(on vacation)
Char- (tanning) Ahhh... This is the life.
Geode- (getting a massage) Yeah... It's just so nice to... get away from it all, ya know? What do you think Rae and Rae Rae are up to?
Char- Probably in a panic without us. They should be done with the first story, now. What do you think the second one is about?
Flute Player in the Labyrinth
Kevin pulled a spider web out of his shoulder length brown hair. "D'you hear that?" he asked.
Aiden listened and nodded. "A flute..." Someone else was in there.
"Hello?" Alanna called.
"Alanna!" Taryn whispered. The flute playing stopped. "Now you did it."
"Stop arguing!" Sasha told them. "Just think about getting through here."
Candace sneezed. "Stupid dust allergy..."
A dog barked not too far away. "It came from this way," Roscoe turned. Everyone else followed him. Sure enough, there was a wolf- looking dog there, barking and growling at them.
"Easy boy," Taryn said.
"Spirit, they, don't look dangerous," said a girl's voice from above. Kevin looked up.
"Who are you?" he asked. She jumped off the perch she was standing on and looked at them with green eyes that almost seemed to glow because of her brunette hair.
"Who are you?" she asked them.
"I'm Sasha," Sasha introduced herself and the others. "This is my brother, Kevin. And this is Alanna, Taryn, Candace, Roscoe, and Aiden."
"I'm Jade. What are you doing in a place like this?"
"We're looking for an evil dude named Alex." Alanna replied. "What about you?"
"I'm looking for my dad..." Jade told them. "You're not gonna be able to get out of here without reveal."
"I know reveal," Taryn told her. "Wanna follow us out of here?"
"Sure" Jade whistled for Spirit to follow.
Lena scanned the land on her nimbus. "Kali!" she called again. Fang hissed softly. Lena's nostrils flared briefly as she tightened her grip to Kali's scythe she had found. Kali didn't just disappear like this. And especially leave her weapon lying around. Someone had taken her. Lena was sure of it. She was yanked out of her musings when she fell off of the nimbus. It stopped and floated in the air. It was rare that Lena was ever cross, but she was today. Cross and worried. She pulled some silver air out of her hair, dusted off her kimono, and stood up. She was about to call her nimbus, but stopped and looked around. Someone was watching her. She looked around, but didn't see anyone. "Endira..." she said, looking at the new continent. The other side of Weyward. "Kali could be anywhere here..." She looked around once more. No one was there. "Nimbus!" The gold cloud came down. Fang curled his tail up to him to make room. Lena got on and continued to search from the air, still feeling someone watching her.
But from far away, Alex watched her search for her friend.
"I'm worried about Sasha and Kevin," Isaac told Mia, looking out of the window. "What if something happens to all of them?"
Mia came up from behind and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. "They're all in good hands with Sasha," she assured him. "She wouldn't let anything happen to them. Or her."
"Maybe I should go look for them..." Isaac said.
Mia shook her head. "No, Isaac. I'm worried about them, to, but we can't. This is their mission." There was a knock at the door. Mia went to answer it. "Felix! Picard!"
"Huh?" Isaac ran to the door. He gaped at them.
Felix smiled. "Aren't you gonna let us in?"
"Yes, come in!" Isaac got out of the doorway. Mia got some stuff off of the couch so they could sit down.
"It's so good to see you again!" Mia said, heading to the kitchen. "What did your sister say?"
Felix shook his head. "I wanna surprise Jenna and my parents."
"Vale hasn't changed..." Picard said. "How has everyone been?"
"We have a daughter and a son," Isaac told them. He got ready to tell their names, but Picard interrupted.
"Sasha and Kevin? We met them right before we came here."
"Oh?" Mia said. "Has anything happened to you two?"
"Well," Felix said, "We found a girl named Candace and took her in. But we think of her as an old, skilled chef in a young girl's body. How are Dora and Kyle?"
"They're doing good," Isaac told them. "Kevin has my dad's hair color... I always thought he'd have messy, like me, but the only thing he has of mine are the eyes!"
Mia went to the door. "C'mon, let's go!"
"Where are we going?" Picard asked.
"To see everybody, of course! Let's go."
Kali moaned and sat up. She put a hand on the back of her head. "Ow..."
Where am I? She thought. Then she remembered. Someone had snuck up on her and knocked her out. She stood up and looked around. She was incarcerated! She cursed and grabbed the bars. "I have to get out of here..."
"I see you're awake."
Kali looked up and saw a boy with long fair hair in a ponytail and brown eyes standing there. Kali glared at him. "Who brought me here? Who are you?"
"My dad did... He says all darkness adepts are bad. I disagree with him, though. I'm Reid."
"I'm Kali. I have to get out of here," Kali told him. "I've got something very important to do."
"I can help you," Reid said.
Kali blew some hair out of her eyes. "How?"
"All I have to do is take the keys. Or pick the lock. But we'll have to move quickly, or we'll be caught."
"Reid! What are you doing in here?"
Reid turned around. "She's awake, father. I was merely coming in to see a darkness adept for my very own eyes."
A man with brown eyes and a brown beard and hair walked over to the cave. "A thing of the devil..." he said condescendingly.
Kali glowered at him. "Don't patronize me, old man!"
The man's eyes narrowed. He took some keys out of his pocket and opened the cell. He slapped Kali and knocked her down. "Such disrespect for your elders! I guess I'll have to punish you until your death." He turned to Reid. "No food. Little water. Do you understand?"
"Yes, father."
"Are you sure?-"
"Yes, father-"
"-Because I see kindness for this girl in your eyes."
"Yes, father! I understand."
"Are you raising your voice at me?"
"No, father."
"Understand this, Reid. Your mother isn't here, anymore. I am your guardian, now. If I ever catch you doing something nice for this demon, you will be severely punished. Understand?"
"Yes, father."
"She will be hung from the gallows when I am ready for her to be."
"Yes, father."
Reid's dad turned to leave. "Reid, I want you to get ready to get out of here. Now."
Reid nodded. "Yes, father."
His dad left. Kali spat out some blood(she was hit in the mouth when she was knocked down) and got back up. "That your dad?"
Reid rolled his eyes. "Yes..." He turned back around. "Aren't you the least bit worried about being hung?"
"Not really..."
"Our plan might not work." Reid told her.
Kali nodded. "I know."
"What about the food and water?"
"I can deal."
Reid turned to leave. "Tell me if you need something."
"Ahhh, fresh air," Sasha and Alanna spun around outside.
"So this is the other side of Weyward..." Kevin said.
"I hear there are hot springs out here," Candace said, smiling.
"Sweet," Jade said, nodding.
Aiden looked at the map. "Right now, we're on the continent Endira."
"The ship!" Roscoe exclaimed. Everyone looked over where Roscoe was looking.
"How did it get over here?" Alanna asked.
"Oh, did I forget to tell you?" Jade told them. "Somehow, everything you left on the other side just appears over here when you come out."
Jade looked around and sighed. Her father wasn't here. She fingered the small gold key on a chain around her neck.
"Jade, you coming?" Jade turned around and saw Kevin waving as he ran toward the boat. Spirit tugged at her pant leg and ran after Kevin. She walked to the boat.
Rae Rae- You are a hopeless Legolas fan.
Don't forget Frodo! And what's wrong with giving Reid his hair, it's not like he's a fitting image of Legolas.
Rae Rae- Excuses, excuses.
Shut up... Review, please! I know there's a lot of things happening at once... And don't mind Rae Rae, she probably loves Frodo and Legolas like I do!
Rae Rae- ...Right... Oh, the irony...(sits on couch with redbull)
