Chapter Forty-Nine of Doom

The forty-ninth chapter of Eternal Destiny

Iris Message Discussion: Part Four
''"Oh?" he asked. "You met Rune? Guess he's doing pretty well on his journey then."''

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE OF DOOM
"So what can the ring do exactly?" Fred wondered. "Back in Lokume it made a talking snake. Anything else it can do?"

"It can summon any animal," Rune explained. "But the stronger the animal is, the harder it is to summon. The most I can manage is Dolphin. Whenever I try a tiger or dragon or something, I don't get a spark. I'm not even strong enough to summon an ordinary horse yet."

"With all due respect, did any of you see which way Dana went?" Roy asked.

Caitlyn facepalmed. "Dang it! We've been in Mokibu for all of a minute and we already lost her! Again!"

Rune didn't bother wasting time discussing it. "Dana!" he shouted. "Where are you? Dana!"

"You're not talkin' about Dana Peroll, are you?" a guy asked.

"Yeah," Rune said. "She's our friend and she kinda went missing, so-"

The guy didn't give Rune a chance to finish. Instead, he punched Rune in the gut and knocked him to the ground. Then he continued beating him up.

"Whoa there," Caitlyn said, drawing her hammer.

"Oh yeah, Peroll's friends going to gang up on me, is that it?" the guy shouted. "Hey, everyone! Peroll's back and she brought friends of hers!"

This got the attention of just about everyone, who stopped what they were doing to glare angrily at Team Triangle.

"Guys," Fred suggested. "Think we should get out of here."

"No way," Rune said, struggling to get up. "We're not just going to run away here. We can take these guys."

"With all due respect, we admire your optimism but this is a situation where a retreat is a good idea," Roy told him.

"Remember what Becca said," Caitlyn reminded him. "No matter how strong you are, you can still get your ass kicked if you're outnumbered."

"They're just messing with us 'cuz we're friends with Dana!" Rune argued. "That means they have an issue with her, and if they have an issue with her then they have an issue with us!"

"But Dana hates us!" Caitlyn rebutted. "She's not exactly worth getting killed over!"

"I beg to differ," Fred said.

"With all due respect, Anoichtó," Roy said. He pushed the others into the portal to end the argument then and there before jumping in himself.
