Hp, Sanderson and the fire sprite snuck down the dungeons. The Only sounds were the crackle of the sprites hair and their wings fluttering.

"Hp…" "Hp…"

Sanderson tensed at the echo his voice made.

"Shhh….""Shhh…." " the dungeon echoes…." " Echoes…." whispered the sprite.

" Who's there!" shouted somebody down the hall.

" Hide!" the fire sprite whispered harshly. " Wait, where can you hide in a dungeon?"

'a friend' turned around and saw a guard sprite coming at her. And she grinned like anti-fairies after they steal something.

" Have you seen any pixies?" he asked.

"huh!" she exclaimed and turned around. The pixies, how she didn't know, had either found hiding spots or they vanished!

" Uh, …Um. What pixies? T-there aren't any pixies around here! You tryin' to pull a fast one on me?"

" sorry, ma'am. But I 'ave orders to find some escaped pixies. Tell ya' the truth, when I received the order, I feared for our dear empresses mind! Oh, well, an' order is an order. G'day to ya."

The guard brushed past her and continued his search for the pixies.

" Lemme know if ya find 'em!" he shouted back to her.

"Fast thinking." said a boring voice behind 'a friend'.

" What in the world! Where in heavens name did you hide!" 'a friend' asked looking every which-way to find their hiding spot.

" That's for us to know and you to never find out." Sanderson boringly replied.

" Ya' know, I once hear my teacher say that pixies were the best hiders of all the mythical races, but that was an understatement!"

" well, 'a friend', where do we go from here?" Hp asked.

" Head quarters."

" and head quarters is….?" Sanderson asked.

" that's for me to know and you to never find out." she said grinning from ear to ear.

" Back sass…" whispered Sanderson.

Hp rolled his eyes. Usually Sanderson only got sassy around anti-Chelsea, but it looks like he bites into any sassy girls bait.

" Come on, Sanderson, before you say something you'll regret."

The three of them continued down until they reached a dead end.

" Don't tell me fire sprites can touch fire and jump through walls!" Sanderson said sarcastically.

Sanderson turned to take one of the touches off the wall and feel its soft cool touch. While he had his back turned, 'a friend' glared at him and made a funny face; silently mimicking him by mouthing his statement.

"Ouch!" Sanderson shouted and dropped the torch.

'a friend' gave a howl of laughter as she watched him and Hp looked surprised.

" I thought that shot…" started Sanderson.

" It wore off, nimb-rod!" 'a friend' choked out between fits of laughter.

" you could've told me!" he said frustrated.

" Don't tell me you can hide and burn your hand!" she mimicked his other statement.

Sanderson only muttered a certain word that starts with B.

" Are we going to go any where, or are you two going to kill one another?" Hp asked.

" Be patient, Hp. Were waiting for some one."

Sanderson whispered to Hp. " If who were waiting for is 'a buddy' or 'a pal', I'm taking my chances with the fire sprite army!"

" Have no worry, pixie, my name is Recoal." said a voice behind them.

Every one turned to look at him. He had short flames for hair and wore heavy metal armor.

" Ember, I see you brought them safe and sound." he said as he came forward.

" not really."

" what?"

" The stupid one over there burned his hand."

" Ok. You almost brought them safe and sound." he said awkwardly.

Hp sighed and looked at Sanderson. He guessed he was glaring at them behind his sunglasses, but he couldn't tell.

" Ok, Ember, Recoal, where are we going to go? All I see down here is a torch and a dead end."

" that's all your suppose to see! It we didn't hide our head quarters, we would be found out!" Recoal explained.

Recoal flew forward and took the torch from Sanderson. He held it next to the wall and began chanting a few words over and over three times.

" Blyue Fiir, Blyue Fiir, Blyue fiir!"

The pixies watched as the blazing red flames turned into an icy blue colour; dancing as the red flames did.

" The other mythical races don't really know much about fire sprites, do they?" asked Ember.

" well, now we know sprites can change the colour of fire." Sanderson implied the obvious.

Recoal ignored them and touched the wall with the blue torch. A large passage appeared spreading out like fire.

" blue fire activates this path." explained Recoal. " but other paths can be activated by other kinds of fire. Or even two different kinds of fire at the same time."

Sanderson took out his note book and began writing furiously in it.

" come on!" Ember shouted at him. " We haven't got all day!"

He put his note book away and followed them down the dungeons. Recoal's blue torch leading the way.


Well? What do you think! R&R!
