"What is gremlin precious? What is gremlin and what is sensei?"
Jack turned to the voice just in time to see the ugly creature appear from his stealth like state. Gollum slinked over on all fours and gripped at the bars of the cage as he pressed his face near. His overly large eyes darted left and right sniffing and smiled as he focused on the Guardian. "Tells us precious, tells us precious. we wants to knows. What is a gremlin and what is a sensei? Are they delicious?"
Jack tensed up at the smacking of the pale green creature's violet lips. Airyonna moved to grab at or strike the Gollum, but the slippery bastard was fast and out of arms reach faster then she could connect. She punched the rustic matel in frustration, but it did nothing besides break the skin of her knuckles. Her face flushed, but she tried her best to hide her pain. The blood dripped from her clenched fist in slow rapid drips, hitting the dark ground, leaving the reddish pool that grew with each drip. It shimmered slightly in the moonlight.
Frost looked up and noticed that the moon was actually bright here, and that they were in a clearing of the Tangled Greens. The Guardian of Winter stared in the sky, and had to wonder if the Man on the Moon up there watching? Was he just going to let this happen if he was? Of course he was, the Man on the Moon never really intereferred. Never really talked or gave guidance, he just watched. It was annoying. Jack looked back at the pool of blood, and then to the clenched fist.
The Guardian moved and grabbed the konoichi wounded hand. She looked at him startled, but he wasn't going to be like the Man on the Moon. He wasn't going to just stand there and watch. He was going to help if he could. Jack focused on the wound, it's blood flowing onto his hand. He looked deep inside and tried freeze the wound, just enough to stop the blood flow. It wouldn't hurt her, and would numb the pain. He tried. He focused, but he had chosen Savior as his source of power and without it, he was useless.
"Jack, you're warm. Is everything ok?" Airyonna had a genuine look on her face. She wasn't scorning him for touching him, and she seemed to know what he was trying to do. All Jack could do was shrug and bit down on his own sleeve, and he tore and yanked till he exposed his forearm and a makeshift bandage for her hand. He tied it carefully, knotting the cloth in her palm to keep maximumcoverage over the wound, and make sure she was in control of the bandage itself.
"It's all I can do. I'm sorry. The ugly thing looks hungry and if he's going to eat anyone I'd rather it be me."Jack offered.
"It's fine. Thank you. But, you shouldn't do that. I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself."
"It's just what I seem to have a knack for, besides, from what Arith said...." Jack didn't finish it. He wondered if Gollum had heard that part of the conversation, but if not, didn't want to tell it all. The Konoichi, both of them, as Alaina stood beside Airyonna, nodded.
"He can eat you guys, but I would laugh if he tried to eat me." Arith had bent down as close as he could and was actually having a noise making contest with the pale creature.
"Why would you laugh precious?"
"Because Lythian blood will never be spilt on these lands, precious. Ya'know, I have seen a few gremlins in my life..." Arith paused.
'Yes preacious?" Gollum licked his lips.
"But , you are actually uglier then any gremlin, I have ever seen in my life." As Arith finished his statement, he stood up and let out a loud laugh, and smacking his leg. You'd think Arith had told the funniest joke to himself from the loudness of his laugh. Jack smirked at it, and the female ninja did as well, but all the noise was attracting to much attention to them. All the orcs that the Guardian could see, were looking in their direction.
In their direction, and focusing on the noise.
Jack realized what was going on and suddenly kicked in laughing as loud as he could. The other two followed for a few moments and even Gollum danced around laughing, till he stopped, realizing he had been duped.
"You know what else is funny precious?"
"What?" Arith stopped his laughing and cocked his helm, as if he was really interested.
"As soon as Graxxis wakes up, he will torture you. He will make you sream. He will make you talksssss. You will talksssss. And then I will get to each you all. Eat you all, nice and warm and RAW!!! And let you watches me precious!"
"Oh, you can try. You can try as hard as you want. Let me know how that works out for you. Actually you bore me. Bring on your Graxxis on, he might interst me." Arith turned his back on Gollum and folded his arms.
The pale skinned creature let out a few mumbles and curses and the Lythian looked back, "Unless you want to play a game?"
Arith turned around then and knelt lower and darkened his voice, "Would you like to play a game?"
Gollum's eyes lit up, "Yes precious, yes!"
Arith stood up, and walked over and patted Jack on the shoulder, "You're up. I don't play games."
Frost looked back at Arith almost speachless. He thought Arith was running the plan of distraction, but all of a sudden he was put into the spotlight. Jack took a few steps towards the ugly creature, who almost looked happy and eager for a game. The Guardian paused for a moment, and rememberd his favorite game, 'Riddles or You owe me'. It was always simple and he had learned a math problem at school, that he used as the game winner.
"Let's play 'Riddles or You Owe me'." Jack offered a sincere smile.
"How do you play it precious?" Gollum seemed eager but hesitant.
"Who ever goes first, asks a riddle, if the other answers, they get to make the riddle. It goes on until someone gets wrong, then the loser owes the winner a single favor." Jack held his hands out as if to see if Gollum would accept.
"Only if you askssss reallllll Ridlessss , preciousssss. No dirty cheat like whats in it's pocketsessss."Gollum seemed to have played a game close to this before and lost. Or won with such a stupid trick.
"That's fine. That's actually easy enough. But sense you made the rules, I should go first right?" Jack hoped his trick would work, if not, he had a few riddles in the back and would go ahead and use this on turn one.
"Yes preciousssss. You first." Gollum grinned. Being last did have his advantages.
"Okay, first to not get a riddle right wins right?" Jack had to make sure.
"Yesssss precioussss." Gollum smiled. Seemed he had a few good ones up his sleeves
"Okay", Jack took a deep breath and looked at the moon and smirked as he looked back at Gollum, "If it would take Asuma seven minutes to kill everyone one here, spare you, and save us. And it would take Retane five minutes to to kill everyone, 'maybe' spare you, and save us. How long would it take for them both to save us?"
Gollum looked and listened to the riddle. He let out a few grunts and ignored the threat Jack offered. "Five and seven? Two minutes more then the other? Faster one will do it faster, but the slower one will help make it faster.Err It's easy precious..."
"Wrong." Retane dropped from the sky and landed in between the cage and Gollum.
Jack turned to the voice just in time to see the ugly creature appear from his stealth like state. Gollum slinked over on all fours and gripped at the bars of the cage as he pressed his face near. His overly large eyes darted left and right sniffing and smiled as he focused on the Guardian. "Tells us precious, tells us precious. we wants to knows. What is a gremlin and what is a sensei?
