| "We have reason to beleive that my best friend is in your land, being held prisoner by the shee leader. My best friend is a mernorn, and soon she'll reach adulthood. When mernorns reach adulthood, they can no longer breathe air. Also, the mernorns won't be happy about you interfering with the rescue of one of their people. Do you want them to get the Kai Norns attacking you?" "I'd better talk to our leader about this." He said. Turning, he pushed a gadget. Then an elevator came down and another ettin came over. That ettin was old, and she had blond hair. She was only slightly bigger than the boy. "What does your friend look like?" She asked. "Well, she's an adolescent mernorn." "What do mernorns look like at that age?" "Boys look dark blue and girls are golden." She seemed surprised. "We haven't seen any golden norns around here." "She's here. I know it. Someone saw her and the shee leader go here." I insisted. "Who?" "I did." The shee worshipper girl said. "They went up that lift" She pointed at the lift we'd gone up. "And who are you?" The old ettin asked "Alima." She said. "I noticed her because she looked so strange. I'd never seen mernorns before." |
