Beastfire: Chapter 23 is here! Enjoy!
Everyone contemplated how to separate Ygrene from the demon inside of him. That was when Ivy thought of something.
"DUDE! I think I have an idea!" she exclaimed, causing all eyes to be on her.
Sprx gasped in shock.
"You're actually thinking for once?" he quipped.
Ivy just flipped him the bird. "Shut up, Sparky. Anyway, I was doing some reading yesterday when Frus was sleeping and I found the second worst demon in this place. It went by the name Muerto and was the final demon killed by my great great grandma. This one is powerful enough to both possess someone and attack another person."
"And?"
"Well, if you can destroy the physical form's eardrums, you can get rid of the other half too."
"And how are we supposed to do that?" Sprx demanded.
Maria thought now. She knew of a way, but had to choose carefully who would do so. They needed someone with the vocal chords and the sheer talent to blow the eardrums out of whack. Who did she know of, though?
"Can anyone here sing a really high note? High enough to break something?" she asked.
Nobody answered. Finally, Frus spoke up.
"Well, I know Ivy can hit the high notes when she sings, but I don't know if she can go that high."
Maria looked at her descendent.
"Okay, then. Let's hear you try it," said Maria, putting a crystal glass next to the bed.
Ivy had to warm up, first. Then, she sang a REALLY high note and held it for a while, shattering the glass. Maria grinned. She had now found who she'd bring to destroy the demon. Needless to say, she was quite proud. Before she could say anything, Saga began to wake up.
"What was that?" he asked, groggily.
Maria looked over at him and walked to his bed.
"That," she announced proudly, "was my great great granddaughter!"
"Oh...," said Saga. "Nice pipes."
Ivy smirked and then stuck her tongue out at Sprx. Sprx rolled his eyes.
"Now," said Maria, "I'd like for Ivy to come with me, as w-"
"But she's hurt, remember?" Frus reminded her.
"Yes, I know that," Maria replied. "However, I know I can't hit any notes that high and it's one of the only ways to utterly destroy this demon. His hearing is extremely sensitive. I promise I won't let anything happen to her. Would you like to come along to make sure I keep this promise?"
Frus nodded.
"Alright. Saga, Vrust, Sprx, and Otto...you should come as well."
They all agreed and Maria reformatted a gun holster so that it could carry Ivy and Frus both comfortably. Once she was finished, they went on their way to find Ygrene and Muerto.
