Chapter 9

Darren and Lita had managed to convince the rest of their group to join them in their newfound career. Mina and Serena were pleased to see that two mages had joined the party, it made them feel more secure. And the fact that Raye could sense evil gave the group an upper hand on Diamond.
"So, when do we leave?" Asked Lita. Unlike before, she was very anxious to get started. Not only would there be money and adventure, but four guys as well.
"Right away." Said the every perky Mina.

The group walked for miles, only the royals seemed to know where they were going.
"You know, that meatball head princess has been leading us in circles." Growled Raye.
"Meatball head?" Asked Amy, turning from the book she was reading, "Where did you ever get that name from?"
"Look at her dorky hair and tell me it doesn't look like two meatballs on top of her head." Smirked Raye. Amy looked and stifled a giggle. "See, told you so." Said Raye.
Lita was getting more and more anxious, she wanted to fight, not walk in circles avoiding one. "Hey guys, I'm going to go ahead and see what I can find, maybe I'll run into Mr. Psycho Nut." Lita turned and ran off into the woods.
"Maybe I should go too." Said Raye, who was also dying to see some kind of action.
Mina turned to Andrew, "Oh darling, would you care..." Andrew cut her off, "Yes, but with you there is no winning an argument, take my longbow and arrows and please be careful." Mina beamed, she took the bow and arrows and ran after the other girls.

Lita, Raye, and Mina had walked far ahead of the party, which had stopped to wait for them, but they still found nothing. Not even a hostile goblin or ill-tempered wolf. And the previously excited Mina was now very bored. "Let's go back, no one's following us."
"Oh, I wouldn't say that princess." The girls turned to see a man with yellow hair and red eyes looking at them. He looked the girls over head to toe, "Must be my luck day, three beautiful girls, all alone."
"Still doing your brother's dirty work Rubeus , funny, I figured he might promote you past bottom feeder." Said Mina, tartly.
"You always have something to say, don't you gorgeous?" Rubeus laughed.
"Shut your face asshole, or I'll shut it for you!" Yelled Lita. Rubeus smiled and fired dark energy at the girl. It struck Lita, sending her flying into a tree, "I'm afraid you'll never get the chance sweetheart." Sneered Rubeus.

Well, that's the end of that one. Rubeus is my favorite villain, so I had to add him. Well, that was an intentional cliffhanger, tell me how I did, review. -Fluff
