Balthazar stood outside waiting for the others, he looked up at Millie "Dont get yourself killed little girl." He said sarcastically.

Anya walked up to Balthazar and smiled at him "Do be nice. We will need your sarcastic evil ways for when we are about to die." she laughed alittle.

Millie jumped down "I won't.....nine lives" she laughed. "Anyways...lets go I don't like being still for to long"she sighed "I'll follow you" Millie said."Og, is it, you are the one who needs to be careful of everyone...you protect Lady Anya....if you don't I won't forgive you" she added.

Og grinned stupidly "Og wont let anything happen to his best friend" He said roughing up Anya's hair good naturedly.

Balthazar watched and blinked "Okay after that unusual amount of careing from a half ork, were off" He said "Millie and Anya you and in the middle, Og you guard the rear, i suppose ill be out front. Lets go" He saidand started to lead the way to the spot where Latthias was first spotted. They arrived a few minutes later and Balthazar turned to Millie "Okay Millie, both Latthias and I used magic, can you tell the difference between ours?"

"Yeah....one is dark and full of hate and..." she shudders "torture and the other is cold and blunt" Millie gives Balthazar  a sideways glance "Just like you" she added. "Now what would you like me to do" She asked bending down to look at the battleground.

"I know these walls" Anya said quietly. She brushed past Millie whipering "You know..no one needs to take care of "Lady Anya"..I can take care of myself" Anya walked up to the wall and ran her hand over it. "I have seen these walls before..I have felt there coldness" She turned to Balthazar. "Or maybe I'm crazy". It almost sounded as if she spat the words. She already hated being here.

"Never said you couldn't" she stuck out her tounge "....and don't taunt me on how I decide to call you got that....as much as I'd like to see you go through this alone.....we're all here to work TOGETHER" Millie growled. "Do you have a problem with me is that it" she whispered harshly at Anya

Anya just laughed alittle at Millie. "Balthazar..it looks like you will have to be the leader. Like I said I have seen these walls..in..my dreams. Could it be Faelan putting images in my head? He knows I don't have that much control over my magic at times..it would be easy to go into my mind. Unlike going into yours." 

Millie looked at thier leader "If thats true what do we do" she asked

Og grinned "Haha, you the boss man now."

Balthazar fowned "I hate being in charge. Now Millie you have to locate Faelan. Anya you have to tell me everything you know about these caves and the walls. Millie, lead the way. Og, shut up." He finished with a cold grin.

"Ok....but there is a slight problem, how do we avoid the traps that are set, in the sky, in the ground, the wildlife..... and the wall...." solem mood changes to more serious "Calculating with the wind,we have to go, past that wall" Millie said

Balthazar then leaned down to her eye level "Then we go past the wall, dont we? There is nothing that I personally will not do to get Faelan back. If your with me, then be with me, If not. Go back. This is a team effort and everyone needs to do there part. Let me take care of Latthias. You all have to get Faelan and get the hell out of there. You might loose me, but its a worthy transaction." He said without feeling. Faelan was important.

"I'm with you...I already told you that I would do anything do help" Millie stuck her tounge out at the back of his head. "Now how do we get past the wall" Millie asked.

"Which way did Latthias go to get past the wall? Does his magical trail go through it or over?" He asked. He was hoping for some sort of secret doorway.

"Walked right through the darn thing..." she walks over to it and places her hand on a stone "There is some strange writing, but I can't read it but its right here this is where the energy goes through the wall" Millie said running her hand over the writing.

Anya shook her head. "There is an easier way." Anya felt almost as if she was still in her dream. "There should be a path that leads to a..wet wall or something. Like an old sewer. It's what I remember from my dream..I don't think we will be able to open the wall. It's Lathias magic..hard to break." Anya wondered around the area hoping to find something. Like a clue. "But you can try and break the wall."

Balthazar touched the wall and recoiled as if burnt "This is different magic, feel it, it has no torture or hate. Its love." He shudddered "Discusting magic. Anya, where is this second entrance. Oh and Og, try and break the wall down." He smiled to himself.

Og laughed and walked up to the wall and punched it hard, a pink lightning bolt came out and hit him in the chest. Og staggered back a few metres and looked dazed "Ooh....I feel funny."



Balthazar laughed Heartily "I suspected as much." He then turned back to Anya "Dont worry, your friend will be fine in a little time."

"I am guessing the 'wet wall' would be..." Millie stopped looking around and focused her wide eyes in one dirction. "Over there" she said in disgust. "But couldn't this guys magic block that too" she asked.

Anya didn't look up "There used to be a water run here...so if we follow this we will find the sewer. His magic shouldn't be blocking it..In my dream the wall was falling apart.Lathias most likely doesn't even know its there.Only someone really stupid and brave would enter these walls. I have heard the stories of what they do to people. Like cut off there wings...But that's just my guess...shall we follow?" Anya said with a friendly grin.

Balthazar walked up to the wall and touched it. "Ahh, excellent, its full of hate and sorrow. That i can deal with." Balthazar placed the palm of both hands on the wall and began to absorb the magic. Slowly Balthazars body glowed softly. He removed his hands from the wall and turned to Og "Og, push this wall open."

Og moved slowly and pushed the wall, slowly it opened, protesting. "Og is happy to do service." He said dizzily.

"Someone had to have heard that...We don't have much time until men start piling in here trying to find out what the noise was" Anya ran her hand across the wall like a curious child. "This is the wall..It leads..deeper into the fort. The magic is strong in here..so we are best to be careful. If we keep following the water run we should end up around where they are keeping Faelan." Anya walked abit further into the darkness. She had seen this all before. She had a feeling she hadn't felt for years...he brother. It was almost as if he was near.

"I know you can take care of yourself Anya, but if you need me I'm here" Millie smiled gently "If anythings wrong that is" She tensed up "Lets go" she said quickly.

Balthazar walked just behind the pair as they worked together to find Latthias and Faelan. He kept his mind alert to all kinds of magic, and his ears open to sounds of others. "Move silently and skillfully"

Og followed the others, he was getting over the spell but was still a little fazed "Someones commin up from behind" he said slowly. He smiled to himself for a job well done.

"Lets hope we can avoid any major fighting, it will draw more people, if it can't be avoided lets hope we land on our feet and not on our backs" Millie said smirking to herself "Oh Balthazar, Og, good job on getting us in, but I still wonder what the writing on the wall said" she added as an after-thought.

"It was an elven protection spell. The spell in on some of the book cases back at the fort." Anya turned around "I spend a lot of times there" She smiled kept walking. Anya stoped for a secound. The feeling of her brother was stronger. She looked around abit, then kept walking. "This cave goes a long ways down."

Balthazar now had to listen to the two women in front of him. They contined walking for a minute before Balthazar grabbed them by the back of there shirts and pulled them into a side ally. Og followed them in a daze. A troop of guards marched past heading toward the exit. Balthazar said "Okay go quietly now."

Anya pulled a small dagger out of her boot and stuck close to Balthazar. "Do you think they will tell Lathias?" she whispered to Balthazar.

Balthazar's expression darkened "I believe he already knows Anya. He wants us here, he is watching our every move, wanting us to find Faelan. We need to get him out. We need to spring the trap. I can teleport and i can teach you to Millie. As soon as you find Faelan, grab onto him and teleport him to the fort." He said placing a hand on her forhead. Suddenly she knew how to teleport "Then come back and get Anya, then Og. I will fend for myself. I dont need you to come for me. Now lets move." He said pointing in the direction they were heading.

Anya stayed standing where she was. "I have to go on abit on my own...I have a feeling I have to follow. I will be able to take care of myself don't worry." Anya smiled. "Oh..and may I add..You know the telaporting won't be easy..there is no way Lathias will let this be easy..you will have to go the long way..the hard way. He wants us good and tired." Anya turned walked forward abit. "If anything goes wrong don't wait for me..I will find my way"

"Right....find Faelan, teleport him to fort, the come back for Anya but she's following something so I'll get Og second and then come back for Anya" She thought. Millie turned to Balthazar "If you take to long to get back on your own, I'm coming back for you too, and you can't stop me or convince me not to." she said. "Og you're with me so let us go" she added turning to Og.

Og seemed over the phaze "Im ready to kill" He stated in his bass voice.

Balthazar frowned. He knew he could take care of himself, and kill Latthias if he needed to. He just nodded to Millie "Alright. Give me ten minutes, if i havent come back by then you come get me." He said frustrated.

Anya slipped into the darkness. She could feel her brother very strongly. Ever since she was young she could always sense if he was near. She followed down the long dark hall hoping it wasn't just lathias tricking her. It was cold own there and wet. But the power was to strong to ignore.

"Alright Og and I are off,ten minutes thats it" she turned towards a passage "And do make it sound like a bad thing, 'Little girl' just wants everyone out safe" She walked off with a slight wave and a guiet hum.

Before they knew it Balthazar, Og, and Millie were surrounded by guards. Each guard had a symbol written on there armor, chest, and shield. Balthazar swore "I cant use my magic if they have that symbol, and neither can you. Physical attacks!" Balthazar called out loudly before pulling out his daggers and driving one into the cracks of the first man in armor.

Og grinned and swung like a mad man decapitating three guards "I hate magic....no blood." He said attacking another

Millie laughed. "Og, you have a fasination for blood but I prefer a clean kill, not as messy" she said and pulled a whip from under her cloak and snapping the neck of the closest guard with it and throwing him into the next. She jumped over to a couple guards with a small dagger and slashing a their symbols. "Balthazar, NOW" Millie said dodging a guards attack.

Balthazar raised his hands and his eyes turned dark. Black lightning shot out from him destroying the guards without symbols. "Very nice" Balthazar said in a demonic voice.

Og finished off the last ones and wiped his blade clean on a pair of pants "I thinking that Evil guy knows were here" He said slowly.

"Then we got to go" Millie said and started running down the passage. After a while Millie turned around and noticed that Og wasn't there. "Og" She called.
'Whos Og' a voice asked. Millie spun around and came to face a boy a little taller than her and obviously around her age. "Nate, is that you" she asked quietly. 'Of course it is Mil' he said. Millie ran to him and hugged him. "I thought you were dead" she cried. 'Im not' he said wrapping his arms around her. "But what are you doing here".
In reality Millie is under a spell digging into her memories which caused her to collapse in the middle of the passage.

---

Faelan opened his eyes, both of which glowing allowing him to see. Everything was upside down, and he felt groggy, extremely dizzy. He looked to either side, noticing the schackles holding his wrists to the cave wall, and tried to move his legs, feeling the chains holding his legs. He was hanging upside down, the cave was deep, he could tell by the cold, and the moist smell of the air.
He gave a light groan as he tried to move, before passing out again.

---

Anya walked down the cave quietly. Soon she was approaching a large door that was unlocked. She knew it was a trick but she could feel her brother close. Slowly she opened the door. It was dimly lit and cold. She steped into the room. The floor was a damp stone. In the corner she saw someone with there back towards her. The man slowly turned around facing Anya there eyes meeting. Anya stopped breathing, sitting infront of her beaten up but smiling was her brother Talfagoron. Anya ran towards him getting to her knees and placing a hand on his face. "It really is you, I thought I lost you" Anya said while tears of happiness filled her eyes. Finally she found him. But he was weak, Lathias really had hurt him. "Anya it's ok. But you must go. Lathias will kill you." he replied quietly. Anya shook her head stubbornly. "Not without you. You are my brother..I can't leave you here to die." Anya channeled her mind and energy hoping to travel into Balthazar's mind. "Balthazar I need you. Please find me. Balthazar. Please." She wasn't sure if it worked. "Anya..you have grown up more than I remember. My little sister isn't so little" He laughed alittle. "Talf save your energy" She said smiling at him.

---

Balthazar looked around himself and saw where he was. he waved his hand and the image disapeared. He called to Latthias mentally "You really dont want to go in my mind." He then turned to Og "Og listen to me. You have to go get Anya. It is very important. Millie. Millie?" He saw her there and bent down to her and placed a hand on her head "I apologise for this." Balthazar entered her mind. He is now an image in her head. "Millie. Get up" He said to her face.

Og nodded and took off, Balthazar had told him exactly where to go. He charged down the side passage that Anya went down and called her in a moderately loud voice "Anya, its OG"

---

The door of the room shut and locked tightly. There was no way in or out now. Talf tooked at Anya. "Lathias knows you are here. There is no way in or out of this room. Anya you shouldn't have came." Anya shook her head "I am not going to let you die. I won't let Lathias hurt me or you anymore. You are the only family I have left." Anya sat beside her brother. "Are you ok?" She asked queitly. "I will be fine. I just need to get back to the fort...Let's hope someone finds us. So far Faelan won't be able to" Talf looked troubled. "Have you seen Faelan?" She asked. "Yes..when they brought him here. He wasn't looking good. Roiben got away. But he is being searched for." Anya's brother layed his head against the wall. "Anya I fear for you life now. I don't see a way I can save you and it is killing me inside." Anya smiled at him. "We will make it through this. Are you sure we can't break down this door?" Talf shook his head "It is impossible..No way. Only Lathias can open this" Anya sighed and waited.

Og reached the other side and knocked on the door and said to himself "This has gotta be it. This is the only place left." He knocked again "Anya?!"

---

When Millie saw Balthazar appear she knew it was all fake, she knew that Nate WAS dead.
She sat up and rubbed her head. "Ah, my head"she rubbed it gently. "That was mwan whoever brought that memory up, but I'm not falling for it again, I have to find Faelan" she turned to Balthazar "Bye and thanks"she said before running off.

Balthazar then felt some heavy magic down the corrodor to his left and knew it was Latthias. He followed it not taking any care to mask his presance "Latthias. Where are you! I CALL YOU OUT!" He yelled entering a large arena. Balthazar placed his hands on his daggers, just in case.

---

Anya sat quietly with her brother. "Maybe I can scream for someones help. Like Millie" Talf laughed "Anya that won't work either. The spell pretty much breaks us away from the world. Lathias must want you or me for some reason. But he won't take you. I won't let him" Anya smiled at her brother. "I don't think you can stand up let alone save me..Save your strength..Take my cape it will keep you warm" Anya took off her heavy hooded cape and handed it to her brother. "Sleep" she insisted. Anya's brother smiled and layed down under the cape falling asleep. "Now all I can do is wait" She whispered to herself.

Og discovered the door was locked. He pushed against it then held out his axe to the door he spoke in Orkish "Gru granal, degre dom GRA." He then lifted his axe which was glowing and smashed it into the door. The wood chipped away and the axe went almost straight though. Og continued this untill there was a hole between Anya and Og. "Anya, yous in ther?" He called out in his broken english.

---

"Og!" Anya screamed with joy. But as soon as the hole was made it sealed again. "DAMNIT!" She screamed. "I told you..Lathias is holding you here. Nothing can open this door. Nothing. We must wait for Lathias to come and we can strike a deal. Anya he is stronger than anyone here. We must wait. Hopefully Dianass will come..he could maybe reason with Lathias for the realase of Faelan and us." Talf layed his head back down. "So We give up?" She asked quietly. "Oh no Anya..we will fight. But right now it is no use...So who is this Og guy? A lover" Talf laughed loudly. Anya glared and shook her head "He's apart of the Rebellion! You know you have hardly changed" Anya floped to the floor and waited some more.

---

As Millie ran the air got damper and thicker and colder. "Oh this is so not right" she shivered and kept running. she reached a door and slowly pushed it open. Millie gave a wierd look but continued. She saw many little caves all blocked by bars. "Is anyone here" she whispered walking deeper. Creatures of all sorts reached out to her but she pulled away. "I'm sorry  but I'll help you later but for now I need to find a person named Faelan, can you help me" she asked.

One snorted. 'I do, brought down there he was, trapped by magic he is, but' he paused. " But what" Millie asked. 'I'll tell you how to get in if you promise to come back for us' he said. Millie bit her lip. "If I am able to get Faelan out with no problems I will be sure to come back for you, but you know if you double-cross a you get cursed, now how" she repiled. 'use the key but do not touch it, the door must be pulled, but you will loose the use of the apendage you use, he'll be chained, just walk up and use magic to open them' he said. "Got it Thanks" Millie said and ran towards the door.

---

Faelan hung helplessly up-side down, his hair dangling his face pale and eyes half opened and glowing a dim blue, the light was fading.

---

Dianass ran his gentle fighers along the lining of the cave and smelled the air before stepping inside. "Shae'Hardremeh" he whispered to himself, as he made his way slowly inside.

---

Anya walked around room restlessly. She couldn't stand being locked up so long. At any point in time Lathias could attack. He could be killing the others and she couldn't help. Her brother layed asleep on the floor. She could hardly walk. "What do you want with me Lathias" she thought to herself. "Or maybe I'm just the bait in a trap" she thought again. Anya slammed her fist hard against the door. "I guess he isn't so brave if he won't even face me" She thought as she stared at her brother.

---

"FAELAN" Millie ran to him. "Are you ok stay with me I'll help you down" She stood up and with a glowing hand she opened the locks on his feet and keeping him steady with her shoulder, her arm----as the prisoner said----was not working. After getting him down she placed his head on her lap. "Are you ok" Millie asked, her voice pleading. "Please be ok, answer me, then I'll return you to the fort, Faelan please" she whispered.

---

Blood ran down Balthazar's face as Latthias slammed him again with another large blast of magic. Latthias was hurt also. Blthazar growled and unleashed the death mongers which tore at Latthias's skin untill they were dissapated by a blast of light. Balthazar yelped in pain as a searing blast of fire came from under the ground. Now Balthazar stood, his skin burnt, his chest heaving and blood pouring from a cut on his eyebrow. Latthias stood looking roughly the same "Your strong Balthazar" Latthias commented. Balthazar disapeared and appeared behind Latthias attacking him with a lightning bolt. Latthias fell forward then stood facing Balthazar. Balthazar grimaced fiercely "Im not just good, im better." Latthias grinned and let loose a series of magical strikes. Friestrikes, mindstrikes, and sunstrikes. Wave after wave battered against Balthazar's defences. Balthazar returned Latthias's volleys with some of his own. The fight was pretty evenly matched. Balthazar and Latthias. Whoever made an error first was doomed...

---

"Ah, ok, I have to help the others as well, ok, I'll bring you to the fort and they can fix you" Millie disappeared and after awhile she came back. "Ok, I got Faelan help, now for the others" she looked around and vanished. She came to the middle of a wall. "Og, let's go, I'll get you back to the fort" Millie said grabbing his arm lightly.

---

Og removed himself from her grasp "Og has to stay, Anya in dere. Get her, shes in there with some guy. I will stay and help Balthazar." With that he ran off down the hall toward where the fighting could be heard.

---

Balthazar gasped for breath as he was slammed against the wall. He fell to his knees. Latthias stood over him, his face and body covered in blood. "This is the end Balthazar" He said sternly. Balthazar looked up at him with his eyes pitch black and said in a satanic voice "It is never over" A black mindless entity was blasted at Latthias and threw him across the room and into the opposing wall. Balthazar stood with his eyes back and negative energy scaping the walls. "Latthias. Your doomed" Latthias then removed all the magic that was being used in his castle and all magical barriers and forcefields, every curse and every evil thing. As Latthias's powers grew, Balthazar's weakened. Balthazar blasted Latthias with another mindless entity. Latthias tore it apart and send a soul reaver to kill Balthazar. A black beam came up from underground and destroyed it "Thou casnt have mine soul Latthias. For it does not belong to me." He then blasted Latthias with another blast....

---

Millie looked at the wall. "There is no way I'm getting through a wall" she thought. "Anya, If you're in there hold on we'll get you out but Balthazar needs help he's in a fierce battle, I'll come back" Millie called then without waiting for an answer ran in the direction Og ran and reached the place that the fighting was happening. Looking at the battle she gasped.

---

Og was deflecting all Latthias's attacks with his magical Axe. Balthazar was on the ground, he looked seriously hurt. Latthias no longer had any cuts or wounds on him. Og battled forth and called out in his gruff voice "HE TOOK BALTHAZAR'S POWER! GET HIM OUTTA HERE! HE NO GOOD DEAD!" Og then took a lightning bolt to the abdomen but remained standing, due to his orkish background. He deflected another lightning bolt and quickly withdrew a throwing axe and threw it. It was destroyed before it did anything. Og battled for his life and the life of Balthazar and Millie.

---

Millie watched for a second then ran in. "Leave him alone you cold prick" she hissed at Latthia. She drew out a staff and walked towards Balthazar weirdly not having to dodge anything or block or fight. She reached Balthazar and bent down beside him. "Come on, I'll get you out of here, AND YOU DON'T YOU DARE HURT THEM OR I'LL KILL YOU PERSONALLY" Millie promised before transporting Balthazar out of there. After a while she came back right into the middle of the battle. "Oops" Millie laughed back-flipping out of the way. "Og, I'm back and here to help what do I do" she asked "Obviously Balthazar can't give me orders" she thought.

Og deflected a final attack back towards Latthias, adding some crude Orkish magic in with it too. Latthias was thrown back and skidded along the floor. Og then walked up to Latthias, before he could do anything though, Latthias opened a portal under himself and dissapeared through it. Og was standing there stupidly "He gone..." He stated obviously. "Did you gets Anya and that out?" He asked turning. His brow was bleeding heavily and his gullet was bleeding and burnt. "We need to kill Latthias. I will stay and kill." He said weaving and swaying a little. "Og is mighty champion."

"Ok, but be careful, I'll see if I can get Lady Anya, I mean Anya" Millie said and walked away mumbling to herself.

---

Millie reached the place that Anya was. She stared at it for a second. A door finally appeared. "YAY" Millie cheered she hit her good shoulder against the door, whimpering each time. The door finally swung open. "Og said to come and get you, but I have to come get you after La....Anya, I made someone a promise in the dungeon" With that Millie ran off again.

Millie reached the dugeon. "I'm back" she called. 'I was starting to think you wouldn't come back' the guy said. "I keep my promises, who are you anyways" Millie asked. 'Tala, I'm a half-breed as well' he said. "Cool, maybe we can be friends after we get out of here" Millie said picking the lock on the bars. 'I'd like that' Tala said. "Got it, I'd like that too" Millie laughed. 'Go help your friends, I'll see you later' Tala said and left. "Fai follow him, and make sure he stays safe, I have others to save" Millie whispered. A falcon popped its head out of her cloak and flew off.

---

Faelan hung and stirred softly, groaning weakly.

Og went wandering and accidentally came across the place where Faelan was hanging. He looked at him and then turned his head upside down "Hey! Its boss man" He said to himself surprised. He reached up and touched the shackles and recieved a large electric shock. He growled in pain and decided to use his axe. He spoke in orkish "Grana gariwsh. Saitho char garara. Gieatpa." The axe glowed. Og spoke in common tongue "BY THE ORKISH GODS I MAKE YOU BROKEN!" He swung his glowing axe and cleaved through the two shackles on his ankles. The elctricity still affected Og though. He weaved and his head was light. He picked up Faelan and put his axe on his back. "MILLIE!" He called out slowly. He stumbled out of the door and bumped into a few walls while calling out "MILLIE! I GOTS BOSS MAN!"

---

"I could have sworn that I brought him back to the fort, OH NO I BROUGHT THE WRONG GUY DIDN'T I, i'm going to be in so much trouble, what do I do" Millie cried. She looked at Og and sighed. "Great this is great, everytime I get in trouble people die, what if its me this time" she asked. 

"Millie" Og said. "We has to get back. Og wanna go home. Me is tired." he yawned and then hefted Faelan higher on his shoulder. "Come on...."

"Right, lets go then, it will feel a little sickening at first but you'll get used to it" Millie said and they disappeared.

Back to Faelan's Rebellion.
If your in the Anya thingy, go to Anya's Fight
