War of the Wizards (7)

"Adrianna!" The name bounced around his brain but he couldn't speak it out. She was standing there in black leather pants with knives strapped on its side and black leather jacket that hid her baldric. Her black hair was loose, falling to the side on her shoulders and her golden yellow eyes burnt with fury. 

"How about I wring your neck?" 

How come she was in the cave? Did she lure him here? Was this a trap? What about all the ice that cracked and crackled outside forcing water to gush out from beneath the ground? What about the beasts that attacked him? 

Adrianna laughed bitterly. "Yes, I lured you in here." 

In his shocked state he had forgotten to shut his mental shields and Adrianna took the opportunity to enter his cell. But it was only for a brief moment because Ziu recovered his senses quickly and blocked her.
