Merryn opened the door a little. Maxwell again. Somehow, he always managed to show up. How did he keep finding them? There were no mages in his party, at least none that looked like one.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAYBZHXbC737
Footsteps from behind.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA4cwVDNeytQ
"They will kill you; why don't you com-" Parcival placed his hands on hers.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAn3h9g0EjmQ
"Then what? They'll burn this town to ashes looking for me."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAZVC6GhRjsT
She took her hands out of his. Did he really care, or was there another reason? She wrapped her pouch's ties around her fingers tightly.
797Please respect copyright.PENANABK6ndKhUQm
She rubbed her arm. How am I to follow Olenus' teachings if-? There wasn't any other choice.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAuVKew1QoCk
Parcival's palms smacked the tabletop.
797Please respect copyright.PENANATv9BM0fR10
"Takes only one hit from those spears of theirs, and you will be afflicted with the poison, paralyzed, waiting for a slow death when your heart explodes hours later."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAeP8q3n5sXo
She flinched.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAOV9qENgknW
"He won't be able to touch me, much less injure me. You forget who you're dealing with, human," she huffed. She glared at him. Insulting is what it was. Losing to a human?
797Please respect copyright.PENANA0RKBHURsH7
"Do you know nothing of the Elven?"
797Please respect copyright.PENANAbSm8QH7CpE
The hairs on her arms bristled, and she fought down a darkness, a darkness all her own. Can't let it win. It's bad enough the god had piggybacked, but to have to deal with what the dark spirits had placed?
797Please respect copyright.PENANAxMxAbYnBHu
"I admit my studies are lacking when it comes to your people, but only because they refuse to share much of their history and culture."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAvUd6NsO0IG
A pained expression crossed his face; it was at odds with his words.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAMAlmMZ0oaH
"If you like, I could tell you a little, sometime?"
797Please respect copyright.PENANA8TwCeV6hox
It was strange caring about this; everything inside was a warped mess. Have been hanging around with the man too long. Is this the weakness mother tried to explain? She scowled.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAZODb145adK
"Would you? I mean, it would be most interesting to learn about your history; so little is known."
797Please respect copyright.PENANADr0wSQIJAy
His face took on that look only young kids had and in his eyes, a spark kindled for just a minute. A smile played on her lips. His mood was Infectious. Hea.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAVoALs5VKyS
If you get too soft people will die. Remember, he's out there.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA4tRThr3YRI
It was something she wanted to bring back often. Everything they'd told her about humans just didn't fit, to how he this one acted. She bit the inside of her cheek. It brought back some measure of control.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAQzo4LH5UYs
Get a hold of yourself now.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAYe3XY36I2U
Reality sucked rotten hog hanks as Maxwell's voice lanced from outside. There were no joys not for me.
797Please respect copyright.PENANATh89NTNWj2
"I want no mistakes, this time, understand? Capture them both and burn the town to the ground!"
797Please respect copyright.PENANARoXrXb4Xya
It was hard to see through the tiny carved window.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAUKflSFjOJL
The Nekhawk circled the church above, swooping down. It landed on Maxwell's shoulder. Its tentacles curled upwards as it preened a wing. Not that thing again.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAkgvhtNdcDR
Maxwell faced his men. They all nodded. They spread out, each standing by a house with an unlit torch in hand.
797Please respect copyright.PENANADMt17o23eC
"Let me go out there. A woman should not do this. This is absurd!"
797Please respect copyright.PENANArdDgPf2B6d
He held both her arms with both of his hands.
797Please respect copyright.PENANANEwxTEFLzm
"You're not going out there."
797Please respect copyright.PENANA69h4KBphcD
"Let go, now." They never said not to knock them unconscious.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAo3LTUQqSb9
"You shouldn't have to do this ..." He breathed in several short, shallow breaths.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAT7UgrbU0dV
She suppressed a smile. He really didn't know? The naivety was refreshing.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAln43BxuYQv
The vines on her back warmed then turned hot. They worked in deeper. She backed up slowly to the wall. Dizzy again. Sounds took longer to understand.
797Please respect copyright.PENANACkl8nZV2XW
The vines under the skin of her neck moved up; they tapped repeatedly at the back of her skull. She clawed at the vines and shrieked.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA1g0jvw5vKp
Resisting makes it harder. Like it or not, this is happening. The side effects are unfortunate.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAycHyCngWfU
Everything had a haze to it as if a bad dream she couldn't quite shake off.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAYwh8d5AbPm
"You need to recover more. Go lay down. I'll take care of this." He held out his hand.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAkdYjfQcBP7
She moved to him. A pinched expression strained his face.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAIlE1SDg3Dl
Before she could ask him who he was, a voice in her mind interrupted her.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAKlOL5RUpIm
Pretend you know him. Say nothing.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA7JIzFcHe4K
This voice. She held her head in her hands. A vague memory surfaced. An image of an energy field. A yellow stone? Ah, a crystal, it turned dark then went away. The ache that came with it didn't.
797Please respect copyright.PENANApELiv9imvv
She rubbed her forehead and breathed a ragged breath. "You may be right."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAvyMPvI3gkj
"Your face is flushed." He came over and reached out.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAjroqspmYpz
She bent away. Now wasn't the time for this. Need a clear head.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAMhr6q4emPk
"You don't have to go out there."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAr8GhLoSlwY
Out? should I?
797Please respect copyright.PENANAF6sJjAL8Qs
You decided in the name of peace to dispose of Maxwell.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAMeWjAJD1xu
Destroy? Peace, what was this? Let me wake up! The warmth cooled, and her scalp prickled. She shook her head as a rush pricked over her scalp. A thought in the back if her mind, it fluttered out of grasp. Listen to the man or a creepy voice. Both options sucked.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAEZOyegghqO
"Let me help." The man stood in front, his eyebrows raised.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAIaYNPIAV6z
This one sucked less. Did he have the other? 797Please respect copyright.PENANAi6GrUS6ALX
Yes, let him take care of Maxwell. It's time to go home. Do you remember?797Please respect copyright.PENANAvfNPIIekkT
But you just said not to. Who are you?
797Please respect copyright.PENANAoInsZVuETg
I changed my mind. Do as I say.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAXx9Q4z76b0
Another rush. A broken image of a dry wasteland, its sky dark, broken by lighting. This was home?
797Please respect copyright.PENANAlItYheo3qO
Yes. You must get there.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAVkVZS1BdEV
Who are you?
797Please respect copyright.PENANAOKe5ecGMn8
A friend. His thoughts were syrupy and thick in nature.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAh6VEWzx8xU
Rings of smoke tickled her nose. A cat man sat reserved puffing his pipe. His ears turned back.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAlFMbhDjSVf
In the Undergod's name! She backed up as he grew closer. Would it eat her?
797Please respect copyright.PENANAsFvO8d2XK7
"You're looking ill."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAgN2flZgS9D
The strange blue-eyed man was suddenly close to her face! She scrambled; her back pressed to a wall. He looked at her, then at Han. His brows rose and then crinkled.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAENWwU5Ky6T
"Remember when you found her in the rafters?"
797Please respect copyright.PENANAizHnZbdbGr
The cat-man breathed in a deep, fearsome breath; his teeth poked out.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAueS8b2N9mS
"The infection seems to have an adverse effect on her. It would be wise to get her to stay in here."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAdpA7LZxjXx
He pushed the chair next to the table, picked up a necklace with beads on it, and put it around his neck.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAX6lb8ffqvj
She edged towards the door as they talked. Where's Dad? Where the hell is this? Have to get back home; a pulling from within towards the sea and beyond called.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA7JmIjamCT1
"Don't go out there!" the cat-man said.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAGfyO2XdBpo
No, let them take care of it.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAJCtc4lU5eP
You're crazy; make up your mind! Could the others hear this voice? No, of course not, they'd say something.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAfXmdwwDrYz
Nobody tells me to shut up. You ... it trailed off, quiet.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAwGAt4ucnjH
"Where is the disgusting Elven? Send her out now, or I'll burn this town!"
797Please respect copyright.PENANAb1AuihaRc2
Hoofbeats resound outside.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAEKJSVZDzxR
Through the window slit many men passed.
797Please respect copyright.PENANANDwKH7e24J
She edged closer to the door, gripped the steel door handle, and took in a deep breath.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAjiotlfPA3K
Several doors slammed outside as the panicked people ran into their homes.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAtNwaQfKQx0
"You have no right to threaten our town, you filthy bugbear!" the old woman yelled and shook her hands at Maxwell.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA347txzJZaA
"Hold your tongue, woman, or I'll cut it off."
797Please respect copyright.PENANA1DBFeL8n9r
The blue-eyed man came out of the church then stood in front of the old woman.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAeLKt9OUsBB
"You will not."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAE6T3ikN3pf
Grabbing the handle, she yanked it open and went down the steps.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAbS50RdKIms
"Leave her alone," Marryn said in a tight, baneful voice.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAfApGrNcSwZ
Defying me? For what, a wrinkled raisin of a woman?
797Please respect copyright.PENANA1hILwNyfEu
Do you ever stop talking, spirit?
797Please respect copyright.PENANAo4z5zd77n7
The old woman ran into her house and slammed the door. The already empty streets grew even quieter, if that was even possible.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAXc66wHZNUs
The blue-eyed man came over.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAz3WPwCR4RE
"No, get out of here."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAtjBXZffi3R
She pointed at the road. "Go."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAHHicSlrPuI
"I will not. You know exactly why."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAmqya0gaSBE
He straightened then pushed her behind, sword drawn.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAVhiVxRUKIN
"Go back inside. I don't need your help." Fourteen harpy hells, this man was vexing.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAEB6mlasGpv
Maxwell. I know him. As for the others the names were fuzzy. Negative energy came off him, comparative to a squall ready to blow through anything in his path. Clenched teeth and face taunt, he pulled the spear off his back ,dashing with it.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ireb3UAsn
She shoved the blue-eyed man out of the way.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAMdZA5Xx3RE
With little time to think, much less react, she swerved out of the way. She stumbled and caught her balance.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAtpWPUzCqmi
The armored man wrapped a hand around the hilt of his sword.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA8dV40xrJW2
The cat man grabbed his hand and shook his head. He motioned the other man to move back over to the church.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAv2Yt2pIyg1
The headache faded; all came to focus. One minute it seemed she was in the church talking with Parcival, and then in another, facing Maxwell. What was going on here? The vines relaxed, and her clarity returned.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAUtsaL0NVpy
She turned her head pleading with her eyes, don't.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAY1BYYOwdrX
Parcival's arm fell to his side, and his fists clenched. "This is all wrong." He went down the church steps, hesitated, and followed Han.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAchYCf1R2nG
He spun around then lunged forward a few steps. His brows had knit together with his lips drawn. He gripped the sword's scabbard so tightly the leather grip squeaked. So protective, why?
797Please respect copyright.PENANAwcyqQslOuc
Han shook his head. "Let it be. He's a king's guard."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAsHWPENml2u
"The law? You mean his law." Parcival spat onto the ground.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAT0dndaHk4a
"Are you trying to get us all killed?" Han yanked on his arm.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAGLtidDux29
Maxwell turned towards them. "I'll deal with you later."
797Please respect copyright.PENANADdUa86oo4p
Then focused on her, she let go of a breath she was holding. He ran towards her and lunged. The blade of the spear clanged against her blades.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAeBoNqUPsCM
She avoided the same fate to her neck, by craning away a fraction faster. Have to get out of here. Am way over matched. What to do? There's so little time. The way back to the road was open. Could just vanish now; that last loss of spiritual energy was the worst to happen this week.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAadiSqAQ1Cc
She backed up into what she assumed was a lamp post. I want to go home, back to the temple.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAuVKgwLWSIB
As do I. Shut off the inner waterfall already. It's fight or die.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAtyuNHSmqXu
I really, really, really hate you.
797Please respect copyright.PENANADGnwWULsOo
Never should have opened my prison then.
797Please respect copyright.PENANADB8SHCwYsr
She pushed up against the lamp post, standing tall. It helped shore up some courage or at least bravo.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAJBsNuZLYMh
She hissed at Maxwell and lunged at him. Gah, just go away.
797Please respect copyright.PENANABRqBHVHr7i
"Your corpse on a funeral pyre would look pretty, and such a fitting entrance to the Underworld."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAjacxsWS5Zt
She shrunk back and tried to edge away. The answer left a keen pang in her stomach.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAkC3ldG1G2O
He spun the spear in the air and aimed at her head again. Great, just great! Her pulse quickened, and her breathing faster. That was way too close.
797Please respect copyright.PENANATKz5hwGpAD
Maxwell held it with both hands, now, as he attempted to land a massive blow to her skull.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAifAL9U3SZH
She gripped the post with both hands, twisted in mid-air and swung around, and let go. Both blades crossed in front of her.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAqPVX2cbpg3
"I don't want to fight. Leave me alone, now!"
797Please respect copyright.PENANAxfehCaTkZu
"You say one thing and act in another. All is irrelevant. You'll pay for what you did. If you want to make it easy for me then, go ahead."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAbwf8ET8zh8
He jumped back, his arms out for balance, and then lunged forward with the spear. She ran around a large flower pot, jumping onto the eaves of a house. His spear hit behind her; several roof pottery tiles shattered.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAakLtToUmmg
As he came closer, she kicked at him. It didn't phase him. He closed the distance and twirled the spear above his head. It whirred in the air. She cried out and backed away into a wall.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAdkS4wmpBn4
All I want is to help. Let me take over for a while.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAJAG0YaVoCU
Don't want your kind of help.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAz40fJ9KqZ0
She ran at Maxwell with her blades crisscrossed and aimed for his neck. I won't lose to a human.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAAEmFHuB5LH
He is mine, as are you. Let me stop him. Give me control.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAPfhBukgOnd
Go away.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAhhapiaR25T
She clenched and unclenched a dagger handle, while tracking Maxwell's movements. There had to be some way to stop him.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAWeAxyTZymZ
"So close, yet once again, you missed the mark!"
797Please respect copyright.PENANA4lzmpIL8dr
He backed and parried. His muscles bulged as he pushed down on the blades.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAOsoHjHbZLC
She fought against letting loose the hungry ancient heart contained within, threatening to boil over and consume the last gossamer thread left of control.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAgmT7Xma9li
Listen to the call, the blood of your enemy dripping from your blade. The sound of shattered of bones, the pure glory of the kill. Your people were once great warriors, now infected with compassion and peace. Don't deny your true self.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAvfYKvI6Yau
No wonder they locked you away. She squeezed her fist as the blood call gnawed under the surface. Shut up!
797Please respect copyright.PENANAtsaQ3aKeBw
His spear clashed amid the blades. He pushed down, sending a spray of sparks erupting into the air.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAeqssUBWliO
The day grew hotter and pushed down on her, almost as much as Maxwell.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAfXEBSNKQXo
He looked down at her. "Why do you fight me? Accept your death with grace! I was not the one who slaughtered thousands of people that day! Or, are you just uncaring?"
797Please respect copyright.PENANAEIln7gpjpJ
"That isn't-"
797Please respect copyright.PENANAGb533ljtn3
His words heavier than any spear.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAN7XPI0mjgE
Let me out, now or die.
797Please respect copyright.PENANApKxh5CR4yH
Be quiet!
797Please respect copyright.PENANAWcB9hKN2Kk
Maxwell pushed her down to her knees.
797Please respect copyright.PENANADBnYdnNaBN
How can he grin right now? Her arms burned with the effort of moving the spear tip away from her neck.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAJvOWKAxCi4
The armored man dashed forward, then pointed his sword at Maxwell's head.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAcv0ZHIpFZT
Maxwell looked at him, his eyes but slits. A darkness formed over Parcival. He dropped his sword onto the grass. He slumped down on the ground and collapsed.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAuPy87hWrjk
"Get back." Sweat dripped down her forehead and off her nose.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA9epHEsiBOQ
Parcival's face peaked, and his lips whitened. He clamped his mouth shut. His eyes glazed, and he drew in a breath through his teeth. His legs twitched violently, and his eyes rolled back into his head, showing the white undersides.
797Please respect copyright.PENANARdZisHlUlB
"He's innocent; let him go," she said.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAnqDfDuHYeE
Maxwell grounded his teeth, snarling. "Go home, fledgling."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAMwVCEx1mzy
Han grabbed Parcival by the arm and dragged him away.
797Please respect copyright.PENANANZDUgKM5Ok
He focused on her, once again; he struck the spear down hard near her heart. It took all her concentration to hold the god at bay.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAZnjK1vOuft
With each breath, she drew in the spear, inching ever closer to her heart. She let go, freeing one hand, while keeping the spear away from her neck with the other. Her other hand slipped out a throwing dagger she hid under her back armor. She slashed at his hands and cut a deep gash on the top of it.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAzPldUUhc00
Blood ran down his arm in a stream; the smell of it filled the air with a sharp metallic smell.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA8RBH4QnhEQ
She ran at him, again and tried to stab his bare chest.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAC8lHKnkQMn
He pushed away from the dagger with the sword hilt. "What are you smiling about? Stop it, I say!" he said.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAWBO9tarP6N
An instant later, he stepped back. Smiling? Since when is a grimace a smile? Idiot.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAcLvt8CjDms
Maxwell's head jerked back, and he sucked in a breath. Before she could move away, he backed up, then twirled around and landed a lucky strike that clobbered her shoulder.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA20A9hG5lsz
She tried to get way as he hammered down on her with the blunt end of the spear. It was all she could do to protect her head with her arms.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAekCuEuoJZO
"Stop this!" A shuffling of feet.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAcAcKL9nPJV
"You want more pain, Paladin?"
797Please respect copyright.PENANAfYzrMBnKnJ
Moving was was painfull, she staggered and fell.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAwL0K0GqmnI
Han closed his eyes and turned around.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAgLcgy4VMeu
"I hate her more, than I fear you," Maxwell said. "I don't fear you much, cub."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAb9ies6mXWF
Parcival ran at him.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAdpW2ofCTXG
Han slammed into his knees, knocking him down.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAvWVH3NLkT8
"He will kill you; ignore the taunts."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAUiKEUs5wvC
Maxwell smiled at this then bent down. His eyes narrowed to a thin bright line that flashed across the edges. He whispered a spell and held his hand close to her face.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAUaNKUMzcYL
The pain was immediate; it wracked through her body. She pushed her nails onto the top of her arm and tried not scream. Only the weak screamed.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAJyVIQmDJgl
Standing above her, his deranged smile broke into a fissure from the corners of his lips and pulled up his cheeks. He held his spear in both hands, thrusting it for the moral strike. She glared, unflinching.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAu2QjpIFJix
Parcival dashed into Maxwell and struck his leg, slashing a deep cut through the cloth robe. They went rolling onto the ground.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAFE3NehWCIy
Maxwell stood first then punched Parcival in the nose, stunning him. Tears came out of Parcival's eyes, and he cupped his nose, moaning.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAW6uO6jCX2N
Limping, Maxwell slowly backed away then jumped onto his horse as he signaled to the others to follow him.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA1BUItCManv
Casting his gaze at her. "We will finish this later."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAdOoiarSiVC
Then to Parcival. "You think I'm the evil one? Ask her. Ask her what she's done."
797Please respect copyright.PENANApkAQdhOyLd
Dust filled the air as he and his men faded from view.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAgiJeXOLVsd
"What in heaven's name is going on with you?" Parcival asked.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAKc5JwM3YED
Come home to me vessel. They'll never accept you.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAHNQxgVjfKC
Don't care.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAb9Dp6rT2iN
You're lying to yourself. Come home. They can't give you the peace that I can.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAjdckULm4bz
With that, the vines pulled back into her body.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAngtmcEtYn3
" ..... " She closed her eyes. If it thinks I'll cry it's mistaken.
797Please respect copyright.PENANArEDWxyFgJf
Han arched an eyebrow at her. His ears perked up. "Hum."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAmPEwaaOJmv
Han stepped over to Parcival, putting his hand on his nose, then closed his eyes and whispered a prayer. His hands glowed white.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA6MOaAGKazI
She watched the plume of dust. What if next time-there was little point thinking about it. Do the job and get it done; little else mattered. Her chest tightened again.
797Please respect copyright.PENANACcv2j49Xbv
She went over to him. "Thank you."
797Please respect copyright.PENANAdk6j7Gkwrh
He nodded. Before he could say anything, she quickly hugged him and let go.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAs4S3zXuBNG
"I need some time alone. I'll meet up with you both later," she said.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAxaktiGXrk7
"I'll be at the Library they have here. It's not the largest I've seen, but it should be adequate," Parcival said.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA4qpljKcaYL
She looked over to Han.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAz6C8WVP14r
"And you?"
797Please respect copyright.PENANASe783lLTpe
"After this day, I think a good stout drink is in order."
797Please respect copyright.PENANACPXIicdh7G
He lit his pipe, turned about towards the town's only inn.
797Please respect copyright.PENANADOOwdVJgRz
I better not. Her mind spun with everything that had gone on lately.
797Please respect copyright.PENANApgtqYhZKoK
She mulled around town, touching fabrics and munched an apple.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAIXiGtfSBWY
Behind a broken fountain, a hiss.
797Please respect copyright.PENANA1kdMyL8W7z
She inspected it. Nothing was there. Need sleep. A good long sleep fixed most things.
797Please respect copyright.PENANAk92EJlJSuB
Her arms and legs had a mild tremor to them. She rubbed them while walking.
