Episode Sixty-Four
"Feel Your Way"
Naomi stands tapping her foot impatiently as Ally looks back and forth down the fork in the tunnel. "You do not know where we're going."
"Shh!" Ally hisses, waving a paw at her as she closes her eyes. "I am concentrating!"
"On what?" Naomi asks. "Your Weasley-dar? Yeah, 'cause that worked so well the first time."
"There are vibes," Ally says, slightly zoned sounding. "Magical sensations and they are leading me onwards."
Naomi looks at her in disbelief. "Tell me, what was the name of the facility you escaped from on your insane quest for Hogwarts?"
"Jinset Asylum," Ally replies as she opens her eyes. She looks over her shoulder at Naomi. "But it seems my insane notions weren't so insane, hmm?" She points out smugly. "Now, this way."
Naomi looks in horror after Ally as she romps down the tunnel towards somewhere.
Meanwhile, in Egypt
"Can I ask you about something?" Pizoku hops down off the small rock and onto the path.
"Why did we seem concerned about Taylor going into the desert?" Neah asks for him, looking back over her shoulder. Ma'at is leading the way down the path with Jilan close by her. Neah and Pizoku follow behind them.
"You all seem to have issues with the dunes," Pizoku says as he recalls some of the looks he saw earlier.
Neah is quiet for a moment. "We had a very complicated experience once that took place on a Desert World," She says after a bit. "It wasn't the happiest moment ever. Taylor was more involved than the rest of us."
Pizoku watches the girl before him as she continues on. "You aren't going to tell me what happened are you?"
"Why didn't you want to go to the temple?" Neah counters back.
"I dunno," Pizoku replies, sheepishly. "I guess I'm still feeling a bit freaked out."
"About what?" Neah asks, looking off towards the right.
"He killed me twice?" Pizoku stops as Neah pauses on the trail.
Neah shrugs. "In a manner of speaking."
Pizoku frowns. "How is that possible?"
But Neah doesn't answer this time. She moves quickly to the front of the group and looks out along the visible horizon.
"Is something wrong?" Jilan asks. She begins to look as well.
Neah continues to look out across the landscape. "We aren't alone."
