Damn! I slept in again! It's been a habit lately, but oh well. Anyways, I might be going off to visit my father soon, so I'm making as many chapters as possible today, just to make you all happy. I would never forget my children, let alone not giving them more to read! Be happy my children, for here is another chapter! Enjoy and smile!
Gaz, Dib, and Ryuu have sat for what seemed like hours on end. Gaz continued to ponder in thought, all while Dib and Ryuu were 'entertained' by Gir and his 'pudding' project.
'This 'book' and this 'room' have something in common. It's in this house, but I wonder what they really are? The 'book' was mentioned as 'big', and Zora doesn't have a lot of books lying about in her house. The only place that even has books, is in that room, and her parent's old room. It's in either one of those rooms... and we're going to find it!'
She got up, removing the gauze pads from her face and arm. She grabbed her metal bat, which was still stained with Cerebus' blood, and faced her brother and the male goth.
"Get up, you pair of over grown monkeys. Let's go find Zim and Zora and go look for that 'book'!"
Dib nodded, grabbing Ryuu by the arm roughly, yanking him out of the bed. Ryuu glared at Dib, but even more so at Gaz. "This isn't your place to meddle, human! If my master finds out we're looking for what should never be found, he'll kill all of us!"
Gaz grabbed Gir, holding him in one arm, and looked at Ryuu in defiance. "Just who the hell is your master, anyway?"
Ryuu's features went dark, as he replied grimly, "My master is lord of the underworld. Does that answer your question?"
Gaz and Dib stared in dead in the eye, even more pale from the shock of who they were dealing with.
Finally, the purple female shook her head, grabbed the handlebar, and darted out the door, with Dib and Ryuu following suit.
Meanwhile, in the higher level of the house in the abandoned bedroom, Zelda looked among the bookshelf next to the bed.
"Where is it? I could have sworn I place that book somewhere... Ah ha! There you are, you little bugger!" She pulled out a big, musty old book. The covering was in black leather and the spine of it was embroidered in silver writing that couldn't be made out in human terms.
She flipped through the pages, looking for a spell of some sort. Finally, she halted on one of the pages, her finger resting on one spell in particular, written in red ink.
Sh read the words aloud, and as she did, a dark wormhole of some sort appeared before her.
"Ai nha hie sghi."
She closed the book, fearing what dark magic it could bestow, and slipped it under the bed.
"There, that way it will not be found. I can't let it fall into the wrong hands."
Zelda stepped lightly into the wormhole, and as she did, it slowly closed right behind her, sucking her into the deep darkness that awaited her.
She continued to trot in the dark, vast halls, hoping to run into one of two things:
that 'room', as a first, or secondly, him, which she would prefer the least. Actually, she didn't want to run into any of those things, but held her head high, knowing that it is going to be either one sooner or later.
'I just hope Zora is alright.. and hopefully, that she does find that 'book'. She has to know... sooner or later.', she thought with slight worry, as she came close to two giant doors at the end of the hallway.
Slowly, she opened the doors, and found herself in what seemed to be a throne room.
"Well, it's very good to see you again, Zelda.", came a dark, shrill voice from deep within the throne room.
"Yes. It is good, isn't it... Dante?" She raised her angry eyes at the tall dark figure, who stood with its' red eyes admiring the woman.
"Well, of course it is. Why wouldn't I be happy as to see my darling wife again?", a demonic smile plastered the lower half of his face. He made his way towards her, as the doors to the throne room closed very slowly.
