I open my umbrella and shade myself as I gaze, for the fifth time that night, at the spot where our David, Marshall, and Fionna disappeared to the Kaiju Realm. I sigh and shake my head. The fool. I hear heavy footsteps behind me. I smile softly as the wind caresses my face. "…Hello C.A.K.E. darling….Mochro," I greet courteously without breaking my gaze across the smoking crater. I hear C.A.K.E.'s voice first. "….Sage….where's Fionna?" she asks gravely. I sigh. "C.A.K.E. ….you know I cannot answer that-" "Is she safe!" she demands, I hear tears in her voice. I close my eyes, and wait….gathering a blurry image of Fionna in my mind's eye….she's breathing…..and currently not in pain….at least not physical pain…..she still misses Marshall Lee.
"….She is….currently missing the boy…but otherwise…Unharmed." I say hesitantly. I hear C.A.K.E. sob in relief. Mochro stomps out comforting words. I tune them out solemnly. "F…Fionna is….Lucky….to have people who care about her, so much." I swallow as I hear C.A.K.E. cry silently. "I wish that….Some people that I've watched over….had someone like you…and Mochro…C.A.K.E.," I mutter softly. I finally walk over to her. I kneel down to her level. "With your love, C.A.K.E. may the Fates favor You and Fionna," I whisper with a hopeful smile. She looks up. I straighten. "I will go to the Kaiju Realm. But remember. I cannot interfere, nor be responsible for Fionna's fate…..are you willing to take this burden C.A.K.E.? I will not be able to help her out of any situation…" I look gravely towards her small face. "….Nor will You…."
Her expression hardens into something that I have not seen, in a very long time…Conviction. She grabs my hand. "Just bring her back," she whispers. I give her a genuine smile. "…Don't worry…I'll do you one better," I hold out one delicately manicured hand, and C.A.K.E. hesitantly grabs it. We teleport as my voice fades with the dying wind. "…I will bring you to her,"

Alex and I have been crawling forever in this damp, dark tunnel! "Aleeeex! How long have we been Craw-hawliiiing!" I ask in a whiny tone. Alex looks to her internal clock. "…..Ten and a half minutes," I groan in exasperation. "I don't wanna crawl anymooore! DARK ENCLOSED SPACES ARE FOR DISGUSTING DARKNESS KAIJU!" I snap like a three year old hatchling. She sighs. "Look…if we stop now, then we will be trapped in here and we will both die of lack of proper oxidation levels, in other words…Suck it up!" I groan again, and sigh. "Fine," We stop for a quick rest in a slightly roomier passage way.
She folds her legs into the lotus position and takes out a few dried beef strips. We split them, and each take out a bottle of water. It wasn't until I inhaled the wonderfully salty aroma, that I realized how famished I really was. My stomach growled. I bit into one. Alex was silent for a few moments as I bit and swallowed. Washing it down with the semi-sweet flavor of Kaiju water. "…So….Fionna….tell me about this, partner of yours you traveled with," she asked casually. I stopped in mid bite, and narrowed my eyes at her perfectly shaped, unchanging ones. I knew that tone of voice…that was her "Prodding for information that I know your hiding" voice.
"Why do you ask?" I asked slowly. She shrugged. "Just curious. You haven't spoken a word about them since we got here," I had to be careful about this. "Is that a problem?" "Not if you don't want it to be," "Look, he's not worth mention-" "He?" she asked slyly. Her delicate elfin lips lifted into a tiny smile. I wince and curse silently. So much for being careful. "Yes," I snap quietly. Her grin broadened, revealing straight white teeth. "….Is he cute?" "Moving on then," I said quickly, scooting ahead. She had to hurry to catch up. Good. Served her right for poking for information. "But what about our beef jerky?" she asked sickeningly sweetly. "Lost my appetite," I growled. She laughed silently. "You still haven't answered my question," "He's butt ugly," she laughed again. "I can tell you're Lyyyiiing," she said in a high sing songy voice. "Can it! Ya ball of aluminum foil," I sneered. She just laughed….a few minutes of silence.
"…..Can't wait to see this looker," "Alex!" I snap. "Okay, I'll stop," she giggled. I rolled my eyes. The sooner we get out of here, the better.

Ignitus hasn't said a word about where we were going for the past ten minutes….This is Bad….This is Really Really bad. I can practically here the 'Eminent Doom 'soundtrack from here! "Ignitus come on man! What did you just say about Diggers man?!" he stayed silent. We walked until we came across a clearing of rich, wet soil….and….nothing…else. I swallowed. Everything was deathly silent. Ignitus took a deep breath and hesitantly started to walk. I looked behind me, with the strangest feeling that I was being watched…..and walked. I wove around the eerie looking holes. As big as a barn is wide. Ignitus on the other hand, trudged through the muck without so much as an inch of stealth. Which was very different than the Ignitus I knew. He was always careful. "Ig's why aren't you-?" "No Point," he sniffed the air and growled. "…They already know we're here," I looked around warily. Wondering just 'Who was They?'….the ground rumbled once. I swallowed grimly.
'…And just How many stabs will kill It...or Them.' My hand itched to touch my axe, but I didn't draw it. A ripple to the east. As if a giant creature surged to break through, but decided against it. I listened intensely. The ground gurgled, the sound of something draining down a sink. A shudder. The sound of a tired groan. Ig drew his weapon a hair split second before I did. Something that simulated a Whale call. The rippling of the earth as the giant lump surged closer. It went under once more, but I know one thing for sure. It's heading straight for us. It's whale call was answered by another. The ground shook. "Brace Yourself!" snapped Ig. Right before the ground exploded right under our feet.
Not the end! I'm posting One More today! But ~Review~ Por Favour, :)
