The Shadow of the Seeking
Part I Gorwlithe of Fading Flame
Chapter 5: The Lock Down
Flame Bristle, Glamor Glaze, Flame Hooves, Fire Shrew, Blaze Tip, and with Pale Fang leading, all went down the hall to Blaze Burn. Seeing the looks on her friends faces, Flame bristle wished she could have been that excited to see Blaze Burn. She had to go through anxiety while they were just having a good time. She also noticed that the fading in her paws had gone up a good ways past her ankles. That was scary. It had been what, ten minutes? She figured evil always happens fast, and put it out of her mind.
When they entered the chamber, Blaze Burn was already glancing out his window at the rain. "Sir" pale Fang said. He turned and smiled. "Didn't I just see you young Flame Bristle? Are you really that much of a trouble maker?" Flame Bristle began biting at a "flea" on her leg. Her nose felt hot. "Sir, she and her friends have led me to the rain. I would have had no clue without them. But we have a problem. Shall I awake the tower?" Blaze Burn's smile faded. "Yes, Yes that would be best. Looks like we shall have to move into the rain area..up the stairs. Leave the Espess here, I need to have a word with them." Pale fang went swiftly off to arouse the tower. "Young ones, the Yaly is concerned about your well being. This is the 4th year of the tower. That was prophesied to be the year the Espess will fall. And already Flame Bristle has taken a wrong turn. I'm counting on you to tell me anything unusual among the Espess, for I fear their lives. We might be able to save them. Now go on to your mother's. I'm sure they are worried sick. In fact, I shall escort you."
They went to the 2nd floor of the Tower. The first Floor was the chambers of all the inhabitants of the tower. The 2nd floor was never used except for meetings. There was a tower meeting every month. And the third floor was Blaze Burn's quarters, and the stone keep. More and More inhabitants were coming so Flame Bristle knew what was going to happen. They would build on another story. Anyway, the tower was gathered in the meeting circle positioned in the center of the room. Flame Bristle, like her friends, went to find her mom. She sat down next to her as Blaze Burn took his position at the podium. The crowd went silent. "We have called this emergency meeting today for a very serious reason, but first we shall deal with the Archie Update." Blaze Burn stepped down and Flame Foot stood up and walked to the podium. "The 3rd floor is off limits. It has been since forever. We had an Espess (he glared at Flame Bristle) go in there and...well...it's not important. The 3rd floor is off limits." He stepped down and Blaze Burn got up again. "Now the Yaly leader has a word." The Fire Yaly was lead by Forest Fire the Magmar. He stepped up and said, "A new rule has come up. No unknown Nursials may enter the tower. All those who agree, raise your paw." No one did. "Ok, never mind" and he stepped down. Blaze Burn the stepped up. "Now for the emergency. It is raining outside." There were a few murmurs and then the room fell silent. " As we have done before, the whole tower will be situated in the Lock Down area. No one is to leave, unless orders by the Yaly, Archies, or me. If we must evacuate the tower we will go from Espess up, excluding the tower leader, is that clear?" The fire poke`mon nodded. "Then let's go."
