the morning he didn't have one. Now they were doubling up on each bat past Gregor was with Luxa and Hazard. Future Gregor was on his own bat. Then while past Gregor was on Auroua Luxa did not talk to him at all she did word games with Hazard and then finally told the story of red riding hood. But in her tale there was a rat and disguised as her grandma then they went through oh what big eyes you have then in the end the grandma escaped and killed the rat the moral of the story never trust a rat. What about good rats asked Hazard like Ripred. Yes your highness what about them. It would take many years and acts of trust to for me to call a rat my friend. I know a couple rats I would call my friend he said. But would they call you there friends. Then when Hazard had started snoring he heard Luxa say you still mad at me for declaring war. Yes I just don't think it was at the right time that you did it. Well at least I could Ripred around as a pet. I bet he love that. Yeh I could teach him tricks to I had a pet lamb and could jump through a hoop. I'm sure he would be all in for that. I would dress him in bows. Then she started shaking with laughter she leaned against his backpack shaking still from laughter. Then she settled down and didn't get off he could feel her hair on his shoulder. He smiled a little he liked these kinds of moments him and Luxa had when they weren't angery at each other or mad and fighting. He just kept as still as he could so she would stay there as long as possible. While future looked over he smiled he liked those moments but it made him sad when he might not ever see his time again or Luxa again. But then he realized something never give up hope.
Then when they got in the firelands her head was still on his shoulder. Then he said Luxa wake up. What is it Gregor she said not moving from his shoulder. Future Gregor we are about to see the bane get ready. Then she got her head off his shoulder and said how far away are we from the bane. Were here he said then they got off there bats and looked at the bane. Then he gave a speech that terrified them all to the bones. Then Cevian woke up and started yelling. Everyone get on their bat now said future Gregor and to cave on the left he said. When they went down the cave the rats started laughing. Whatever is in here must want us as dead as the rats said past Gregor. Yes they do said future Gregor when they got in there Howard was the first to call Stingers. Then future Ares said you ready yep let's do this and future Gregor jumped off his bat landed and made crawler language to the scorpion. Then since future Gregor had got in the cave later Thaila was in the scorpions pinchers. While he was talking in crawler the scorpion put down Thaila. Thank you he said in crawler and walked back to true others and said. The stingers don't like the rats either and we're allowed to stay as long as we want. How do you know how to speak crawler said Luxa. I know a lot of different languages said future Gregor besides crawler. Who did you learn it from said Hazard in a excited voice. The best in language interpreter in the underland you. Wait a second said Luxa you means you learned your language from him. Yep said Gregor I did. Well tell them we mean to form a allies with them from day forward. They say they call you their allies to and they know a way we can go out that the rats don't know about. But they assure you to stay the night to rest they also had a sort of picnic with fish and cake. Boots kept on insisting on feeding the little baby scorpion when the finally the scorpions said yes. But the little scorpions couldn't really eat the food Boots gave them because they needed the food in goo form. So they mostly ate that but he could tell she was making a good impression on the scorpions. The scorpions insisted on taking the watch but he said he didn't mind. Which he actually didn't mind taking watch. While he was taking his watch he heard some rustling behind him and Luxa got up and sat beside him. Hey there so did you actually learn those languages Hazard I was wondering if you were joking or not. No I wasn't I learned them from Hazard he's very smart in the future in languages I also learn a lot of gymnastic tricks from you in the future. Am I good in the future. Yeh said Gregor you can you can hit 15 blood balls and are Regalia's best warrior. She blushed just like she did in the future an said really yep he said your Regalia's best warrior. Do you train me she said of course I do but you learn really quick and you teach me that gymnastics stuff. That's cool well I'm going to go back to bed you going to sleep. Nah that's fine I don't need much sleep but you do because you have a big day tomorrow. Ok she said see you tomorrow morning then she fell asleep. When it was time to go in the morning Luxa woke up to future Gregor thanking the scorpions for there help. While they were flying out you could smell that they were going in the firelands. Then they were on the floor looking around he heard Luxa ask what's this made out of obsidian said past Gregor. Then Boots was sliding on the floor and she fell off the other side ow. Ow but this one sounded out of genuine concern for something else. Future Gregor was already running and jumped off the other side and he was carrying someone out of the hole and it was Ripred on his back. When he put him down future Ares brought Boots up on the obsidian. Luxa was then swinging his sword and broke his right tooth then future Gregor finished the left one off. They made some fish mash for Ripred then he fed him it when he was done Ripred started talking. Well what's brings you to the firelands your highness. Well we went to a picnic and got trapped at the swag. Now tell me what really happened your highness I have never lied to you. Well we went to look for evidence on what happened to the nibblers because one of them sent my crown. You mean the ones my wonderful little bane who is messing with the nibblers. He said he was bringing them to place of no return said Luxa. Do you know what he means by a place to no return said Ripred. He just means that there probably going to move them to the uncharted lands. But if he pushes them to the uncharted lands they can just simply retrace there steps no there only one place of no return. Death said past Gregor quietly. Then we got to go save them said Luxa. Well we can take the air currents that will lead to where they are taking the nibblers. Then they were flying down the air currents it was so hard for past Gregor to fly through them untilRipred said relax and then it was like he was flying everywhere so easy. When he turned around he thought he was doing good there was Boots on Luxa and Luxa was switching currents. But the person who had all of there mouths on the ground was future Gregor on Ares and they were doing spins and were ahead of everyone. This wasn't the same for the other bats they were going to stop in a cave to Ripred was bring in the bats when they said past Ares was the last one to go they asked if past Gregor needed help but he said no. Future Gregor helped him anyways past Gregor helped Ares by talking to him then. Then they pulled in for a landing, it was nice and quick after that they found some rats leading nibblers to there death but they didn't know that. They figured out the rats where leading them to their death. But they could do nothing but watch because the chamber were filled with poison that you couldn't see. But one thing still remained questioned who where the real killers.
Sorry I took so long have had my grandpa in town hope you enjoy the chapter!
