Grey: We are back once again! This time finishing off our first trip to the Spirit World. No Cliffies this time, right Free?
Free: Nope. One chapter Although I do think it might be a touched rushed in places.
Grey: Meh...if they don't like they can read something else.
Free: We don't own YGO or WKC. Just a couple OCs
"Okay, first things first: introductions" Spearholder of the Ancient Lands started dramatically. "This roguishly handsome man speaking to you right now is-"
"Hold the dramatics, Caesar." Mage of the Ancient Arts cut over him reminding Will of a pair of Enforcers the way they acted. "We are on the clock here."
"Spoilsport…" Spearholder of the Ancient Lands, aka Caesar, muttered in rejection before becoming all smiles and optimistic again as he carried on. "I'm Caesar, the Warrior's Leonard, the Assassin's Kara and you've already the Ranger and Mage, aka Yulie and Alastor."
"But...Yulie called him 'Blue'-" Will began looking at the blue haired mage in confusion.
"That's Yulie's nickname for him." Caesar waved off as if people always got perplexed by that titbit of knowledge. "You should've heard the names and insults they traded back when-"
"Ahem!" The kiddie spellcaster butted in glaring daggers at them all for ignoring him again.
Now that he had her attention once more, Will could not place the kid although her knowledge of spellcaster type monsters ranged from those her opponents used against her and her friends along with those her friends used. If what he said about him being older than all of them was true, then she had no clue as to what monster he was supposed to be- or even why he looks like a kid in the first place for that matter.
"This little guy here-"
"I'm not a little kid!" The kid snapped angrily. "My name is Torunka, the Dark Sage and most powerful of magicians after Mahado himself!"
If he was hoping for Will to stare at him in awe, he was sorely disappointed as the only thing he got from the human was a blank stare.
"Come on! The Dark Magician!? The Ace of the 'King of Games' deck!?" Torunka cried. "Is anything ringing any bells or dinging the dong or whatever you humans say!?"
"Definitely not that last one." Will shuddered. "Alright, say I believe you, Trunks-"
"Torunka!"
"Whatever! Why are you looking more like a ten year old than a ten thousand year old?" Will asked not caring if she upset...Trumpet or...Torrent or whatever his name was.
Before the midget mage could go on about his sa-whatever-ca, Yulie clamped a hand over his mouth while the bigger, bluer mage took over.
"He got hit by the Minus Curse. It's what we call the magic those staffs you've seen laying around all over the place." Alastor explained. "While it reverses inanimate objects like trees and dried up rivers, point a staff at a monster and turn the needles into a minus sign and the monster reverts back into a stone slab similar to those humans used as mediums to summon us millenias ago."
It was all starting to make sense to Will, particularly the parts about why Yulie was so hostile towards her when they first met and why she had not seen a duel monster outside those of her abandoned deck.
"As for why he's now a brat and not a slab of stone, he tripped when one of the monkeys chasing us activated their staff." Kara cut in much to Torunka's protests.
"Unfortunately, the only one who noticed what had happened was Luna. "By the time the rest of us realised what had happened and went back for them, we found Torunka as he is now trying to pull himself out of a bush and Luna nowhere to be found." Leonard finished off.
"Okay...still in the dark about what's going on here- just so you know." Will threw out.
It was not that she did not feel sorry for Trinket, although the way he was acting was making it rather hard to pity the kid. It was just that, ever since she had first woken up in Sayer's little doll palace, she had either been having splitting migraines, actual injuries from a simple duel or lame duel tests with cards that felt foreign to her- and that was without all those flashbacks of her real life confusing the hell out of her before realising what was happening.
If she was expecting sympathy from them, all she got were unsympathetic looks although one or two of them were looking like they were fighting down a smirk. The kid mage on the other hand was glaring daggers at her for obvious reasons.
"For as long as any of us can remember, the Spirit World was a realm of peace where all types coexisted without prejudice- despite whatever happens when summoned to the Real World. Then, just over a year ago, a new monster by the name of 'Zeman the Ape King' appeared here in the Spirit World along with a small army of monkey minion monsters." Alastor started off quickly sending a glare Caesar's way when the Spearholder opened his mouth to say something witty. "Nobody thought much of it at the time. It was probably the worst mistake we could make."
Will shivered making a mental note to never listen to one of his ghost stories should he ever take up storytelling.
"Without warning, they suddenly attacked capturing monsters left and right with those Minus staves of theirs. By the time panic set in, over a third of all monsters in the surrounding area had been transformed into slabs including a few of our own." Alastor continued nodding his head to the others. "The Lost Knights and a few of Yulie's close friends were changed right before her eyes."
Will could relate to that having watched a…'close friend' you could say get carted off by Security while she and her friends. It sure explained a bit as to why Yulie had such an inbred fear of the monkeys and their king.
"Once we got away, we began gathering information to prepare for a counter attack although what we discovered was more terrifying than what we initially imagined." Alastor said indicating to Kara to continue where he left off.
"The king of all these Monkeys, Zeman, is a Dark Synchro monster. A minion of an extinct race of monsters called the Earthbound Immortals. He's capturing other monsters to use their life force to take command of the spirit of the Ancient Fairy Dragon one of the Signer Dragons that fought against the Immortals alongside the Crimson Dragon." Kara began.
As Kara explained about how Zeman and his forces had been going from realm to realm within the Spirit World capturing all the spirits he could, Will's felt like her mind was going into meltdown with all this talk of ancient spirits and dragons. At least she now knew what this 'darkness' the voice mentioned to her or at least its servant but it still did not answer everything. It felt like the more she tried to find answers all she got were more questions, each more terrifying than the last. And it was scaring her far more than anything she had ever seen or experienced before.
Speaking of what the voice talked about, apparently the child it also mentioned, Luna, was definitely the one she had to help.
Apparently, Luna was able to come to the Spirit World of her own accord and had made a promise a while back to rescue her Signer Dragon, the Ancient Fairy Dragon during her last trip here. Not only that, Luna was also a Signer, person from the real world who had a strong bond with one of the dragons that aided the Crimson Dragon thousands of years ago, hers being the Ancient Fairy Dragon. When she arrived here again, the first people she met were Will's monsters who looked after her like one of their own as they helped her in finding Regulus, the last of Ancient Fairy Dragon's servants who had managed to evade Zeman's forces while waiting for Luna to find him.
Unfortunately, when enroute to Regulus' last known location, they had been ambushed by Zeman's minions. While nobody had got turned into stone tablets, Trunks had gotten turned into a midget with almost no magical capabilities and Luna had been taken away by the monkeys in the hopes that she could be used as bait to draw out Ancient Fairy Dragon's power for Zeman to present to his masters the supposedly extinct Earthbound Immortals.
"When you showed up, I just happened to be in the area scouting for Regulus. We haven't heard from him since the ambush." Yulie explained to Will. "Guess it's a good job that I ran into you. I'd be nothing but a paving slab otherwise."
Even though she joked about it, Will could see that Yulie was still shaken by her near miss with the monkeys.
"What about Luna? Are we doing anything about rescuing her?" Will asked getting more stares from the monsters.
"What's this 'we' stuff about? Who are you for that matter?" Alastor inquired with a frown all too much like in his card picture. "How and why are you here for that matter? I doubt you've got the same gift as Luna."
"C'mon, Al. Don't go looking a gift horse in the mouth." Caesar waved off coming to Will's aid. "We have a damsel in distress awaiting a daring rescue and a kitty cat stuck up a tree in the forest to find. Let's get those adventures out the way then grill the girl. You know: ask why she's here, how she got here, if she has a boyfriend-"
Caesar's rant was stopped when Kara slapped the back of his dreadlocked head. It was clear that the Spearholder was always like this as the others, bar Torunka, did not bat an eyelid when Kara slapped him.
"Apart from his idea of questions, I'm with Caesar on this." Leonard spoke up getting back to the conversation at hand looking pointedly at Will. "Have you any experience breaking and entering?"
Will did not even bother with a verbal answer. That grin appearing on her face told the monsters volumes.
While Will had not broken into an old Victorian era castle, they were more or less pre-modern versions of buildings she had broken into. The only difference to her was that instead of Security goons looking for her it was little monkeys wielding anti monster staves. She might not be a monster but she sure as hell did not want to find out what would happen should one of those monkeys try using it one her and so long as she kept quiet, she would not have to find out.
So why in the world was the midget mage joining her and Kara in storming the castle and not joining the rest of the group in seeking out Regulus? Unless he was going to offer himself up as a decoy, and quite likely end up as a concrete slab, Torunka was nothing more than dead weight to her and Kara- come to think of it, either way he was dead weight.
"So where about in there would Luna likely be?" Will asked as the two blondes plus one stuck their heads over a large boulder to spy on the large castle up the road complete with dry moat and monkey sentries. "And no replying with 'top of the tallest tower' or some fairytale junk."
Giving Will a look that said 'do I look like Caesar to you?' Kara pointed to the eastern side of the castle.
"There are some empty storerooms turned into makeshift barracks. That would be the first place to look. The other would be the dungeon but Zeman usually puts his misbehaving subordinates and screw ups there so I doubt it." Kara supplied. "Before you ask, I managed to sneak in a while back before Luna showed up. Back then, there was not much security."
"But with such an important guest, you can't blame the landlord for upping security." Will finished seriously before smirking. "Just makes it all the more challenging, right?"
Kara smirked also whereas Torunka looked lost and confused as the two blondes ducked back behind the boulder. By the time the midget mage had scrambled back down the boulder, his height or lack thereof required him to scale it, both girls had disappeared from sight leaving him scrambling to catch up with either of them.
"Dammit! Wait for me!" Torunka cried out trying not to stumble. "Damn sciatica!"
'This is as easy as sneaking into the Security's outpost in B.A.D.' Will thought as she slipped through the cold stone hallways to her destination.
It really was pretty much the same as sneaking into a Security outpost, the only difference being the era of the building and the type of guard patrolling the halls. That and her target being an actual person rather than a few decks of cards. As well as there being no lifts meaning there were staircases everywhere.
Despite the subtle layout changes compared to what she was normally infiltrating, Will was like smoke as she ghosted hallways and slipped passed the monkey guards in search of her target her skill in espionage still up to par despite being dormant for two years.
Her finding skills on the other hand needed a little work it seemed. After fifteen minutes of searching and coming up empty, minus a brief moment when she almost ran into a pair of monkeys ogling a stone tablet of a Thunder Nyan-Nyan, Will was starting to think Kara was going to be the one to find Luna, having split up the moment they had snuck in, and had started making her way back to their rendezvous point when she spotted a door in an abandoned corner of the hallway she was in.
Deciding to check it out before heading off, Will carefully wandered over to the door and was surprised to find it locked unlike all the other doors she had peeked through. Undaunted, Will quickly picked the lock with the help of a hairclip Kara had supplied her and entered only to find herself having another case of deja vu.
Sitting curled up on the bed and staring at her in a mixture of surprise, curiosity and hope, Will could have sworn she had seen the greenette somewhere before only wearing blue rather than pink and red.
"You're human, right? Are you here to save me?" The girl asked quickly deducing that this new person was not a monster nor a minion of Zeman's.
"Well, you did ask me for help." Will replied gently trying not to sound too cool or humorous. The girl had just spent the better part of a couple weeks in a minus five star hotel after all. "Sorry for the wait, by the way."
"It's alright. I'm just glad someone heard me!" Luna assured Will as she slipped off the hard board bed. "Thank you so much."
"Let's save the thanks until we get out of here, okay?" Will suggested quickly darting back to the doorway to check to see if the cost was still clear. "Can you walk?
Luna nodded as walked over to where Will was hiding behind the doorframe.
"My name is Luna, by the way." Luna whispered.
"I'm Will." Will replied just as quietly with a reassuring smile taking hold of Luna's hand before darting out into the hallway.
They were nearing the rendezvous point when a voice echoed throughout the stronghold causing the two girls to freeze in place.
"Get your greasy paws off me! Don't you know who you're dealing with!? You wouldn't be messing with me if I had all my power!"
'You gotta be kidding me!' Will mentally swore although she should not really be surprised at this turn of events. It had been going along rather smoothly up to this point after all.
"Was that Torunka?" Luna asked in disbelief.
"More like Torunka getting himself captured." Will muttered in response wishing the midget mage had stayed back or even went with the others.
"Will! Kara! Forget about me and get Luna out of here!" Torunka could be heard yelling.
Will actually could not help but admire the midget for being so selfless-
"Uh...actually- HELP!"
-until he had a sudden change of heart, that was causing both girls to sigh in frustration.
'And this guy is supposed to be the Dark Sage of all monsters?' Will thought to herself.
"He sure is exasperating, isn't he?" Luna asked.
"I don't know how you managed to put up with him when he was an old geezer." Will muttered as the two headed off again.
"I just kept out of the way of the others especially after Kara warned me of Caesar and Torunka." Luna provided. "That and I have a brother who's just like him."
Will held in a snigger before coming to a sudden stop as she remembered where she had thought she had seen Luna before and nearly causing Luna to lose her arm as she had kept on running until their interlocked hands had her suddenly being yanked backwards.
"He wouldn't happen to look just like you but wore blue, would he?" Will asked recalling something she had glimpsed while being taken by Sayer to where Akiza had been throwing a temper tantrum over being beaten by Yusei.
Almost like a switch had gone off, Luna's concern for why Will had suddenly stopped morphed into happiness and relief telling Will that, even though she was stuck in another world, she cared more for her brother and wanted to know if he was alright or not.
"You met Leo?! Is he alright?! I keep having these dreams about him getting hurt-" Luna started rambling before Will clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her behind the nearest pillar as the sounds of footsteps and struggling reached the older girl's ears.
Truthfully, Will was actually secretly relieved for the distraction which was no doubt approaching in the form of Torunka and his captors. If her foggy memory served correctly, Will last saw Luna's brother getting a little shock treatment while duelling another kid all just to see if either of them had any psychic talent Sayer could add to his army. And that was over a week ago. Who knows what had happened to the boy or his opponent by now.
Speaking of now, two monkeys suddenly came round the corner carrying between them a struggling Torunka who was still shouting out profanities at his captors or cursing Will and Kara for leaving him to die at the hands of an evildoer. For someone who was supposed to be wise, even if he had been reverted, he sure was not using his head much. Will was almost tempted to just leave Torunka to his fate but knew that the little girl she was rescuing would never let her hear the end of it. And while Luna was no replacement for Kari, Will had a feeling Luna would be just as nagging as her actual little sister.
With that heavy thought in mind, Will reluctantly told Luna to remain behind the pillar before walking out into plain sight of the trio.
Surprised at the sight of another human standing in their master's lair, the two minion monkeys dropped their prisoner and aimed their minus staves at Will.
"Who you?" One of the monkey's demanded.
"Where you come from?" The other demanded.
"That hole in the wall right behind you." Will answered pointing to a point behind the two monkeys.
Stupidly, the two monkeys looked behind them only to see a barren stone wall. It was the last thing they saw before something grabbed them by the back of their heads and smashed them together like a pair of cymbals or maybe a pair of empty coconuts as they definitely were not using the brains supposedly between their ears.
"Next time someone get's imprisoned, leave it to the pros, Trinket." Will scolded the midget.
"It's Torunka! And getting caught was all part of my plan!" Torunka snapped loudly glaring daggers at Will.
"Brilliant plan, oh great sage." Will complimented with sarcasm dripping from every syllable.
"Don't get cheeky with me you cheeky child! If it weren't for this curse, I would have had no problem taking them out and rescuing Luna!"
"You would have been a tablet before you got through the front door." Kara scoffed from right behind Torunka causing the child to nearly jump a mile in fright.
Ignoring Torunka as he tried to calm his overworked heart, Kara turned to look at Will and Luna who had quickly joined the trio now that the danger had passed.
"I see you already found the girl. Any different from rescuing us from a prison box?" Kara asked of Will.
Will was stunned. Apparently Kara was quicker at connecting the dots than the rest of her monsters and had realised just who she was to them bar the midget mage obviously.
"I'm not just all looks and no smarts like some monsters you know." Kara grinned before inclining her head towards their exit point. "Come on. Let's go before monkeys show."
Nodding in agreement, the group of monsters and humans headed off, making sure to keep quiet and out of sight of any monkeys. All the while, Luna was puzzled to what Kara meant about Will freeing them. Was Will just like herself, capable of coming and going from the Spirit World also? It would explain as to how she could hear her plea for help.
For now, that question would have to wait. Once out of the castle, they had to make their way back into the forest where Regulus should be and hope that the others had managed to find him before Zeman's forces did.
That and endure Torunka complaining about his sciatica.
Twenty minutes later, with an irritated Will carrying Torunka after having enough of his whining about his sciatica within the first five minutes of travel, the four arrived at the area Yulie and the others had headed off to earlier to find Regulus.
What they were not expecting was to find Leonard, Alastor and Caesar fending off an enraged white lion with a horn sticking out of its head. Well, Will was surprised but then again, Caesar did mention something about a lost kitten or whatever earlier but she had not paid much attention to it. The others were more surprised to see the two parties fighting more than anything else.
"Please tell me Caesar did not provoke Regulus." Kara called out to Yulie who was currently up a tree keeping a lookout for monkeys.
"He didn't." Yulie assured the assassin dropping down from the tree to give the newcomers a brief rundown of what had happened since they parted ways.
Not long after entering the forest, Yulie, Leonard, Caesar and Alastor came upon a party of Zeman's monkeys evidently on the prowl for Regulus. Deciding to tail them, pun unintended, the four Ancients watched as the monkeys found Regulus and got their collective tails kicked by the white lion before they could raise their staves.
Or that was what they thought before Leonard spotted a Minus Staff caught on his back leg and they had been trying to capture him some other way for reasons none of them could figure out. Before they could fathom further, Regulus turned his anger on them forcing them to bring up arms to fend off the furious feline.
"And that pretty much sums what we've been doing before you guys showed up." Yulie finished as Leonard and Caesar dove out the way of a pouncing Regulus. "It's like he's hell bent on clawing up anyone he sees."
"Maybe they interrupted his catnap?" Will threw out trying to make light of the situation only to receive blank looks from the others although she was sure she heard Luna suppress a chuckle.
"I'll handle this." Torunka proclaimed walking forward towards Regulus and dragging Luna along with him.
'He goes in peace and returns in pieces.' Will thought knowing that this was not going to end well for the mage.
"O, proud and noble Regulus! This child with me has come to aid us in the rescue of Ancient Fairy Dragon and-" Torunka began.
"Enough of your lies!" Regulus snarled as he pounced at the two kids.
Frozen in fear at the sight of the white lion's sharp claws and fangs, the pair were saved only by the timed intervention of Alastor who conjured a large top hat over them which then multiplied into three which quickly became two as Regulus tore into the middle hat while the other two floated away. Thankfully, that hat was empty while the one closest to Will and Yulie was lifted up to reveal two scared but relieved pre-teens.
While Regulus attacked the remaining hat as it floated tauntingly in front of the white lion, the group made a tactical retreat both to check up on the kids and come up with a plan of action.
"Any more bright ideas of yours?" Yulie asked of Torunka who had the common sense to look down at his feet in shame for nearly getting Luna killed.
"What did he mean by 'Enough of your lies'? He may be a brat but he's no liar." Will said looking back on what Regulus had said to Torunka.
"Now that you mention it, he's been saying stuff like that whenever we try to tell him we're on his side." Leonard recalled.
"Could it be because of the staff attached to his leg, perhaps?" Luna spoke up looking at Alastor who was probably the smartest of them all being a spellcaster and one of the more mature ones of the group.
"It's possible…" Alastor conceded although he looked unsure of it. "Essentially, that staff makes things go backwards."
"Or the opposite of what things originally are." Caesar pointed out. "And lies are the opposite of truths after all."
"So all we have to do is say the opposite of what we mean?" Leonard asked looking unsure of the direction the plan seemed to be going.
"No. Even if we tried, he'll probably just think we're lying to him some more." Will pointed out. "What we need...is bait."
Having been looking pointedly at Torunka as she said that, the midget mage could only gulp in fear of what Will had planned.
'Why me?!' Torunka mentally moaned as he walked back into Regulus' den alone. 'I am the greatest and wisest of spellcasters! Why couldn't that blonde brat or that upstart mage Alastor do this?! He's just trying to usurp me, I bet…'
Anymore internal rants Torunka wanted to make were put on hold as a loud, low growl could be heard. And it sure was not his stomach.
"You dare to return to face me?" Regulus growled coming round from behind a tree practically squinting with how closed his eyes were as he stared at the tiny mage.
Even though he was now trembling from head to toe, Torunka took a deep breath before yelling out-
"Regulus is a smelly klutz! He's a crybaby and my housecat could take him on!"
For a moment, there was silence. Not the eerie kind that came after someone saying or doing something awkward but more like the silence you would get after doing something foolish like, for example, calling a big guy fat or insulting a king of beasts like Regulus.
The next second, the entire seemed to shake in fear as Regulus let out an almighty roar that had Torunka bolting back the way he came.
"Do you really think feeble flattery will work on me!?" Regulus snarled as he gave chase quickly catching up to the midget mage and pouncing.
Too enraged, he had failed to notice his surroundings. Had he been more calm he would have noticed Alastor casting 'Spellbinding Circle' and 'Shadow Spell' leaving Regulus stuck in mid-air and unable to move a paw.
With his target now immobilised, Caesar came into view wielding a Minus Staff in place of his usual weapon.
"Don't screw this up now." Alastor warned the spearman.
"Yeah, yeah." Caesar waved off casually before turning serious. They only had the one staff that they found from the monkeys that had not been broken and to blow it now would mean hell from Kara and Yulie should he screw it up.
Fortunately, while he may act aloof, Caesar took his profession seriously and threw the staff accurately destroying both his one and the one attached to Regulus' leg creating a brief flash of light before dying out to reveal a confused looking Regulus wondering what in the Spirit World was going on.
"What happened?" The white lion asked before spotting monsters of the Ancient Archetype approaching him along with two humans if his eyes were not deceiving him along with a child pretending to be Torunka the Dark Sage.
"You nearly turned me into a scratching post! That's what!" The child shouted in fury. "My heart's nearly exploding after that. Not to mention my sciatica is playing havoc on my weary bones with all this running about!"
Regulus' eyes widened to near comical proportions as he realised this really was the Dark Sage he was talking to.
"Torunka?! What in the name of the Egyptian Gods has happened to you?!" He asked. "And why am I trapped in chains and a spell glyph?"
"We're all being hunted by Zeman. Can this wait for later?" Kara interrupted the two apparently old friends while Alastor cancelled his magicks suspending the white lion.
She held a valid point. There was no doubt that that roar had alerted every minion of Zeman within and outside the forest and making their way towards their location as the stood about chatting about the weather and whatever else came to mind- like rescuing Ancient Fairy Dragon for example.
However, things looked to be taking a turn for the worse as Luna froze up in fear as if suddenly realising she had forgotten to do her homework that was to be due the next day.
"You okay?" Will asked noticing the greenette freeze up.
"We need to get back to the Real World! Something terrible's about to happen!" Luna said looking worried.
"What about your dragon?" Will asked in concern.
It was like coming to a crossroad where the two paths were both equally important. Were they to remain here, they could rescue Ancient Fairy Dragon but likely be unable to return to the Real World as their bodies had became...something unpleasant that they could not live in. If they went back to the Real World and took care of this danger, or escaped from it, they might lose their chance to free Ancient Fairy Dragon from her prison.
Fortunately, Alastor stepped in at that point.
"Get going. We're not going to be doing any rescuing any time soon with Zeman's forces out in full force for us." He told the girls.
"He's right." Kara chipped in. "Besides, while in the castle, I managed to discover that Zeman has yet to get past Mirror Soul Dragon's Glacial Shell."
"Has he even managed to chip the girl's igloo yet?" Caesar could not help but ask earning another slap to the back of his head.
Will did not even hear Caesar's joke her mind now efficiently blown upon hearing that her signature dragon was protecting a Signer Dragon.
"Indeed. Escape from the trouble in your world first. We shall continue the fight here in the Spirit World until you return." Regulus spoke as if settling the matter.
"That doesn't include me, does it?" Torunka asked timidly. "I don't know if my sciatica can take this."
"Oh, put a sock in it!" Yulie snapped at the midget mage before turning to Alastor. "Think you can get them back to their world, Blue?"
"They should be able to get back themselves if they managed to get here." Alastor pointed out.
"Hold on a minute!" Will shouted out coming to her senses. "Even if we go back, I have no idea where Luna is and I'm stuck in Sayer's tower of psychic wannabe's!"
She held a good point. She highly doubted Sayer would let her go- especially as she was invited to Arcadia Movement through unkindly means. Then there was the trouble of not knowing where she was let alone where Luna was as she doubted the greenette lived in Satellite.
So if was a stroke of pure luck when Luna, instead of looking upset, smiled as if she had just won her first duel.
"Then you'll be able to rescue me! I'm stuck there myself." She explained looking as if she was about to explain how she had ended up in Sayers clutches when Regulus interrupted them. Time was of the essence after all.
"Go now!" Regulus urged. "We shall await your return!"
The two girls nodded and, clasping one another's hands, braced themselves for whatever magic that had taken them to the Spirit World returned them to their own world when Alastor called out to Will. Glancing in the mage's direction, the older girl only just managed to catch a staff thrown her way.
"You're going to need some help getting to Luna if she's trapped elsewhere in the Real World." He told Will gesturing to the staff in her hand. "This'll give you a hand in opening doors among other things."
Will nodded holding onto the staff tightly as she felt herself fade from existence once more entering a world of darkness.
Grey: This one was rather long.
Free: I wanted to get it over with quickly.
Grey: ...This wouldn't happen to be because your OC finally gets to show up & not just have a mere cameo alongside Luna's brother.
Free: ...Maybe.
Grey: Can't wait for what you write next. If you fans are just as eager, review, like & ask nicely for an early update.
