Next Excerpt from the Mage's Spell

Atari left. We all looked at Darius wondering what to do next.

"Well," Decimas finally said, "Let's try and stop the bleeding."

Me and him concentrated on that while Daek paced and listened for Atari. About a half hour later Atari returned, alone.

"She won't come," He reported, "She wouldn't even see me!"

"Damn," Daek said, "What do we do now?"

"Do you think Tyrinn would come?" Atari speculated.

"Anything's worth a try," Daek said, "Tell him he's needed right away. If he asks why, tell him there are a bunch of injured hot chicks lying around. If that doesn't work, force him through a portal."

Atari nodded and left again. At this point we had the bleeding slowed but not stopped. Now all we could do was replenish his blood supply.

What about Ellyossa? That was my next main thought. We couldn't do anything with Darius like this, but what about after he was well? How are we going to save her and.......Oh My God, Shostion!!!! We forgot about Shostion!!!

"Guys," I said, "What about Shostion?"

"Who?" Daek said, sounding like he just came back to the present.

"Shostion!" I said, "They still have him!"

"What can we do right now?" Decimas said, "We're kind of stuck here."

He was right, of course. We were stuck. Almost everyone was hurt and we 48 hours to hand over all Horde weapons and lands. We were screwed.
