"Cat's fine. Cat's peachy. Cat's swell." Said Harry, stepping back to avoid his friends fist.
"Tell you what, follow me and  you'll get to see her."
Lindsay's grip on Luke tightened as they followed Harry, just in case he tried anything else.
Walking behind Harry, they noticed what he was wearing.
A plain black tunic, similar to ones worn by ancient Romans or Greeks.

Swiftly, they looked around at their own. Luke's was similar to Harrys, except brown instead of black.
Lindsay's was an elegant short skirted dress, similar to the chiton's worn by the Roman women.

Moira had another Chiton, lobg skirted with a black sash.

And Valerian a blue, tightly cut dress, which in her opinion, made her look like some kind of warrior maiden

Curiosity and fear rippled through them. "What story is this?" Hissed Moira in Lindsay's ear.
They were lead along the benches to the grand box where, reclining on cushions where Talitha, beaming like it was her birthday but with a wicked glint in her eyes, and Julian, neutral faced, were reclining.
They too were dressed like Romans, though obviously much more important than the others. Talitha's dress was crafted of a beautiful bronze silk, her hair adorned with a golden crown. Julian was dressed in black leather, with a red cape, like some kind of centurian or gladiator.

Moira was the first to react. "What have you done with Cat?"
Talitha gestured down towards the small figure in the pit. "She's there, and safe and sound, for now. So tell me, what's the answer to the riddle? What does Cat need to be free?"

The players were stumped by her outright question. "Uh... we don't know yet. But we'll work it out." Said Lindsay.
Talitha smiled sweetly. "You better. You only have twelve guesses."
Twelve? Thought Lindsay. That's actually too good. There has to be a catch.
Talitha's smile widened. "And for every wrong answer, Cat has to complete a dangerous task. And since you didn't know... bring on the first challenge!"

Just a warning. By the looks of things, this book could be going over 100 pages, which it wasn't supposed to. I may do longer pages, but still... sorry for writing so much!
But I hope your enjoying it!
