Room 22: The Attic, Meet the Bard...Key to finding Joseph

Xavier was up quickly to reach the last room in the Manor, however he was nervous since he doesn't now what's in store for him. Madame Cleo hugged him softly to make him feel at ease, yet with eight hundred and eighty five souls he had enough to break the barrier. The attic was dark and a little bit cold inside, Xavier thought it was going to be simple to get to the light...However Madame Cleo's clue changed his mind quickly.

"The reach the levers you must go to war, the shine light is what your aiming for!" Xavier sighed softly...he knew he'll be in for a fight for is life.

"Xavier this room will be the last strong hold for Joseph, so he will indeed send all of his demons to attack you. But what he doesn't know is that you have experience with these guys, however be extremely careful when fighting them...But i will always be with you in this fight." Xavier nodded happily as he took one step.

Sure enough evil spirits came rushing towards him quickly, yet it a few rapid shots he was able to get rid of them fast. As he reached to first level in the stair way a Marble Brute appeared, Xavier knew this monster was annoying to fight. Getting rid of him he was able to reach the first lever, Xavier pulled it to lift the one of the four chandeliers. rth one down there were three more to go before the lights came one, however as soon as he went up the stairs he heard swift footprints.

They were Shadow Samurai coming to attack him greatly, even though he faced them before this was a different situation. This was Joseph's last stand after all in his mind, Xavier was focused on the task at hand. After another Marble Brute he reached the second lever quickly, and with that there were only two more chandeliers to go from this point...Yet Xavier knew the other two were well guarded.

The third lever had the Dullahan guarding it heavily, however with the gold chain he was protected from some of his powers...Yet some enemies weren't effected by the light. Marble Brutes and Skeletal Shields guarded the third lever, but after a little elbow grease he was able to use the third lever. There was one more level left and he heard all sorts of things, yet every monster that he faced attacked him. This was finally effort of all the monsters in this manor, however it was Xavier who was finally victorious.

Finally the lights were on in the room and Xavier was panting heavily, suddenly something caught the corner of his eye...Madame Cleo noticed this.

"Madame Cleo, look I see one more diary! Should we look into it?" Madame Cleo looked at him softly.

"Yes, Xavier! We need to see what he wrote." Xavier nodded as he opened the book.

"June 1, 1234 Volume VI"

|Finally with Alexander and Julia gone I will claim the Manor as my own, but I still haven't found the soul gems yet. The Brotherhood of the Soul stops me from retrieving them, and worse that Madame Cleo gets in my way. I know she has something planned for me that gypsy, yet I also know someone else is going to aid her in this battle. I have to stop him no matter what, sadly I can't do anything with out alerting the Brotherhood of the Soul.

This can't continue on line a endless dream or nightmare, yet Madame Cleo will know I will attack her soon. I predict someone will help her once she is done away with, however I don't know why the name Xavier keeps coming to my mind...Maybe its the demonic gift of seeing the future of my demise. It's quite hilarious that I sometimes think about this matter, but even I know that future reading can come into view. I will do everything in my power to keep this from happening, so my first task is to lure Madame Cleo here...And I know how to do it!

Before they both met their fate, Julia wrote a letter to Madame Cleo. I still have the letter as proof and its in good condition, although Julia is dead her letter is still filled with life. Once Madame Cleo is here I will have my revenge...But for now I need to plan things out...hehe.

Joseph Desaulniers| Xavier started to shade slowly, however Madame Cleo calmed him down.

"So he knew me before I came to the Manor, Madame Cleo?" Cleo looked up softly.

"Yes, Xavier. As a demon Joseph can sense things from the future, yet I didn't know he would do that to me. However we have no time to think about the past, besides we do need to find the confused souls in this room" Xavier nodded slowly as they went off.

Searching high and low he was able to collect the fourteen confused souls, however he was also able to finish the last death certificate...and have eight hundred and ninety nine souls.

"Yes, well done Xavier! With that the Bard's death certificate is complete." Xavier noticed the Bard coming into view.

"Well done, laddie! You were able to defeat all of those monsters in here, the gambler was right about you being the one...however your work isn't done yet. I see you have my death certificate here, yes I indeed met my fate with the Kelpie however Madame Cleo gave me a home here. Although I don't have a soul gem I have some better laddie, yet I found this bangle that has a bright blue gem that feels evil...Might be something that demon Joseph might wear.

Although I would love to chat you have work to do sonny, may the saints guide you and the clover grant you luck evermore" Xavier held up the beacon and it reached nine hundred and ninety nine souls.

"Hmm the markings on this Bangle look so familiar...Yes, my hunch was correct! This bangle is the key to his room, and its in the Foyer we are now able to access that area. However before leave save your progress Xavier, for once you leave this room all the monsters will be waiting for you...they are preparing for the final battle!" Xavier nodded as he left the room.

Finally the last room is completed and the final awaits, will Xavier gain the great triumph against Joseph...perhaps time will tell.
