[QUOTE="talien, post: 2020432, member: 3285"] [b]The Seeds of Our Destruction - Part 6a: Bait[/b] "Are you sure it's safe?" asked Maatkare, peering into the darkened streets and alleys that loomed around them. "Absolutely," said Sebastian. "My companions are quite capable." "Whatever is stalking you, it would have to be very foolish to attack us," said Vlad. "Don't be so sure," said Ilmarė, her eyes focused on the rooftops. "What?" asked Quintus. "We're being followed," she said. "Followed?" Hetshapet asked, her voice rising in panic. Ilmarė slowly reached behind her and took a bow out of her quiver. "Everyone stay calm," said Quintus. "We don't want to want to give away our trap." "Trap?" said Maatkare. "You mean you've been using me as bait?" Kham put both hands into the pockets of his overcoat. "Bait's such a strong word." Ilmarė shrugged her bow off of her shoulder, but the gesture was so smooth that it looked as if she was merely carrying it in one hand. Maatkare whirled on Sebastian. "You knew about this too?" Sebastian put his hands up in surprise. "I did not." "Ilmarė, now!" shouted Quintus. In a flash, Ilmarė knocked an arrow as she drew her bow. The arrow whistled through the air and thudded into the darkness. An inhuman screech arose from the rooftops, confirming the hit. "It's on the move!" she shouted. A strangely malformed body leaped from the roof overhead as bits of tile tinkled to the ground. Quintus took off at a sprint, unhindered by his usually bulky armor. "He is going to get so lost," said Kham. He ran after Quintus, his coat billowing behind him. Hetshapet poked Sebastian in the chest. "Did the rest of you know about this?" Vlad drew his sword with a SHIIING! "No," he said with a frown, "but I'm catching up fast." He jogged off into the darkness. Beldin shrugged his shoulders. "Don't look at me. Nobody tells me anything." "Nor I," said Sebastian. "I get the distinct impression they don't fully trust us yet. Or perhaps it's a human prejudice. Isn't that right Ilmarė?" There was no response. "Where's Ilmarė?" [/QUOTE]
