[color=gold]"What the hell!?"[/color] Mikoto exclaimed as she heard Titania's accusations, feeling quite a bit offended at some of the charges she was being given. [color=gold]"Look, General Titania, right? There's two things that you don't seem to be getting right. First, I'm not Chenny Boy's girlfriend and second, I'm not a rebel. I might be a thief, but I'm still a citizen of the Imperium, you can't treat me like tha- Da hell, woman, stop firing when people are trying to talk with you!"[/color] Mikoto's spiel was cut short when Titania suddenly opened fire on them, forcing the Peddler Witch to follow with Ruxen's plan.

[color=gold]"Y'know, Ruxy, that plan of yours is the best one I heard today. I'll meet'cha later unless, you wanna a lift, of course?"[/color] Mikoto said as she zig-zagged between the forest trees, taking a diagonal path to avoid being gunned down so easily. As if this was the first time Mikoto had to beat a hasty retreat under a curtain of hot lead... it wouldn't be so easy to get her, heh!

Deeper down the forest, right around the direction that Chen and Fei, as well as, maybe, Lorelai and Axon, were bound to (the path to the Librarian's hideout at Rivenwood), a soft jiggling of a bell could barely be heard over the distant gunshots. It seemed to beckon them, somehow. But, who, or what, was the source of it?

Well, the answer was quite more close than they could expect. In fact, it was right about their faces as soon as they came across another thicket of high bushes, reaching the bank of a river that came down from the mountains were Orello was located. A place that would make them easy targets for their trigger happy pursuer. Or so should it be, if not for the fact that, right in front of them, stood a very unique individual whose unmistakable feline features, along with a classic wizard's garb, made her quite hard to forget (at least for Chen).

[url=http://i.imgur.com/r4bMcJj.jpg]Sí[/url], the Cat Sith, a rare type of true Fey, very much like the ones that skirmished against Chen a little while ago, as well as the Curator of the Infinity Library, the very own Librarian's Headquarters. Seeing the cat fairy out of the secret haven she called home was as rare as finding a four-leaf clover growing on a rocky crevasse. What could have brought her all the way here?

[color=ec008c]"Guh..."[/color] Sí sighed deeply as she finally found the one she had been sent to meet, that is, Chen. The look in her eyes suggested that the Cat Sith was dead tired, even though that was Sí's standard behavior. [color=ec008c]"The General was buy so... she asked me to come help you."[/color] Sí said to Chen, explaining the situation in as much detail as she could muster the will to, before taking curious a look at Fei. [color=ec008c]"Mmm... who's this one? A girlfriend... perhaps?"[/color] The Cat Sith said as a small smirk, or better, feline grin, appeared on her face while her tail swayed to and from languidly, showing about as much emotion as Sí was able to at once.

Away from there, at the distant floating archipelago of Arcadia, Tori, Alex and the Twins finally had made it to the ruins, after a painfully long trip. The interior of the ancient temple looked like it wasn't even from this world though, they wouldn't have much time to admire it just yet. As soon as the group entered the temple, the door closed behind them sealing them in with a magic barrier that even Tori wouldn't be able to circumvent without getting creative.

Almost instantly, a cold, frothing, slimy liquid began to pour on their heads, causing the Twins to shudder as they imagined their clothes being destroyed once more. Before long, the liquid as pooling in the floor even as Linea and Sienna tried to get away from, ushering Alex and Tori to do so as well. Once they were a short distance away from the slime falls, in a corridor that split between left, right and center, a short distance away from them, a skittering sound, like thousands of legs crawling on the floor, walls and ceiling rapidly, approached them from behind.

[color=maroon]"Oh, no, Goddess. Anything but that..."[/color] Sienna said, don't even daring to look behind her, after all the foxy Twins had encountered this kind of dungeon creep more than once in the past.

[color=teal]"Oneesamaa, it's-"[/color]

[color=maroon]"Yeah, I know that, Linea. Let's keep calm and go with plan A, right?"[/color]

[color=teal]"Right... what is plan A, again, Oneesama?"[/color]

[color=maroon]"Oh, come on, just forget it and run! Which path should we take, Alex and Tori? By the way, whatever you do, don't look behind us. Trust me, you won't be sleeping for days, if you do."[/color] Sienna said as she began to beat a hasty retreat besides her sister. In truth, if either Alex or Tori dared look at their backs, they would notice the source of the Twins panic. A huge, sapphire-colored, mass of tiny spiders that looked like crawling bubbles was, well... crawling toward them at high speed.

There was no telling what they could do if they reached the adventurers, no doubt running was their best bet, unless Alex or Tori had the kind of heavy artillery powers that the Twins lacked. But, since they didn't, running was their best bet right now. The matter was which way to choose. As if a guide to help them, each of the tunnels had a glyph marked at its angular stone. The Sun, the Moon and a Star. But, what could each of them mean?
