(Hi everybody! Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up. I've been
pretty busy lately with writing up a new fanfic and playing RO as usual.)
Ceilu got into a cheesy kung-fu stance, smirking.
"Now I'm really getting serious!" shouted Ceilu. "Come and get me!" The dark priest laughed loudly, showing Ceilu the cover of his book.
"Oh look, it's a dictionary!" exclaimed the Dark Priest, grinning broadly and showing a set of pearly white teeth. "Let's look up the word 'moron'. Hey, what do you know? It's a picture of you!" The Dark Priest showed Ceilu the inside of the book. Sure enough, right under the definition of "moron" was a mirror. Ceilu thought it was a picture of himself.
"But...but...ah, screw it!" shouted Ceilu, glaring meanly at the Dark Priest. "You're really asking for it!" With that, Ceilu threw a rock at the Dark Priest's face. The Dark Priest wasn't expecting this and got hit by the rock, yelping in pain and staring in horror at a drop of blood on the floor.
It was his own blood.
The Dark Priest threw a nasty look in Ceilu's direction.
"Why you—Hey, where'd he go?" said the Dark Priest. Ceilu had vanished. Mythiel was staring up at the ceiling in shock.
"Hey Ceilu, how do you cling to the ceiling like that?" called out Mythiel. Ceilu screamed as he fell to the floor. He threw a nasty look at Mythiel.
"Mythiel!!" groaned Ceilu. The Dark Priest stepped on the back of Ceilu's neck, causing the elven assassin to choke.
"No one makes me bleed my own blood." growled the Dark Priest. He tossed aside the dictionary, opened up his real spellbook, and started to chant a spell that would surely do away with Ceilu.
Ceilu panicked inside; the last time he had been in a situation this life- threatening was when Marion caught him reading her diary. He tried to crawl out from underneath the Dark Priest's foot, but the Dark Priest was too strong. He managed to flip himself over, so now he could see where the Dark Priest's potential weak spots were. It only took three seconds for Ceilu to come up with a plan. With his left arm he stabbed one katar into the leg that was holding him down, which didn't stop the Dark Priest from chanting, but it did release him. Once freed, Ceilu pulled out the left katar, sprung up, and stabbed his right katar into the Dark Priest's stomach. There was an awkward silence.
The Dark Priest had an expression of shock on his face. After two seconds, which seemed like hours, the Dark Priest collapsed onto his back. As he passed away, he whispered one word, which was inaudible to Ceilu. Ceilu pulled his katar out of the Dark Priest and stumbled over towards the wall. Mythiel was running over to get the Quadrille out of the corner. However, the room started rumbling. Part of the ceiling crashed down, revealing another level of the prison. Mythiel screamed, running over towards the exit. More of the ceiling crashed down on the spot Mythiel had stood on just two seconds ago. Ceilu grabbed Reev's unconscious body, and he and Mythiel quickly dashed out of the room just as the ceiling completely caved in.
Ceilu leaned Reev's unconscious body against the wall and looked at Mythiel.
"Well, now that the hard part's done, we just have to wait until Reev wakes up so we can get back to Prontera and get those Crystal Pumps." said Ceilu. He and Mythiel waited and waited for Reev to wake up.
An hour went by, and Reev was still unconscious. Ceilu and Mythiel were now sitting against the wall. Exhausted, Mythiel decided to take a nap, resting her head on Ceilu's left shoulder. As another hour passed, Ceilu could sometimes see one of Mythiel's paws twitch, or maybe she'd make a tiny mew, or maybe she'd sniff a little bit, all of which were caused by her dreams. Finally, Reev wearily blinked once, then twice, then opened his eyes, his Sakkat falling to the ground. Groaning, Reev struggled to get onto all fours, looking at Ceilu.
"That...hurt..." moaned Reev, clutching his groin area with one hand. "Did you...get that mace?"
"I sure did, and it was quite an interesting experience indeed." said Ceilu. He started lightly shaking Mythiel by the shoulders to wake her up. However, in her sleep, she let out a short yelp and slapped Ceilu, still asleep. Ceilu groaned, shaking Mythiel again. This woke her up. "Let's get going, Mythiel." With that, Reev used his Butterfly Wing and teleported the trio back to Prontera.
