You’re already cooking up some <span class="mu-s">HELLFIRE</span> when a familiar pair of big yellow eyes shine through the gloom behind your new opponent!
“Ah. That’s where you ran off to.”
Haalsti whips around just in time to catch a blow to the face that puts his spell on hold indefinitely, and as the speedy sorcerer stumbles to the floor, his attacker follows with a flurry of blows!
You and the gang watch Morook wail on the miniscule mage for a few minutes both out of silent respect and genuine awe. The sound of each punch reverberates through the hall like someone open-palm slapping a piece of baloney in a church, and it’s only after a few minutes giving your would-be attacker the proverbial ‘works’ that the ranger looks up to address you!
“Welcome back, Anton. Glad to see you’re okay.”
Errr, h-him as well, you reply as you steal a stunned glance at his half-sister behind you! Is everything okay on this floor? The Chytree answers with a shrug.
“I certainly hope so. I left Oti to assist Miss Lutza’s entourage with <span class="mu-r">SIXFACE’S</span> secondmost powerful assassin, but-
The wall adjacent to you <span class="mu-i">ERUPTS</span> like a volcano as a charred <span class="mu-i">something</span> comes crashing through with a few chunks of burning rubble! Through the newly-bored hole you spot Oti’s glowing green eyes alongside Joplin’s–the two mages huffing and puffing while the Tiito Triplets form a body barrier around their fuzzy employer!
“Looks like they’re done.”
“We can only hope so…” Oti grumbles as he floats through the hole over to you. “You’re alive. Good. That little stunt you pulled had me questioning your sanity.”
You can’t help but frown at that. What, does he mean when you went to your meeting? And where the Hell is TT anyways?
“He means when you rushed in to take her somewhere safe!” Toppel explains as she leans against a sighing Oti. “Is your memory <span class="mu-i">THAT</span> bad?”
Took her somewhere safe?! You can already feel the tiny tendrils of panic start to burrow into your head as the question leaves your lips! Wh-huh!?
“Don’tcha remember, Rook?” Volka asks as she playfully slaps your shoulder out of its socket, “It was a little after the attacks started–you scurried over trembling like a totta and practically dragged the poor thing outta’ here!”
“Yea, you looked real pathetic.” Rezzie helpfully adds. “Moreso than usual, now that I think about it!”
“It… DID seem a bit odd, yes…” The soft voice heralds Lutza’s approach through the suite’s new entrance–the starlet’s eyes wide with worry! “But before we could protest you’d already spirited her away…”
Cool, you huff as reality builds a wall around you and starts to close in, so what if you told everyone that <span class="mu-i">WASN’T</span> you who took TT away?
>CONTD.
