Mythical Creatures of Sada

"Ok, so will you help us find the creatures?" Nicarga asked,

"Why would humens that aren't workin with the priests be looking for the creatures." The girl demadned.

"We aren't humens," Nicarga said staying in humen form.

"Prove it."

James got an ice pack for her head, it was going to hurt when she woke up. Her eyes flickered and she winced when he put it on her head.

Slowly her eyes opened, and she smiled when she looked at him. "Ow," she groaned when she moved her head, "did you shoot me?"

"At you, but I missed."

"You're such a terrible shot," she teased.

"Thank the powers that be for that."

"Why did you try to shoot me to begin with?"

"Um..."

There was a loud banging followed by a low voice shouting, "Open up! I know you two are in there! Op-en up!"

"That's why. Come on!" James grabbed her hand and tried to pull her to her feet.

"Ah, no vertical isn't a good idea for me right now." James rolled his eyes and picked her up.

"You had better be worth it," he said as he ran towards the basement. "There's a tunnel thing down here, remember that?"

"Yeah, we used to smuggle old slaves out of here right?"

"Yeah but we're using it now."

"Wait!" she cried, "put me down we have to go get Lethero and Syden and everyone else!"

"Lethero?"

"My pack leader."

James started laughing, "you in a pack? As I recall the reason we didn't work is because you're a loner."

"James now is not the best time!"

I would perfer not to," Syden said firmly. For one, the window's open."

"Ok, well, let's go we have no time to waste," Lethero said urgently. "Where be the others. They ran off and I told them not to, I'll wring their necks."

"Lethero!" yelled a voice. It was Georgia. "We got to go." She reached them and Lethero saw she was with a man.

"Who be he, and we can't go the others aren't here."

Georgia cursed in several languages, "where are they?"

"Who be he?" Lethero repeated.

"Lose end."

"Oh great I feel special," James teased.

"Not right now James, we have to find the others like now."

"Why?"

"James you should know why. The preists will have found the passage by now, and you owe me!"

"I didn't mean to shoot you, well at you."

"He shot at you?!"

"Yeah but he's such a bad shot he missed even though I was a few feet away from him."

"If he be shooting at you, why be you bringing him aking?" Lethero asked.

"I have my reasons."

"They bettero be good enough."

"I can't know you are telling the truth until i know you aren't humens." The girl said,

"Then we have a problem, we aren't gonna prove it you'll just have to trust us."

"Fine, we have to get going though." The girl said. "They are planning on draining the creatures life or whatever they want tonight."

"Nicarga, if Lethero knows we are gone he is already going to be mad, but this this will throw him over the edge." Syden wispered.

"We'll have to take that chance so we can save these creatures." Nicarga said, they slipped out into the night.

"Where are those damn two!" Lethero yelled

"Lethero, I don't know," said Georgia. "Let's just head towards the place and hope that they went back to the pack."

Lethero let out a deep growl. "If they aren't with the pack, I'm coming back here and turning this place upside down till I find them."

Nicarga ran along the side of the woods, the girl haveing a hard time keeping up. She was some what small so Nicarga carried her on her back. She pointed them towards where they needed to go.

"We going to find this Lethero?" the girl asked.

"If we run into him ok, but i don't htink he is going to except you being with us." Nicarga said running into a feild, at the other end was Lethero and the rest of hte small group.

Lethero heard the running of feet coming towards, but soon he reconized the smell as Nicarga. She was carrying a human on her back. "What be you doing with this human, it's enough that we be going into their town, but abducting their children?"

"She is the neice of the priest, she knows exactly where the creatures are and how to get in." Nicarga said, she could smell the girls fear grow. "I'm not abducting her."

"I don't like it, but if it be neccesary we'll have to do it," Lethero said. "Now show us the way."

The girl pointed up the path and Nicarga started off again, Lethero running next to her.

"Where'd you find her?" He asked quietly.

"She was the girl from the ally, Syden went and helped her. It was some priest that jumped her so we went back to talk to her."

Georgia and James walked just outside of the others. "You recover quickly," he noticed.

"I'm vertical, this is about as fast as I'm going though. You owe me big."

"Yeah I suppose I do, what are you going to do if we have to start running?"

"Find a different route that doesn't involve running."

"Why do i think that's not going to work?"

"Because it's probably not."

Syden ran alongside of Nicarga. "Want me to carry her for a while?" he glanced up at the girl. "Or does she not trust me?"
