Paradise Revealed April 4th 2007

From the writings of Cire Darb  --Historian --Myths of the Swohs Valley Elders

Once she had stopped crying –he let go of her and walked back down the incline to the creature that had tried to flee and pulled and twisted the machete out of its back.  He turned  back to Sunrise and asked "How much further to the Fortress?"

--------------

She answered.  "About a half mile at most."

--------------------

He did a quick search of the immediate area to make sure no other creatures were lurking around.  Among the dead creatures he found a gun that had belonged to Fallon.  The creature was probably to stupid to figure out how it worked so carried it around as a trophy instead.

-------------------

He checked to make sure it was loaded and then handed it to Sunrise and said.  "You were incredibly brave to trust me with this job –considering the stories you have told me.  I won't fail that trust.---This will end today I promise you"

-------------

He kissed her passionately  then told her.  "Now run back as fast as you can to the town and stay in my room until I return."   Then added  "I don't want to put you in at anymore risk."   She embraced him for what seemed like minutes then finally let go and started running back to town.   The Pineappleman  reloaded his own gun and trudged off down the pathway. 

------------------

After a few minutes  he came to the edge of the forest and a small clearing.  There in front of him stood the Dark Fortress.
