I smiled down at Dani, and the two of us broke apart, and I stepped back from her. I looked over her long caterpillar body and mused over what to do.
The idea of convincing her about each ti did have its charms, but it was hardly what I would call efficient. It would be better for to carry her with , and it looked like it would be possible but tricky.
"What happens if you don't touch the rock? Can you still guide us, and we blend in?" I asked as I started to walk around Dani, looking her body over.
"I don't know, but I do rember how each ring works! I can still guide us, I think, but are you sure that you are going to be able to carry over?" Dani asked as she watched examine her.
I nodded, and then walked up, and bent down at the center section of the tiger-striped caterpillar's body, and scooped it up. Dani squeaked, but I didn't stand up right away and turned my head to face the shocked-looking girl.
"Put your hands on my shoulders, and I will hold your lower section up, and you can use your spike tentacles to hold on, but just don't grip too tight! I only just healed from the last marks you left!" I said with a chuck, and Dani turned away with what looked to be an embarrassnt for a mont.
Then Dani turned back to with a sigh and nodded, moving around to climb onto my back. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I slowly stood up, and her body was surprisingly light.
The underside of her abdon was a soft fur-like velvet in my arms. The orange and black upper section was smooth and felt nice, pressing softly into my chest.
This was going to be awkward, but I should have no problem clearing thirty feet in the condition that I was in now. I was more worried about overshooting and hitting sothing on the other side.
"Is there anything that I should be worried about? Like on the other side where we are going? Any buildings or walls that we might crash into?" I asked as I started to back peddle, but I had to dance out of the way of so invisible incest that I had just backed into.
"Yes, I would try not to overshoot the ring too much; there is a long wall with gates to walk through on the other side. There is about my body length if I lay down and stretch out," Dani explained to , and I nodded.
[She is about ten feet, so you will have to be careful. Dani had a soft body, so I don't think I need to tell you what will happen if you crash into sothing.]
That was a disturbing thought to have as I backed up to get so good distance. This was becoming less and less of a good idea, but I was a good judge of strength, so I had faith.
"Are you ready for this?" I asked.
"Is it okay to say no?" Dani asked, and I laughed, but I understood how she felt, but this was the best way to do it, maybe.
[That is a lot of indecision.]
'Of course, it is, dick head! I could make her go splat if I hit the wall on the other side! I don't want to kill her, but I don't know how hard it will be to convince her when I get to the other side! You saw how the ring reacted when I was close to it! Whatever is controlling them knows I am here, and it might try to do sothing to her with the Libra Orichalcum Ring.'
[That is a fair estimation of what we know. Maybe it is best just to leave her here and power through this.]
'You know more about these things than I do. Can you just power through them, or am I going to hit a bunch of resistance the entire way?'
[I honestly don't know. I have read things about them before, and I was going to suggest them far later on, but they should not be here, so I didn't look into them more. If I was in your system, I could pull the info upon them, but I am blocked like you.]
This was frustrating, but I couldn't wait around, so I started to run at the mirror wall, preparing to leap the Libra Orichalcum Ring. I picked up speed, got to where I needed to be, and got ready to jump, sure that this would work.
Are you sure?
The thought sent chills through my body, and I missed my jump. I tried to stop, but I was going too fast, and I was holding Dani.
[What just happened?!]
I had no ti to think; I just spun, uncoiling Dani from and throwing myself backward.
Dani was tossed off , but I still slid, and I felt my foot touch the warm Libra Orichalcum Ring. I closed my eyes, and the world dropped from around , and I lost all sense of having a body.
"Why do you resist? We are inevitable, and no matter how much you struggle, we will always win!" Said four male voices simultaneously, but I had no way of telling what they were.
There was one thing that I could tell right away; I didn't like them. Damn cheesy ass lines!
I opened my eyes, and I was in space, but I was in my old solar system, and I was facing the Scale of Balance, or the constellation of it. There was nothing else, but there was Earth; A place that I left with a haunted feeling as I looked down at it.
"I don't know who you are, but there is no way that I am going to ss with . I have things to do, and now I have found out that I can use these rings to help .. That ans you have sothing I want, and you are doing bad things with them!" I shouted mouthlessly, but my words still rang out, making the void of space seem to tremble with fury.
