Uh, how's this? I hope it's okay, and that I didn't mess anything up.
Chapter 2
Ivy landed in Frus' arms as the…wherever they were became pitch black once more. The music sounded a bit like a flute being played but with a more mystical quality, as if the wind itself made the sound. It continued even after the light went out..
Ivy noticed that Frus seemed very tense. There was also a swishing sound.
"Frus, what…" began Ivy. She trailed off when Frus began running towards where the sound seemed to be coming from.
"Ivy, I've heard this before, when I was young! Maybe we did travel through time!" exclaimed Frus.
"Frus, slow down! You can't see where you're going!" shouted Ivy. As if the landscape had heard her and decided to remedy this, a very dim light began to come from the ground. It only appeared where Frus's feet touched and only stayed as long as his feet were touching. It was impossible to make out anything, even so. It seemed as if the land was flat and barren.
Meanwhile, monkey Hyde was looking through the pages of the spell book for a spell that would help him find the others. Or anyone else in the area, for that matter. He activated one of his saws and thought about what he would do when he found them.
Sprx and Ygrene were wandering around the area that they had landed in. Sprx, who was riding Ygrene, continued blaming the dragon for their predicament. Ygrene tried to tune him out as he continued looking for something that looked like it could help. Every once in a while he would roar and send out a blast of blue energy.
Frus continued heading straight towards where the sound was coming from and suddenly he crashed, seemingly into thin air, dropping Ivy and falling down. The two of them got up and suddenly there was a large wooden door there. Apparently, that was what they had crashed into, but it hadn't been visible until afterwards.
"There's something strange about this door," muttered Frus.
"Besides the sudden appearance?" asked Ivy.
"Yeah, I mean, look at it. There's no wall around it," said Frus.
Ivy reached up and turned the knob, and the door began to open. Behind it was a doorway in thin air, with many glowing eyes inside.
"Close the door," hissed a voice. Ivy was happy to comply. She and Frus began to walk around the door when they bumped into another one. This one, however, was stuck to the first one. Also, it was sideways. And there was all going up the rest of the side of the first door.
Ivy and Frus began to back up, and another door appeared, this time behind them. It opened by itself, and the skeleton of a hand reached out. The bony hand was on fire, and dark lines crossed it. However, it seemed to be somewhat transparent. Regardless, it was going for Ivy. However, when it got too close, it began to disintegrate and quickly pulled back into its door, closing it afterwards. The two mammals stared for a moment, then turned to try leaving again. Now they seemed to be in an infinity of doors hanging off of doors, standing alone by themselves, floating and sticking out at odd angles. Some of the doors seemed to writhe and others vanished to a different place. Some were slowly disappearing altogether. But more were appearing, and this strange area was spreading out further and further into the darkness.
"Are we more lost than were before, or less lost?" asked Ivy as she summoned a large fireball so she would have enough light to see what was happening.
"I have no idea…I guess that our best bet is to find out what that sound is," said Frus.
"Find out? I thought that you said that you knew," said Ivy.
"I know that I remember it from a long time ago. I'm not even sure how long, actually," said Frus.
Upon hearing this, Ivy sighed. "I guess it's our best chance right now. Let's go," she said.
By this time, Ygrene was starting to get tired of Sprx's company. To be fair, the red monkey had a reason to be mad, but his mood wasn't helping. Ygrene turned his head towards the red monkey when glowing bubbles began to appear around him. This was strange enough to Ygrene, but Sprx was able to get a much closer look when a bubble went right in front of his face. It looked like there was a movie about some girl playing inside. Her attire looked medieval, and she was running around in a field. Suddenly, smoke appeared over the horizon and the girl looked afraid and began to run. Before she got very far, mounted warriors were in the field. They carried torches, and began to burn the crops. Then, one noticed the girl. He fired an arrow, and the moment it struck, the bubble popped.
Well, I'm stuck, so I'm going to stop here.
Frus: So, Ivy and I are in a dark world with many, many doors, at least some of which contain untold horrors, with little or no idea where we're going, while a homicidal Otto is looking for us, and Sprx is watching painful deaths on bubble TV?
Me: Yep.
Frus: And Beastfire will be telling the next part?
Me: Yep.
Frus: I'm not even going to say it.
