    Summary

    “How precious are your futures?” asks the Sphinx. “How dear to you is the path you wish to take?” She bares her teeth in a cruel smile, and they all take an involuntary step back.

    “Wait,” says Laios suddenly. “Look at her teeth!”

    Yes, Laios,” says Izutsumi. “We’ve all noticed the fangs. This really isn’t the time—”

    “No,” says Laios, “those back teeth. She has molars- grinders. That means she’s an omnivore. But she can’t leave this circle, and you saw how nothing ventures within miles of this spot. I bet she hasn’t had anything other than…” he swallows, waving a hand vaguely at the pile of ex-adventurers, “...meat… for years .”

    “So…what?” asks Izutsumi.

    “Remember how good those marshmallows were?” asks Laios. “And that was only after a couple days without much of a varied diet.”

    “You want to bet all of our lives,” Chilchuck says slowly, “on making a Sphinx a nice dessert?”

    Laios smiles.

    Luke Hobbs had stopped asking the universe how he ended up in these situations a long time ago. At this point in his life, it was easier to accept what was happening and roll with it.

    Summary

    It starts, as expected, with Sam.

    But it doesn't end there, of course. Because there are a lot of people interested in the news, although Luke should probably watch out for himself, because some people would have liked to be informed beforehand...

    This is a two part story, first part covers the Saturday following immediately after Promise, and the next one will be the Sunday, when I get to it. And for those people who don't like reading incomplete stories, don't worry, the first part is a complete on it's own, as will be the second part :)
