The drow said nothing and just looked down at Lidda. All of the sudden, Lidda started to open and close her eyes and then, finally came conscious and started moving around. She tried to talk but it only came out as a mumble. The drow finally started to talk, "She'll need some rest, she's just recovered from a very painful injury and near death." Eberk started awing at this beautiful being and had to be stopped by Kerwyn.
They all left and went back to the wagon.
"I may be able to fix it," said Tordek
"Oh really? How then?" Asked Eberk doubting that he could.
"If I just had a some extra wheels." said Tordek, "Ah ha! Here's some! Hey! Any one here just so happen to have a hammer?" Tordek yelled.
"Not me!" said Eberk, "I told ya you wouldn't be able to fix that hunk of junk Tordek, I told you!"
"But I will, e_berk!" Said Tordek.
"Oh really? How? Without a hammer, how?"
"With a hammer Eberk, I found one in the wagon."
"Oh, heh heh." said Eberk feeling pretty stupid.
Suddenly the drow appeared next to Eberk and scared the life out of him.
"Where did you come from?" asked Eberk. The drow laughed,
"I was that ant Eberk! That ant that you kept on brushing off your leg." answered the drow.
"Oh! Well next time, can you please try not to scare the hell out of me?"
"I'm sorry Eberk seriously."
"That's ok, so who are you anyway?"
"Mire,
I'm a good drow who likes to help people."
"Oh, so that's why you helped us," said Naull.
"Well, not exactly," said Mire, "I came because Merlo sent me when he figured that you must have gotten in trouble and he instructed me to accompany you for the rest of your journey."
"How'd he know that?" asked Redgar.
"Oh, hi Lidda! How are you feeling?" said the Mire avoiding the subject.
"How am I feeling? What happened? I feel just fine!"
"You got knocked out and badly injured by a short fused bomb that was in a chest, buried in the sand by the hobgoblins," answered Kerwyn.
"Hobgoblins?" asked Lidda
"Hobgoblins are goblins but only a little more organized," said Yoshimo.
"Well if that really happened to me, then why do I feel just fine? And who's that, being, over there?"
"That's Mire, a friendly drow, she healed you and brought you back to consciousness," said Eberk.
"Drow?" said Lidda.
"Ugh!" yelled Kerwyn, "Drows are beings that look like humans only they have blue skin and are much more civilized."
"Plus!" exclaimed Naull, "they can morph into any animal they want! Giving them any level of discreetness or power they want, in this case, a boar giving Mire here, enough power to finish off the hobgoblins."
"Oh! Ok!" said Lidda.
"Ok! All fixed!" yelled Tordek from under the wagon.
"Cool! Let's get out of here!" said Redgar.
Soon they were on their way to the temple again as the dark started creeping up on them. This time they were all looking out for any creatures that might try to attack them and delay the journey even more. Often lynx would try to jump on to the wagon and scavenge for food. Though the night was a relief from the heat, it was pretty scary and they couldn't get much sleep trying to keep lynx and other creatures from attacking them. Tordek had no way of knowing where they were so he hitched the wagon with a small but sturdy wedge of wood he had found in the sand so he could get some sleep.
The next morning, they awoke to find they had almost reached the temple so Tordek resumed driving immediately. Every one was just finishing breakfast when they reached the temple.
"Oh my god! Were here!" yelled Eberk.
"It's absolutely beautiful!" exclaimed Naull. Everyone started to jump out of the wagon and examine the temple for an entrance.
"You'd think there would be a big old door smack dab in the middle, given there's a big old staircase smack dab in the middle," said Redgar.
"Maybe there is!" yelled Naull from the bottom of the huge staircase that led to the temple.
"What do you mean 'Maybe there is', there is not a door in sight!" Tordek yelled back.
"Sure, not in sight but maybe it is there, but you can't see it,"
"Listen to her Tordek, she knows what she's talking about," said Mire
"What is this some magical adventure to find a treasure in a temple with no door? Oh wait… it is isn't it," said Eberk.
"Well duh!" exclaimed Lidda.
"Let me see this temple" Naull said, "are you guys blind? It says right here, in ancient Egyptian, but no matter, it says."
Use the spell of advance in time,
But use it wisely or it will go past prime,
Turn the time 'till ten past nine,
Make the night go away
And make the sun shine
"That must mean that I need to use my time advance spell to turn the time to 9:10 in the morning, every one back!"
Naull started to raise her quarterstaff and mumble something under her breath. The wind started to moan loudly and all of the sudden, the sky started to turn deep blue, and the clouds stared to move rapidly across the sky at an impossible speed. It was amazing for Lidda to see the sun fly across the sky through the rapidly moving clouds since she had never seen any magic being preformed at all.
