As useful as she was, it was just too dangerous to ask her to keep spying on Quan Chi. That thing is way too dangerous.'' He looked away briefly as he thought. ''Damn! ``said Fuijin, ``You're right to be worried. The wolf nodded and then whimpered slightly. As if he heard the wolf talking to him Fuijin said, ``He what?!'' The wolf stopped growling and sat on it haunches. Let me guess why you can't stand you new partner.'' ''Let's not start that again, ``Fuijin said with a smile, ``You're the one that wanted to see me, remember. The wolf's head went up with a start and a growl in surprise. ''Nice night for a walk, ``said Fuijin from the other side of the stream. The wolf stopped and took a deep drink from a cold stream. The one it sought would find her, rather than the other way around. ``Yes, I do want you to look for her, ``he said, ``but first I want you to deliver a small message to an old friend of yours.'' Seeing Jola's smile turn cruel, he added with a small laugh, ``Not that type of message, but perhaps next time.'' He then handed her a scroll.Ī dark wolf loped through the woods with no destination in mind. Growling slightly, Quan Chi wondered at the woman's apparent calm but decided to ignore it for now. Jola replied with a slight smile, ``I don't know, would you have me find her?'' The would-be crime lord remained silent and bowed slightly to her master. His anger increased when only Jola appeared at his summons. ``Lupena! Jola! ``he yelled as he sat on his throne. The sorcerer angrily threw the medallion onto his work desk as he fumed. So far his attempts to control the blasted thing have failed. ''Rayden!'' Althea screamed into the empty air.

``Now I want you to soak for at least an hour, ``he ordered, ``I'll be back by then with something to eat.'' He then vanished with a flash. ''With that in mind,''he said as he picked her up and dumped her into the spring, clothes and all.

''You have trained enough for today, its time for a break, ``replied Rayden as he pulled the woman to the hot spring, ``You are suppose to be resting, not drilling yourself into the ground.''Īlthea's eyes flashed dangerously as she dug in her heals and said, ``You are so lucky you are my only ride out of here.''

``Damn it, Rayden! I need to train, ``yelled Althea as she tried to get her arm freed from the thundergod's grasp. Also, I'm sorry on pulling a ``Johnny Cage'' with Jola but reading over my stories I felt I was missing something. (Wish I did!) My original characters such as Althea, Lupena, and Kuravan are my creations want to borrow them no problem, just ask first. Note: I do not own Mortal Kombat, MK: Conquest or any of the characters related to the MK franchise.
