"Oh curse the night." Twilight frowned, kicking up and hitting the strangers hand away from the orb. She cradled the water orb in her hand as she stood up.
Twilight crawled over to where Gharanth lay and sat down next to him. "Are you alright?" She whispered, laying her head agaist him.
Twilight's legs buckled and she fell onto her knees. "Gharanth!" She gasped, pointing at the water orb that was rolling for the edge of the mountain. "The water orb..."
Twilight cried out, screaming as the darkness surrounded her. Her breath hitched in her throat and her eyes flashed from black to blue as she fought to hold back the darkness.
Twilight drew in a breath, jumping onto one of the fallen trees and kicking off it. She landed right on top of Aldon2, reaching for the water orb.
Twilight's brow creased. She wasn't gonna let anyone disapear with another orb. She swung up onto a tree branch, following Aldon2 close at his heals.
"Gharanth! Let's go!" She didn't wait for him to reply. Instead, she dashed off after Aldon2 and into the trees.
Twilight stood up suddenly, eyes wide. "Someone is here." She whispered quietly to Gharanth." Her eyes flashed to the tent where Aldon lay. "In there."
She grinned back. "They do not show when you smile." She sighed and leaned her head against him in the creaping evening. Her eyes traveled to Gharanth's tent where Aldon lay. "Whoever did this to Aldon was looking for orbs." She said finally. "They will be after you."
Twilight came to sit next to him instead of heading for her tent. "I can keep watch if you like. You look tired." She traced the dark circles under his eyes. "You need your strength."
"I guess we make camp and stay with him till he wakes." Twilight sighed, looking the rest of the way up the cliff at the clouds above. "Maybe he can tell us who did this to him. That may give us some info on who is after the orbs."
"How strange..." Twilight examined Aldon's face, her brow creasing in confusion. "I don't think this was the man in my dream. The man in my dream had this evil glint in his eye and a twisting grin. This man is..." She bit her lip, looking up at Gharanth. "I think there is someone else looking for power. Someone besides Aldon." Her eyes pinched a little. "Someone worse than even him."
Twilight shook her head. "He is alive but only just." She touched his forehead with the tips of her fingers and examined a cut on his face. "Help me Gharanth. We mustn't leave him this way."
Twilight shuddered as she saw Aldon's body land before them. She stepped forward warily and reached out, rolling Aldon onto his back so she could see his face.
Twilight nodded, testing the loose stones under a foot as she walked. "If he is too much a challenge, please do not fight him." Twilight stared up from the ground, losing her focus. "I don't want you hurting yourself over something I saw in a dream."
ooooo!:noworries: NICE JOB! *also dances*
"This man, Aldon. How strong is he?" Twilight turned the conversation towards what awaited them at the top of the climb.
Hello. How goes it?:rockdover:
"So we stake out, keep watch, and attack in the evening." Jasper nodded, rolling his shoulders. "I always liked a challenge."
Alright I guess. Computer thrashed me at internet checkers 13/13 times this morning...actually it was 13 and a half/13, but that's just cause i quit halfway through the last game. :)
