As Zexel hugged Lisa the girl hesitated then gave a brief hug back stating simply,<strong>"I'm glad I didn't kill you when I had the chance Zerxel.  Good luck to you."</strong>Then when the group broke she retreated into the tavern leaving Bo, Zerxel, and Tahkina alone on the porch.<br/><br/>The three contestants were silent for a short time before finally Bo nodded and lightly punched Zerxel's shoulder,<strong> "That was good.  Lets go then, lead the way, lets get away from this place."</strong><br/><br/>Zerxel nodded and then laid out her plan for what would be.  The trio left, with plenty of daylight ahead of them.  But Tahkina pointed out a mass of wavering tentacles that broke the surface of the lake in it's center.<strong> "That's new, the tentacles I mean."</strong>It was true, and also a sign that the void creatures in the lake were growing larger, stronger, and come night might even be large enough to leave the lake.  A sure sign that this level was growing more dangerous with each day.<br/><br/>Unfortunately for Zerxel's plan, they made it back to the Spiderling's lair with no sign of anyone, when Tahkina asked,<strong>"I know you said that we would head for the golden door, but since this was close to where you last saw Shugar, might you want me to try to find her next?  I won't be able to find her precisely, but will be ble to track her, if she's still alive and on this level.  Maybe she is close to the golden door herself?"</strong><br/>
