Hikuya: Hello, everybody! I'm back, and so is Leera!
Leera: waves Hullo!
Hikuya: Well, first things first, thanks to all of my WONDERFUL reviewers! You all get cookies! passes out cookies and here are my replies!
Pen D. Fox – Don't worry, my friend. There will be plenty of action, I promise. Just had to get the annoying descriptions out of the way, other wise you wouldn't even know what the main character looked like, and that is a rather bad thing.
Beth – Eh heh heh….I'll get to them eventually, I swear! Time constraints and such…I'm a very busy person, you know…
TatzelWurm – Thanks for the support! I like Leera a lot; she's a pretty cool character. And you shall have more of the story, once I'm done with the replies.
Kenderling – You are CORRECT, my fine feathered friend! Notice how Raist told her to not open any of the locked doors. She may be only PART kender, but she still has kender blood. It won't be long until she gets eaten, or drained of her soul, or some such other nasty thing. Or will she…?
Shade-the-wanderer – Thank you! I'm flattered. And I SHALL keep writing, even if it's only for my strange, twisted, amusement. Carry on, my good fellow! Person…
Disclaimer: What do YOU people think? I own NOOOOTHING! Capishe? Capishe.
Chapter TWO! Dun, dun DUN!
Leera looked around the nicely furnished room. A little fancy and dark for my tastes. She thought. She shrugged, deciding that since she was there, she might as well clean up and get some sleep. She hadn't slept well in weeks, being chased and all. This decided, she set about her tasks.
At another part of the tower, Dalamar was confronting his teacher.
"Shalafi, why in Nuitari's name did you let that girl in here! Who KNOWS what havoc she'll wreak? I rather like all of my items, and would like to keep them. Not have them lost to some part kender child!" He said in a venomous tone. Raistlin merely eyed him as he would a rather interesting bug.
"Calm yourself, apprentice. I realize that she is part kender, which is why I told her not to open any of the locked doors. What do you think she'll do? Open the doors, obviously. Before three days have passed, she'll be gone. Now go to your studies, I have other things to attend to." He finished, turning back to the papers on his desk. Dalamar bowed, and exited the room.
Well, three days did pass, but, unfortunately for the two mages, Leera wasn't dead yet. Some how, she had managed to keep her kender curiosity in check, and didn't go into any of the locked rooms. She had started at the very bottom of the tower, and was slowly working her way back up the stairs, examining each floor. Needless to say, she hadn't gotten very far yet.
"Let's see…now what's down this hall? One, two, three, four, five, five. Five doors on the right, none on the left, and one door at the very end." She rattled each door, but they were all locked. She stomped her foot angrily. "Every single bloody door I find is locked! How am I supposed to map this stupid tower if I can't get into half of it!" She yelled to no one in particular.
After her little tirade, she started muttering about stupid, black robed mages, who probably couldn't even cast a beginner's spell. Leera is also quiet good at one of the kender forms of attack, the Taunt, so she came up with some rather colorful insults. So, she packed up her notebook, and headed back for the staircase.
Somewhere in the sky…
Nuitari was bored. There was absolutely NOTHING going on anymore! The war was over, had been over for a year, and none of his mages were bothering to do anything but lay low. Not even his favorite, Raistlin, was bothering to do anything, though he was probably plotting something or another.
And since a bored god is a rather dangerous god, Nuitari decided to see what was going on at the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas. It was at this point in time that he came across a strange girl creature muttering insults about someone or another.
"Hmmm….." said Nuitari. 'It's time to have some fun. I've been cooped up here for far too long.' And with that final thought, Nuitari started messing with the world of mortals!
Raistlin was annoyed. That stupid girl had been in his tower for about a week, and still had yet to get eaten. What was wrong? He didn't understand. 'Maybe she has better self control than I originally thought.' He mused. This didn't help the fact that he had been having strange, also rather disturbing, dreams as of late. And he really, really didn't like them. And so, he spent the rest of the day musing about this and the strange girl and why she wasn't dead yet.
Leera was lost. She didn't know how it had happened, but it had happened. She had been trying to find the kitchen, and now she had no idea where she was. Not to mention the fact that she was really hungry. She flopped down, because her feet were sore, and started grumbling.
"Stupid wizards building their stupid towers so stupidly complicated!" and so on. Eventually she fell asleep, and it is at this point that Nuitari made his entrance. He looked down at the strange girl, and, carefully, lifted her with a magic spell. He had a job for her. Nuitari then vanished, taking the girl with him.
Dalamar was walking down the very same hall that Leera was sitting in, and witnessed the entire thing. He spoke the needed spell, and appeared before his shalafi's study. He knocked on the door, and was admitted.
"What is it NOW, apprentice?" Raistlin asked in a none too friendly tone. Dalamar cleared his throat.
"Shalafi, the girl, Leera, has been taken by the god of dark magic, Nuitari, and I don't know where they went."
Bum, bum, BUUUM!
