"Don't worry she doesn't like anyone."Skulduggery told Mercyful as Valkyrie got into the car, of course she was still laughing but Skulduggery really didn't want anyone to see her laugh.
"Well thanks anyway Mister, trying is something isn't? I'll go somewhere else to ask people."Mercyful stood there and Skulduggery hesitated, Valkyrie got out still red from laughter.
"Skulduggery can Mercyful come with us?"Valkyrie asked.
"Not if your going to make it rain in the Bentely."Skulduggery said coldly.
"Mercyful come on you can catch a ride to where ever your going , if you know where your going?"Valkyrie said pulling Mercyful into the car.
"I have no idea what continent I'm on, it would help if you told me."Mercyful said sitting in the back set.
"Your in Ireland."Skulduggery said getting in and strapping his belt.
"Wow I'm in Ireland but I don't think I lived here before. Pfft I don't know whats my favorite color."Mercyful said dusting of her Nightmare Before Christmas Jacket and playing with her mood ring.
"Don't worry Skulduggery will help you, after all he is the greatest magic detective around. And I have a clue that your fav color is black."Valkyrie said watching Mercyful's every move. Mercyful had naturally curly brown hair with small black bows in it, she wore a Kanye West shirt and black jeans. She had brown eyes and wore a moon necklace around her neck, everything just a bunch of black. She looked like a goth girl with black lipstick and black nails, she even had black boots.
"Hhm sounds reasonable, anyway so who's Skulduggery?"Mercyful asked, causing Valkyrie to drop her mouth.
"He's the skeleton driving, the famous detective Skulduggery Pleasant."
"Nothing rings the bell."Mercyful said looking out the window.
"Well thanks Detective Pleasant and?"
"You don't know her either do you? The great apprentice that saved my but from the faceless ones. The Valkyrie Cain."Skulduggery said.
"Well thanks, so umm where does this all start?"Mercyful asked with a lazy kind of slack in her voice.
"The Sanctuary."Skulduggery and Valkyrie said at the same time.
"Whats that?"Mercyful asked. Skulduggery sighed and Valkyrie slapped her forehead.
"Skulduggery do you even think shes from the magic world, how did she deal with China?"Valkyrie said.
"Well since she isn't dead and wasn't China's slave, I'm guessing she has some kind of magic. Well have to start from the bottom since well her taken name starts with Mercyful, no last known name. Oh dear this is going to be hard, Mercyful do you rememeber how this happened?"Skulduggery asked, she shrugged her shoulders.
"No clue don't remember a thing."Mercyful said biting her nail.
"This is going to take forever."Valkyrie said looking at Skulduggery from the corner of her eyes.
