I was walking in my pasture one sunny afternoon, when a pair of hands pulled me into the underworld.
Once I arrived, I relaxed, a bit. Because it was an old friend. Carol. A time-bender and now a Lazurai as well. Meaning she could walk through rock, and other things. "Hi John. How have you been?" Carol was standing in front of a crystal fireplace, warming herself from the magma heat that was channeled out of the earth's core.
"Not bad, Carol....

She was tall, with a long black wavy mane that came most the way down her back.While her tight black leather jeans almost came up to meet, except for a narrow band of pure ivory skin.

Things were going well, until we got arrested. By our own security.
No lawyer, no rights read, even our own boss turned on us.
Because now we were being studied like the very people we were studying before. Or trying to.
You see, we couldn't find any trace of those people, except for faint traces of biological material that were old enough to be historical.
Everyone was starting to think they were some sort of urban legend.
Until we went on a...
