All he had on his mind was his legs moving and his feet hitting the ground ...after all , anyone would if they were being chased by a god.
Curtis Flare had joined the cleaver academy at only 13 years old but he had not passed through , why would he? He had found out he had great potential as a sorcerer .He used his first Magic by accident ( and ended up burning a shop down ) but when he learned to control it it was confirmed that he was the most powerful sorcerer in Scotland (in fact he was the third best elemental to Skulduggery Pleasant )he also had great necromancy and swordsmanship, he learned as many forms of sword fighting as he could and picked a sword to focus his necromancy on even after his surge he could use both necromancy and elemental magic .Now he had been asked to help fight the faceless Ones as it had been revealed that Mevolent was still alive it had been found out by grand Mage sorrows from the Irish sanctuary but the information had been hidden by Eachan Meritorious, and look at what happened because of it roarhaven had been destroyed (again) , a desolation engine had been set off in DUBLIN and the faceless ones had been brought back to earth ... Well 10 of them ,now there were only 9 because they had turned on Mevolent and he was forced to kill one . Now he was helping the sanctuaries to fight them- well , not really he was still trying to kill them,they had split up and curt ran into a forest
He was regretting that now the tree roots were almost as big as the tree's themselves and he had tripped twice already if the faceless one caught up with him he probably wouldn't stand much chance. He found an entrance to some caves and ran inside them.
The caves seemed to go on for ever but eventually he came across a " room" of sorts it was completely silent except for the constant gurgling of water in a fountain... A MAGIC fountain the water in this fountain was the the reason most God killers existed he took out his sword from its sheath and shadows coiled round his hand he took it out all the way, the blade was the same black metal as the hilt , with swirling patterns running up the side of it. He hurled it into the fountain along with all his other weapons then he retraced his steps back to the entrance ,he heard someone in the forest and sneaked out ,someone shouted his name in a smooth
velvety voice
" argh!"
"Argh!"
"Argh!"
"Be quiet " said skulduggery Pleasant " there is a faceless one in this forest
"It may have been me that lead it in here" he said sarcastically
Skulduggery moved his head in a way to make it obvious that if he had any eyes he would be glaring
"We need to find the rest" Said skulduggery "where are your weapons?" He asked
"Marinating " Curtis answered "follow me"
He lead skulduggery to the fountain and asked "will this work, turn them into God-killers I mean"
"I don't see why not, take them out "
Curt did as he was told he tested all of them on some rats and various other animals that had wandered into the caves using his sword ,scythe and throwing knives- not violent at all- but at least they worked.
When they got out of the caves they saw Mevolent with a blade pressed against Creyfon Signate's throat they rushed up but only had time to see them flicker and disappear
"Why does he need to shunt? " asked curt
" doesn't matter" said skulduggery " but at least that's one less distraction"
Curt could tell skulduggery was hiding something but he didn't mention it
They found Tanith Low, Saracen Rue,Gracious O'Callahan and Fletcher Renn
And then they all went hunting for the faceless ones.
