Part 50. A few days later. It was early evening when Helt Fangstien found a note had been slipped under his door. Last time this happened it had been a challenge to a duel, he wondered what it would be now. “Your American friend has wandered into the cave of giant spiders. Go quickly if you hope to save her.” it read. There was no signature. How mysterious. I will just rush out, with out telling anyone and go save her on my own, that would be the heroic thing to do. He laughed. No, it is most likely a trap, better not be foolish. “Hay Yue.” he said to his roommate, who was in a martial arts stance, meditation. “Know anything about giant spiders?” The Chinese student shook his head, “No, so sorry, I do not.” “Want to help me rescue Emma from some?” the tall German asked. “That would be a noble quest. So yes I do.” Yue replied. Helt passed him the note, “This is all we have to go on. Im going to see Serena, then over to the library to look up...
Part 10. Serena @ Library “Im sorry. Our copy of that book has not been returned.” the old librarian told Serena. “Who has it now?” the small Filipino woman asked pleasantly. “It was signed out to a Jack Dolman, several years ago, Im afraid, it is quite overdue.” the keeper of books spoke slowly, at 80 years old he did everything slowly. “Thanks for your help.” the new student replied. “By the way, is there a request form I can fill out to get an other copy of the book?” she asked using her best ‘please help me’ voice.

Now you wait here, I will go fetch the forms.” he said, then slowly walked into the back office. As Serena turned to see who had been watching her, a small group of students quickly pretended to not be looking in her direction. Her keen hearing was both a blessing and a curse. She knew they had been whis...
Part 20. From one beginning to another. “You should join our club.” Serena said to the handsome Frenchman on the ground. He looked confused, but smiled at her, “Pardon, what club is this?” he asked. Helt glared at the small Filipino, “Are you serious?” he asked. Taking a dramatic pose, her dark hair flowing around her, Serena said to her friends and the other students there on the riverside path, “The club we aim to build is all about good relations between humans and non-humans. So we need both in it. What better example could we imagine than two who met as enemies and learned to be friends.” Her voice was enchanting, her words spoken with total conviction. The elder student of the HPB swordsmen, helped his brother to his feet. “Sounds like a fine idea.” he said. Erik seemed less sure about that, but he did see the matter as a point of honour. “If you request it, my lady, I will be at your side in this club.” he assured her. Helt and Emma exchang...
