Author's Note: Wow, I can't believe how much time's gone by! Never fear because I'm back and hopefully posting at least one chapter for each of my stories in the coming days. Tomorrow and Wednesday it won't be happening because unfortunately I have my senior project presentation to worry about. Wish me luck! And don't forget! I don't own (at least, as far as I know) so, you don't sue!

Chapter 10: Repercussions and Diabolical Plans

Yakumo and the others moved towards the next town and as far away from the last battle as possible. Time was running out. They all knew it. The eclipse was less than days away. Finally, Binka decided to break the ice, "what town are we going to? I mean, do they have any human food?"

"Of course, Binka! The most scrumptious food in all the land! I believe that it's called Almond Town." Kutal replied cheerfully.

"Almond Town? You made that up." Sago challenged.

"I would never lie about something like that!" Kutal defended.

"I beg to differ, what about that time you led us to the killer bees?" Sago reminded.

"T-That was different." Kutal stuttered.

"How?" Sago asked his voice heavy with sarcasm.

"Oh, you wouldn't understand, Sago, it's very complicated." Kutal recovered.

"Try me." Sago crossed his arms.

"Look, just trust me, okay?" Kutal finished trying to get off the subject.

"My Lord," Sukii bowed before the giant rock. "Mushra's friends are nearing our location. They are only a day away. They are stopping at a town called Almond. If we could stall them and continue forcing nightmares into Mushra's mind, our plans shall succeed. But should his friends come too late, and you have absorbed Mushra's soul, his nightmares shall become a reality and anyone who stands in your way shall be annihilated!"

"Send Xi and Zhen to destroy Almond Town and Mushra's Friends. You said he had nightmares of destroying that pitiful human Yakumo and his two Enterran friends? Spare them so they make it here, 'just barely'. That way, both your plan and your backup plan will work out. Continue giving Mushra his nightmares, so the brainwashing is more than effective. Take his powers and crush his spirit so that there will be no fight in him to survive what he is about to do in the coming days."

"Yes, Master." Sukii stood up and disappeared into the silence laughing in the darkness as she was off to put her master plan into action.
