Chapter 11 (8th June 2001 CE*) The 2 linewalkers Lix and Ivan - Ivan is a walker between the worlds; he says the leylines of this world have been redirected. I prepare a spell - Magical Drain - to try and stop the draining off of the leyline energy out of this world by 'detonating' it up inside the vortex. Lynchpins are placement (in vortex), time delay (6 seconds), Area of effect (1 mile radius), Dispel word (stop!), drain exit (into shadows). Armand is a little impatient at doing nothing, but wants to wait to for Helgrimm to return. Nothing appears to happen from the spell. A form appears in front of us, demon form. Starts to shrink and take on a human form - it is a naked Michaela. She says she can't remember who she is, where she's been etc etc. Papilia mind reams her. No info but her name. I ask Michaela why and how she got here - she says she doesn't know. I slap her across the face and she collapses. I mind ream her - she appears to be telling the truth, she knows nothing but her name. A large aircar and troops come by overhead. We're captured (we allow it) and taken by aircar to a prison camp. The females (Michaela, Papilia & I) are taken together inside a compound. We're menaced by some of the male prisoners, the unconcious Michaela is groped a bit. We fight back, and a brawl erupts. Papilia does some damage to some, as do I. Erwin appears and gets us out of the compound. We go together to the ruins. Erwin decides to go into the vortex to see what can be done. He goes up to it and gets sucked up inside and disappears. * Note: CE = Chronology of Earth |
