HAWK

I looked at Dimentio, who was holding - no, DRAGGING - Mr. L by the wing. The engineer had a real annoyed look on his face, and his right cheek was a bit bruised from where Raven had punched it. Raven herself was being dragged along by me, she being in her Crow Form. Xena was a bit ahead of us, flapping her wings hard cuz there isn't any thermals round here.

Anyway, we were a few minutes away from the mystery castle. L kept shooting Dimentio dirty looks, mostly cuz he didn't like being dragged on his butt. Raven was muttering something, but I tuned my ears away from it cuz I didn't really wanna intrude on her private mutterings.

Dimentio looked at me and spoke. "Say, X?"

"Mm?"

"Why don't you hand over Raven?"

"Why?"

"Well, like a trustworthy racer being presented with a golden medal, I'll be sure to take utmost care of her."

"Oh, no freaking way, man. I heard what you've been doing with girls."

"Oh? And what's that, pray tell?"

"Picking 'em up, playing games with their minds, reading their diaries, making 'em feel shitty and crappy and hopeless and all that shit cuz you're supposed to be so 'charming' and their supposed to be so 'lame' and stuff."

"Why, whatever are you talking about?"

"Don't you dare ask me that damn question!"

"I have not a clue of what you're rabbling about, thank you very much!"

I opened my beak, ready to retort, but then I saw his expression. Instead of talking, my beak dropped. Dimentio was, well and truly, not lying. He was going to take care of Raven, and didn't know what I was talking about.

"You... haven't been doing it much lately, though," I admitted.

"No," said Dimentio, "I haven't."

We looked at each other for a long time, each thinking their own thoughts, then Xena interrupted said thoughts.

"OI! Castle dead ahead!"

Our heads perked up as we saw the mystery castle loom over us. I dunno how to describe it: spiky? dark? scary? evil? all four?

Dimentio dropped Mr. L and the latter said "Ow!". The jester clicked his fingers, but nothing happened.

"Magic proof, no doubt," muttered Raven. She then added, under her breath, "Charming Magician? More like STUPID Magician."

Dimentio looked over at his friend and sighed, shaking his head. He then placed a hand on the brick.

"Looks like we're getting in manually," he sighed.

"I'll be off, then," said Mr. L suddenly, spreading his wings. Xena tugged him back down.

"No way, green-bean," she said sternly. "I'll go ahead."

And before anyone could stop her, she flew off.

"It's just occured to be how foolhardy we've all been during this adventure," Raven said, unexpectantly.

"What?" me and Dimentio said.

"I've attacked a robot head-on, L's run into a batch of fear fog, Xena's flew ahead into almost certain danger, and it looks like you two are next."

"Say what now?" I exclaimed.

"MrLRocks78 just likes torturing us," continued Raven.

"Uh," said Dimentio, "fourth wall, remember?"

"Oh yeah! Silly me, I forgot!"

"How could you forget the FOURTH WALL?" demanded Dimentio.

I looked from Raven to Dimentio, confused.
