Great Siberian Cousins

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.computer.ultima.dragons (More info?)

Two Shadow Dragons and a squad of Dark Knights were blocking the way ahead
of the Cousins.

"Lord Gargos sent us this way fools!" a Shadow Dragon roared, "Queen Saihve
isn't the only one who can see in this castle! MWAHAHAHA!"

(I'll just add something here because AFAIK the last time our heroes were
still behind the portal door debating whether to follow in search of
Jonathan who got teleported somewhere else in the castle).

"Where did it teleport Jonathan to then?" says Daria, pale-faced. "Should we
go after him?"

Before anyone can answer, the companions are suddenly aware of the terrible
noise coming from the tunnel behind them. Daria turns around, her heart full
of dread.

The Cousins, now trapped between the advancing foes and the treacherous
portal leading into unknown, groan in despair. "Well, we have little choice
now," gasps Argent. "We must try our luck with this damned door!" He
disappears through the portal trap, followed almost instantly by the rest of
his companions.

"Where are we now?" Argent asks.

After a quick look around Jacrose exclaims "NOT ANOTHER RED ROOM!"

"*Moan* Will ya quiet down some, Jacrose? I'm trying to sleep over here."
said a sleepy voice in a corner of the room.

In Saihve's lab...

"Time to heal the Dragon Orb, Marion." croons a seductive woman's voice.

"Time to heal... Time to heal..." Marion chants as she approaches, and takes
the orb from the Witch Queen's hands.

The Dragon Orb remains silent and dark as it gets healed, awaiting the
cousins to arrive...

"Stop this bickering -now-!" says Altheus impatiently, glaring at Jonathan.
"We must get out of here as soon as possible, no doubt Saihve's servants are
on their way to pick up their sleeping victims."

"Too late!" groans Firesting, as they all hear the distant sounds of
clinking armour getting closer to the room. "We'll be caught anyway!"

"Not if we have the advantage of surprise," says Argent firmly. "No doubt
they expect us to be asleep and helpless." He looks at Jonathan. "So hold
your horses and keep your cold magic for the -real- enemies, you hothead!"

Everyone falls silent as one of the room's walls suddenly reveals a white
rectangle of a door... which bursts open.

They burst open to reveal...

Sarwe with Ramjen and Shadow..

"Quickly, before my sister realizes what is going on."

"What are you playing at, witch?" Argent asks critically,
"Why are you switching sides?"

With the rest of Argent's party staring at her, waiting for an answer, she
replies: "Lord Gargos and Saihve have no more need of me."

/Yeah right!/ the spirit inside Daria humphed.

/Quiet, and let her finish./ Altheus warned it/her. Pleas go on."

"The Orb is almost ready for Saihve to bring her Lord back from the Prison
Dimension." Sarwe continued, "To stop her from doing so you need these two
in your party, and..."
