Vol 1 Book 5 - Escape to Victory

[sharpclaw13]

At first everything it was pitch black, then it was bright as the room lit up and everyone started to shout at once.

'Ouch my sore bottom,' Clawfist rubbing his bottom.
'Aggh! This ground is hard as a rock,' Clawtool pipped.
'Hey guys, where are we?' queried Clawfree.
'Who the wise guy, putting some trapdoor in front of the doorway!' roared Clawfury.
'Oh No, not again!' Clawfire groaned as she looked at his surrounding.

Clawfist found himself in a cell similar to the one at the Bree-town jailhouse, except for one small difference, he was all alone! Clawfire and Clawfree were two female together in another room. Clawtool was left with Clawfury, much to Clawfury disgust that he find himself stuck with the hobbit, instead of one of the others.

Clawfire and Clawfree checked out their surroundings, they seem to be in a large squarish room filled with various white metallic nude statues!

'Oh my,' Clawfree blushes, as she observe that several of them, depicts various stage of nakedness.
'They sure are very lifelike and real,' Clawfire noted, with a clinical detachment.

On the rear wall opposite them, they can just make out a small section that is slightly discolored from the rest and what appeared to be a small sign. The sign, which seem to magically written in high elvish script. Clawfire read the inscription very carefully.

'SMASH YOUR WAY IS THE KEY TO YOUR VICTORY'

'What we going to do now?' Clawfree asked Clawfire.
'What that over there?,' Clawfire replied back, as she pointed to one of the statue. They both head off towards the statue.

Clawfire and Clawfree, soon reached the statue that Clawfire pointed out earlier. The statue is a male human and is holding two hammers, one in the left hand and the other is in the right hand. The left hammer is marked OFMZ and the right one is marked HGZI; as Clawfire stretches her hands and pull both hammers from the statue,she nearly dump the hammers, as they suddenly grow hots and her eyes flashes red.

'CLAWFIRE ARE YOU OKAY?' Clawfree quickly slaps both hands, forcing Clawfire to drop the hammers to the ground.
'Yes....i alright, give me a moment to catch my breath' Clawfire assured Clawfree, as she pants and rest for a moment.
'What happened?' asked Clawfree.
'The hammers grows hots and then suddenly i can read the marking on the hammer, the left one is LUNA and the right one is marked STAR' Clawfire said calmly.
'How did you know?' Clawfree queried.
'Somehow, when i grabbed the hammers, i must had bestow the knowledge of the language into my mind,' gasped Clawfire.
'Cool, what a interesting thing to happen, now let see if we can find the way out,' Clawfree smiled
'I think we need to smash the statues to reveal the exit.' suggested Clawfire, after discussing the idea with herself.

Clawfire grabbed the LUNA hammer while Clawfree grabbed the STAR hammer, and proceed to one of the statue and tried unsuccessfully to smash the statue.

'What that symbol over there?' Clawfree pointed at a symbol near the backside of the statue.
'I think it is a crescent.. of course it a moon!' laughed Clawfire as she directed her hammer at the symbol, the hammer glows slightly before the statue crumbles.
'Yes, my hammer must be for those four pointed star symbol,' said Clawfree as she swing her hammer, at her symbol and watch her hammer glowed slightly before the statue crumbles.
They both swings their hammers and laughed and giggled as they run like rabbits, hitting their respectively symbol on the statues and watch as the statues crumbles to the ground.
when there is just two statues left, the male human statue that originally hold the hammers and a male elf that is astonishing handsome and seem to evoke some response from the pair, it has both symbol near the front end just below the waist. They both sighed as they stared dreamily at the handsome male elf statue.

'Do we have to destroy it? i would love to meet the elf that pose for that statue,' asked Clawfree.
'I afraid we have to, if we want to leave,' said Clawfire.
'Oh well... easy come easy go,' agreed Clawfree, as they both swings their hammer and hit both symbols at the same time. The elf statue crumbles but nothing happen, after a minute or two.
'What we did wrong?' said Clawfree.
'Of course! We needed to replaced the hammer back on the hands!' Clawfire realized.
As soon as the two hammers got replaced, the discolored section of the back wall dropped down revealing a small alcove. They examined the alcove and see that there are two hole in the ground. Above the left hole there is a picture of a lyre and above the right hole there is a picture of a book.

'I guess the right hole is mine and the left hole is yours, Clawfree' Clawfire mused.

Clawfire jumped into the right hole and Clawfree jumped into the left hole and they both laughed as they fall down.

Natasha stepped into the room from nowhere and stared at the alcove.
'Girls would be girls, no matter what race they are,' tsked Natasha, as she rolled her eyes. Natasha walk to the male human statue, examined both hammers then started to rub the markings on both hammer, obliterating half the writing on both hammers. The left hammer is now marked OF and the right hammer is now marked HG
'OFHG, perfect!' whispered Natasha as a small symbol appeared on the male human statue with a flame symbol inside a circle. Natasha take out a small disc which is marked URIV and place it on the symbol, the statue move sideways revealing a hole, with a staircase leading down, Natasha calmly walk into the hole and down the stairway.
