Labyrinth Tunnels Code13

Labyrinth Tunnels Code13

If you're new here, start at the first labyrinth post. All the labyrinth posts live on the Power of Claw page.

Wiseowl, Claaws, and Scarlet saved the day this time! "F-O-R-E-S-T" opened the door of the forest-looking room, and we've reached it: the thirteenth room.

Some people think the number thirteen brings bad luck, but I don't. Maybe it's because I like being contrary. I have this theory that if you believe the exact opposite of everyone around you, you might be wrong 90% of the time, but 10% of the time you'll be amazing. Anyway, I really like the numbers thirteen and four. (A lot of Sprocketvillians think four is unlucky.) 

The thirteenth room is less of a room and more of a cave. The walls are covered with all sorts of little holes. From what I know of caves, they probably go on for miles and miles. Thimble, Little Crow, and some other small creatures could explore them, but at this point in our journey, it might be best to stick together and focus on the next gate.  

That said...we're running out of food and water again. Who and Little Crow volunteered to leave the tunnels and fetch more, but I don't feel great about leaving those two alone again. I propose that some other flying creatures—maybe Wiseowl or Storm Windwhisperer?—go with them. 

Don't forget those green stones. And if anyone can find some chewy black licorice, I wouldn't complain at all.  

 



OK, I just had a minor shocked. The old badger just ran up to me, shouted "Seventeen will leave, nine left over," and enthusiastically scratched the letter "F" off the bark. 

-J-M-E-M-I-A-K-Z-G-E-F-H-P-Q-X-S-B-Y-W-R-C-T-O-N-U-V-D-L-

He seems to be talking more and more, although half the time he seems to be talking to the walls themselves. I just watched him whispering to a dripping stalactite for almost fifteen minutes. When he was done, he just turned back to the little fire he had made to warm up another cup of tea. 

I doubt he was talking to himself. The strange voices in these tunnels really have been growing louder. For the most part they seem harmless, but sometimes I'll wake up and the tone of the persistent whispering chills me. I start to sweat. It never lasts long, though. 

 

Wait a second. This one seems damaged or something. A lot of these characters aren't in my Cypher. The combination lock is straightforward enough, at least. Any ideas?

CAPTCHA is the thing you type to prove you're not a robot. Some people name them and say that they're waffles or whatever. Mine is Zoth the alien.

 

MoonRacer, I think Claaws is right. You are kind of OP. Even if it took you two weeks, you can still do all that magic at all.

 

Zoth says gcwb. That must mean welcome back Claaws. Yeah, right.

Is CAPTCHA an abbreviation or something? And whats OP?

 

Captcha is the name of the code you're asked to type before you submit a comment. The letters do stand for words, but I forget what they are.

 OP stands for over-powered. Generally a character that can do and fix everything in an instant does not make as interesting a story as someone with some flaws.

Maybe Zoth means Great, Claaws, Welcome Back! In short, gcwb!

Chilly says riay. What does that mean, Chilly?

It means really. In the sentence "Really, that IS what she said! You're getting better at translating Captcha!"

I can translate for every Captcha except for you, sissy.

Um, Icy…

CAPTCHAs can only speak four-letter words. So what Chilly can says is, "Iiit mean srea llyy. Inth sent ence 'Real llyy, that IIIS what shee said! Yore gett ingg bett terr attt trans lati ngg CAPT CHAa."

That's what I was thinking! I guess Zoth likes Claaws.

 

Also, I will be REALLY busy this week, so I won't be able to post. Cry

 

Zoth says ivwa. You've a way? To do what?

No matter how tiring, no amount of energy used will make me turn to you, Snake-tounge.

That is probably not your name, but that is what I am going to call you.

Sorry for not posting. It's been a visit day of chores and a long shower (my.chores included picking up dog poo from the front and back lawn)...my grandparents are coming tomatoes, oh, um tomorrow not tomatoes, and I won't be posting that.much until after Friday. So I'm gonna put as much as I can into this post. Sorry if it's very long!

First, Monnracer, sorry for being rude or anything. And um...I don't know if everyone agrees but can you...um...not have magic? Like the admins so wisely said its.not as fun when one characturs is all powerful and magical and can save the day with one word. I like you being a dragon (#dragonsrule) and your cool magic bolb rock thing...it's.just it's not fun when someone can solve a crises.just like that. So I am very kindly asking for you.to give up your magic. Maybe you can have a little, like the cool sharp spears and the power to heal, but just a little bit. And the spears are not as strong as a Power. Is that okay? I think most agree that it's not as fun with your allpowerful magic. Sorry if I'm being very rude or anything.

Second, if everyone agrees that Monnracer should have no magic, only a little weak magic, then can we start over, from where Jaaws.was in the cave and Claaws and Cealani attacked? And Moonracer, also no teleporting, it's not really that fun when you can teleport. So if that is okay with everyone I'm just going to start over. And how about the fighters join the original group in the tunnels? Here, I'll post what I have planed and you guys can yell at me for being so rude as to write it over. Okay here it goes...

Bla bla bla, braking the gate...bla bla...touching sibling moment...bla bla...ooo, here it is.

Claaws turned back into a panther before her head could collapse the ceiling. Cealani, though, it took him awhile to realize that to get down the many stairs and go through the next open gate he had to turn back into a crow. Together they bounded down the stairs to face the wide open door. Behind it was a wall with a unnatural yellow light linking the bottom of the wall. And just in the light, was a hunched dark shape full of darkness and evil. The other power fealling made both Claaws and Cealani shiver. "Its a sideaffected power," Cealani whispered wisely, unlike his protective arrogant self.

Claaws recognized the sensation as she remembered the creature in the mist, Whist. Sylvia's side affected power. Who's was this though? Clawed remembered how hard it was to beat the kindest powers sideaffected power. How hard would it to defeat any of the others? The creature moved, sending their presence. It blinked its beyond blood red eyes and snarled its rotting yellow teeth. "I wOnDeReD wHeN yOu WoUlD FiNd Me." It spoke with an uneven, almost scaly voice. No, it was a she.

Clawed faltered. It was like looking in a reflection. The red eyes, the scales dark as darkness. The long claws. This, this wasn't Lunee's sideaffected power. Or even Cealani's...

It was hers.

Whist was hard enough to kill.

What would this one be like? Claaws' sideaffected power. The sideaffected power of destruction. Of darkness. Of all things evil. How were they ever to defeat it?

"HaVe YoU cOmE tO pLaY? Or HaVe YoU cOmE fOr My ToYs AlReAdY HeRe? Or HaVe YoU sImPlY cOmE tO wIsH mE lUcK?"

"Cl-Claaws." Cealani scampered. "If..if Whist was a problem...what will this one be like?"

Clawed shivered. "Total destruction."

Suddenly there was a fluttering of wings and a dragon just a little taller then Claaws' panther form came bolting in. In a matter of three seconds the giant dragon swatted the smaller one away. "OoH, mOrE tOyS! HOw FuN!"

Claaws took a few steps towards. Under thedragon's large black wings were two creatures, a Fox and a human. The dragon glanced at Claaws, before looking away to block another blow from the other dragon. Claaws took another step towards, and raced toward. There was a shocked squawk from Cealani as Claaws rolled under the beastes wings and grapped a Fox whiter then snow and a human brighter then the moon. Then she turned around and darted out of the cave. The other dragon stayed back, hissing and growling as the larger dragon tried lunching at Claaws. "MoThEr, DoN't FoRgEt Me! I wIlL dEsTrOy KyNdOm...AnD aLl WiLl ReMeMbEr My NaMe, EsPeCiAlLy YoU. My NaMe Is JaAwS, aNd AlL pOwErS wIlL fAlL, wItH tHeIr MiGhTy KyNdOm!"

Claaws glanced back to see the dragon swat the other dragon against the wall...then disappeared into darkness. A crow followed Claaws from the cave, shaking his head. Claaws didn't wait for any followers, with Eli and Icy slung on her back and Cealani quickly following her, she bounded through gate after gate, braking the one still locked, and finally bursting out to sunlight. She collapsed at the mouth of the cave, painting. Cealani flopped down too, also painting heavily. Icy groaned and Eli stirred. 

Suddenly Icy Sat up, whispering something. Then, she spoke allowed. In a choked voice. "She's here. She's here. She's in my...my...mind...don't listen to me....can't be trusted..." She clapsed her head, turning a brighter blue then before.

Eli stirred, got up, blinked her deep red eyes and lunged. Tarring pawfuls of black fur out of Claaws back. Claaws pushed her off with a struggle, getting up and gasping.

Suddenly the ground next yo her shifted, and out of the dirt came a broad, flat face with piercing yellow eyes. Following the long neck where two large talons, each gripping the earth with a mighty strength. "Posesed. Their Posesed. By..the black dragon." Eico turned his gaze to Claaws. "Everything you do is wronge. Everything causes destruction. Now you've created a sideaffected power that will destroy us all."

Claaws sighed. She had always hated Eico, but only because he only spoke the truth about her. "How do we defeat it? And please don't say by killing me because that will only do harm."

Eico laughed coldly. "Well I believe there is one way. But it involves summoning Lunee."
