Zak steps out of a blank wall, startling a few market-goers who turn tail and run. Zak winces, hating to make an entrance like that, and realizes she has no idea where eveyrone else is at the moment...She wanders the city for awhile, taking no note of the various goods being shoved at her by eager merchants, who eye her jewelry eagerly, thinking she must have more than enough coin for their wares. Zak wishes, too late, that she'd changed into something more suitable for an adventure, but vanity wouldn't have let her anyway. Besides, she wasn't supposed to BE on the adventure.
She glided along to the castle, stopping only once in the meantime to ask for directions. The gate guard was reluctant to allow her entry, until Eric, walking by with Presto, recognized her and pulled her inside, filling her in on the situation.
"One of your crazy friends thinks he's going to save Terry by putting himself to sleep," he says, looking more than a little skeptical. "And the others are wandering around through the catacombs. And that kender-girl is out in the gardens, talking to our Storyteller- better that than wandering around the palace looking for things to borrow, I guess..."
Presto grinned. "She makes a darn good cappuchino, though. WE haven't had one since..well, Earth. You could take some lessons from that mug," he told his hat severely. The hat glowed benignly at him.
Zak frowned, wondering who she should talk to first. "The....aah...the catacombs, I guess. I don't want to wait for too long, because Venger said the object--"
The two jumped and stared at her. "You talked to Venger?" they said together, looking more than a little suspicious. "Why?"
"I didn't have much of a choice, when he came snooping around my library...just take me to the others, will you?" After so many centuries of dealing with it, Zak was tired of trying to explain the nature of her geis. "He said they'd already found what they were looking for, so he'll be attacking soon. Maybe. I don't know what he's up to."
The two glanced at each other, and shrugged, leading her down into the darkened maze, where she listened for the sounds of her comrades...she thinks she hears Kryschenn's voice, along with another she doesn't regocnize. "Krsychenn...?"
