Ki-Lang nodded,"Where in the castle do you think he is?""....I would think he's in the dungeon..." Andy started to walk out of the alley, but then turned around,"Stay close. You'd be surprised how many weirdoes are around here." Ki-Lang walked up to him and grabbed his hand,"Never let go." Andy smirked,"Not a problem." He started down the street, weaving and avoiding everyone. There were a lot of people out in the streets, trying to sell things and making weapons. It took what seemed forever, but they were finally toward the front of the castle.

"Hmm..." Andy walked around to the one side of the castle."I think we can get in through there." he pointed to a window near the grass."I'll go first." he walked over to the window, silently opened it, then jumped down. Ki-Lang walked forward, cautiously,"Come on. I'll catch you." Ki-Lang walked to the window and jumped down, he did catch her,"Told you." He set her on her feet and then walked forward in the darkness, his hand still attached to hers. There was a small creak, and they stepped through a doorway. There were a bunch of rusty cells, but only one of them had a person in them."Who's there, who's there, who's there, who's there?!" The person repeated again and again. They walked to the cell, the person jumped to the front of the cage,"Pretty girl, pretty girl, pretty girl, pretty girl." Ki-Lang looked over at Andy and then back to the cell,"Where's Franky?""Franky, Franky, Franky, Franky taken.""By who?""Prettty girl want to know, pretty girl want to know?" It didn't take long for them to figure out that this guy was crazy. Ki-Lang nodded."Franky taken, Franky taken, Franky taken to DIE!!!!" The guy let out a crazy laugh and then jumped back into the corner of is cell. Andy turned toward a staircase and headed up it."What did that guy mean?""Just what you think. They're going to kill him. We'll have to get there before he dies."

(Sorry, my step-dad stole the computer.... )

(Lol. So photobucket isn't working?)

"So, why isn't the boss giving you off?""He said something like we had to kill some ingrate tomorrow.""Where'd he get 'em?""That one upsetting town. Let me tell you the boy is weird. He has obsidian black hair but his eyes are as blue as sapphires.""Think they're real?""I dunno. We can always check after he's dead." Andy kept his hand clamped against Ki-Lang's mouth as they pressed against a wall, hiding from the two people walking down the hallway."They're talking abuot Franky..." Andy murmured softly to himself, Ki-Lang heard him. She strained her ears to hear them. For some reason, this building structure made it difficult to hear. Once the guards were out of sight, Andy looked around the corner, making sure no one else was coming. He let go of Ki-lang and looked around the castle."Franky will die tomorrow?""Yeah. We have until then. Unfortunately, they didn't say when. We should look for him tonight. Better start now, this place is pretty freakin' huge."

(Huh. It's raining here too, but the internet has yet to go out.)

((Everyone can use Arwen's new 'boyfriend', just don't kill him, or like make him evil, anything like that. ))

Arwen was still staring at the ground, she would look at anything but Ian, apparently he was doing the same. Arwen suddenly giggled, and laughed slightly, then Ian started to laugh, and they were both laughing, until Arwen said,"ANYWAYS...." They both straightened up, Ian actually looked over at her, Arwen didn't look away. "Uh, why were we laughing?" Ian asked, Arwen shrugged. "I guess I was laughing because of the awkward silences.....You?" "Laughter is contagious." he replied with a slight smirk, Arwen grinned, and stood up. "We should get going, I need to find my way back to our camp area...." she trailed off, and looked over at him. "So, where were you the whole time, when we thought both of us were dead, after the Elven kingdom was destroyed?" Ian paused for a moment, the replied,"My family and I managed to ecape, and we went to a far-of town, hidden well, with a lot of magical protection around it, we lived there for a while....Recently, the town was attacked by....Uh...I forget his name, starts with the letter 'Z'..." Arwen could feel her stomach flip. "Zurn?" she asked, hesitating to say the name, Ian nodded. "Yeah, Zurn, that was it....He attacked the town, and we barely escaped. My dad was killed, the rest of my family fled to another town...That one on the mountains, that the guards suggested." "How come I didn't see you, when I was at that town? I lead all the Elves down the mountain..." Arwen said, frowning, Ian shrugged. "I was probably somewhere else at the time, I don't know...." They both fell silent again, Arwen just stared at the ground as they walked. They both tensed up, at the sound of some bushes rustling nearby, Arwen whipped out her bow before Ian had time to react. They both waited to see who was coming towards them....Arwen raised her bow, but then stopped once she heard Alrya's voice,"Put that down, it's just me!"

Arwen shrugged, and put her bow back in her quiver, Alrya was staring at Ian. "I thought you were killed?" "We all did." Arwen said dryly, rolling her eyes. She looked over at Alrya,"How'd you find us? I was lost on that trail forever..." "My path was easier, I guess. It just had a lot of walking, then I ended up here." Alrya replied, looking around the battlefield. "What happened here?" "I don't know. I kind of stumbled upon this place, --seriously--, I don't know what happened. Most of them are some of our people...." Arwen trailed off, tears in her eyes, she quickly wiped them away; Ian was staring at her, with a concerned look on his face, Arwen didn't want him to be worrying about anything. They were all silent, until Arwen said,"I think I may be able to teleport us back. I can feel more of my magic returning, it should work." Ian and Alrya nodded, Arwen stpped back, and was deep in thought for a moment. "The teleportation spell....Right, I think I remembered it." she said, and held out her hands, Ian quickly grabbed her hand, Arwen blushed furiously, her hair turned about the same shade of pink, she hoped nobody would notice that she was embarassed. Arwen looked around,"Alrya? Where'd you go?" No response, Arwen frowned. Ian walked away into the woods, then raced back after a minute,"Come on, let's just get out of here!" he said, Arwen was confused. "What's the rush? You weren't so tense a minute ago." "That guy, Zurn's here!" Ian explained, Arwen widened her eyes. "What about Alrya? He'll kill her, we can't leave her behind!" "Yeah, and he'll kill us, too, now let's get going!" Arwen hesitated, but then gave in. She sighed, and started to recite the spell, her hands started to glow, Ian grabbed one of her hands, there was a flash of blue light, and they both vanished. The next moment, they were both slammed onto the ground, at the camp area. Arwen excitedly jumped up, even though every bone in her body was aching like crazy. "The camp!" was all she could say, Ian just nodded, and got up, dusting dirt off his clothes. Arwen laughed a bit, for some reason, and swayed slightly in place, Ian stared at her. "You OK?" he asked, Arwen gulped, and nodded, feeling really weird and light-headed. "I'm fine....I'm just hungry, I need to eat something, before I start to hallucinate again." "Wait right here, I'll be right back!" Ian dashed off into the woods, Arwen had a strong temptation to shout, 'Don't leave me!' but then decided that it would be a little too weird for her to say, it was too unlike her. She just sighed, and sat down on the ground, waiting for any of her friends to return. It was nearly midnight, they had been gone all day, Arwen was starting to get annoyed...

Arwen opened one eye, and nodded. She had been resting, until Ian got back. Arwen yawned, and stretched her arms. "If you guys don't have any exciting adventures to share, then I'll have to share mine, because I've been waiting here all day..." she trailed off, when she saw Ian walking out of the woods, carrying some fruit. He dropped them onto Arwen's lap, she smiled slightly. "Thanks." Ian just nodded, and walked away, to go sit in a tree. Arwen stared after him, gazing at him. She then realized then realized that Ki-Lang was standing next to her, Arwen came back to reality,"Hm? Oh, did you say something?" she knew that her friends had just gotten back, but didn't exactly take in the thought. Arwen looked over at Ian again,"Ian! Come and meet my other friends!" she called, he shrugged and walked back towards them. Arwen quickly got up, blushing slightly, her hair turned silver once Ian stopped on front of her. "Uh....These are my friends..." Arwen stammered, she fell silent, and looked away, then over at Ki-Lang. "You guys...Can introduce yourselves, I'm gonna go see Saphira and Athora..." Arwen quickly dashed over to Saphira, before anyone could do or say anything. Ian gave Arwen a bit of a weird look as she left, but then shrugged it off.

((Site was down....))

Arwen scowled darkly at Ki-Lang, but just rolled her eyes. Arwen looked over at Ian again, he was talking to Ryan. "He reminds me of Aron....This whole time, I thought Ian was dead...." Arwen mumbled, then shrugged. She picked up Athora,"Let's go prank someone, I need to get my mind on something else..." Arwen said, Athora excitedly squirmed around, and jumped down, then dashed off into the woods, Arwen followed behind her, she didn't want everyone to know that she liked Ian, but it was already obvious. Saphira gave a small snort, and smirked, looking over at Ian. "Arwen always did like him, she was just too shy to admit it. They both were. Now hopefully, once he's her boyfriend, he won't try to lure her to Zurn, Zurn would probably love to possess Ian, and use him as an excuse to capture Arwen....It's one of Zurn's favorite techniques, he gets onto the mind of people that Arwen loves, --usually relatives-- and then uses them as little puppets to get to her. Arwen probably likes Ian too much to realize this, though. For now, though, let's just hope Ian is actually normal." Saphira laughed slightly, shaking her head.

A few minutes later, Arwen walked out of the woods, muttering angrily about something, she had cuts all over her arms, legs and face. "Stupid Marsells and their tranquilizers, how was I supposed to know each and every one of them was carrying one..." Arwen huffed angrily, and leaned against a tree, Ian started to walk towards her, Arwen was about to say that she was perfectly fine, until she noticed Franky and Andy. Arwen frowned slightly, and stepped towards them, eyeing them suspicously. "Who are you?" Arwen sounded more annoyed, rather than confused or curious. Arwen stepped back slightly, and gave an unsatisified hiss. "Whatever, I don't need to know, I just need to find those damn Marsells again, and rip them apart....Ian, want to come?....Ian?" Arwen looked around, a bit confused. "Where'd he go?" she asked, still looking around for him. Arwen shrugged,"More kills for me." She took out her bow, and smirked crookedly, laughing slightly.
