paper.
    Koran frowned at her, but bowed and left the tent without a word. Mary eyed the entrance flap and resumed her writing. “That man will be a problem eventually,” she thought to herself. “I shudder to think what would happen if he gained more power.” She feared he had hidden secrets that no one knew about. At the same time, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself, "Well, at least things will be interesting around here."

    Diana grinned to herself as she rode her horse into the camp. “This is so exciting! I get to come here all by myself and it’s all thanks to Hilda!” She thought to herself. The day before, she had been talking with her sister and mentioned the new dungeon to her as well as her desire to look into its possible secrets; this made her sister smile at her.
    "Don't worry sis, I'll help you out with that," Hilda said before leaving the room. Later that day, Diana had received orders from the head ranger himself to carry messages to the budding camp in front of the dungeon. Excited and joyful, Diana had grabbed her fastest horse and rode out as soon as she read her orders.
    "Silly Ken, he still thinks I'm a little girl in need of protection.” She grinned as she entered the camp. She knew Ken had agreed to take her to the ranger base in order to keep her out of trouble. He'd leave her there in the hands of the ranger masters, and have all sorts of fun in the dungeon without her. "Not on my watch, no sir. This is the opportunity of a lifetime, and I'm not going to miss it," she thought to herself.
    She got off her horse and marched over to one of the larger tents and poked her head in. "Message for the adventurer Koran!"  She announced brightly.
    Inside, a group of men were taking off their armor as they turned to look at her. The handsome one in the back walked to her with a cute smile. "That would be me darling. Thank you for the letter.” She blushed as she handed him her delivery and waited patiently as he read the letter. His grin grew when he finished and looked back up at her. "Care to join us on a dungeon raid tomorrow? We have to explore some in order to get a good idea of what we're dealing with."
    Diana jumped up in excitement, "That would be great! When can we meet?"
    "Meet us just before the sunrise at the entrance. Have a good night." He waved her off with a smile as she skipped away to find a tent.
    "Hey boss, didn't we already explore the dungeon? Why are we going back?" Asked one of his friends. Koran turned and winked at him.
    "We have a little job to do gents, one that will let us have a little fun as well." Instead of his normal smile, Koran had an evil grin that was soon shared by the four of his friends.

Chapter 9
    Doc was happily making new slimes in his dungeon when he sensed something. It was still dark outside, but he felt the approach of some people to his entrance.
    "Claire, wake up!"  He sent to her sleeping form, "Someone is coming our way."
    Claire mumbled and rolled around on her bed, a new addition to her room made from plants and slime.
    "Claire!"  Claire woke up with a yelp and flew into the ceiling, startled by his yell. She groaned and rubbed her nose in annoyance.
    "What is it, Doc?"
    "Someone's coming our way, and it's still dark out," Doc informed her. Claire raised an eyebrow and began flying to the entrance.
    "I didn't think they'd show up so soon," she muttered to herself as she flew down her tunnel.
    "They? Do you know who is coming?"  Doc asked curiously.
    "Not who specifically, but I can guess the reasons for the visit," she said honestly. Taking her spot at the peephole she asked him, "Have you remade your dungeon boss yet?"
    "No, I was just making more slimes. Should I go ahead?"
    "No, save it for now, you may need it for later," Claire advised while eyeing the approaching humans.
    Confused, Doc obeyed and moved curiously to the entrance to watch. There were four men in leather armor at his entrance, waiting for something. He didn't
