    Ferran shrugged.  “There was something just before you came, but that might have been you.”  Misu shook his head.

    “It wasn’t me.  I don’t have the ability to make Rifts.”  He sighed.  “Oh well.  There’s nothing we can do now.  We’ll have to be careful.  Any Rifts that he left behind were opened hastily and dangerously, and there’s no telling where they lead.”  Misu groaned.  If only Avathi were here…

    “Okay, so that’s no way out.”  Ferran murmured doubtfully.  “We’ll just have to figure this out as we go…”

    “Hello my friends.”

    Misu whipped around.  Liorah drew her sword – curved, like the types Avathi and young Khamal Khanzada carried long ago.

    “It is absolutely fantastic to see you, and since you’re all tongue tied, I’ll introduce myself.  I’m Hugon, and you three are incompetent prison breaks.”

    Speaking of Khamal Khanzada…

    Perhaps it was good that Avathi wasn’t here, after all.  He would have a few choice words for this arrogant stranger.

    Liorah tossed her head, tucking her shirt back into her loose pants.

    “We are no such thing,” she snapped haughtily.

    Now, now. 

    “This again,” Ferran sighed.

    “Yeah, whatever. Now could you show me to the lord of this snobbish establishment? Or are you in line for the beheading block? If you are, I’ll be taking my leave. With my current luck, accidental beheading seems just the thing to happen.”

    “Take your leave all you wish. We might as well be.  As for the lord, if you find him, tell me. I promised to strangle him with his own intestines and that threat stands,” Liorah remarked cheerfully.

    Charming.

    “You promised several other things but we can’t go over all of them right now,” Ferran muttered.  Liorah snickered.  A heavy silence fell over the group.

    “I’m Liorah.  No, I don’t know where we are, I don’t know how to get out, I don’t know who or what Lord Castle is, thanks for asking.”

    Misu bit his lip.  He turned to the stranger – Hugon – and extended his hand, smiling uncomfortably.

    “I’m Misu.”

    Please, can everyone at least try to get along?
