    Chapter 2

    Laura and Travis slowly descended to the first level of the labyrinth to Begin their Journey. The air was thick with the stench of rotting food. people that had ventured down before have told of goblins living on the first level and that this is the easiest level to get past if you are smart.
    "Hey, hey!! whats in this random door up against the rocks?" Travis yelled back to Laura
    "N...N...NO!!!!" Laura shouted back as Travis was attempting to open the door
    As Travis looked back at Laura the door swung open and there were 3 male goblins with thick clubs standing on the other side of the entrance. Laura raised her palm to cover her face as yet again Travis has done something silly.
    "WATCH OUT!!!"
    All three Goblins lunged at Travis, He Quickly Turned and blocked 2 of the goblins attacks with his shield but the third goblins strike grazed Travis's Right arm leaven a gash that bled out slowly. The gash on his arm made it hard to wield his sword for when he tried to swing back at the goblins searing pain went straight through his arm. Laura standing a was back started chanting a spell
    "Isha, Marfe, Talos, Shal"
    A green light shimmered on Travis's arm temporarily stopping the pain allowing him to strike back at the goblins.
    "Now Travis fight back"
    Without hesitation Travis swung his sword into the chest of the one goblin that had injured him dropping the goblin to the ground almost instantly. the other two goblins turned and ran at the site of their fallen comrades death. Travis quickly shuffled back away from the door prepared for another attack.
    After a few minutes of silence all of a sudden there was a massive crash within the door way as if something where moving at a high rate of speed and was rather large in side. As the sound got closer a huge ogre emerged out from the door way wielding a massive club about double the size of Travis. Travis with a bit of fear in his eyes prepared himself to block the first attack from the ogre.
    "Idiot don't just stand there evade the blows" Laura said with a sigh
    As the ogre swung his mighty club Travis quickly evaded the attack and slashed at the ogres leg making it kneel on its right side disabling the ogre from having to much mobility.
    "Coma, Thanas, Ragos"
    Instantly Travis's body seem to be frozen in place making him unable to attack the ogre.
    "The ogre doesn't need to die, it knows its defeated" laugh said with sympathy in her voice.
    Laura walked past the ogre who was still bent over from the wound it had substained. Laura grabbed Travis's arm that had been hit and pull him away.
    "Hey, that hurts!"
    "Next time don't just go walking into doors without knowing what you getting you self into. That was a goblins home, their protective and if you just walk in their gonna fight to keep their families safe just like you and me. if you would of just walked past there wouldn't have been a problem"
    "Oh"
    Laura shook her head in disappointment as Travis ashamed of himself lowered his head. Laura let Travis out of her spell and started to walk down the cavern.
    The cavern was riddled with doors and caves which most where homes to goblins and ogres. The stench of rotting food and rotting flesh was strong in the cavern. Travis nervous to touch anything followed closely behind Laura as she led the way.
    "You have never been here before have you?
    "Uh.......No"
    Laura sighed when Travis responded, she had in her mind that maybe taken Travis along was actually not a good idea.
    "I'm gonna only explain this once so listen up"
    Laura turned to face Travis to explain what was going to be expected but as she suddenly turned Travis ran right into her knocking them both over onto the ground. Travis had quickly raped his arms around Laura to cushion her fall. with them both on the ground with Travis on top of Laura, he gazed into her eyes. For a couple sections there was complete silence as for both of them looked right at each other.
    "Hey, How long are you going to stare at me on top of me?"
    "S.....s....sorry"
    Travis quickly jumped off of Laura and gave her a hand to her feet. Laura brushed the dirt off her skirt and continued to walk.
    "Be more careful yeah?"
    "Sorry"
    "Lets make camp for the night and ill explain what i was going to before, before you ran me over"
    As both of them looked around for a nice place to set up camp Travis was gathering lose sticks and woof from broken trade carts and broken doors lying around. Laura went a bit ahead to find a place to sleep.
    "Hey I found us a good spot" Laura shouted as she ran over to Travis.
    Laura grab a bunch of the wood outta Travis hands and walked towards the small cave that she had found that wasn't being used by anyone. Both with wood in hand they made it to a small damp cave that was good for maybe three to four people, perfect for the two of them. Laura put the wood that she had taken from Travis into the middle of the cave as Travis took his wood to the back of the cave to save for later in the night.
    Travis found two rocks to smash together to begin a fire. his attempts where futile at hitting the two rocks together, not even a spark.
    "Fira, Solom, Thantas"
    A bright green flash over the wood and suddenly the wood lite up into a bright blazing fire.
    "Amazing, How much magic do you know?"
    "Not much offensive spells, I've only really learned protective and healing based spells"
    "But you wont heal my arm?"
    "Nope, I'll let that stand as a reminder of your stupidity back there"
    Travis lowered his head as Laura was badgering at him about what to do and what not to do in the labyrinth. The nights were cool down there but the flame from the fire they had made kept the small enclosed area warm for them to sleep in. You could hear sounds of goblins and people battling in the distance.
    As night past nothing interesting happened, but as day time crept up Laura became restless in her sleep, she began to breathing heaver as she tossed and turned, so hard that it woke Travis up. Travis quickly quickly jumped to Laura side to see what was wrong.
    "hey, hey! are you ok?" Travis asked as he gently shook Laura's arm.
    "hey, hey! wake up!!" Travis began to shake her harder
    Laura opened her eyes slightly
    "Just leave me alone for right now" she said as she dozed back out.
    Laura's heavy breathing continued to stay heavy as Travis ran to get water for her. Laura's magic depended highly upon the sunlight so when was unable to get any sunlight the power used would be taken straight from her. using to much magic would result in her dieing if she didn't get into the sun.
    Travis came running back with a bucket of water. He grabbed a cloth and soaked it in the ice cold water, he placed it gently on her head trying to cool her down a bit. Time passed by slow as Travis sat over Laura worried that something was wrong. Laura opened her eyes slowly and saw Travis watching over her.
    "Thanks"
    "Are you alright?"
    "Yeah, just my body doesn't like that it can't get any sunlight"
    Travis leaned over top of her removing the cloth and gently placing his forehead against hers, this startled Laura but she was to weak to move much. Laura passed back out a few seconds later. Travis let her sleep for they were no strapped for time, what was most important was Laura's health. Travis drifted off as he was watching over Laura.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dream~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Hey, hey"
    a little girl about the age of 10 started running across a bridge towards a little a boy about the same age.
    "Hey!!" the little girl yells again.
    The boy slowly looks over to the girl and smiles
    "Do you have to leave? I don't want you to!!" the little girl asked as she was trying to catch her breath
    "Yeah" the boy responded
    "Make me a promise? If we ever meet again we will be together yeah?"
    The boy as first hesitated to answer but nodded
    "Promise! Me!! You have to say it"
    "I promise"
    The little girls face a bight red shinned with happiness they both held hands and linked fingers as they both looked out into the field of green flowers.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dream End~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Travis, wake up you can't sleep all day"
    Travis quickly jumped up startled by his dream and by Laura waking him up. The day was half over as they got ready to set off for the second floor of the labyrinth. Travis grabbed the remaining sticks that were not used for the fire and put them in his backpack. They were ready to set off to the next level of the labyrinth.
