When Kel woke up, she was on her back with her feet sticking straight up and her glaive dangerously close to her neck. She carefully moved her glaive so that it was leaning against a wall. She moved to straighten her legs but found that she couldn't. There was something blocking her legs. She lifted her head to look around and cursed. She was at the bottom of a 20ft. tall, 3 ft wide hole.
She scooted her bottom backwards making her back and head lean against the wall. After a lot of scooting and stretching, Kel was able to stand. As she got on her feet, her knees buckled and she could barely stand. She grabbed her glaive for support andwaited until all of the blood drained back into her legs.
She looked up out of the hole, and turned in a full circle, looking for anything that she could use to get out of the cave. Finding nothing, she sighed. I have to climb, She thought gloomily. So she loosened her muscles and grabbed the side of the hole. She got about one and a half feet off of the ground, when her feet and hands slipped, and she fell down to the bottom of the hole once more.
It took her three more tries before she realized that this was a trap. Perfectly smooth, all the way up. She tried a different approach. She used her war hammer and used it as a picaxe to pull herself up the wall. But about five feet up the war hammer slipped and she fell again. "Im not going to try that again," Kel said as she tried not to think about how far she had fallen.
Kel had several more attempts to get out of the hole. Each as ridiculous as the last. They ranged from jumping up and trying to reach the edge, to trying to walk up the walls of the hole by bracing each foot on one side and sliding her feet upward. Each attemp failed misearbly. And Kel finally sat down and waited.
"Brilliant," Kel said sarcastically. "I can defeat five soldiers single-handed,butI can't get out of a stupid hole."
The whole time this was going on, the sparrows and Jump were watching Kel's failed attempts at escaping her hole prison with interest. Jump whuffed and caught Kel's atention. Kel looked up and laughed. How could she forget that she had Jump and the sparrows. "Could you go get some help?" she asked thesparrows and Jump. Jump, Nari, Quicksilver, and three other sparrows left, leaving five sparrows behind. these flew down and landed on Kel chattering loudly.
An hour later she started to hear someone tearing through the woods. She imediately tensed and stood up, thinking it might be and enemy scout. But she was wrong. It was Dom. she figured this out when something heavy landed ontop her, making them both cramped and squished in the bottom of the hole.
"Oh. there you are, Kel" Dom said "I was afriad I wouldn't find you"
"Well you did and you are squishing me" Kel squeaked.
"Oh! Sorry! Dom said, slightly blushing. With some difficulty, Dom and Kelfinallyfoundin a comfortable position. Kel and Dom were seated side by sidewith thier legs drawn up. "This isn't a very big hole is it?" Dom finally asked breaking the comfortable silence.
"No it's not" Kel replied.
"So how did you get stuck in here?" Dom asked.
"I was watching the sky to try and see what time it was and I fell in."She relpied as Dom laughed. "Hey! you fell in too!" Kel protested.
"Well at least I had a good reason!" Dom said as he flasehed a grin. Kel's stomachdid a flipas she hid her blush behind her Yammani mask. "and besides, we can always ask Jump and the birds to go get help."
"they already did." Kel said as Dom glared at her. "and it took you an hor to get here, so by the time someone else comes, it will be dark and they will probably fall in too."
"well then we'll just have to spend the night won't we?"
