A new beginning - an old enemy
Seonaed, Tagliente and Sheylanna followed Bob as he hoped up to Lord Nagafen. “Wake him. Uh, from the other side. Away from his mouth.”
Seonaed turned directions and told the red dragon to wake. A splurt of fire landed where she would have been standing and he turned to glare at her. “I HATE that spell.” He growled. “Dragons are the bones of this world, we know what is cast on us even if we cannot stop it.”
“Yes, yes,” Bob froaked, hopping up, “Bit more important though, do you have enough of that portal energy to send us through?”
Nagafen snorted, “Of course, but why would you wish to go?”
“Because Bertoxx still needs to be stopped,” Seonaed said in a small voice. “And I guess I better stop him.”
“You’ll have help.” Bob reassured the young warrior. “But we’ll have to hurry, none of you can eat or drink while time is stopped. Choose three more companions.”
It wasn’t hard to choose, she woke Kydaan who nearly bit her hand off, and then licked it in apology before loping over to his sister. She’d have to call him “Uncie Kydaan” a few times for revenge. She then woke Rassis and Keesa. They might not be “old world” but they were friends.
Keesa looked over her shoulder at Shanzule who had been crouched over her to take a spear thrust that had been meant for her. “He’ll be here when we get back.” Rassis grumbled, tugging his sister’s tail.
“I know.” Keesa whispered and then turned back to kiss a scaled cheek. “Just in case.” She then scurried to the group.
Nagafen waved a scaled claw over the seven, “Have a fun trip kiddies. Bring back something nice.”
Swirls of dark green and black energy surrounded them and took them away.
Nagafen settled down to wait. “Not that there’s anything nice to be found in Bertox’s fetid world of slime.” He pulled a book out of the pouch around his neck.
“They could have at least woken Vox for me.” He grumbled.
