Rampage
Zeal stepped out of the amass of metal with a renewed vigor plastered across his smug snout. The yellow substance within the containers was obviously the cause for his noticable boost in ego. Peregrine braced himself for the worst as Zeal stalked towards him, fighting fit. His sickle claws clicked on the ground with anticipation, and his body swayed with a menacing predatory fashion.
"With this stuff," Zeal gestured to the containers around him, "I will prove to you that I am the superior brother. With such a huge amount of this substance, I'm unbeatable." Zeal stopped short a few feet of Peregrine. "What do you say to that, brother?"
"Well..." Peregrine mentally weighed his options. "I can take him on with his renewed strength...and probably lose. Or I can try eating that wierd stuff, and hopefully not lose my mind in the process...decisions, decisions."
"WELL? What do have to say, Peregrine!" Zeal demanded. His claws clenched in angst, scraping inch deep marks into the metallic floor.
"I say, if you can't beat them," Peregrine hopped backwards into the pile of containers, causing more of them to crash to floor from their stacked positions. He disappeared from sight behind the cascade of metal boxes. "then join them."
"What?" Zeal made a sort of rolling growl noises in his confusion. He began to pull away the containers that hid Peregrine, throwing them carelessly around in pursuit of his brother's hiding spot. At this point, his blind fury towards Peregrine's antics blocked any sense he could have used to keep track of the raptor.
"You need some help with that?" Peregrine sauntered up behind Zeal. He watched his brother toss the containers in a panicked frenzy.
"No! I'll find him my..." Zeal paused. He slowly craned his neck to gaze over his left shoulder. His mouth twitched into a horrific snarl. There was Peregrine, standing behind him and licking his claws and chops. "You...how did you move-"
"You know, rage blinds you of your senses and surroundings. Trust me, I would know." Peregrine finished licking his claws. His speech was unusually rapid. "Wow, you know, this yellow stuff isn't that half bad. It kicks you full of energy. Probably shouldn't have eaten the whole container though." Peregrine continued his fast paced talking.
"You...ate...how...much?" Zeal tilted his head with each word. He wasn't sure if he should be further enraged at Peregrine, or astounded that he could eat that much raw energy without dying.
"The whole container. Figured it's probably the only way to stay level with you, and not tire out." Peregrine made wierd gestures with his claws as he spoke. "For the most part I think it worked cause I'm full of energy, though I think a side effect of it is this fast talking, but who knows. I feel a little over cheery too! HAHA!" The hyped raptor continued to rapidly rant on. "I guess it's better than going mad like you did, though." Peregrine was speaking so fast Zeal barely comprehended what the raptor was saying, but he did catch the insult. Peregrine sidestepped Zeal's tackle dive, letting him crash into the containers behind him. Peregrine chirped in delightful speedy laughter. "Going to have to be faster than that, brother. I think the yellow stuff may have given me a little speed boost! WHOO!" Peregrine's body shook violent with energy, causing him to twitch at random.
"I'll kill you." Zeal, brandishing his claws, leapt at Peregrine from the containers using Perfect Timing.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Peregrine sidestepped Zeal a second time, but instead of letting him crash Peregrine grabbed hold of his tail as he passed. "Got your tail!" With speed he normally didn't possess, Peregrine tossed Zeal from the room back into the hallway. "And all that was done without Air Rushing!" Peregrine bragged. Zeal recovered easily enough from the throw, landing on his feet and sliding a few yards, but mentally he was quite shaken.
"No...no one..." Zeal said shallowly. "...no one should be faster than me...not when I use Perfect Timing." And he knew Peregrine was right. He hadn't used Air Rushing to dodge his leap. He simply had just been faster than Zeal. Then, a horrifying realization crossed Zeal's mind; he might actually lose if Peregrine stayed like this.
"Is that fear I see written across that once proud snout of yours?" Peregrine narrowed his gaze. "Unbelievable, little brother, I didn't think you'd get shaken up from being tossed a few yards." Peregrine shook his head.
"Silence!" Zeal demanded, but his retort was weak.
"No." Peregrine snapped back. His tone had become threatening. "I think it's time I finally knocked you out of your Rampage. Brace yourself little brother." Zeal barely had time to throw up his arms to block Peregrine's head on kick. He almost had not seen it coming. Zeal pushed Peregrine off, and then took a few steps back himself. "Here I come!" Peregrine announced, which was probably the only reason Zeal was able to duck under his second kick. He retreated further back down the hall. "If all you're going to do is avoid me, then I suggest you use Perfect Timing to at least keep up with me." Peregrine dashed at Zeal, who was forced to use his Perfect Timing technique to block and evade the relentless onslaught of attacks thrown at him.
"This isn't right! I'm losing! And just because he's gotten a little faster all of a sudden." Zeal kept backing down the hall with all his focus trying to remain on Peregrine as much as possible, though the scattered objects among the hall made it extremely difficult. The smallest slip from Zeal would leave Peregrine open to exploit it, sealing his victory for the battle. "Even with this speed it seems like he's holding back...but why?"
"Looks like you're loosing steam!" Peregrine swung his tail. Zeal countered his with his own. Their tail's smashed together, leaving them locked in a battle of strength. "That technique has to be draining your energy something terrible if you're hardly keeping up with me. If this continues, you won't even be able to sustain you're Rampage." Peregrine chuckled through gritted teeth.
Zeal realized then exactly what Peregrine was up to. "You're trying to stall me out!" He hissed, rolling his tounge menacingly. Peregrine flashed Zeal a devious grin before taking a step back and letting his tail be overpowered by his brother's. The manuever caused Zeal to push his tail too far forward and lose balance. He stumbled toward Peregrine, tail first.
Peregrine jumped behind a rolling chair a few yards back. "You look tired. Maybe you should rest. Here, have a seat." Peregrine kicked the rolling chair right into Zeal's tail end. The younger predator was forced to sit awkwardly as the chair sped him directly back into the confines of the cargo hold. The wheels of the chair were caught up by a box. The chair came to an abrupt halt, flinging Zeal out of it. The quick-footed bird of prey managed to catch himself on all fours before he hit the ground. From behind him, Zeal could hear the steady tapping of a raptor's killing claw hitting metal, approaching him. "Are you ready to give up?"
"You're out of your mind." Zeal breathed heavily through his nostrils. He turned to face a composed, easy breathing Peregrine.
"You're one to talk." Peregrine laughed hysterically. Zeal couldn't keep pace with the elder raptor much longer, and trying to get past Peregrine to reach the room filled with containers was out of the question. It was a straight stretch back down the hall, meaning Peregrine would catch him no problem in his current condition. Zeal was out of options. He only had one left.
Zeal's eyes darted between the hallway entrance and back to Peregrine. The elder raptor noticed the movement and prepared to block his younger brother's advance. However, before he could make a move, Zeal disappeared in a blur. Peregrine turned to see if Zeal had somehow gotten past him and to the hall, but nothing pointed to that he even attempted such a feat. In fact, his scent seemed to trail in the opposite direction.
"That crafty fawltreheol tricked me!" Peregrine vocalized a stunned bark. "He's running for the entrance I came through!"

"So that's your reason for holding me? To talk to dinosaurs?"
"Yep."
"That's stupid." Grant stifled chuckles.
"Well as soon as Alice gets here you'll be more inclined to agree." Mills paced impatiently.
"What makes you think that I'd go along with such a ridiculous idea." Grant laughed.
"We have you on tape communicating with them in the museum." A frustrated looking brunette woman with an InGen lab coat walked into the room. She had a metallic square tucked under her arm.
"What?" Grant froze in place.
"You heard me. We have you communicating with the damn things on tape." The woman repeated. "What? Did you think cameras were cut from the budget when this place was built!"
"Alright, I get it. Geez what's your problem?" Grant raised his hand in defeat.
"My problem? MY PROBLEM!" The woman stormed towards Grant and jabbed her finger into his chest. "My problem is that one of your 'friends' attacked me in cold blood!" She pointed to the bloody tear in the midsection of her blue shirt. "So you would be wise to cooperate with this so-called 'ridiculous idea', or we could-!"
"Okay, I think you made your point, Dr. Alice." Mills pulled the woman away from Grant before things got carried away. She stood off in the opposite corner of the room, festering in quiet fury.
"This is your brightest InGen scientist?" Grant questioned.
"Yes, I am." Dr. Alice snapped. "Here's proof." She threw the metallic square in her arms with full force at Dr. Grant. With intentional accuracy, it crashed rather hard into Grant's stomach, causing him to exhale air.
"Be careful with that, Alice! We only have a few of those things, and they don't come cheap." Mills scolded.
"Those devices could take a C4 explosion before they broke." Dr. Alice scoffed. "Besides, he deserved it."
"What is this thing." Grant was surveying the small electronic device. He discovered it had a lid, and when lifted, a small screen lay inside the square box. Three knobs lined the left side. From top to bottom they were red, green, and blue. On the right side appeared to be a built in speaker.
"It's a dinosaur to human translator, and vice versa." Dr. Alice answered bitterly. "And before you make a smartass comment, yes, it's real, and yes it works."
"You see Dr. Grant, I originally held you here was because I believed you could possibly talk these creatures off the ship, and then you could help us move forward with our campaign to retrieve the rest of the lysine off the island. But now that Dr. Alice has informed me you actually do know how to sway and communicate with the dinosaurs, then you really have no choice but to help now. Especially with those tapes as evidence against you for tampering with the park security."
"You know I had nothing to do with that!" Grant protested.
"Yeah, but who would believe you when the tapes clearly show you 'leading' the raptors to attack." Mills made air quotes around the word 'leading'.
"I really hate you guys right now." Grant grinded his teeth.
"Yeah, well I'm not too fond of you either at the moment, so shut up and pay attention." Dr. Alice walked over to Grant. "Red knob is power and range. Turn it clockwise for up to 70 feet of range. Green knob is dinosaur to human, and blue knob is human to dinosaur, though this setting is limited since we don't know how to translate certain words from the human language." She said turning each knob to demonstrate. "If you want to hold a conversation without switching the green and blue knobs on and off, then just leave them both on. But it'll suck up more power. Got it?"
"Uh, sure." Grant was never good with technology, but at least it was only three knobs.
"The device works off the concept that intentions and reasoning through communication can be determined through shifting sound platforms of a base line established by a set group or sect of individuals and/or person." Grant gazed dumbfounded at what Dr. Alice's explanation of the machine. Dr. Alice tried to break her explanation down further. "In other words, despite a language barrier, all communication is essentially the same and can be read and understood through common feelings, emotions, and thoughts shared by all creatures."
"..."
"Uugh! Nevermind." Dr. Alice sighed in exasperation.
"What if I want it to speak spanish?" Grant chuckled.
"It'll respond in whatever the last human language was spoken into it. Also, anything spoken into it will show up as text on the screen in the written language. There's a headphone jack as well so it won't speak out loud when you need to remain quiet."
"Oh."
"It has a 24 hour battery life, reduced to 10 when both knobs are in use. It charges by sunlight, so it actually has a longer life span if used outside. Got that?" Grant just nodded. "Any more comical questions?" Dr. Alice placed her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow.
"No."
"Good." There was an awkward silence for a few seconds. Mills took the liberty to break it.
"Now that you know how to use it, test it out."
"This is stupid." Grant sighed, but complied nonetheless. He turned on the device and set it to human to dinosaur. "Do I really have to do this?"
"Yes. Speak into the speaker." Dr. Alice pointed. "Say anything."
"Fine. Let's see...how about the word 'human'."
"Primecal." The device said loud and clear, but the response sounded like a mix of a human speech with hissing and growling.
"Dinosaur." Grant spoke.
"Deinosaurilied." Again, the same hissy growl sound.
"It's suppose to sound like that." Dr. Alice commented upon noticing Grant's puzzled face. "It makes it sound less human and more reptilian. Change the setting to dinosaur to human so you can hear what the human response sounds like." Dr. Alice instructed. Grant did as he was told. "Now tell me, what word have you always wanted to know how to able to speak as a dinosaur."
That was an easy one for Grant. "Velociraptor."
"Fawltreheol." Dr. Alice spoke aloud.
"Velociraptor." The machine responded in clear English.
"Treheol." Dr. Alice spoke again.
"Raptor."
"How did you know those would be words?" Grant inquired.
"I was one of the scientist to figure out that the dinosaurs had a language. I studied the velociraptors mostly. They seemed to use the word fawltreheol to describe themselves, and then cut the word in half to describe other raptors. It was extremely hard to even understand what syllables were in the words, and what they were referring to." Dr. Alice explained. "But I eventually figured out some of it."
"Enough chit-chat. Are you going to help us willingly or not?" Mills butted in. Grant looked between Mills and Dr. Alice.
"Do I really have a choice?" Grant asked.
"No." Mills and Alice answered simultaneously.
"I though so." Grant sighed.

"I won't let you escape." Peregrine called after Zeal with sardonic laughter. He duck under a conveyor belt sliding across the icy floor. "Not when I'm so close to getting my brother back!" The bird of prey swerved around two unaware workers as he tried to maintain his balance while sliding. The freezer room's floor allowed for no grip, so Peregrine used his claws as his stabilizers to steer himself to a small degree.
Zeal was within the older raptor's sight, pouncing from the platforms above to reach the entrance Peregrine had originally used. The Freezer's workers were beginning to realize there were dinosaurs in their presence as chunks of falling ice struck them from above. Zeal's landings, as poised as they may be, created a enough shock to loosen the already precarious ice, drawing attention to him and his brother.
"Running is only prolonging the inevitable, little brother." Peregrine hopped onto a box a man was carrying, and used it to spring-board to the platforms 10 feet above him. Upon landing Peregrine looked back to see the man fall over loosing his balance. "Whoops." Peregrine laughed rather loudly, making his high-pitched chirps echo throughout the freezer. Every human turned in his direction, as well as, causing Zeal to glance back and realize just how close Peregrine was. The yellow substance seemed to be causing him lapses in good judgement.
"Acursed fawltreheol! Be gone! I want nothing to do with you!" Zeal continued to shoot for the far exit. He was almost there. He could see it.
"Now that's not what you said when we began this bought." Peregrine leapt after Zeal on the platforms. "I thought I was an opponent to test your superior skill. What happened to that? Huh, huh, huh?"
"Keep your snout shut!" Zeal barked over his shoulder. The raptor's unwitty retort tore his focus long enough to cause him to slip on his next landing. Falling to his side, Zeal slid over and off the edge of the platform to the floor below. "ARRGGHHH!" Zeal roared out in aggravation, picking himself up. His hide began to falter in wavers of red and brown, but stabilized to red after a few seconds.
"That looked like it hurt." Peregrine peered down on the younger raptor from the platform above. "Why don't you let me make it better!" He said before jumping down. Zeal rolled out of the way to avoid being stomped on by Peregrine's heavy landing. The metal at the raptor's feet creaked in agony as a two foot crater formed beneath Peregrine. "Your Rampage is waning. Won't be long now until you have to give up." Peregrine ran the sentences together with his speedy chatter.
"Never!" Zeal kicked his sickle claws at his brother. Peregrine, with extreme ease, dodged the attacks by jumping back slightly. He eventually ended up bumping into a wall. He was forced to side-step each attack, until Zeal decided to jump kick him. Peregrine ducked to avoid the kick, and watched as Zeal kick flipped off the wall.
"Is that really your best effort?" Peregrine burst into a giggle fit. He really was beginning to lose it.
"Ahem!" Zeal grabbed Peregrine's attention with a cough. The younger treheol was pointing to the wall behind Peregrine, which was actually a wall of wooden crates that were currently wobbling over.
Before Peregrine couldn't even take a step to dash away, the entire 12 foot wall fell on top of him. The rolling thunder of the crates mimicked the sound of the thrashing storm outside. With Peregrine immobilized by the weight of an uncountable number of crates, the grinning Ramage Zeal took his opportunity to search for an alternate route to get away. Tapping his claw on the ground and performing an echo hunting technique revealed an exit on same floor he was on; just below the original one.
"You slick son of a fenrail!" Peregrine growled from beneath the mass of wood."Wait...she's my mother too...Oh, you just wait till I get out of here!" The crates began to shake. Not wasting any more time, Zeal sprinted away in cowardice. Peregrine, after a few seconds more, crashed through the top of the pile in time to witness Zeal sprinting through a door leading down hallway full of red lights. The bird of prey instantly gave chase.
When Peregrine caught up to his brother he found him jumping onto a ladder, and then jumping from the ladder to the next floor above them. Peregrine followed suit, scrambling over the edge to the floor. This hall, unlike the other, actually had people in it. They were all armed to the teeth with the electric guns. How Zeal got past them was beyond Peregrine, but he did notice that none of the men were facing him.
"Must have just missed him." Peregrine assumed. "Alright, let's get through this in one piece." The raptor disappeared from view. "Excuse me, pardon me, look out, coming through, hey! watch the tail." Peregrine announced as he occasionally bumped into someone at blistering speed. By the time he had reached the end of hall all the humans appeared confused and disoriented.
"It's the second raptor!" One of the men shouted. "Right there!" He pointed at Peregrine. "He must be following the first one."
"Shoot it!" Someone else shouted.
"And on that note, I take my leave." Peregrine jumped onto the ladder, and then to the floor above, avoiding the barrage of bolts below him.
Peregrine had finally reached the floor of the ship where he had originally entered; if the giant hole in the roof be indication to that. Ironically enough, Zeal was standing there with his back facing him. He hadn't bothered to escape yet, and he was only a few yards from the hole.
"Finally gave up?" Peregrine stalked towards the younger fawltreheol's back.
"Not quite." Zeal looked back at Peregrine and sent him a grim look. His rampage was heavily waning now. The constant waver of red to brown was clear to Peregrine, even though the hall was dim red from the surrounding lights.
"What do you mean not qu- Oh..." Peregrine peeked over Zeal to have the sight of a throng of armed humans greet his field of view. Peregrine moved to stand next to Zeal. "May I make a suggestion?" Peregrine twitched slightly from trying to stay still and calm as possible. The yellow substance had yet to have its effects leave from him.
"NO!" Zeal hissed in a harsh whisper.
"If you want to get out of this alive, I suggest you listen!" Peregrine hissed back.
"RRRGGGHH..." Zeal neither protested, nor agreed. Peregrine took his disgruntled growl as and agreement.
"Individually, neither one of us stands a chance, especially in your state, so I suggest that we work together by-"
"Slow down you imbecile, I barely understand what you're saying." Zeal cut off his brother. "And quit twitching so much." Zeal batted Peregrine in the side. "They're just looking for a reason to shoot us."
"Well, what I was trying to say before I was so rudely interrupted is-" Peregrine began.
"I wouldn't interrupt you if you actually spoke clear Saurilied." Zeal retorted.
"What are they doing, Sgt.?" One man asked his leader.
"I don't know. Looks like they're having a conversation or something." The Sgt. responded, his weapon held at the ready. He watched as the slightly larger raptor hissed aggressively at the smaller one. "And a heated on at that."
"What on earth are they saying to each other?"
"Does it look like I speak dinosaur?" The Sgt. snapped at the man.
"Maybe they're plotting." Another man suggested.
"Yeah right, I doubt they're that smart." The Sgt. dismissed the idea.
"3...2...1, flip!" Peregrine crouched as he allowed Zeal to flip onto his back, and use it as a spring-board. Zeal leapt over the throng of men, and descended to the ground behind them. All the men turned to confront the cunning bird of prey. While distracted, Peregrine charged into their ranks, knocking the men into an undignified heap.
"Heads up!" Zeal shouted. Peregrine took his position on top of the pile of men, and again let his back be used as a spring-board to boost his brother out of the hole he had originally fell through. Peregrine followed behind Zeal, using his double jump to make it to the ship's deck.
"Umm, Sgt." One of the men in the pile spoke. "About them not being that smart."
"WHAT!" The Sgt. yelled as he sat up.
"I beg to differ."
"RRRRGGGHHHH!"
'WHACK'
"OOOWW!"
"The weather out here is still storming." Peregrine shouted towards Zeal, or at least where Peregrine had expected Zeal to be. He wasn't in sight, and the rushing rain and winds made it near impossible for Peregrine to keep track of him by scent. "Zeal? ZEAL!"
"Cease your annoying banter, I'm right here." Zeal answered. He was breathing heavily in large huffs of air. His head hung low in exhaustion. His rampage seemed at its limit. His red hide had almost completely turned brown again. It didn't look like he could run away even if he tried.
"Zeal," Peregrine trotted against the wind to stand in front of his brother. "we make a pretty cool team. How about you take a rest out of your rampage, and I'll watch over while you recover."
"NO!" Zeal snapped at him, solidifying his rampaged form once more. "I need no rest! I need no help!"
"It didn't appear that way a few minutes ago." Peregrine waggled his finger. "I don't want to hurt you if I don't have to Zeal, and in your current condition it would be very easy."
"You would think so, wouldn't you." Zeal shifted his body into an attack crouch. Lightning flashed through the sky as the rain began to pour even harder.
"If this is what it takes to get my brother back, then I'll make sure to show you no mercy." Peregrine hopped back several yards, then dashed at Zeal with blistering velocity. Zeal swung his tail to meet Peregrine's head on.
Streaks of lightning flashed in branches across the sky. In the resounding echo of its wake boomed thunder, at the same time, Zeal and Peregrine's tails collided. Peregrine could see Zeal's exhaustion affecting the younger raptor. He took full advantage and completely overpowered him. Zeal tumbled backwards across the rain-soaked metal of the ships deck. He barely had the strength to stand, let alone fight.
"Stop this." Peregrine demanded. He moved towards Zeal with quick deliberate steps. "Stop fighting, NOW!"
"Never." Zeal pushed himself off the ground. His arms and legs shook violently in doing so. "I'd rather die, then let you win."
Peregrine grimaced at his words, and proceeded to swing his tail into the left side of Zeal's head. The raptor's demeanor had become one of a creature with an absolution. "You're not my real brother." The blow sent Zeal rolling across the deck into a metal container, leaving a decent size dent. His rampage, again, started to fade. "My brother would never throw away his life over something so stupid as an old sibling rivalry."
"Quit talking as if you know who I am." Zeal breathed. The thunder boomed overhead to emphasize his words. He rose to his feet with a struggle. Mustering all the strength he was able to, the quick footed fawltreheol disappeared from sight. He appeared at Peregrine's right flank, and delivered an onslaught of slashes. None of which hit their mark. Peregrine had blocked or dodged them all.
"I do know you." Peregrine kicked Zeal several times in the chest, causing him to slide away in agony. "As you should know me." Blinding lightning pierced the sky. Peregrine disappeared and reappeared at Zeal's side. "I am Peregrine Featherclaw!" Peregrine kicked and slashed Zeal's entire body with ridiculous speed, then swatted the beaten raptor into the ground. "And I am your elder Broxtie!" Peregrine roared out over the thunder's cry. He turned to walk away from Zeal. Zeal's body was barely the faintest glow of red, but Peregrine knew he couldn't even leave that to chance.
"You...say you're my brother...you act like you're all noble...and mighty." Zeal gasped for air on the verge of unconsciousness. He could taste the warm blood in his mouth. "But wait till...you are tested...by your morals and standards...we shall see how you fare then."
Peregrine turned to face Zeal. "This was my test." Peregrine chokes to struggle the words out. He jumps, then uses Air Rushing to jump higher. At the peak of his height he flips forward aiming his double jump kick directly at Zeal's head. Zeal's eyes grow wide as he realizes what's about to happen. He bellows one last defiant roar at Peregrine before his world goes pitch black. "And I passed with flying feathered colors."
Peregrine lifted his foot from his unmoving brother, saddened by the events that had to take place. Zeal, at last, had finally returned to his normal color; brown with black stripes. A frown adorned Peregrine's features, however. One velociraptor in Rampage was more than enough to throw an entire ship into chaos. Peregrine was afraid what kind of chaos both he and Zeal could intentionally cause together.
"All questions to be answered in due time, I guess." Peregrine sighed. "But for now..." The elder velociraptor picked up his unconscious sibling and placed him on his back length-wise. "My concern is getting you to safety." Peregrine remained in his Rampage mode, finding it easier to carry Zeal's weight. "Let's find a way off this ship and back to shore. An old friend of yours wants to have a word with us."
Me: Holy fudgemonkeys. It's been awhile. I really can't say alot at the moment for I am very pressed for time.
Peregrine: Sooooo, to sum things up, just send us a message or something and we will answer any question you have to the best of our ability.
Zeal: Like why in world you were gone for so long.
Me: Shut uuup.
Peregrine: And by the way; just so you know, the actiony crazy stuff hasn't quite ended yet.
Zeal: Yeah, we still have to- mfmfphmmhp...
Me: *ties Zeal snout shut* He he, still havn't learned how to shut up, have we.
Peregrine: Anyways, Thank you all for those who read this story. We appreciate all the reviews and anything you're willing to say that may be helpful constructive critique.
Me: I will not be able to say when another chapter will be posted, but If it's more than a week from now start hounding me about it as much as possible and i will see to it that it will be done.
Zeal and Peregrine: Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Thank you all!
