Chapter 10 Knock Knock...

Jack and Xander take the unconscious lizard over to the wall and shackle him up. They then head out the door and head up the stairs. A little while later they here foot steps and what sounds like a lizard barking something. Tasen and Xander hear from the sound someone calling “Master, everyone down in the mess hall is ready, we await your orders.”

Xander Tasen, Wrathale, Reed, Bhass and Jack quickly and quietly as they can up the stairs. But with no luck they hear another Bark.

“Who’s There?” They then hear more footsteps and more until its apparent that what is ever behind them is running. But the sound seams louder that just one person.

They make it to the top room and slide back in… they then try to close the door. They close the door but it makes a Loud Scraping noise on the ground.

They then Barricade the door with jack and Xander pushing back on the door.

They here a loud Cry behind the door as it gets louder. Then the door shifts bang the door nudges open a little bit but they then hear a loud Noise like something being driven into the ground.

Tasen sees a Metal spike holding the door open a crack he also sees swords and hands trying to get through the Crack.

They all hear loud sreaming and roaring and then it stops.

Then they here it get even louder and the door Shoves open a little more and the same noise of something being driven into the ground there are now two spikes into the floor keeping the door open. One lizard slips through the door and charges at jack and Xander. But reed gets in its way be starts attacking.

Tasen runs up to the crack and starts trying to cut off arms and legs that are trying to get through. Wrathale pulls out his battleaxe and attempts to help Tasen.

They here the noise stop and Xander yells, “Here they come again!”
They here more Roaring and Screaming in the background the and they Door Swings open Xander says “Run!”

Everyone then Hops out the door mirror door.

Chapter 9 Lunch time!

Everyone then gathered by the door and readied them selves for what ever was going to happen. Tasen, Reed, Jack, Wrathale, Bhass and Xander all walked into the smoky fog area, Tasen was almost undetectable in the smoky fog due to him being so small and all you could see of him was his head.

Xander looks around with the glasses on and sees two small red dots off in separate directions. He then looks at the door they walked through and it is still a bright red.

Xander then says, “ I see two possible doors or areas. One to our left a ways and one to our right a ways away, which way should we go?”

Everyone else sort of shrugs, Xander says “well let’s go to the left first then.”

Xander and every one else walk behind him. After two days of none stop walking they reached where the red dot was. The red dot had grown to Xander’s eyes and he reached out into the red wall.

“There’s nothing there Xander” says Tasen.

Xander grabs a hold of a small handle and pulls on it. Everyone sees a small circular room with nothing in it but a large door.
Xander walks in and looks around he still only sees the large door and the mirror door he just walked through. He then beckons for the rest of them to come on in. Tasen, Reed, Jack, Wrathale and Bhass all walk into the room.

Xander then walks over to the large door and says “jack want to give me a hand?” jack says “sure” and walks over to the door and Xander and him begin to pull. As they pull the door scratches the stone floor making a loud scraping sound. That echo’s through the room, jack and Xander then only pull the door open to the point where they can slip through instead of opening it all the way. They slip through the door and run down a spiral stare case with torches aligned on the walls.

They then find another door on the side of the spiral stare case. They open the door with no noise at all and close it behind them, they find them selves in a torture room with many contraptions that are meant for pain and suffering. Xander sees a man chained up to a wall on the other side of the room he walks over there and looks at the man.

Jack walks over by his side and looks at the chained up man as well. They see the man has cuts everywhere and is missing and eye and it also looks like his eyelids were torn off and bruises everywhere on his body. They see the mans eyes look at both of them and he starts to moan and tries too push him self away from them in fear.

Jack then panics incase of something hears them and Stabs the man in the heart with a dagger. The man goes limp and his heart starts to bleed out. Xander looks at jack angrily. Then Jack starts to feel him self burning and he begins to make a muffled Scream. The burning slowly begins to fade and jack looks at his arms and sees a rather large scar on his left arm.

“What did you do that for?” Jack says

Xander replies “We could have used some information from him you idiot.”

“Well its not my fault I was afraid he might alert something…” says Jack

Xander looks at him angrily again and walks away. Reed starts to look through a chest by one of the contraptions and find a cloth like that of the princess’s dress. He then hands it to Xander and he examines it. He then puts it in his pack.

“Well, we might as well get moving,” says Xander.

They then go back to the stairs and keep heading down and they find another door at the end of the hall and they open in a crack to see what’s in it they see what looks like a large Mess hall however no ones there. They walk in and they see a small Circular Room with red curtains at the back of the room and they see two windows to either side of them.

They see out side the left window strange creatures that look lizard like and they are what appears to be training and out side the right window humans doing the same thing. “So now what?” Asks Tasen. Right afterwards they heard an alarm go off and saw through both windows all of them walk towards two doors that where on either side of the room. Everyone then ran to the door they came through and ran through. They then closed the door behind them and ran to the torture room. They then sat there listening and waiting.

After a few minutes they heard the sound of the lower door opening and they listened closer and they heard footsteps coming up the stairs they hear the noise get closer to the door. They hear the door shuffle a bit and hide behind where the door would cover.

Tasen walked up the wall and on to the ceiling above the door and watched. The first thing in was a golden Lizard of a sort and it walked over to the human body and began to look at it. It then started to hit it with lighting but nothing happened but it still continued. The second one in stood behind the golden one watching. The third one into the room came in and closed the door as it saw Xander, Jack, Reed, Bhass and Wrathale it was about to yell to the other two when Tasen dropped from the ceiling stabbing his sword into its lungs making the oxygen make a slight hiss from the wound. The other two lizards still focused on the human’s body. The party then drew their weapons and snuck up on the other lizard and killed him.

The Golden lizard then turns around to see his Friends dead and six people looking at him with their weapons drawn. The lizard then turns invisible and runs around the room.

Everyone blinks and finds that the lizard had disappeared. Tasen then activates his Sword of the black Flame silencing anything with in a thirty-foot radius
Wrathale heads over to the door and makes sure nothing gets through. Jack, Bhass, Tasen, Reed and Xander start searching the room for the invisible lizard. After a few moments everyone notices that there are two Reeds in the room. Reed then attacks Reed with his weapons. Everyone stops and watches while the two fight it out but then after a while they find out that one of them was starting to look like a lizard. So Jack, Tasen, Xander, Bhass and Wrathale all join Reed fight him. They then over power him and the Lizard kneels down panting.

Tasen then turns of the power of the Black flame. Xander speaks in the language of Draconian “Do you recognize this symbol?” and points to the icon on his armor. The Lizard smiles, Xander then says again “Do you recognize this Symbol?” Tasen who understands what he is saying translates to the rest of the party.

Xander looks at the lizard then Turns on his Sword of the Black flame, at the same time the lizard pushes Xander backwards and Slashes at everyone else. Xander falls back and gets back up and attacks the Lizard. As Xander Stabs the lizard with the Javelin the Draconian Roars up in Green Fire and it melts Xander’s Javelin into a puddle of mush. Everyone then stands back and the Draconian gets up and Xander turns off his black flame. The Draconian starts to laugh. Then says, “you can hurt me all you want but I’m sure I’m not the one that’s going to die…”

“He’s not going to tell us anything,” says Xander and he runs up and punches the Draconian in the face hoping to knock it out but only knocks him down to his knee’s Tasen the Walks up to it and punches it to the Ground knocking it out.
