Shadow the Hedgehog

Rouge followed, aiming her kicks at the skeletons' heads. ---- "Agreed. Shall we head back?"

"Oh joy. Of course it wouldn't be that simple," said HRH Hope. ---- Zamy finished her meal.

"Right." Hope hastily took one of the grenades and lit the fuse, chucking it into the fog at the skeletons, ducking when the explosion scattered them. ---- "You've got that right."

Several figures were making their way towards the group, a cracking accompanying their movements. As they got closer, they were revealed to be a group of skeletons. ----- "Given you're still young I could understand if you'd prefer to do something whilst I planned it."

Hope heard something shuffle towards them. ---- "I appreciate it."

Hope kept her her torch steady, not wanting the fire to go out. ---- "No, it needs a bit of planning."

"I don't like this place," muttered Hope. ---- "I guess so."

Hope nodded and stuck close to the others as they slowly headed into the fog. ---- "We could do that, unless you want her to sleep too."

"I see your point." ---- "When do you want to invite the others over then?"

"I still think they're good people," ---- Zamy continued eating.

"MELODY! How could you think tjat?" thought Hope indignantly. --- "Better that than too spicy."

"I might be able to if we make it back in one piece." --- "Mmm, this is good."

Hope looked at a map her counterpart showed her and input the coordinates, teleporting them there. When they arrived outside the fog filled valley, she jumped when she saw Rouge standing there. "Talk about cutting it close," she gasped at the bat. ---- "Hope you like it." Zamy started on her own curry.

"Good point." Hope put on a piece of light armour. "Guess I'm all set." ----- Zamy smiled as the food arrived.

"If we'te careful we won't need it," said HRH Hope. --- "That's understandable. It should be good."

"If we'te careful we won't need it," said HRH Hope. --- "That's understandable. It should be good."

"I'm not sure I could enchant it sadly." ----- "You seem pretty jumpy," laughed Zamy.

"It could be useful." ---- Zamy ordered as well

Hope picked up a bag of grenadoes. "Just about the only things here I can use properly," she said, grabbing a torch from the wall as well. ---- "I'd say go for something mild this time."

"Yes, thank you," smiled Hope, looking around the armoury. ----- Zamy looked through her own menu.

"Here we are," she said, opening the door to the armoury. "When we're back you can each take something as a token of my thanks if you'd like." ---- Zamy handed him a menu.

HRH Hope led the way. ---- "Same here." Zamy got them a table.

"I think it'll be best if we all travel lightly given the environment. But some equipment might be useful." ---- "It smells nice at least."
