SRRY FOR LONG WAIT BUT MY COMP HAD A VIRUS

KEEP REVIEWING!

Gregor was falling towards the rocks below. He opened his mouth to scream when a big grey bat appeared beneath him. Atlas landed and the dream slowly dissolved. Gregor's eyes snapped open and he looked around. Ripred was the only one up and turned to look at Gregor.

"Get everyone up, we'll be leaving soon." he commanded.

Gregor groaned and got up, still sore from flying all day and then sleeping in a cave. Not to mention the fact that Ripred had led them through the stink cave to hide their scent from climbers. He gently shook Luxa awake. She groaned and swatted at him, Mumbling incoherent words.

"Hey Luxa we have to leave". he said.

Luxa sat up and stretched, looking so beaituful Gregor nearly fainted. She started as Ripred shouted,

"HURRY UP OVER THERE!."

"Stupid rat mumbled Luxa."

She walked over to Aurora and got on her. Gregor jumped on to Atlas and pulled Boots up as she flew over to them singing "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider". Temp got on Nike this time and Ripred carried Longweb. They walked out of the cave and were hit by a the sunshine. Atlas, Nike, and Aurora launched themselves into the sky and Gregor spread out his arms to feels the wind hit his arms.

"It's a good thing you're so much like Ares or it'd take weeks to get ready for this." Gregor told Atlas as he grabbed Boots to stop her from falling off. She was still singing though now she was singing something from Barney.

Atlas was about to respond when something flew off the nearby walls and flew at them. Gregor registered something like a giant squirrel before it slammed into them, sending them towards the ground. Gregor pulled out his sword and slashed it through the neck and it fell to the ground. Gregor looked around and saw Ripred and the others fighting. He flew down on Atlas and felt his rager senses taking over as he dropped to the ground. He slashed, parried. and stabbed for what seemed to be forever when he saw a climber take Aurora to the ground.

"LUXA!!" he yelled as he sprinted over there.

She was fighting with her left arm. Her right dangling uselessly. Aurora was behind her and Gregor jumped beside her. Back-to-back, they killed the rest of the climbers. After wards he counted about fifty corpses on the ground. Atlas flew over with Boots on his back, singing a tuneless song about squirrels taking a "nap".

"Those climbers are better fighters than i thought" said Ripred as he walked towards them.

Howard limped towards them and began examining Luxa's arm. He wrapped it up in a cast and gave her some painkillers.

"Where's Longweb?" asked Gregor.

Longweb crawled out of a nearby cave as he said it. He began creating silk and Ripred decided to make camp for the day. They set up everything and all sat by the fire (except for Boots who was asleep).

"We're going to have to pay attention better from now on." said Ripred.

"How did they sneek up on us like that without you or Lapblood smelling them?" wondered Luxa.

"They must have gone through the rotten egg caves." said Gregor.

He thought about Larry and Angelina and what they were doing,

"Probably trying to get Mareth to teach them sword-fighting." thought Gregor.

Luxa yawned and Gregor realized how sleep he was.

"I'll take first watch." said Ripred.

Gregor and Luxa went over to where they had set their packs and Gregor lay down with Boots. He slowly drifted off to sleep and it seemed too soon when he was shook awake for his watch. As he sat down he heard footsteps behind him. Luxa sat down next to him and took his hand.

"What do you think the new allies will be?" asked Gregor.

"Maybe it will be the Stingers, they would be very useful in battle."

"I bet there's lots of over-sized creatures down here that could help."

They sat in silence before Gregor made Luxa go back to bed. He sat there for a while and thought about the prophecy.

A friend will take a fatal fall.

What will happen can love conquer all?

Gregor kept thinking for a while before he realized his watch was over. As he settled down to sleep he got a feeling that something bad would happen soon and that no one would be able to do anything about it.
