Chapter 13

I swam blindly through the molten lava trying but failing to imagine that it was water. When I broke through the surface, I frantically searched for Nanaya. To my relief I found her a few feet behind me struggling to swim through the thick lava.

Up on the ledge, the Morlocks shook their fists and threw spears and spells at us, but luckily their efforts failed.

“Come on!” I said, urging Nanaya to follow me out of range of the ugly bastards.

Swimming through the lava was a son of a bitch, and by the time we reached the closest little island we were both completely bushed. After dragging ourselves out of the lava and up onto the rocky beach, we laid there panting for at least five minutes.

“Remind me never to do that again,” Nanaya said.

“Amen sister,” was all I could manage to utter.

The Morlocks hadn’t tried to pursue us across the lake, which was good for us, but bad for the rest of our friends. I sat up and peered across the lake of lava, but I couldn’t see Tweak and the others.

“How soon can you shift again?” I asked Nanaya as I helped her to her feet.

She tapped on her interface and grinned. “About two minutes ago.”

“Great, let’s go find the others before they get into trouble.”

Nanaya shifted to her dragon form and we flew out over the lake toward the far side of the cavern. The Morlocks were still racing across the cavern, but we had slowed them down enough for our friends to get away. We found them waiting for us at the mouth of a tunnel in the back of the cavern and swiftly landed.

“Sam!” Trinity yelled and rushed over to me to give me a hug. “We thought you were dead. Why the hell would you jump in a lake of lava?”

“We had no choice,” I said glancing back at the Morlocks who were fast approaching. “Come on, let’s get moving.”

We raced to the tunnel and hurried inside with the creatures hot on our heels. The tunnel was small enough that Wally had to bend to avoid hitting his head on the ceiling, and it was about an arm’s length wide. I thought that maybe we could block it up with something, but Nanaya informed us that it wouldn’t be necessary.

“There’s a chute up ahead that the Morlocks are afraid to enter,” said Nanaya as she urged us onward.

The sounds of our demonic pursuers began to fill the tunnel, when Nanaya stopped and turned to the right to peer into a glowing alcove dug out of the wall.

“This is it.” Nanaya climbed up into the alcove and swung her feet around into a hole. “Come on Wally, let’s go for a fun ride.”

“Fun ride?” he said, perking up.

“Make sure that he gets in,” Nanaya told me before slipping into the chute.

“Nan!” Wally cried, and there was no need for me to coax him to follow her. A second after she disappeared, he leapt headfirst into the alcove.
