Ma G's Saga, part 14 or The Trouble with Clones

Dorthy openen a small door that they had come upon at the end of the tunnel. She led Sir Das, Sir Ghoul, and Grace through it. Inside was a medium size chamber that was dimly lit.

Sir Ghoul looked around the room, noting the strange drawings upon the wall. They were pictures of some sort of reptiles, not grendels though. No these were longer of body, with scales, and some had wings. They were dark looking, almost evil in their apperance.

"What are these things," asked Sir Ghoul.

"My brother calls them dragons," replied the Lady Dorthy. "They're something he made up in his head, and he calls them after himself. As a matter of fact, we're in what he calls the Dragon's Lair!"

"I've heard of him," said Sir Das. "He's kinda weird from what's been said about him! Hey, does he really have scales like they say?

"Yes, it's true," said Dorthy. "He was born that way! It isn't his fault, it's that fault of those scienetists down in the gene lab! They were exprimenting with those ettin things, and his mother.... His mother accidently got exposed to some of their genes! It isn't fair, They go to far!"

"Lady Dorthy, we're so sorry," began Grace. "I'm sure Das didn't mean to upset you."

"He didn't upset me," exclaimed Dorthy. "It's the scienetists! They should all be gone! Destroyed! We all should for allowing them to do all they have done to Albia! I'm so glad you have came Grace, it means the prophcy is true! The time of the Shee is over!"

"SISTER!", came a voice from behind them suddenly. "Calm yourself, and stop your ranting!"

Grace and the others turn around almost at the same time. Out of the darkness came a creature towards them. It was as tall a Sir Ghoul and covered in shiny, green scales. It stared at them with big eyes and it's nostril holes flaring...

************************************

Daniel and his clone, Silvestone were waiting for Daljit to arrive. They couldn't believe what he had told them about his discovery. It was so unexpected, but of course astronmy was not their field. No, genetics was what Daniel studied, it fasinated him. So much that he had cloned himself just to have enough time to everything he thought needed done.

It had worked out really well. It did for the most part anyhow. It had gotten a bit confusing the first time that Daniels partner had met the clone and didn't know. And the fact that the clone was attracted to him as much as Daniel was. That had been a little difficult to work out. Other then that though all had gone well.

At this time Daniel wished his partner was here though. He would know how to handle this news of Daljlit's. To bad he was still missing though, he had gone to explore the purple mountains six months ago and still hadn't returned...

**********************************

Daljit decided to make one stop on his way to Daniels lab. He wanted to talk to Lis and Lyz. See what kind of insight the two of them might have. For a moment he thought about finding Liz, but she being a creature made by cloning Lyz and Lis together, was very contrary and at times seemed a little petty. Liz seemed to have inherited the bad qualities of the two instead of the good.

As he approached the level their home was on he changed his mind about seeing them. Though they agreed about many things at times they could get quite argumenetive. Right now he didn't have time for that, nor time for their competiveness.

So he returned to his path and continued on.....

******************************

Dark Novice Alyssa and Light Novice Snow entered into a main shaft. They followed it for a sort time and then went up one level. Once there they headed for their only shared friend's quarters. Tonia should be there right now and she would have a change of clothing for them and maybe something to eat.

***********************

Emy looked at Liz and then said, "I know what to do, or at least where to go."

"Where", asked Liz wondering what was going on in the High Priestesses head.

"We'll go to Tonia's quarters," replied Emy. "We can talk there, She has protections around her place! Demi-god Dal shouldn't be able to affect me there! She's smart and she knows more about Dal then anyone."

Say that, Emy grabbed Liz by the hand and header for the main shaft......

In the garden of carrots,
there I saw playing ferrets.
and above in the sky,
I saw beutiful butterflies...
and butterflies are free,
do you think are we?

I weave a tale,
there's a creature with scales.
and a female shee wales,
her terrible tales.

And yet I still ask,
are we, are we free?
