The Manor's Fall!
"GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAN!" Moaned the abomination once more. From it's hand it charges up a blue fireball. Whispers and small whimpers are heard as the fireball forms. The creature throws the fireball as loud shrieks overtake the room. The woman quickly dodges the fireball. She aims the rod at the abomination.
"FIRE!" Yelled the woman, who proceeds to launch a fireball of her own.
The blue aura disperses as the fireball hits, but the abomination in itself is undamaged.
"FIRE!" Yelled the woman again, launching another fireball towards the abomination.
The abomination moves to the side, dodging the fireball and quickly runs up to the woman. It lifts up one of it's fists and slams it down to where the woman is standing.
SLAM!
"GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOAN!" Moaned the abomination once more, on it's face is some sort of twisted miserable smile.
It lifts it's fist up, only to find that the woman isn't there anymore. The abomination looks around, wondering where she went.
"Hey you!" Yelled the woman from above.
The Abomination looks up. "GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAN!"
"FIRE!" Yelled the woman. She once again launches another fireball.
At that moment, the blue aura of souls engulfs the abomination, once again shielding it from the attack.
"FIRE!" Yelled the woman again. She shoots another fireball at the abomination, and it's left shoulder starts to go ablaze.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Roared the creature in what seems to be immense pain.
"There, that did it." Thought the woman to herself.
The creature once again engulfs itself in it's blue aura. The flames from the Fire spell diminish. It's shoulder however doesn't seem to heal.
"Well, I wasn't off when I thought that would work, but that aura of his isn't making things any easier. I have to think of something, and I need to think of something now, I'm running low on power." Thought the woman to herself.
"GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOAN!" Moaned the creature angrilly. It soon jumps into the air.
"What?" Asked the woman.
The abomination starts to drop downwards towards the woman. The woman tries to jump away, but as soon as the abomination lands, the aura spreads out, knocking the woman into a wall.
"GAH!" Yelled the woman.
"GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOAN!" Moaned the creature. The Abomination moves slowly towards the woman, it's right arm outstretched.
"Ugh." Said the woman trying to recover from the last attack. A large shadow engulfs and she looks up. "Gasp!"
"GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOAN!" Moaned the abomination, going in for the kill.
Suddenly, a knife like projectile is shown to penetrate the creature's left shoulder. The Abomination looks, wondering what it is. The knife then proceeds to explode. The creature falls to the side, away from the woman.
"It seems like you could use some help, m'lady." Said the wagon driver.
"Daniel!" Said the woman. She quickly get's up and runs over to him.
"You really should be more careful, it's a good thing I always come in the nick of time." Said the driver, now known as Daniel.
"Thank you. Now then, let's get back to work." Said the woman.
The Abomination get's back up on it's feet, the entire left arm now completely blown off. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAH!" Yelled the creature in pain and anger.
"You might want to take this before engaging in combat again." Said Daniel. Daniel hands over what seems to be a carrot.
"Thank you." Said the woman, who proceeds to eat the carrot.
The Abomination once again sorrounds itself in a blue aura and jumps towards them.
"Move back!" Said the woman.
The two quickly back away from the spot. The Abomination lands and the aura spreads out, damaging that immediate area.
The woman aims her rod at the abomination.
"I'm going all out on this one!" Said the woman. "FIRE!"
Large amounts of heat begins to fill the room, and a fireball is shown to be growing way larger than any of the previous ones.
"GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOAN!" Moaned the creature, once again sorrounding itself in a blue aura.
"HRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAH!" Yelled the woman, now releasing the fireball towards the creature. It makes contact and proceeds to explode.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Yelled the creature, now engulfed in flames. Souls begin to escape from it's body as it desperately tries to put the flames out. The creature crashes into multiple obstacles around the room. It looks towards Daniel's and the woman's direction and once again proceeds to jump towards them. Before it can impact the ground however, the flames burn out completely,
leaving nothing more but a pile of ashes.
"Well then, I suppose that's yet another successful mission under your mantle?" Asked Daniel.
"We're not done yet." Said the woman.
She points upwards, and the souls are shown to be flying around erratically. Whispers and screams fill up the room rather quickly. The stone walls, from the looks of things, begin to degrade and crack.
"So that's what they're doing." Said the woman. "If that's the case, we should leave, now!"
"Can you walk?" Asked Daniel.
"Yes, come on, we need to get out!" Said the woman.
The two run down the hallway, which also begins to degrade, the two leave and see that pretty much everything in the lobby is falling apart. The two exit the manor, and quickly enter the wagon.
"HYAH!" Yelled Daniel, whipping the horses. "Move, now!"
"Neigh!" Neighed the two horses, the two of them begin to rapidly gallop away from the manor.
We are then shown the manor, which soon begins to leak out souls like crazy. White lines of light fly out of the house, and it goes up in an explosion of blue fire. Whispers, whimpers, and screams, with some laughter is heard as more and more souls fly upwards into the heavens.
"How much unrest was in that manor!" Asked Daniel, shocked by the abundance of souls flying upward into the sky.
"Who knows." Said the woman. "All I know is that now they can rest peacefully, along with everyone residing in Kilimere."
"Speaking of which, we should probably see if there is still an inn open at this hour." Said Daniel.
"Right." Said the woman.
The two ride on off into the darkness, soon disappearing from sight.
The next day.
"Ah, so the mission regarding the manor has been completed. Excellent work as always." Said the man in silouette.
"There were a few close calls. If Daniel hadn't interfered, I wouldn't be here talking to you." Said the woman.
"That would of been quite a tragedy for sure." Said the shadowy figure. "The important thing is you're alive, and that Kilimere won't have any more problems concerning the supernatural."
The man begins to shuffle a little bit, and he soon hands over a medium sized bag, no doubt full of money.
"5000 Gella, your payment, miss Marina." Said the man in silouette.
"Thank you sir." Said the woman, now known as Marina.
"We're done here. Until I need you again. Dismissed." Said the shadowy man.
She bows to the shadowy man and leaves.
As soon as the door shuts, a ringing is soon heard. The shadowy man soon answers.
"Yes?" Said the shadowy man.
"Your report." Sounded a familiar voice.
"Ah yes, I just got through with checking out that Marina person I was telling you about. She managed to..." Said the shadowy man.
"Forget about her, did you get what I sent you there for?" Asked the voice.
"Unfortunately, no. Guess these idiot exorcists don't have it." Said the shadowy figure.
"Guuuuuh! Are you sure?" Asked the voice.
"Boss, unless I pull some sort of secret switch which opens up a secret passage somewhere, I have checked every square inch of this damn place!" Said the shadowy man.
"Hm. They must have it somewhere around there, I'm sure of it." Said the voice.
"Do you want me to keep searching boss?" Asked the shadowy man.
"No, we'll come back for it later. Right now I need you to head back to headquarters immediately. I'll send Lilith to come pick you up." Said the voice.
"Very well then boss, Jethro out." Said the shadowy man. He stands up and loosens his hair abit. He steps back into the light, and it is indeed revealed to be Jethro, spiked red hair and all.
"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. What could that man want this time?" Asked Jethro to himself. He walks out the door, whistling some sort of sinister tune, twirling his handy pistol around.
We are soon met with an empty office, with a blinking light, that eventually burns out.
Author's Notes: And that is the last time I'll be introducing new characters. All of the main characters have been introduced, so that means it's time to move the plot forward. What could Jethro and his boss be looking for, we'll have to wait and see. If you like this story, leave a favorite. I'd love to read your comments and your reviews, as long as they aren't flames. See you next chapter.
