"Or perhaps"
jack's eyes widen as he obviously realizes something
"that leather bag Zeke had today was...not his."
Jack said blatantly
"maybe it was a present from a previous visitor"
feona commented
"But, what about all the stories about people never returning back from the god wars dungeon, this place isn't suppose to be a utopia, We are being tricked."
Jack's heart and mind switched to survival mode, the second he realized the truth of his own words
"well"
feona asked, Looking for her magic bow
Jack kept walking steadily to and fro the room, his face an unemotional mask as he thought of a solution.
"The caveway down here was just so damn complex, there was no way I could recall it all"
jack cursed, Jack felt a small prickle in the back of his mind.
"And we must be around half a mile down"
Jack felt another small prickle in the back of his mind
His heart was beating rapidly as he understood how much in trouble they really were in.
"And this place must be riddled with those ******* damn tongue flicking lizards!"
Jack fermented loudly as he could without making too much noise to alert the lizards
"how could we of been so foolish?"
Jack took a seat back down on the stone bench
Jack looks at feona who had been quiet this whole time
"feona, don't you have anything to say?"
Jack asked, Feona is staring into the wall, her eyes blank as if she's in deep focus.
"I know how to get us out of here"
Feona said dreamily.
"what"
jack asked
"I know how to get us out of here, I've been playing in deep pits my whole life, in the mountains of trolliheim"
Feona said
"My father used to make me memorize complex paths like this, for safety reasons, as my father was a diamond miner"
Feona commented
"alright"
jack said
Feona got up, slings her light green bow on her back, and pulls her leather arrow holder up, and puts five arrows inside.
"okay, just follow me"
feona says
Feona starts stepping steadily jack falls in after her
"okay, we need to

Feona gets up, slings her light green bow on her back, and pulls her leather arrow holder up, and puts five arrows inside.
"okay"
Feona says eyes still far away
"we just need to get to the main Entry way"
"to get there, we just need to follow this smaller pathway, to the pathway parrel to the entry way, then turn left, then right then up then...
"feona...," jack interuppted
"you don't need to tell me the entire directions i trust you enough"
jack said while smiling charmingly
"alright, fall in" feona smiled
The hallway looked clear to feona as she peeked her head out,
"okay it's clear"
They both steadily walked upwards from the pathway, The slippery cave floor needed to be given extra attention, The stag mites above dripping every now and then.
They continued walking steadily passing entry ways to unknown caves, A turn in the hallway was up ahead.
Feona this time took out a small mirror to reflect to see into the hallway, Then they both heard the sound of someone just stepping into this hallway from an outer hallway.
"quick" one of them murmured
The lizard man walked where feona and jack were, The lizard man continued walking down the strange environment.
Jack and feona emerge from one of the side caves
both grining like foxes at how they had avoided trouble
They continued down the turn, down an receding at first cave pathway, but then changing quickly into a going up slope. They passed no cave entries this time.
Feona and jack both heard a yawn like growl, It sounded like it was close, It sounded like it was around the corner about to make the turn, and meet them face to face.
The lizard man makes the turn still yawning, when jack murmurs a dark spell, the lizard falls unconscious hand still in the air yawning and stretching. Jack quickly runs up to his target, and catches the lizard before it falls, saving the lizard from a possible accident and from making any receding echos to alert others.
They continue on up another turn and upward another slippery pathway

They continue on up another turn and upward another slippery pathway, after traveling for about 10 mintues, They see a brighter, well lit area opening up.
"this is the main hall"
feona said
Feona pulls out her mirror to look around into the hall
"it's packed with them"
Feona said
precious minutes pass
Jack felt his muscles twitch
"can i see the mirror for a sec?" jack asked
jack grabbed the mirror and looked all around the main hall, It was indeed full of the lizard people garbed in yellow and red tunics, showing there muscular appearance, Jack looked up at the ceiling there was a huge metal pot hung by large metal chains four of them, latched to the four corners of the round metal pot, Jack could see the large flames emiting from the pot, The actual pot was around 40 feet below the roof of the cave so the flames never reached the top and burned the rock.
Jack knew what he had to do
He looks at feona and tells her the plan
Part 14 - Zeke
The chief lizard had something special planned for them, Zeke was supposed to soften the outsiders up, to make sure they remained calm and didn't suspect anything, but He hated that, last time they had outsiders in here zeke felt like rebelling. He hated having to put in the position of deceiving people to there deaths, His tribe was bad, he wanted out.
the chief lizard was starring zeke in the face, on top of the elevated ground area in the main hall, which they used for giving speeches and such.
"now zeke.."
the chief lizard said, knowing already the problems zeke had
"now zeke..., you are to be the one to sacrifice the outsiders today."
The old lizard man wraps his arm around zeke's shoulders, and turns him around so if anybody was watching they would only see there back
"now zeke, you're gonna do this" the old lizard whispered
"or you will be thrown out for "Kree'arra"..."
The old lizard patted zeke's shoulders
"but that shouln't be a problem should it?, Our tribe prides ourselves in it's worships."
The old lizard smiled

"now zeke, i shall leave you to your tendings"
The chief lizard was walking over to one of his lower ranks, to tell them it was time for the outsiders to be "introduced", The real reason they waited so long to start the ritual was the moon needed to get into the middle of the sky, They needed it to lock into the moon dial, they had drilled into the cave. when it was midnight the moon would shine light though the cave, all would be in a state of awe.
Before the lizard chief could finish giving instructions to the lower ranker.
A loud clash thundered
The lizard man looked for the source of the noise
then there was no light
The muffled quick talking of deep voiced lizards were heard, as they tried to discuss what just happened with one another, little did they know Jack and feona were weaving there way skillfully though the crowd out.
within one minute the lizard's eyes had adjusted to the darkness
"so we just continue down this hallway, then up a flight of stairs"
Feona said out of breathe, running with jack in pursuit
"yeah i remember that part"
Jack said while running
they both ran for another 15 minutes down the hall, they reached the flight of stairs which were carved out of hard granite and curving spinally. For another 20 minutes they climbed the winding stone stairs going upwards out of the ground. Finally they reached the top of the stairs, The area was fanned out flat, with a hard granite door covering the entrance and exit.
"I don't remember there being a door...,there wasn't a door before"
Feona said
They heard the echo of footsteps coming up the stairs.
Jack murmured all the common enchantment spells none of them worked on the door.
"oh no, we're trapped"
feona said
Suddenly a lizard runs up the stairs and into view
"zeke.., you double crossing..."
jack said
"wait!" Zeke cried
"save your insults, My people are almost up here, listen."
"The door you can't get though, can only be opened by a lizard man of my tribe, it's enchanted"

"The door you can't get though, can only be opened by a lizard man of my tribe, it's enchanted"
Zeke ran to the door, put his hand on the door, and uttered a simple word "Dele"
Suddenly the door disappeared
"come on"
Zeke said looking at jack and feona
"how can we trust you now?"jack asked
"you can't, but you have no choice, most of the routes out here are dangerous and hard to navigate, you have to trust me..."
Zeke reasoned
"yeah, well I think I'll rather go alone then with you"Jack said as he began to walk out"wait"
Feona said, as she grabbed jack's arm
"We should just follow him"feona says
"okay."
jack said looking at feona
"come on, they're almost here"
Zeke said
Jack and feona follow Zeke as he runs onto a forest path.
The forest was hard to keep a jogging pace in, as the ground was uneven, the ground had roots sprouting out of the ground, giving way to small holes. Occasionally jack would need to hold a vine or branch back from hitting him or feona, Zeke on the other hand was very adept at running in the forest.
After 20 minutes of jungling at a fair speed, They slow down to a walking pace, after another hour of walking, they arrive back at there original camp.
Feona sits down on one of the river rocks by the camp.
"I will kill you"
Jack grabs a hold of Zeke's tall figure and pushes him against a tree
"you tricked us..., I'm gonna make you pay"
jack said though clenched teeth
Jack holds up his left hand and it starts to burn a deep bright blue, Air begins to twist around his hand, A spark seeds out of the wind, soon his whole left hand is sparking.
"I'm not like them, please, i helped you escape"
Zeke said, the blue spell reflecting in his eyes
Jack still seeing red, shakes off his words
Jack suddenly see's zeke transform into Zaro's for a second
and jack loses his magical charge
jack eyes widen
"did you do something?"
jack asked
"let me go please..."
zeke pleaded
Jack lets go of zeke

"I'm gonna go for a walk"
Jack said
Feona and Zeke continued to laugh
"so you're gonna be forced to camp with us now huh"
Feona asked Zeke
"yes, I will, the tribe will most likely slay me on sight, that is the truth"
Zeke replied
"well, you already know what we are here for"
Feona smiled
"yes, I do, I am sorry how I acted earlier my culture is unfortunately ignorant, I will no longer speak that way."
Jack is walking along the forest, Enjoying the sights, The high mist, The stars barely visible though the high canopy, The cooling affect of the mist on jack's skin, it was both relaxing and refreshing.
He was thinking how he was gonna find the Kree'arra, when suddenly a loud thunderous screech blurs out all the of the forest, shaking the leaves around him, Jack jerks his head up and see's a giant pair of wings the size of 20 men from side to side, The wings flapped down again, The leaves from the canopy blew from the wind generated from the giant creature. The air blew jack's hair back. A second later it was gone out of view, It's great wings jack could be heard for sometime, as it flew.
"the thunder bird..." jack thought in awe of the magnificent creature.
Jack thought about reporting back in with Excalibur but then thought he couldn't help him with his current situation.
Jack returned back to the camp.
Jack thought about what he had to say, He apologized to zeke about threatening him earlier, then inquired him about what he had just seen, Zeke confirmed it was the legendary bird, that only came out on full moon nights, Zeke made a point to wave up at the full moon that was present in the sky.
"Tomorrow, since we are so tired from the escape today, but tomorrow Zeke, I need your help to track this great creature" jack said
Jack holds out his arm to Zeke who is sitting down on a log
"will you help me?"
jack asked
Zeke stands up, looks jack in the eye
"yes, and this time no deception"

Zeke roughly grabs onto jack forearm and jack does the same.
"And in return Zeke, I shall lead you to a land where you shall not have to face your tribe again"
Jake promised
"you make a good deal, Jack the zaro's magican, I accept your offer"
The next mourning
Jack and Feona set out to follow zeke to the thunder bird's hidding spot, Which zeke had agreed to take them to, He had also given jack the okay to slay the beast since zeke told them all they use the bird for is godless worshiping of the worst kind. Zeke lead them though the beautiful forest, Jack loved seeing the forest it calmed him, but he knew the forest had it's mysterious dangers of it's own.
"Jack" the lizard said seriously
alarmed jack replied "what?"
"don't move"
the lizard commanded
The lizard crept over to him, and filched a hotly red colored over sized ant off his shoulder.
"what was that?"
Jack asked somewhat frightened
"it was a "Heamore " The great fire ant, capable of killing a lizard in one bite, much less a human."
Zeke said
"much less a human eh","i guess i should thank you then."
Jack said with a smile looking at feona
They continued walking for half a day, at night time they set up camp at a suitable spot and slept. This process repeated 5 times, before they reached a weird unnatural looking tall stone tower, protruding in the middle of the forest.
Jack looked up at the odd looking man made looking tower, as they traveled closer and closer day by day, Jack had seed the tower 3 days ago, But it had taken all that time, to get to the actual tower.
"wow"
feona said, as she reared her read to look up at the full extent of the tower her hand on the cold surface.
Jack looked at the hard cold stone, it was grey, but jack couldn't say he had seen this type of stone or metal before. To jack it looked like a mix of metal and stone.
"so this is where the thunder bird lives?"
Feona asked
"yes"
Zeke replied
"it is asleep right now, as it hunts only at night"

"it is asleep right now, as it hunts only at night"
Zeke replied
"what are all these small white fragments?"
feona asked, looking at all the small white fragments surrounding the tower at weird places.
"you don't want to know"
Zeke simply replied
Jack walked away from the tower, trying to see the top, but it looked like the top was beyond the high mist of the forest.
"well we obviously can't climb up there to get at him"
jack murmured
"not climb"
Zeke smiled for once
"we walk"
Zeke said
"how do we walk up this tower?.."
Jack asked annoyed at the lizard
"My tribe was given this beast by the gods, It is said when the gods created the beast, They also created the tower allowing somewhat passage to the creature."
The lizard said
"Which means"
Zeke said
"that this tower has stairs in it or something leading to the bird?"
Feona fished
"exactly"
Zeke said
"so lead us to the entrance."
Jack murmured
Zeke explained the entrance to the tower is inside of the temple of the thunder bird, which is located south of here. Zeke explained that his people visit the temple every full moon.
The party sets up camp south of the tower, They set up camp on the shores of a small lake.
Jack took a walk, looking at the small lake, there were fireflies, the moon was almost full but not quite, Jack looks at the tower, it luminously seeming floating, the forest covering it's lower section, the moon behind it semi full.
Jack wondered what the Thunderbird was doing right at this moment.
"Hey..."
Jack looks behind him and see's feona
"hey"
Jack said
"come join me"
jack said
"hmmm"
she smiled Feona smiled at the chance to have a one on one conversation with jack.
Jack continued to stare into the lake watching the colorful fireflies dance over the water.
Feona walked up beside him.
"so what did you think about the lizard people's greeting?" jack asked feona once she had reached him
"oh, I thought it was lovely, They really knew how treat a guest"
Jack laughed

"if by you treat, you mean dismember, then they earned a flying saradomin long spear"
Jack joked
they both laughed
Jack felt the strangest compulsion to kiss her.
Suddenly a school of glowing yellow fish go out of the shallows of the lake, and skim the top. The yellow glowing fishes start jumping into air. Jack thought they were probably eating the glowing fireflies.
The feeling died
"I will never understand this forest." jack stared at the strange sight of glowing creatures eating.
"so tomorrow the temple..." Jack said his thoughts out loud
"I wonder what's gonna be inside?" feona asked
"I can't help but to think, we aren't gonna be greeted with cake."
Jack smartly said
feona smiled and lightly punched jack
Jack grinned
The party slept the under the stars that night, leaning against smooth river rocks for comfort. The cool wind blowing from the river, The occasional sound of a frog croaking loudly or a bird making a weird sound. The sound of the river's waves lapping reaching the shore, everyone slept deeply that night.
Jack woke up to find that Zeke had already made breakfest for them, He had a fire going, and fishes barbed by sticks roasting. Jack's stomatch growled at the sight. He looked down at his flat skinny torso, He looked at feona who was also very skinny. Jack had forgotten how much weight they had lost from rationing there supply of food.
Jack asked zeke where he had gotten the three fish, He replied that he got them from the lake this mourning using his tribe's special fishing tehcniques, Which zeke went further to explain was only do-able by a reptillian since the method invovled holding one's breathe for a extended period of time, and invovled claws.
The party setted out again after eating the breakfest again going south of the tower of the thunder bird. Jack almost didn't want to leave the moist lake air, but they had to continue, They took this time a path made by zeke's tribe, which jack and feona had a fairly easy time walking along.

They took this time a path made by zeke's tribe, which jack and feona had a fairly easy time walking along compared to yesterday's trail. They traveled past palm trees with small needels protruding out of the bark, but that dwindles in comparison to the next thing they saw.
"wow.." feona said eyes stuck on the thing that she had never thought possible
"Zeke care to fill us in on this?" Zeke asked starring at the massive spider web that covered five grown trees wrapping them in web also the web streched out. Jack saw there was tiny bugs everywhere trapped in the web
"What you are looking at is a spider web." Zeke replied
"that's not a spider web..." jack said
"It is a spider web, it was spung by a spider, do not touch the web for it is acidic and burns your hand roughly.
"how big is the creature that spung this?" feona asked
"not big, size your hand, but it's not the size of the creature's that make it a threat it is that they hunt in a pack. There could be three to five of those spiders in there, there favorite prey is boar or pig." Zeke replied
"well I suppose we better start walking before the little creeps come out"
jack smiled snidely
feona laughs
The party continues walking though the night, the moon offering enough light for them to walk, so they continue. They keep walking until noon the next day. At last Zeke warns them the terrain is dangerous to the temple. The path starts slopping down, and it starts to get rocky, this continues for another 5 minutes of walking down. Ahead of them jack see's a hill with grass growing beautifully over it.
"wow that is the most beautiful grass I have ever seen" jack commented
"yes, one of our tribes men is in charge of making the temple as perfect as possible." jack commented
Below the hill, Jack see's a stone door, "That must be the entrance" jack thought
They arrive at the temple, Zeke walks up puts his hand on the stone circle shaped door and says "delle", The door then starts rolling out of the way.
