As the small group worried about Tol's health, their friends were thrown into one
of Black's dark dungeons. With no windows, it was almost impossible to see anything
there, but a few silhouettes were visible.
"Great," complained Sarah. "While we sit here and rot my stupid brother is
probably doing something that's gonna get the others killed!"
Hearing this, Jimmy merely shuddered. He began to think back on life in the Cul
Da Sac. All the "pain and suffering" he'd felt there didn't seem so bad anymore. Tears
of shame began welling in his eyes as he thought of how pathetic he must have looked.
Sarah saw him crying and tried to cheer him up. "Don't worry, Jimmy. I'm sure
Randar will think of something."
For a moment, all was silence. Finally, Sarah's voice broke in again. "Anytime
you want to think of something, Randar, it'd be nice."
Again, there was nothing but silence. Randar knew they expected him to make
the plan because of all the time he'd spent in this land, but he'd never been in one of
Victor Black's dungeons and he had no idea of how to get out of one.
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded. "If wish to get out, I help you."
The group turned towards the sound to see a small figure walking to them. For a
moment, none of them could get a good look at him. After a moment, he spoke again.
"My name Kybus. I know when guard change. Get out then."
"Like that'll work." Came a bitter voice from behind him.
Two figures, only a little taller then Kybus walked up. Once his eyes adjusted
Eddy was the first to notice that they looked alike in every way. The only difference was
the expression on each face. While one looked sour and gloomy, the other's face was lit
with hope and joy.
Kybus stepped forward to introduce them. "They Gemini twins. Look alike but
different on inside. Must stay together or they die."
"If that weren't the case, I'd have killed off this cheerful idiot long ago."
Explained the gloomy one. "My name's Amor."
"And I'm Roma. Glad to know you all." Said the second in a voice almost
sickeningly sweet.
"I've only got one question," said Eddy. "If you know a way to escape, how
come you haven't already tried?"
"We aren't very skilled hand to hand fighters, but we'd be willing to try if it'll
help you." Exclaimed Roma.
The group got together to discuss this unusual trio. After a short argument, they
decided to trust the dwarf and twins.
"Here plan," began Kybus. "When guard change, I pick lock. We steal horses,
get weapons, and ride away."
"I sure hope we're ready for this." Whispered Jimmy. He knew, as they all did,
that this was the moment of truth.
