Wow! Great story, Rider. D'you think I'll be in a part? (Of course, I've been bad and inactive... *sigh*)

Keep up the good work, Rider! Quite amusing! "Follow the Spyders..." I wonder who's behind them... Us if we're following them! ;D ;D ;D LOL!

[glow=red,2,300]I got off my lazy bum and actually wrote last night! *beams with pride* OK, so I threw all this together between last night and this morning. I apologize.[/glow] Veritas Vitae Part Six By: Rider Somewhere in the darkness, a werelupe howled at the moon. Somewhere in the darkness, a gate creaked and moaned. Somewhere in the darkness, someone ate a marshmallow. (But that’s a different story for a different day.) Somewhere in the darkness, we were expected. * * * We were well outside the limits of the town, but not quite off the continent yet. The land here was rocky and dry, and I thought I saw several billygoats pass us. One of them was carrying marshmallows. When they thought that they were a decent distance from the city, the Spyders slowed to a leisurely pace. They even lined up in single file, which Linny again likened to Harry Potter. One by one thy crawled through a hole between two slabs of granite, a miniscule thing that not even the Meepits or Weepits could fit through. “Should I break out the pirate cannon?” Eggz asked. Elycien shook her head. “Too noisy. There has to be another way in. Some way for the humans to get in and out.” I nodded. “We split up and survey the area. Ninjas travel together. I’ll take the pirates, and Tracy, you take the mobsters. Snorkles can take everyone that doesn’t belong to one of those groups. Whoever finds the entrance is the 1337-est of the 1337. “So what are we waiting for?” NSQ asked, leaning leisurely on a section of stone. “Let’s get- AHHHHHH!” The stone gave way beneath her, and she tumbled down a dirt path that slanted downward and met the bottom with a sickening thud. Torches’ light flickered somewhere down there. Hastily, NSQ leapt to her feet and scurried back up the path. How she managed it up such a steep slope was beyond me. She reached the top of the slope and collapsed into a panting heap. Whoever the people carrying torches were, they didn’t pursue her. They merely closed the door behind her. Once again, it looked like only stone. “Are you alright?” Elycien asked. NSQ chuckled and got to her feet. “Okay, somehow I don’t think we’re welcome here.” “That’s the only entrance,” Crystal said. I just realized that the ninjas had been gone that entire time. “While you were goofing around, the ninjas searched the entire premises. There are no other entrances big enough for a human. The biggest one could probably accommodate a rabbit.” And inspiration struck Gav like lightning. * * * Nightfall came. More howling of werelupes. More creaking of gates. More munching of marshmallows. More genius on the part of a pirate. We watched from the bushes as those fools from the Vitae pulled our Trojan creation straight into their front door. Gav outlined his plan again. He pointed to Eri and I, crouched behind him. “Well, now Erileen, Ridergirl, and I wait until nightfall, and then leap out of the rabbit, taking the Vitae by surprise. Not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!” Ikkin poked Gav on the shoulder and raised her eyebrows. “Who leaps out?” “U-- u-- uh, Erileen, Ridergirl, and I, uh, leap out of the rabbit, uh, and uh...” ARTHUR: Ikkin: Ohh. BEDEVERE: HTML: Oh. Um, l-- look, i-- i-- if we built this large wooden badger-- [clank] [twong] ARTHUR: Ikkin: Run away! KNIGHTS: NTWFers: Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Run away! Yeah.

LOL!!! Brilliant, Rider! And not just because I was in it. But hey, being struck by inspiration really hurts, you know? *Rubs head*
Yeah, darn rabbits.
Keep writing!

I can't wait for the next part!

You lost me. Like, that entire ending, I was so confused.....would somebody mind explaining it to me? [glow=red,2,300]There's a movie, called "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." It's a spoof on King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail. In it, the knights of the round table come across a French castle full of insane French knights who claim to have the Grail but really don't. One of the knights comes up with the idea of the Trojan rabbit. But the knights forget to climb into the rabbit. And thus, the French knights lead an empty rabbit into their castle, discover that they were almost tricked, and catapult it over the castle walls and at the Knights of the Round Table.[/glow]

Me too. *cannot stop laughing* Great job, Rider! Makes me think of something my friend said the other day... "Sometimes I think life's just one big 'Lion King' parody." ((Long story, I'll tell you all later. XDD))
