The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China in part to protect the Chinese Empire or its prototypical states against intrusions by various nomadic groups or military incursions by various warlike peoples or forces. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC;[3] these, later joined together and made bigger, stronger, and unified are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall.[4] Especially famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has on and off been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; the majority of the existing wall was reconstructed during the Ming Dynasty.

Other purposes of the Great Wall have included border controls, allowing the imposition of duties on goods transported along the Silk Road, regulation or encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration. Furthermore, the defensive characteristics of the Great Wall were enhanced by the construction of watch towers, troop barracks, garrison stations, signaling capabilities through the means of smoke or fire, and the fact that the path of the Great Wall also served as a transportation corridor.

The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east, to Lop Lake in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. A comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the Ming walls measure 8,850 km (5,500 mi).[5] This is made up of 6,259 km (3,889 mi) sections of actual wall, 359 km (223 mi) of trenches and 2,232 km (1,387 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers.[5] Another archaeological survey found that the entire wall with all of its branches measure out to be 21,196 km (13,171 mi).

Lukas placed Mer on the other wall, grinning manically. 'The Desouza siblings had a great fall....'

'couldn't put the sisters together again.' he chuckled darkly under his breath, watching Meredia squirm. 'I wouldn't do that, you might just wriggle off.'

Lukas peered around, wondering what was going to happen. 'What do you think he'll do first?'

He placed his hands on Meredia's shoulders. 'So as soon as he turns up, push?' a laugh escaped his lips.

Amaya: http://media-cards.theotaku.com/757168-20100206153831.jpg

He had arrived at the bottom of the wall, knowing if Topher was at the top, he would undoubtedly be pushed if Bryn just appeared.

Lukas chuckled under his breath, not spotting them yet. 'I kinda like Amaya, sure we have to kill her?'

'We just kill the mudblood, that'll be enough.'
Bryn peered up, expecting to see Topher, eyes widening when he saw Meredia. 'Eagle...they're both here. Mer and Amaya.'

'apparate to the other side, prepare to catch Amaya.' Bryn wandered into the open, standing at the bottom.

'HEY LUKAS! YOU'RE A DICK!'

Without replying, he apparates to the opposite side. He cranes his neck to keep his eyes on Amaya. Only a short while ago they'd been talking in the Hall, and now they're at the Great Wall of China...

-Crazy grin, I peer down looking at Bryn- "Bryn... did you enjoy my little game? I must say you're here much sooner than I anticipated.... but oh well what can you do?"

"I'm sorry could you hold on, I was just in the middle of pushing your sisters... kind of like how you did with mine..."

'Go ahead. Push 'em.' Bryn challenged, raising an eyebrow.
Lukas almost shoved the girl off the side, but hesitated, why the hell did he want them to do it?

Amaya's copy glared down at Eagle, and she shook her head almost imperceptibly. Go. she mouthed.

-He's challenging me... well this could work to my advantage, especially since I'm using my wand to record all he says. This will help me later.-

-Crazy Grin- "You seem awfully at ease with us pushing your sister off..."

How do I tell him I'm just a fake? that I could just disappear as soon as I hit the bottom? I'm only here on Amaya's will.... She mouthed the word again, her expression entirely certain.

'I can catch them Crouch, I always do, I love them.'
