The Amazons 2
The Amazon night is aglow with such beauty bestowed to only the few that can appreciate its soul The nocturnal crickets chirp to alert a mate so they may inherit a place in the jungles grace A rare harpy eagle cuddles up with her chicks for the night who nary a peep now that they are fast asleep Dreaming of prey they may yet catch for another day But within the hidden Amazon city an unbidden disturbance does grow for an alarm bell has been sounded and echoes off the walls Escaped prisoners have run amock so now the ensuing noise wakes everyone up

Lyn, already wide awake her intuition too strong perhaps called an empath by some it did make her know something bestow on Amazon chateau rows was opposed to the peace that regularly takes a seat within their replete native seat
She rouses Rip from the slumber he is already deeply under After a yawn and a stretch to his massive haunch he is ready to launch Her staunch saber cat is always at Lyn's side ever ready to abide her wishes as she leans down and kisses his head Then a scratch betwixt his ears a mighty "purrrr" then rears The bond between these two are one akin to mother and son and will never be undone

A royal guard throws open her chamber door and exclaims "Escaped prisoners are at large!" "My Queen follow me to the library!"

Lyn: "Perhaps you should knock next time you are shocked by escaped prisoners run amock?"

Guard: "Sorry my Queen to impede."

Lyn: "We were already up but follow you I will not Rip and I will take the express way." and just like that the two flew out the window vaulting down one hundred foot drop as if it were naught

The earth does quake neath their feet as they touch down the ground attempts rebound from the weight but shakes from the titanous break A thunderclap resounds from this massive gash in the street Then in a flash they dash towards the archives to derive insight from anyone who had might have seen the uninvited blight cast on them this night

They show up to spy Mage May being carried with an assist from General Liz and her brigade Her head still bloodied crimson red she immediately says "Thank the Gods you are here!" "Cyn is back she took to immediate attack holding nothing back." "She had a map to find the dragon's eye." "Hex and Min are lending an assist but... there is something more I must insist caution." "Hex landed hands on her book of enchant and implanted a spirit to steer them in the right way." "A horrid-looking thing a black mist appeared just out of flame." "It screamed an insane tone but to behold its glowing red eyes I can't deny it did incite fear dealt from within the like of which I've never felt I won't be fit to sleep without nightmares in repeat for at least a week."

Lyn: "Those three always made trouble for Ivy now it's on me to see they are promptly returned home to reap what they have sown." "Which way did they go?"

May: "To the East replete with demonic guide at Hex's side."

Liz: "We can handle it my Queen no need to intervene."

Lyn: "Think of it as more of an assist with this tryst." "We can travel far faster than your best could ever attest."

Lyn promptly goes inside to eye the mess the trio left She grabs the strap used to gag May and has Rip sniff away "Do you have the scent?" Rip then gives her a nod showing this beast is obviously smarter than one would think

They then make haste to fill in the lead our evil trio already have preceded Speeding away into the night with General Liz's brigade trailing far behind

Their dance through the trees could be perceived as grace for there was never a misplaced step each one lept with intent to maximize speed No obstacle could impede their progress

At Lyn's height of fourteen-foot three and a six-foot Saber Cat catching up from behind to make haste with nary a branch disturbed it could possibly be defined as poetry refined into an act But in fact, there was never a combined force like them before Ancient prophecy come to life to unite the Amazon tribe So they were both at one with the jungle that birthed them So even with the evil trio's satanic lead Lyn and Rip were shortly closing in to impede

Hours past and the morning sun rose to cast its rays directly into their faces Its beams interlaced between the giant kapok trees leaves setting the forest floor aglow with the God's light show A feast for the eyes for whoever was lucky enough to spy such beauty
Rip's nostrils now widely flared to take in more air the scent getting stronger with each giant leap through the trees closing in on the jewels keep

Suddenly, Lyn's intuition kicked in that's when she knew the two were getting close Then a dose of forewarn alarmed her to it's exist their demon seed's evil part she could feel it's dark in her heart She knew it didn't belong in this world and would cast it back the first chance she had

On the horizon, she could see barely...
