Beastfire: Here's chappie 17! WAHOO!
Saga prepared to make another attempt at reopening that rip. Maria had decided to sit in the corner, holding her great granddaughter as though she were her own child. A sound was heard over where Otto was. The green monkey was rubbing the back of his head in pain as he stood up and asked what happened. Sprx explained the whole thing and Otto noticed Ivy.
"I did that?" he asked in disbelief.
He moved a random strand of hair out of Ivy's face. Then he saw Frus, who happened to be twitching with a strange grin on his face as he slept, still snoring.
"Didn't Frus do anything to stop me?" asked Otto.
"He couldn't," said Vrust. "You ran off with her after his collapse. But when he woke up, he tracked the two of you down."
"Oh."
Maria heard a soft groan from in her arms. Ivy began to wake up. Vrust walked over to them.
"How do you feel, Ivy?" he asked.
"Sdill hurd...ad hudgry," she replied.
"Sorry, but we have no food. If we did, I would gladly give you as much as you could eat."
"Bloody nose?" Otto asked, noticing the dried blood caked around the nasal area.
"Broged, agdually," said Ivy.
Maria looked at her sympathetically.
"You poor thing," she said, cradling her.
A loud yawn came from where Frus had been asleep. The mongoose's eyes opened slowly and he stood up, then walked over to Ivy and Maria.
"Welgob do the ladd of the livig," getting odd looks from the others. "Ogay...dead. Habby dow?"
Frus smiled at her and would havegiven her ahug, but he couldn't move his arms well enough...in fact, he couldn't move his left at all. His right just hurt a lot. Hejust looked at Maria, who picked him up and set him on her lap.
"So...what the heck is Saga doing?" asked Frus.
Ivy shrugged and Ygrene looked over at them.
"He's trying to reopen this tear he made in the wall so thatyour father and Ivy's great great grandmother can try to link to the area so that theycan get the rest of us someplace different...where we can probably get the both of you patched up." The sound of a growling stomach reached his ears. "And fed."
They heard the loud crack again. Saga had gotten another rip opened. Maria quickly set Ivy and Frus down on the floor andran with Vrust over to Saga. The demon hunter used her telekinesis to hold it open while Vrust got out, then her. On the way out, though, the tear began to close...right when Maria was going through. She was now stuck in it. The others found this to be amusing.
Sprx seemed mesmerizedby the sight of Maria's butt. He walked up and goosed her...only to bekicked in the face as a reflex. Vrust snickered and shook his head. He walked up to her and shook his head. He walked up to her and grabbed ontoboth of her hands and pulled. It took a while, but Mariawas finally free and the hole finished closing.
Maria and Vrust reached the main area. They'd decided on creating a doorway to Maria's territory, as it was bigger. They had to put a portal from where the others were, which was surprisingly simple.
Just moments later, the two ghosts came back through the portal. Maria walked over to Ivy and Frus and put Frus on his shoulder, but held onto Ivy, making sure not to agitate the meerkat's broken legs. They went through first, then Saga, then Sprx and Otto, then Ygrene, then Vrust.
Upon entering, the others were amazed. The whole place was red, and mounted upon the walls were thousands of demon heads...trophies of every dream she'd ever slain. She quickly took the two smallest of the group to another room to get them cleaned up, attended to, and fed. However, one thing was certain...they shouldn't attempt to leave until everyone has recovered.
