THE FAERIES' RUIN…chapter 5

Setting: Brynn and Hanso have just freed their comrades from the confines of Nox's home. Meanwhile, Nox is escaping through the Haunted Woods.

Brynn: Thanks a lot, Hanso. How am I going to face King Altador? I stood up for you again and again, and you betrayed me—I mean…us. Yeah, us.

Hanso: Nice catch. And hey, don't worry about it. He'll probably be too busy kissing my ass for saving him to remember that anyway.

Brynn: After he beats you to a pulp for the scarabs, Wadjets, skulls, and death ray, of course.

Hanso: You don't think he's still bitter about that…right?

Xandra, Altador, Jazan, and the others: *all ready to kick Hanso's ass*

Hanso: …nah.

Brynn: So reassuring, Hanso. You better not expect me to make the same mistake again.

Hanso: Yeah sure, whatever. Keep pretending you don't want aaaall this.

Brynn: Of course I want you, Hanso…to jump off the top of the Lost Desert pyramids.

Hanso: Anything for you, sweet cheeks. ;D

Brynn: And die.

Hanso: Except that.

Brynn: Ugh, what are we still doing in this dark, dank room?

Hanso: Bonding. ;o

Brynn: I'll bond my fist with your face.

Hanso: These threats are getting old.

Brynn: ...where do you think Hubrid ran off to?

Hanso: Away from you. *laughs at his own quip because he's so clever*

Brynn: News flash, he's running away from you, too.

Hanso: NOBODY LIKES ME. *ANGST*

Meanwhile…Hubrid is fleeing.

Hubrid: *running as fast as his short little legs can carry him* *it's f#$king adorable*

*Hubrid turns around to face the audience so he can laugh evilly*

Hubrid: Mwahahaha!

Tree: Lame, dude.

Hubrid: NOBODY ASKED YOU.

Tree: Keep running without looking at what's ahead of you. Yeah, that's smart.

Hubrid: Silence, tree! Do not question my genius, for once again I have made a cunning escape! Those fools thought they could outwit me! In my own castle, no less! I shall now proceed to explain how superior my brain is to theirs for the next six pan—*runs into a Nox doppelganger*

Doppelganger: Lol DENIED.

Tree: TWO Noxes? What a twist!

Nox: *looks up and OMG's* What? NOOOO!

Doppelganger: YOU MAY NOT PASS 'GO'. *zaps Nox in the face*

Nox: Boardwalk, some day you'll be mine... *collapses to the ground, unconscious and probably very dead*

Doppelganger: Sorry bro, maybe next time. For now, you lost the game.

Reader: ...oh, you're evil.
