Am I Dreaming? [Primeval dominion of Sernpidal]

[Mard Szaks]

[1/20]

*CRACK!*

The sudden sound startled Mard out of his slumber. It had an association like nothing else in his life, being a reminder of his youth. A slap. Delicious, in a way, because it had woken him from an unwanted sleep. Painful otherwise, since the memories of it were. "Wha- what?" He seemed to be lying in a hole in the ground, as evidenced by the grass walls around him, and the colour of the sky above being the only things he could see.

It was time to move.

So Mard shifted his massive frame upwards, looking out of the small sink-hole towards the source of the sound. As he did so, he could not help but notice that the place was rather comfortable, cradling his frame wonderfully, luring him back to sleep. But he had to ensure he was safe first.

Sticking his head out of the hole, he called out: "Whaddaya doin'? Loud noises ain't fun." Then he stretched a little, and had to yawn, showing the whole array of his rather yellow teeth in a magnificent display.

Without waiting for an answer, he slunk back into the hole. The ones he saw were on their side, he was pretty sure.

No use fretting about it.

Just... sleep.

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]Was the only thing that was said as the gunfight died down, the last bullet spent and the last bones broken, before they collapsed onto the durasteel flooring. Khal sighed softly and tried to scratch his chin, until he realized he still had the helmet on.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]A sigh followed, after which Khal walked back towards the main area where he could just see the back of the runner trying to jump through the blasted up hole that he had created. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]Sometimes you wonder if people didn’t have a… [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px]better[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px] contingency plan, perhaps some kind of secret tunnel that could lead them to an even more secret landing pad with a secret stealth shuttle, just so that they could get out alive and safe if someone tried to assault their base head-on. But perhaps that was the entire point, who would be crazy enough to shutta-slap their way into a heavily-fortified compound and start laying down some smack?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]Exactly.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]Hidden and invisible kinetic energy wrapped itself around the fleeing man and pulled him right back, his form skidding back across the floor towards the Underlord.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]“Not so fast, Albert.” he would say with a smile, one which could not be seen right now. “We still have a lot to discuss, my friend.”[/SIZE]
