Chapter 27: A Sticky Situation
We resumed our partying after our little ordeal and Foxy’s mysterious errand she had to do. She only indicated to me briefly that it was to do with paying off the debt. She wouldn’t say how large it was nor why she owed it. Pushing further would have attracted more attention from Emi and Foxy didn’t ask much about what we did either so I thought it was fair.
After having our breakfast and it was decided that Foxy would have first pick on which mission we would do since Foxy and I have decided the first two. We peered round the board curious on which one Foxy would pick. In the end she picked a mission that was harder than the previous ones. A rank 3 mission, she said it would challenge us but I thought more because it was a fairly high gold reward. I kept quiet as I didn’t want to have Emi overly concerned but prepared myself just in case for a more difficult quest.
Quest Rank 3:
Clear out the nearby cave which has been filled with spiders. Each normal giant spider is worth 2 gold each. The queen if found is worth 10 gold
It didn’t give any numbers or any indication on the environment that we would be fighting in so I thought it would hard to prepare. Nevertheless it was Foxy’s turn to choose and she had chosen this one.
I reasoned that it was only a rank harder than the goblin one we had just taken and we didn’t have too much trouble. That was considering even when Foxy decided to do the whole mission almost singlehandedly.
“Alright then lets get this done!” Keen to start Emi seemed in good spirits with everyone back together again.

“Yeah lets do this.” Foxy smiled mysteriously
“It shouldn’t be too hard but it is still rank 3, as long as we work together we won’t get into too much trouble I reckon.” I said perhaps tempering the mood to make sure they were completely on guard.
“Definitely as long as we work together nothing can stop us.” Emi grinned and locked arms with Foxy and I and we walked together out of the doors.
It wasn’t as long a travel as compared to the Goblin mission we had done before it was more of a clear and kill type of mission as compared to the guard, wait, and ambush mission that the Goblin was. This mission was harder than just fighting against harder monsters, this is because we are fighting in their territory. Territory they are familiar with. I briefed and warned the other two along the way about the potential dangers. Foxy seemed to half listen and nod but I could tell her attention was elsewhere. Emi on the other hand was very attentive and seemed to really pumped to fighting together with everyone.
As we saw the cave I motioned for us to stop and prepare a plan. As I was about to set out a plan, I saw Foxy running into the cave with her daggers at the ready.
“Come back Foxy! It’s too dangerous to go alone!” I shouted trying to convince to turn back. However she soon disappeared into view.
Emi and I ran in abandoning any sort of plan that we could have come up with as we didn’t want Foxy to be alone in the cave. I could see that the spiders had been here for a long time. Spider webs and carcasses were littered everywhere. It reminded me of the Lord of the Rings where Frodo enters the Spiders Cave. It had that eerie look. As we got further and further in it got darker and darker until we were almost unable to see in front of us.

“Foxy! Foxy!” Emi and I whispered trying to call her out.
“AHHHHHHHH!” I heard a scream and it seemed to resemble Foxy’s voice.
I motioned Emi to use the Status Tag trick we had used in the Cave of Dark and Light and it shone a small circle around us.
The darkness in this cave seemed to be alive, clinging onto us whenever our backs were turned. Whispering sweet words around us. I knew it was just my imagination but it scared me nevertheless. We quickly tried to follow the voice but it seemed that we were constantly misguided. The voice had been bouncing off the wall so it had deceived us.
“Foxy!” we shouted trying to perhaps find where she was, “Where are you?”
“I’m in something sticky,” She cried out, “Uhhh its everywhere I can’t move from it.”
“Can you describe what is around you?”
“I can’t move! I’m stuck in this spider web. I can feel them coming! Help!”
“Don’t worry we’ll find you.” I really had no idea how to find her as our Status Tags were really giving us a pitiful light around us.
What do we do? We had no other light sources, a shortcoming on my part I must admit. We should have packed them…ARGGGGH… forget that we have to work with what we’ve got. How do we find Foxy?
Emi noticed the trouble look on my face and she whispered, “You can do it, calm yourself down, you got us out of that other cave you can get us out of this mess too.”
I breathed in a few breaths and tried to calm myself down trying to ignore the screams from Foxy even if my whole body willed myself to try to run and find the voice.
Breath.
Breath.
Take deep breaths, calm myself down
Wooooooosaaaaaa.
Use everything at my disposal. And suddenly it clicked. I knew exactly what to do to find them.
I came back to reality as I heard Foxy scream out,
“HELP EMI AND CLOVER! YOU HAVENT LEFT HAVE YOU?! I SEE ONE OF THE SPIDERS HE’S COMING. HELP ME!!!!!!”

8 2724The Thaumatist Incident
The towers fell over a century ago, and the Good King united the land. Under his voice the Thaumatists took the knee or took the sword. The University still stands, but for how long? This story is broken up into two parts. Chronologically, the two parts overlap. Part One Emile, a girl with a Talent not seen since the good king's war as she tries to find help to save her beloved father from a cruel accident. Julie, raised in a small farming village on her quest to become someone people will sing about. Part Two Wendel, a recent graduate of the University, an intense school that functions first as a police force to control the use of magic and secondly as an educational institution. Demetrius, a servant at the school who loses his home and his safety. Edits are ongoing. Reviews and comments will only help the editing the process, and I am grateful for any and all input. So, if you have been reading already, Jericho has been removed. It's been brought to my attention that his chapters detract from the flow of the narrative. They still exist, and are still going to be made available at some point in some way shape or form, but for the time being what happens with him and the king in Puissant city will be off camera so to speak.
8 84RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
