Article 5:

Departure

Roji's first thought was 'Muhyo'! He was probably in a deep sleep by now, would he wake up for- Wait, for what? His brain counted, there was nothing wrong. You leave the door open all the time, unlocked- every window too. You're a bad assistant, Roji, a very bad one indeed.

He couldn't take it any longer. With grunt of determination, Roji lunged forward; with both hands out, pushing the door completely open.

"Roji…?!" Nana stumbled in behind him to a monstrous scene. Above the sleeping Muhyo, a creature made of what seemed to be dense darkness fog hovered over the boy's box-cot-on-stilts bed, a single fog strand that formed a hand had a firm grip of Muhyo's sleeping head…sleeping. No, his freaky eyes were all wide open.

"Muhyo!" Roji pulled two paper things out of his front pocket, paper things being talisman- the paper kind, more accurately, the Wards of Binding, "Nana, stand back-"

And from that pocket he pulled a pen, a dazzling pen with magical designs on it. Roji quickly wrote strange symbols on the paper talisman, that sizzled am and chucked it at the beast.

The Bind of Wards flew through the air like a knife of throwing; looking like it would hit the Haunt square one, much to Roji's joy.

"Yes, it-" But his celebration was premature, as the Wards of Binding went right through the ghostly creature. The haunt let out a menacing chuckle, two goggle eyes popping out of the gloom that caused Nana to shriek.

The monster's fog formed out another strand towards them. Was Muhyo stuck? What was he doing?! Were they…doomed?

"Keh, you shouldn't get distanced," Muhyo said, causing the monster to whip around. The small boy sat straight up, like a dead man in a coffin, bobbing forward and backward a bit as sparks danced around his body.

"How?!" The Monster screamed, his eyes growing in size due to disbelief, "How did you beat my sleep paralysis?!"

Muhyo replied by swinging over the side of his bed, his body going right though the fog of the bewildered monster. Quicker then expected, he snatched his book up off the side table, and flipped it open to about the center.

"M-Muhyo…!" Roji wiped tears of thankfulness from his eyes, "I'm so-!! Are you all-"

"Shut up," Executor Toru Muhyo snapped, his eyes locking with the Monster, who started to drift towards the boy of power, "By the Laws of Magic, Article one one four. For the crimes unlawful sleep paralysis-"

"Stay….! Stay…!" The monster groaned, looking truly terrified, "Stay home…!"

"I sentence you to Harpies Valley!" The book in Muhyo's hand unleashed a fury of the top class. With its ugly face, sharp claws and teeth, and awkwardly angled dirty feathers it shot out at the monster.

"Urgh," Nana covered her face, the smell of Muhyo's summoned monster was just too much for her, it made her feel a little light headed. She held on to Roji, for support, who was shaking like a leaf under her, "What…?"

"Hee hee," Muhyo giggled, watching as the Harpy snatched up the ghoul with its razor class, flapping her manged wings, taking the ghost up up and away, "You'll be spending eternity, wide awake, while Harpy's sing you ear bleeding songs, and rub your back with their razor claws."

"No…He promised!" The ghost stared at Muhyo with wide eyes, "Stay…You will die!"

Muhyo looked unimpressed by this, but Roji…Roji felt sick. He felt the stomach juices creep up his throat, but swallowed, making sure it stay were it belonged. It was one thing to fail in front of Muhyo, but it was another thing to get sick in front of him. He'd never let it go.

As the Harpy disappeared, he snapped his book shut and turned to the pile which was Roji and Nana.

"What's she doing here?" He snapped at Roji, grouchily.

"What am I going here?!" Nana retorted indignantly, straightened up all the way, "Why you little jerk, I just thought I'd be nice and bring you snacks, but I can see that-"

"And you," Muhyo looked at Roji, looking at him in such a manner…a human look, there was a human look to Muhyo, not a superior one, one that caused Nana to reach for her camera, "That-"

Ff-shash

"Aaaah," The picture feel out, one of her eye still closed as she pulled the camera down from her face, "That's a keeper, see, you can look normal!"

"Get out!" Muhyo smashed his teeth together, grinding them. He jabbed his finger to the door, steamed, but Nana was ready for this. She pulled out the ticket, sticking it right in his face.

"Hah!" She laughed, shaking the ticket about, "You can't tell me to get out, because I'm coming with you!"

Muhyo ignored Nana completely, stomping up his ladder to his bed. With an ooff, he flopped over into it.

"That lady brought her stuff over," He addressed Roji, looking particularly irked by the whole thing; he pulled his blanket over his face, "Get that together, I don't think you can mess that up."

Roji sighed, picking up the bags Nana dropped. Well, at least they wouldn't go uneaten! He loved sweets, even though they could never afford them. This trip, he blinked his eyes clear of the tears, was going to be fun…!
