(OOC: Continued from "The Scrolls Of Bruin" in Otherlands) *Tom, Midnight, Zeph, Diana & Malark haveing emerged from the water tunnle they had used to escape from the Cave system in The Rocks Of Bruin, now found themselves plumeting towardsa a water pool far below.* " OH MY GIDDY AUNT" *Tom cried out.* " SPELLCASTING" " F...L..O..A...T" *Just in time the spell took effect and the band of freinds decent slowed down to the speed of a fether falling to earth. They landed safly and silently in the water below.* "Phew thanks hevens for that." *Tom sighed in relife as he looked around.* "I do belive we are on the south side of Dunnfalls. This Pool is the one that leads of towards Goth or more precicsly The Sewers Of Goth. Wolfenden Village is back that way to the north So this forrest we see here in front of us must be the boundry between The Forest Of Dun & Greenshades."

*Midnight smiled slightly and began to head for shore, dragging the box with the eagle mark with Malark somewhat cheekily sat on top of it looking very confused scratching his head with a claw. Water dripped down Midnight's face her hair and clothes soaked. The clothes somewhat stuck to her like a second skin. She reached the shore and collapsed taking deep breaths and allowing her heartbeat to return to a normal pace. After several minutes of regaining the much valued oxygen and far too few minutes rest she sits up and looks around the pool and waterfall. Taking another deep breath and a very strong inhale using her panther instincts as much as possible she tries to smell out any other dangers but there was none...only the very faint smell of food somewhere quite a way off. The smell of food despite being so faint made her tummy grumble she was hungry. Food had become a rare thing for her recently, but for now it would have to wait until they could find some of their own. She looks over to Tom and smiles....*
Well after the geography lesson can you tell me where in the world Winteria is and how the hell we get there now?
*Even as she said that herself she winced, she hadn't actually meant to be sarcastic but the last few hours had taken it's toll on her and now all she wanted was Coriolis around. She actually missed the stripped cat. No matter how annoying he was. He was part of home and she knew vengence would not be possible on her own. She looks again over to Tom and see's his hurt look. She just about to apologise when a all too familiar noise fills the area..... not too far behind Tom and fastly approaching is the Alzan Assasin....*

*The Assasin was hovering just below the tops of the trees. It saw its pray at the edge of the pool and darted at them, hissing furiusly.*

*Tom saw the movment in the folege of the tree's a split second before the evil black mass burst threw the tree's into the clearing, hissing wildliy looking and sounding like a deamon striat out of the deepest pits of Hell.* "MOVE" *He cried out just in time, Midnight spun round and upon seeing the Assasin charging at her as though it were a bull jumped clear The Assasin sped right past her and colided with a rocky output.* *The Rocks glowed White hot the second The Assasin made contact and a split second later the rocks had turned to larvar, which fell into the pool of water. A great cloaud of steam rose up from the water as the lavar cooled and returned to rock as it came into contact with the water.* "Dam thing always knows were we are. Come On RUN." *The group scatred as Midnight with Malark and Tom ran one way and Zeph and Diana found cover amoug some bushes.* [ModNote: This is the last we hear of Zeriphel and Diana before their appearance in Wanted.]

*The Assasin was not harmed or detured by its colison with the rocks. It mearly turned around and took off after Midnight & Tom.*
*Quickly and expertly like the hunter that it was it had menuverd itself in front of them and waited for them around a bend in the path. There would be no escape this time.*

*Tom and Midnight rounded the bend and found them selves face to face with The Hissing Assasin. Malark quickly hid in the bushes neer by.*
"OH MY GIDDY AUNT. Out of the frying pan and in to the fire!!!"
*Tom said in a voice that was a mixture of panick and thoughtfullness Midnight guessed he was trying to figure out a solution to this problem.*

*Dust filled the air from the path with Midnight and Tom sliding to a stop. The Assasin seemed to leer at the pai and hiss through unseeable lips trying to drag the pair into it's tentacles. Midnight took a couple of slow steps backwards banging into Tom. In a whisper keeping her eye on what was appearing to be their eternal predater.*
Ok what do we do with it this time......?

[OCC: Hope nobody minds me entering, but the Brollachan has been somewhere in Dunfalls for a while. To catch up on what happened to him see 'The parting of clouds'. I'm not entirely sure if MidnightWolf is still with Broll or not]
*From within the cave where the Brollachan had been eating, he had recovered from the power of his regained knowledge. Concentrating deeply he sensed that others were now present within Dunnfalls, and he senses that not all are necessarily good.*
*To let his presence be known, instead of going out and questionning he lets out a deep booming roar. The roar lasts for less than 5 seconds, but is long enough as far the Brollachan is concerned.*

*Midnight jumps at the sudden noise from Brollachan. She briefly turns back and spies him but her attention is drawn back to the Alzan Assasin who seems nothing but angered by the unexpected but seemingly untroublesome wall monster. The Alzan Assasin hisses at the pair and stirkes out a tentacle at Midnight's throat. Aiming for the pretty blue light that had began to glow.......*

*Tom looks quickly to were the roar came from and then back to The Assasin.*
*Sighs*
"Only one thing for it."
*Befor she can react Tom grabs Midnight's Arms twisting one behind her back and holding the other tightly to her side. He pulls her back a few steps so she is pressed up against him and the tentical misses her.*
"ASSASIN?"
*He calls out.*
"I'll do you a deal. You can have the Watcher maiden, but you let me go. Hows that sound?"

*Midnight's eyes opened in fear, shock, horror and betrayal. Tom was going to turn her over just like that!! She was going to die here and by the hands of not just a Alzan creation but by someone she saw as a friend and trusted with her life. She tries to step hard on Tom's foot but misses badly and Tom increases pressure on her arm.* Tom!! How could you do this?!?! I thought we were friend's...you, you, you...... *Midnight finds any insult not bad enough to be worthy enough to throw at him....* You Alzan!!! *Midnight growls out the name, her tone angry and very, very hurt.* Coriolis was right....you Alzan's are all the same. Despite what you've learnt you'd rather kill me and escape then try and fight and possibly save us both.

*Tom mearly shrugs and says coldly*
"One dose what one must to survive"
*In Midnight's head*
"Honestly Midnight, do you actualy think that first off I would REALY sacrifice you to save my life and secondly I'm stupied enough to belive The Assasin would let me go even if I did? He'd kill me as well just as soon as you were dead."
"No no Midnight this is not a double cross but a Tripple Cross. Here take this."
*Tom relaese Midnight's hand that he teisted behind her back and quickly ratches in his pocket.*
*Midnight keeps her hand behind her back then feels Tom press a Bottle of some sort into it.*
"This Potion is a substance called Alzanian Fungus. A very powerfull organisam. When I push you towards The Assasin smash the bottle on it."
"The Fungus will eat away at the Assasin like rust on Metal and our Big Balck Blobby freind here will be no more."
"Ok?"

*Midnight looks to the Assasin and back to Tom.*
*In his head.*
Why the hell didn't you use this before...at the school?
*Midnight cleches hold of the bottle tightly and almost unnoticebly nods her head,*
