Rinzler and Feather
“Feather, are you sure this’ll work?” Rinzler asked, but it was too late. Feather was already standing on the Dark Player’s shoulders, reaching up toward the vent.
A loud creaking sounded through the room, and water started pouring in through holes in the walls. “Hurry up,” said Rinzler urgently. “We don’t have all the time in the world.”
“I got it!” said Feather, stepping off of the dark Player so he could stand up again. “It’s open, can you find something we can use as a ladder?”
Rinzler found a pole on the wall. “Is this what you need?” He pulled, and it came loose. A rush of water blasted him in the face. He realized it was one of the pipes carrying the water.
“Rinzler, what did you do?” Feather asked as the water level started rising faster, forcing them all to tread water. He gave her the pipe, and then she knew what to do with it. Propping it up against the opening, she climbed up, and the others followed. Rinzler came last.
The area they were in now seemed to be a primitive air duct. It was crowded, but safe. Feather turned to Hesh. “Now can you tell me about the glass-spitter?” [he’s the one that mentioned it right?]

#ProtectSebJune 30, 2022 at 8:00 pm #112026Yes! I’m sorry it’s been a while. I’m at church camp, and haven’t had much time or energy left for the forum.
However, I’ll get something up in the next hour or two.

Finally, here it is!!
Viktor
The rest of the group wasn’t following. Or at least, not quickly, and not completely. Viktor gritted his teeth and darted a glance behind him.
He saw a nightmare.
His nightmare all over again.
Their torches cast flickering shadows against the walls around them. Back and forth, red light on ancient stone. was too much flame, too little time. Soldiers were probably coming.
He gritted his teeth.
‘Run!‘
Viktor pushed Alyona ahead of him and spun back. The two VoyageFolk were drawing up close, but the rest lagged behind.
Didn’t they see the danger?
But a second look stilled him; it was like gazing into a mirror. Dreadful memories shrouded Arabella like a wet mantle. Lynn and November walked beside her, love for their friend slowing their step.
Viktor swallowed back bitter fear and squeezed his eyes shut.
‘Please Lord, help us. Help us all. And give us peace. You’re the only one who can.’
When he opened them, the moment had passed and Arabella was capably leading her friends toward safety.
Hopefully.
Alyona
The dark walls continued, leading them on. Viktor guided them all through a winding passage, and Alyona followed him, holding high her light to illuminate the way.
Then before she expected it, but long after she looked for it, she smelled something wonderful. A quick glance showed the rest of the group sensed it too. Fresh, sweet air drifted by, filled with everything alive and green.
Chins lifted, and faces lit. Alyona smiled ashe the awful tenseness in Viktor’s gait eased away. What a wonderful blessing the breath of freedom was!
And suddenly she strode out into the cool night. An herb garden spread before them, full of what was sweet and healing. All about it stood a white wall, cradling this leafy place from danger and sentries.
Alyona could have danced. Or sung.
But instead she settled her torch into a socket near the door and turned to the others as they spilled out into the star roofed sanctuary.
