Chapter 16- I Don't Get Why I Wrote This Short of a Chapter
Nanya rubbed her forehead. Stupid Ozorne. She looked into the corner where there were clean breeches and a clean shirt on a stool next to some food.
"God, I must be hungry if I'm actually eating this," muttered Nanya as she choked down the stale bread. Stale bread- not yummy.
She finished the food hungrily then changed into the other clothes.
"Okay. I've eaten and changed, now I need to get in contact with Naku," she grumbled.
Naku, Naku? She called in mind speech.
Nanya, where are you? He asked. He actually sounded worried.
A dungeon under the palace, where are you? She replied.
On a boat headed back to Tortall. Nanya they think that you breached the peace accords by trying to start a slave rebellion! Rocky's pissed and so is the stork-man!
Talk to them for me, Nak. Tell them I'm okay. Tell them- tell them that Ozorne is going to pay. I just don't know how yet.
She heard Naku silently laugh.
I'll tell them, but you're not getting revenge without me! He put Blaze back in the menagerie, I liked Blaze!
Nanya grinned at her friend's indignation but felt anger at the fact that Blaze was once again imprisioned.
He'll pay Naku. He'll pay, that's all I know.
She cut off the lines of contact and sat in thought. How would she get her reveng?
Naku felt Nanya close off contact, so he woke from his fake nap. The stork-man was pacing, a frown creating deep creases in his forehead. Rocky was growling painful ways for Ozorne to die under her breath and Gary was trying to calm her down to no avail. The other members of the delegation were no where to be seen.
Naku yawned.
"That was refreshing," he said, "not to mention educational."
The three two-leggers looked up, surprised. They hadn't realized he was awake. Naku grinned. Two-leggers.
"Nanya's safe in a dungeon under the palace. she's gonna make Ozorne pay and I'm gonna go help her. I said it to her, and I'll say it to you. I like Blaze! Then Ozorne went and imprisoned him and my bonded partner! The dolt."
"I'm coming with you!" Naku should've known Naki would be there. He was always with Rocky, now that Nanya was kidnapped.
"Us to!" Dirk and Dante were in the doorway.
"And how, pray tell, are you going to do that? At least I can turn into a hawk," said Numair, "I'm also coming."
Naku weighed Dirk and Dante with his eyes.
"I can carry them.. they may be big, but Flame's are strong. Naki, stay with Rocky. If something bad happens, I'll have to send a mind message to you."
Naki's face tightened for a second, but then he gave a tight nod. It would be the best Naku would get from his kid brother.
"Revenges," growled Dante with a grin, "they always have been our specialties."
Gary raised an eyebrow.
"Nanya was the brains, Dirk was the bargainer and I was the enforcer," he explained, "we've been doing this for year. we'll figure out what Ozorne deserves and give it to him."
"What Ozorne deserves," said Dirk, "is a place in his own dungeon. Although there are several other options if we can't achieve that one."
"We'll plan revenge later, for right now we fly," stated Naku. Numair took hawk shape and Dirk and Dante climbed onto Naku's back. "I'll make us invisible."
Rocky watched nervously as a black hawk took flight beside a white glimmer of light. Gary hugged her around the shoulders and kissed her cheek. It was understandable for her to be afraid. Her best friend was in the custody of a mad-man. If that wasn't terrifying, Gary didn't know what was.
Like the title says, I don't get why I wrote this short of a chapter. I'm getting lazy I guess. I always do at the end of stories. I'll try and overcome it. By the way, I've already started on the sequel and have a page written. I'll update as soon as possible.
