The Scroll of Bruin Rocks

Well that helps at least.

*Her tone is almost flat, emotionless and practically empty. Her mind was too focused on finding some of her past. The pulsing was getting stronger and a low humming had started in her ears. It seemed to echo round the corridor but Anthony appeared unbothered by it, as if he couldn't hear it.*

*As they carried the journey the way ahead would lighten and the darkness would follow them as the light passed. The humming and pulsing getting louder and more obvious. Midnight began to wonder if on finding what ever she was looking for she'd have enough energy to open it.*

I think were getting close....what ever it is...where ever it is...any Watcher is going to sense it, hear it..

*Midnight suddenly spied what appeared to be a colour difference in the wall upon touching the wall. That was only a shade or two different from the caves she felt the wall pulse under her hand and almost electrocute her. Causing her to flinch as if bitten.*

It's here.....

*Midnight glances very briefly at Anthony.*

No I'll be fine.

*The pulsing get's stronger, making her feel dizzy and unwell. She places her hand against the wall again and watches as the hand turns into a paw. With strength she doesn't really have she brings back her hand come paw and rams it into the wall. Feeling more and more dizzy as time passed and she got closer and closer to the past. Dust began to fill the part of the hall they were in. After a few punches each getting weaker than the next she breaks through and spies a box in the wall.*

*Touching the box the pulsing now becomes obvious to even Anthony as her hand shakes. Midnight sudden;y falls to the floor appearing weakened. Her paw now a hand again. Looking upto Anthony she see's him looking at her strangely.*

What's up?

*Midnight watches as the corridor seems to spin..faster and faster then Anthony's eye's become the centre of the world. She feel's her defenses begin to fall and fade into nothing, her will burning quicker than wood into smoke and being blown into the wind.*

Must obey....must obey....

*Her voice gradually grow's weaker and weaker as her mind loses the fight. Ever present is the pulsing and humming...the humming and the pulsing the two becoming like one for a moment. Her memories of her past flash through her mind. Watching the other Watcher's practice their fighting, watching her Mother sparring with a friend, watching herself spar against Coriolis...him almost winning...and only with wit and some sly trick did she win....she remembered what she was thinking at that point. When she almost lost...*

Must fight...must fight...must FIGHT!!!

*Closing her eyes briefly she cut's the eye connection with Anthony...just enough to shake off the feeling of not being herself anymore. Anger fuels her body and her blood begins to boil. Throwing herself at Anthony she brings him to the ground...*

I told you not to give any reason to kill you...but looks like you didn't hear me.....

*Unknown to Midnight her hands turn cold and Anthony suddenly looks scared and more than nervous. The coldness spreads, causing him to freeze, soon the only thing moving are his toes, fingers and eyes, but Midnight can't bring herself to finish the act she earlier declared...even for a Alzan her heart was soft. She backs away slowly as Anthony falls unconscious.*

(OCC: In no way is Anthony dead. He's just taking a nap. )


*Midnight backs away from Anthony. Silence fills the corridor....*

Silence....where's the humming gone?..where's the pulsing gone??

*Midnight shakes her head to clear away the anger and confusion. Her body grows stronger now the humming and pulsing was gone.She stood up slowly and carefully leaning against the wall to give her balance and strength. She reaches her hand into the hole she created and slowly with a lot of trouble takes the box out. On the lid was a engraved eagle for a moment Midnight thinks back to Master Kaylo. him betrayed by one of their own...*

Vengence will be ours...

*The eagle shimmers momentarily but when Midnight goes to open the box she finds it's some how locked. With no way to open it at present she takes it and heads back after the others...Leaving Anthony in the caves.*

*Midnight unaware of what disaster lay ahead rounded the corner at full speed and was looking behind her to check that the Frozen Alzan wasn't following when.....*

CRASH

THUD

*and three very loud SPLASHES*

*Minutes later three people emerge from the dark waters swimming along the surface, trying to find a ledge to climb onto or cave leading to freedom. Midnight looks around at the caves and shivers as she starts to cool within the waters. Turning to the other two with a sigh and throwing Malark a dirty look.*

Well any suggestions?

*Not in the best of moods Midnight get's angry and throws a dirty look at Tom.*

I would of been if I hadn't of been checking some Frozen Alzan wasn't behind us.

*Midnight looks for the box she had found. It was close to the edge of the pool bumping gently against the rocks.*

There we are.

*Swimming over to it she takes hold of a handle and suddenly feels water movement against her leg. Taking a deep breath she puts her head uder, she see's a hole placing her hand near it she feels the water try to draw her into the hole and away from the cave. Resurfacing she takes a deep breath before telling Tom and Zeph.*

I think I've found a exit...we can get out....the only problem is...who knows what lay's ahead. It could lead anywhere and maybe even to our death.
