Love is Magical- Chapter 6: Revenge of Erishkigal (pt. 1) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

I freaking screwed up with the accuracy on this one. Anyways, I don't read support conversations so I'd like to thank Lady of Dragons for helping me with this fic... Anyways, I thought this chapter up while idly sitting outside. Just thought I'd let you know that I do like Erk, I do like Canas, I do like Serra, and I do like Pent. However I do not like Rebecca, Louise, Nino, or Heath as illustrated in this chapter. Just thought I'd let you know. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

As the kiss deepened, something became clear to Serra. What would Erky think if she just let him kiss her like this? Serra realized she couldn't let him think she was a pushover. She broke free of Erk's grip and started shouting. "What do you think you're doing?" Before Erk could even get up, she kept on yelling. "Just because we're friends doesn't mean that you can do whatever you like! I hope you go to-" "Where, Serra?" Erk knew where she was going to tell him to go, but he was hoping she would think about what she was saying. "Never mind," she told him. "You would stink up the place anyway!" She had forgotten it was all a charade. Now she was genuinely mad. Then Pent's voice was calling, "Rebecca? Rebecca? Rebecca, what are you doin- Aaagh!" Erk and Serra rushed outside. Pent was lying on the ground... dead. Rebecca stood over Pent's body, disappointed that he put up such a poor fight. But it didn't look like Rebecca standing there. Her face seemed twisted and tainted by evil, and her eyes had no pupils.

"Feh. 'Former Student of the Archsage Athos?' I think not. Athos would never allow something so pathetic to even look at him. If you can't even beat me in this body then you wouldn't have stood a chance against me in my true form!" She, or it, hadn't spotted Serra or Erk yet. "Rebecca" was too busy praising herself. "Rebecca's voice seems like it's fused with an evil entity. She's been possessed for sure." Erk was thinking out loud, but Serra realized that she must have released it with her anger. Louise stood behind Heaths' tent. It was obvious she wanted to use a sneak attack, but she was sobbing loudly. Rebecca turned around. Her true soul did not seem to even try resisting the demon. Rebecca faced Heaths' tent, and began to fire arrows toward Louise, who was sobbing so loudly she couldn't hear the arrows searing through the air. They missed. Or they missed Louise; Heaths' tent was burned to cinders, and his blood-soaked bones were smoking from the powerful Gespent magic imbued in the arrows. Louise began to cry even harder. Rebecca's sinister eyes widened, as if she were casting a spell with her eyes. Suddenly, Louise cried even harder. She kept wailing as though she were the last person on earth. Erk and Serra weren't stupid enough to try and save Louise; there was a barrier of dark magic that only the Archsage Athos himself could have shattered: Erishkigal.
