Merryn flopped onto the last stair, dragging in burning breaths. Should have looked for another way. She gulped in another breath, then stood.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAABW8tmVVMV
The room was large and gray, there were four pillars at different ends.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtMFCxcxjFz
Long black ordinate tapestries hung on poles by the walls, they are the only decoration. This place wasn't right, everything was off about it.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGZQv6LHScA
The shadows under the tapestries should have ran along the floor, but instead they went up the wall onto the ceiling. The only light came from globes on the ceiling.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAef4qDISJ35
A sensation of just before falling crept up inside. She grabbed a pillar as the floor was gone. No, it's still there.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANALrl6ZOJ0JT
At the left end of the room another staircase, again leading up.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6FsC8iYdC5
A low chuckle filled the room. She spin around.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAta8rKpr8JZ
"Hey!"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAolqqk4OEx7
No reply.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q2V7C8rwL
She ran up the new flight of stairs, it was shorter then the last. On this level several hallways intersected. Now what way? Left? Okay, fine left.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAi6IhRST0el
Glowing globes floating above half bowl steel bases lined the walls, turning on one by one as she passed.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIu0K0ZEwpZ
A metallic armored humanoid creature passed by, it had faintly glowing runes etched onto its armor, he crouched.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAo5Y00R2vaI
"I am the caretaker here. Fail any challenge here and..."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA67GReFnPjL
He paused; as did her breath.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9sOYmFukVh
He ran a finger across his neck.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2f5kAx4nE
She swallowed hard.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAduxTatE5xF
He stood with an arm stretched out and pointed down the hallway.
"Go."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3QzIQcbZ26
She took off down it.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhttyF544Ic
The globes lit the way, several paintings of people and landscapes decorated the walls between them.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAE623S1mTnd
An intersection appeared at it's end. It wasn't empty, she skidded to halt as a little porcelain doll in a frilly pink dress was sitting at the middle with its legs sticking straight out under the filly dress.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAYwHo2U0OzR
A monotone music played from it, a large wind up key on its side turned slowly around.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAebzDot0Umt
The doll's lurched forward, its curly hair flopping forward over it's blue painted eyes. Moving in slow motion onto its cracked hands it pushed up and stood, the hinges of its mouth creaked as it opened.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkl5FD1bGO9
"Of pictures eight and light divine, fix the order or thy life be mine."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJlJQ14nDtH
The hairs on her arms and neck stood and a tingling marched down her neck. Was this a cursed spirit?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6EhWDQE1rE
The doll's mouth opened wide and flames streamed out, the heat searing her arms face. She jumped back, then rubbed face and arms chasing away the heat. Perhaps this wasn't the right way to go?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA19kr5gBO3i
She turned around.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIRhJpkgsES
The doll blocked her way.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFIWBxWzUaI
"Only one way. You forfeit the game?" Its eyes glittered.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAv8DtTRGLum
All her skin tingled. Magic of some sort, had to be. Had. To. Be.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8TRluIllal
She went back.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANARLnr23Un01
So too the doll.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA28WF9TLLlc
It stood quietly; the shadows cast by the light darkened it's brow.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9BoezPDeu9
Pictures of eight? Divine light?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcTxvrtlWbk
She rubbed her forearm and walked around careful not to turn around. It said pictures and lights. Pictures and lights. Lights and pictures. Ah?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAG3q31ZgEoF
On closer inspection the paintings were in an odd order between the globes.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3RMWmqMLYM
She paced the hallway inspecting each painting. How many? Count them?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyoFtN3V102
None totaled to eight, the same with the globes.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfILBUOyrW4
Humm... 48 pictures, and 24 globes. Eight? She rubbed her wrist, frowning.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZhxSaSCjdC
The pictures blurred from staring at them. Rubbing her forehead, she closed her eyes for a moment. Relax, can't blast through this.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUzG13mnL5I
She took one down, rolling it in her hands, then putting it back on the wall.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANADp6G79NUNn
The doll stepped forward, the gears grinding and clicking.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiQSRQ18CRH
"First mistake is made two more to pain."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiAuO8H3AN7
Oh-oh. Now what? Count them again? Length, width, the diameter? Gods, what if its the color? Another amount?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAstQyUopTo8
She sat down slowly on the floor and untied all the pouches dumping them into a pile. Ahead it hadn't moved the doll's glass eyes glinted.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3Af5n2XdYK
She sorted the various items into smaller piles, potions in one, thief picks in another. A linen thread was tangled around one of the metal tools, she put it aside.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6KeWaeu7KZ
It was probably pointless, but sifted through everything again just in case something could help.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAdJZkXFsBz
Picking up the thread again, she fiddled with it. Wrapping it around thumb and pointer finger bouncing it. Of course! She jumped up going over to the nearest globe. It'll be rough, but should work. Keeping the thread wrapped around thumb and pointer finger, she measured the nearest globe.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXxJuF8elDt
The span of a hand from palm to the thumb is about six inches. What if .. 48 pictures ÷ the 6 inches of the globes? Eight it always comes up as eight. But eight what, eight pictures?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgDGzPgY0GA
Between each of the globes were four pictures over lapping leaving no room for any others. Taking the pictrues down her hands shook. Forty eight total.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFtvnkimJHM
Eyeing the doll, it hadn't moved.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0CCphUEY1u
With a picture in hand, she went back to the wall again. The globes were spread several feet from the others. Walking over next to the wall, she stepped heal-toe counting each one.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAeyWF6OXL9F
Eight steps. Maybe?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAcMoSoIumQb
Repeating this the amount is consistent. This should...
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9dsO1CktuT
She places the picture eight feet next to the first globe, then stepped back her breaths shallow and heartbeat loud.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXvS0KnxeVN
The doll's eyes flashed.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAofWMpmiBqV
"That is... correct."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2Pp5OWun8J
Alright, then. She placed the rest also eight feet apart between the remaining globes. The doll still blocked the way. Was something missing?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAndj1NAsHG9
She breathed in.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAu7DoRcjVwn
"The globes." She nodded. Just do it.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAP9DTFxkcuL
A few minutes later she placed all the globes on the floor, and replaced eight between the pictures.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2678gJbQE0
"One more mistake will sign your fate."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPobzUu2WdQ
The words echoed through the hall.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAowSbl5ffzT
Her hands shook while taking them down again. Eight, eight, eight, eight, starting to hate eight!
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAMufPeyz0I
Arrg! Picking up a globe in each hand, she nearly shattered them against the wall. Two Of course!
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjAfOPIlmA9
She took the globes placing them back, but left out every second one.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAC44NxHoZAF
"That is ... correct thou may pass."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWQeBPITbOx
It went over to the wall, fading as it did.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANANd624V8gm0
Merryn raced down the hallway on the right, another flight of stairs loomed. Several hours passed before reaching its top. It was like this place was taller inside then out, some sort of old magics at work.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnqNWZKzBKt
The animals were more aggressive, old less used magics cropping up, what next?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAadEqfn1CU6
Unnamed chuckled.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVuXQiCV7sG
Ah, right an old god awakening. It seemed like people too were different somehow, but as to what it was hard to pinpoint. Only Parcival and Han seemed unchanged.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAA1eysvLQgC
Bending over hand on knee, she dragged in hot breaths. The air was thick, she struggled to draw in a breath. Sweat driped off her forehead, she wiped it away. Not a single port stone, how did these people get around without dying from old age?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA4fK09MkJRy
She froze.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANASx8HVcEKzs
A soft crinkling filled the room ahead. It stopped.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANARnCgExMc2D
What trap or puzzle will it be this time? The tiles? Drapes coming to life? The hallway on the left crashing down? It was hard moving into the room, every wisp of her being howled; just run back down.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAE0R8vm01Sh
The walls were curved with odd shaped windows that also were curved fro the top, the sides, then went straight down with a flat bottom. Most of the tiled floor was covered with a fancy ornamental blue and black rug, stepping on it, she went over to the odd window ahead.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzCiAEIAfUT
Crinkle. Cackle. Pop.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAX8E8Nw9z5U
"Gah!"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAD7l5rRKepx
The carpet under foot shuffled, and rolled up and down in a wave.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAw7eD7cXgT3
She stumbled back back peddling away.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9oStdJUnSy
The carpet bubbled, steam hissed from them as they burst.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAj1aMkFT8lp
Oh gods.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVqX8Hw9VE0
The edges of the carpet turned black and crinkled cracking again randomly.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbBDry7N7Vd
Dark veins slowly threaded throughout it from the blackened edges and pulsed merging at the center forming an intertwined circle.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqFD1F8nY78
The carpet levataed, twirling around it self becomeing taller and thiner, and taking on a humanoid outline.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZGO9FRksI8
She backed further as it tightened in on itself, smoothing over the humanoid outline. Details of a shadowy robed woman emerged.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZBTz4j4wPK
Not just old magics here, but dark, ones grandmother spoke of during the yearly Moon Out.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPJwkobnkUG
Reality was far worse. She swallowed hard as the shadowy fourm lightend to that of a woman.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZCQD9kwVci
The woman had white hair up on a tight apple bun. Her eyes were an unblinking milky white that seemed to be far too aware.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVfdTrxGTRT
Her eyebrows, lashes, and lips weren't much better and were of bright red that contrasted with her translucent porcelain, heart shaped face. The woman wore an elaborate red and white tight dress of a criss crossing checker pattern. Her nails like silver talons were long and filed to a point.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsPSC03lPdo
"Welcome, won't you sit down?"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANARyaNzCN72v
She startled at how soft and musical her voice was, guess in part expecting it to be more like a harpy's screech.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlaedoOyvWI
"I'm tired of all this. Where are my friends?"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQoqK4dk8bC
The woman ignored her and pointed to a chair near the window and bookshelf.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5O6xCCP7Jx
Manners would be wise with this one. The hairs on her arms kept raising and lowering, with every movement the woman made.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5105M6Vckr
"I don't feel like sitting. What is your name if I might ask?"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmPBLTjwbkY
The woman turned exactly to where Merryln stood.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA86A9IiNe4H
"Rouge. I will give you your next challenge. I don't know of your friends, it's hard to keep tally of the scrubs that are brought here."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAddEpMVmooq
She walked over to a candle on a table, ran her fingers over it and the wick lit immediately.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA37P425ccDY
Merryn choked back a gasp. Apparently not enough as the woman smiled some.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8uAWavq6Tn
"If you win, then go through the right corridor. You find the newest scrubs in there, perhaps they are who you're looking for. If you lose-"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmS9dpb3KG2
Rouge paused, staring straight at her.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsC9cPdfcoc
Her red rimmed lips parted into an odd smile, like that of a dragon looking down at it's next meal.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5Y6ttIQG1V
Merryn's stomach became acidic and clenched, she stood as streight as possible fighting an urge to rub her arm.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGSpmiZXv7c
Rouge brandished two gleaming rows of delicately pointed teeth. While white they had a pink tint between them, as to what it was?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3ywDwf6hV9
"Then I will skin you alive." Rogue's gaze was oddly intense.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAWgW7P8USGN
She shivered.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbLKZyiAxjb
"Tell me then, what is it you want?"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAyXQbgwXdwF
Rouge cuped her hands as she went over to the large lamp at the end of the room. She flicked her wrist upwards, a sword dropped out of the air. She caught it with one hand.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAW2LTNkT2i2
"You ever play hide and seek as a child? I'll be 'it'.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQghpIReREZ
She sliced the blade back and fourt.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAqAaAWKZbeT
"Don't be caught too quickly now."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKaviKWntrp
Rouge came over and pinched the side of her face.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZzGT8LY1X4
"This will only be temporary. If you win that is."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkjQM5owV0T
Her hand flowed over Merryn's face, and touched her eyes.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAPyhAAT5P9y
She blinked, all was hazy, then this faded to black. Her breath stuck in her throat, she hyperventilated and wheezed.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANASlYQoMgRUZ
"What did you do!" She shreaked.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAck9CDGwvqJ
She backed away hands held out, tryingto find something, anything! She smacked into the chair, tripped and fell to her knees.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAES9xObw8GG
Rouges voice appeared before her.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAjCUQDankIx
"You will have to the count of five to hide. If I fail to find you, your sight will be restored. If you find me first I will let you pass."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3HI1w0R9Na
Shuffling now.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAMZYxGpW11m
"Their are five ball bearings in this hourglass. When the last one falls, I will seek."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANADBumvRSyCz
Rouge's breath hot on her neck, her nails trailed down stinging.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xb7dsw38t
"The count starts, now."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAI9y7RGMSTD
A trickle of sweat came down her neck. She wiped it away; it smeared? The sharp tang of blood filled her nose. The scraches hit full fource. She cuped her neck, shaking.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAYWGPxC3AL
Scrambling forward, holding her hands out they slapped into a wall?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfCTRKWcUOG
Ping.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUmOKDUnC1J
Crap!
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkyw8SuLjTO
With the wall guiding her she followed it. A while later smacked into a hard, flat surface. Quickly running her hands over its tops and sides. A table. Following its end to nothingness!
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAx69bTUSnvu
"Aaaah!"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA8664tZZFNL
landing on to her side, she slid down several steps.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAJr7dBCncPC
Clink.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANABSpSLUyqql
How many was it? Hide. Hide! Hide now!
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA3cn70rY4zG
She crawled around witha hand out in front. Her fingers brushed a hard and smooth object next to the wall that headed down. She grasped it. She flitted her hands into space and almost tipped over forward. More stairs. Going back she cluched the banaster and worked her way down.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAuRPPgCdkV
There was a faint smell of roses and sandalwood. The stairwell ended and the wall led to a door, the scent was strongest here.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKvyZdsD3FD
She followed the wall in the room cautiously. A bedroom as there was furniture and a bed so far. A cold breeze blew on her hands, following the wall led to a window carved into the wall. Another wall to right. Back over to the bed she ran both hands down it. Maybe go under it?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGtPEPqiAli
Tink.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAZsJjQjrVPu
Four!
1095Please respect copyright.PENANApScfRnWSPK
Fugh! The window. Back over at it she pulled up onto the ledge. Her heart doing a bouncing act in her chest and throat.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAz56UeV8wZH
Dink!
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAkvr1X6xzu0
Reaching out the ledge extended some from the window, but not much.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANATq0z3Nxjq5
Footsteps.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAGAscK3w1v2
Following the window all around she bumped into a small hard object on the left.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAlMQnTcAur
It seemed big enough. Stupid hands shook making it hard to pull up onto it. She strattled it clinging tight.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAUFKDCPKDnV
Footsteps were closer now.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAlgEr4sm2CK
What if this is her room? Idiot!
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAM1gPh1AiNo
Whats that fluttering?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAtADEPKcz1t
A soft pita-pat-a and scratching.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA01hFwgjjMN
"I know you're near, I can smell you. Fear wraps you and betrays you."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ7KPkWjgS
Rouge snarled.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAHes2wfB8mj
Fanning her hands out led to nothing.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAIkfZ9Ht4nh
Clank.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAd7XHFneRZh
"Come out child the game is over. I tire of this."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAuYGAShI3PK
She scrambled back inside. Rogue was there in an instant her fingers flowing over Merryn's eyes. Blinking and her sight flooded back.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANABr248tolkP
Rouge sniffed.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA01gM7u6XXc
"Before I became blind, you know how I got the stripes on this dress so bright red?"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAX1i5LZtOHP
talons
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAmJl4z35Qmz
Rouge traced a talon along the top of her hand, cutting a thin line before she could move away. She caught a blood drop on its tip and licked it.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAAdFQapFpGE
Merryn backed away runing back and out almost going back down the stairwell. No! Not after all that.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAxfZtTQoV11
She swung around 360° on the pads of her feet and ran down the right corridor.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAQaIr5bT8R5
While near the top of the tower, Rouge's laughter echoed behind her.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2vjSRZuFYa
At the toop a long halway that led to another door. Peaking inside the circular room it was dark and mostly empty. Parcival and Han both were slumped on the floor.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAh2FeqWdOJI
"Parcival, Han!"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA6oBgYNIxnu
Bending over she patted Parcivall's shoulder.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANARkBT36xsvi
He moaned and frowned.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAVJFnY85Uob
"Hey!"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAq10HnpIKWX
He squinted and rubbed a bump on the side if his head.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsSE4qXmYdy
"Where?"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAY4BDdtK7b0
"The Tower of Focus."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAF8Jrl9Qdyk
He arched his eyebrows and shook his head. "The gods save us."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvheynzU3nq
"Did you see who took you here?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANACrf4AYCcUP
She patted Han's shoulder until awoke. He muttered, sitting and squinted at the light that steamed in though the window.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbZca625YHO
"We have to get back to the elders and warn them of a traitor."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAiUcbCKskTx
"So you-"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1yH8twD2uW
"No." He looked away as if thinking.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANADnFPaO1HTb
"I was cold-conked from behind. Then woke up in here."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAzjs3lwwHiw
Han pipes in.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA1aSzZqoQmf
"I might have seen something green boots with silver threading."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANARLBDtnZ91j
"Not much to go by but better then nothing."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA2ceK08nyx2
They got up and headed to the door.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9THKBvmiau
"Wait."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA9Bl2a3OiLz
Parcival turned.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnMOWlrwGkA
"What is it?"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAluLHXTa1Rb
She went over and hugged him quick then went out.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAnzEO4r95Wl
"We better hurry up they seem to have mistaken me for some one else."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAU4zMsw4QWw
Parcival walked beside her as they went back down the stairs.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAfo6B00iRA4
He blinked repeatedly.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANACGLzSk1UFh
"Who's mistaken, you?"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKjpOi6jPqz
"The elders and the guards. Some one tried to assassinate Raimo."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAeg3phCnK6L
He startled and his face became a wall.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA0dCQEIHXyt
"They walk, but are dead." His voice was low and cold.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAh2FedRETx4
He stiffned. "Did you say this was The Tower of Focus?"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAS391ucaA88
"Yes."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAgLNMEcCttJ
"If we don't leave this tower by sundown we will be stuck in here permanently. This is one of three of the Old ones towers. Anyone that tallys too long will gradually have all energy drained. At sundown its doors lock and the windows disappear."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAr4ehOsa87I
The glare from the sun was now half its current size.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAhTBONIKpeQ
"I'd say it's twilight we have a half hour of Civil twilight before it fully sets."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAW3Z9RPQsWu
Civil twilight?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAFkIGgssEkb
They sprinted down the stairs teo at a time. Han bounded down several at a time, his tail swinging back and fourth and reached the bottom first.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAXKVs8jFvxu
The long shadows that sprayed across the white walls were angular and thin, they move at random angles as she followed.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANA5WAtPnqG0R
A monotone melody played downstairs dampened by the distance, sharpening as they descend.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAsOnkELUv6u
A child like giggle raised the hairs on her arms.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAKkrg5eeTTP
"Do you hear that?
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAvnOsLfmzxH
Han's ears rotated back and fourth.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAynpAyRRXXv
"Yes, it's coming closer what ever it is."
1095Please respect copyright.PENANApDI3QZjv2z
A small figure streaked out the corner of her eye.
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAB7V1Ylmcky
"What the hell was that?"
1095Please respect copyright.PENANAbaHcZeNdU0
