>The hyena quickly grew into a larger humanoid shape and leapt up to

>glad to see you!"  He said as his massive arms wrapped around her
>frame and squeezed her tight.  Yeah, ignore the short mage.

*grins*  What?  You'd rather be hugged by a great big naked guy?

>By the gods.  It was my grandfather's robe...

Oooooo... foreshadowing...

>"He he he he he!!" The shrill laughter echoed down the corridor, an
>entire symphony of screeching singers.  My tail curled between my legs
>as I watched no less than a score of the vile plant-and-earth monsters
>surge past the intersection after the pig, screaming all the way.  By
>the gods!  They literally kicked up dust as they charged, bellowing
>their insane war cries with their rusty weapons held high.  If any one
>of them turned to their left as they ran, they would have seen us
>standing there down the intersecting hall.  But they were so fixated
>on chasing the pig, the entire army charged right past us.  I was too
>paralyzed to move for a full minute afterward.

Man, those things are creepy...

>Before I realized it, the two were peaking down the hallway after the
>surging army.

peeking

>"This way!"  I ordered, determining the left flank to be thinner than
>the right.  I charged at the little monsters at full speed, Vale and
>Vincent on either side, brandishing their swords.  Oddly, the
>creatures did not charge back, but simply stood there.  I thrust both
>of my hands forward and fired both burning spheres like cannonballs.

Careful... 'cannonballs' is anachronistic.

>The chill began to cut through my panting and I wrapped my cloak more
>tightly around my body.  I wondered if I would grow a winter coat of
>fur?  Being half animal was so strange...  I watched my breath snake
>out of my muzzle in the October night air like a ghost.  "Cold..." I
>realized.  "They're plants.  It's too cold.  They're dying..."

Woohoo!  Or should I say 'he he he he he'? ;)

>The triumphant moment was short lived.  Vincent looked around.  "But
>where is Rufus?"
>
>We stopped and I looked up at the unfamiliar black outlines of the
>trees.  The stars were mostly hidden by clouds, and the moon peeked in
>and out from behind them as well.
>
>"... And where are we?"

Dun dun dun!!

Excellent work, Virmir. :)  Keep it up!
