Suddenly, Fred feels like the world just turned sideways!
Fred totters, and then rights himself. Looking around, he sees that Astra is also shaking her head as if to clear it. Both look down at her knife, which is covered in blood. Apparently, whatever caused the wave of dizziness had caused Astra's knife hand to slip.....and mortally wound the greedy lawyer! The man gives off a gurgling scream and.....dies....
Just as shocking is the PLACE they appear to be in! Strange, alien buildings dot the nightscape. Overhead, is nothing but black murkiness. In the immediate vicinity, besides the corpses, is the warcharger who is placidly looking down at it's master and mistress. Sharp fox ears prick and head turn at voices in the distance.
"Jes...." one male voice says, sounding vaguely familiar. "Did....hear that scream, Synizn....?"
"Of COU....!" a gruff voice shotes back, annoyed.
"Quiet!" yet ANOTHER really familiar voice commands! "We need to....."
The voices fade out of earshot.
Astra and Fred look at each other. What in the name of all that is holy is the were-bear mage doing here? More to the point, wonders Fred, just how did they end up here at Atlantis?! For, nowhere else has Fred ever heard of Non-Eculidian geometry being used in such.....gastly numbers!
