Ethan - I can't believe the time has finally come. I will avenge my father today. Here it is, Ereadus's castle.377Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9Q98g78le
377Please respect copyright.PENANAsexYC15t8V
Lunadea - It's less creepy than I thought.377Please respect copyright.PENANAQmHRekLvTK
377Please respect copyright.PENANA0LNvDCA0Qt
Ethan - There he is.377Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2MoACsUex
377Please respect copyright.PENANAv7IYcV2tZO
The group reunites at Ereadus's castle, a large, dark castle in the woods. The rain outside made it seem even more foreboding, but the sun was still shining, giving the castle a somewhat normal appearance.377Please respect copyright.PENANAyrO6x5hETw
377Please respect copyright.PENANAvR8bffEC5s
Sammy - Took your sweet time getting here.377Please respect copyright.PENANA670nraHcts
377Please respect copyright.PENANAYmZEfD9l9P
Lunadea - Do you always have something to say?377Please respect copyright.PENANAd6BLgZKtvr
377Please respect copyright.PENANA1dIv4LVX8t
Sammy - You are a Dämoneneko? Interesting people you gather, Ethan.377Please respect copyright.PENANAalTr4gIIhM
377Please respect copyright.PENANAwhu1Cnb9w0
Lunadea was getting defensive.377Please respect copyright.PENANAomjx3RlA5X
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQh3vNk4bup
Lunadea - Does that bother you?377Please respect copyright.PENANA5RCcTEzHuK
377Please respect copyright.PENANAoKOsXOttq2
Sammy, with a dismissive tone, answered377Please respect copyright.PENANAvxRmeFO5DR
377Please respect copyright.PENANA6qRxXSkhWV
Sammy - Bother me? Pfft! I don't care. You could be the Mad King himself, I have no such feelings.377Please respect copyright.PENANAqzLH3UL5s8
377Please respect copyright.PENANAEl2MjVJzjn
Lunadea, feeling offended, was about to retort, but Dorian intervened.377Please respect copyright.PENANAAlEmilc99j
377Please respect copyright.PENANAK5SBSasR3U
Dorian - It's okay, Luna. Do you want to lead the group Sammy?377Please respect copyright.PENANAEUNQRfP2uO
377Please respect copyright.PENANAYF2sCNFZsN
Sammy - I'm not exactly a leader, so once we're inside, you guys should probably stay out of my way.377Please respect copyright.PENANArTGVY3DWz7
377Please respect copyright.PENANANwUZWydsHe
Ethan - We'll just have to be on our guard. Let's go inside.377Please respect copyright.PENANAlyzFFpdehV
377Please respect copyright.PENANAibppHV5uJr
The group agrees and opens the castle doors. When they enter, they see a bunch of undead bodies destroyed on the ground.377Please respect copyright.PENANAztwI1Jvn1E
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhEImEXYhBe
Dorian - What happened here?377Please respect copyright.PENANAAEDQwXb32d
377Please respect copyright.PENANAYzXxPoKGZL
Sammy - Looks like there was some fighting here already. Maybe someone else decided to help the kid?377Please respect copyright.PENANAPCMiTTy1Ie
377Please respect copyright.PENANA93lAPJIPup
Ethan - That's not possible. Nobody else knew about the kid.377Please respect copyright.PENANAfif7mbUj8Q
377Please respect copyright.PENANAiWCcFY3Kxf
Lunadea - Maybe the mother took matters into her own hands?377Please respect copyright.PENANA8HkoB6yhU6
377Please respect copyright.PENANAv1nreEw4cu
Ethan - I doubt it...377Please respect copyright.PENANADoR6jOdSrt
377Please respect copyright.PENANAKTlo7qYMLX
As they continue walking, a trapdoor suddenly opens beneath their feet and they all fall into a pit that is about five meters deep, except for Sammy, who managed to turn into smoke at the sound of the trapdoor.377Please respect copyright.PENANAfUy3rtoB0u
377Please respect copyright.PENANAH69Ssmoaub
Sammy - Looks like you guys are in a pickle.377Please respect copyright.PENANAqCkFCUFxtJ
377Please respect copyright.PENANAei59Rxi2IO
Ethan - Are you guys okay?377Please respect copyright.PENANAd0cp66fruQ
377Please respect copyright.PENANAP6ESdagt4z
Dorian - I'm okay, Luna?377Please respect copyright.PENANAOfBgVpLDYs
377Please respect copyright.PENANAzx0jCpH08e
Lunadea - I'm fine, don't worry about me.377Please respect copyright.PENANA5AP5TXhRP9
377Please respect copyright.PENANA1g4inG0ab1
Ethan - Sammy, can you see anything that could help us?377Please respect copyright.PENANAOKpmecpK9p
377Please respect copyright.PENANA2aQj9oyFRY
Sammy - Not really. And to be honest, it's not my problem. I told you guys to worry about yourselves, and within the first two minutes of our 'adventure', you get trapped. I'll be leaving now. Have fun.377Please respect copyright.PENANApngXFdyahr
377Please respect copyright.PENANAROiD7pAYnW
Lunadea - You can't do that, you jerk! Hey!377Please respect copyright.PENANAmnygF5ye4c
377Please respect copyright.PENANA90RPrARd2r
Dorian - Leave it, Luna... we need to figure out how to get out of here.377Please respect copyright.PENANAiKh9W0KGHt
377Please respect copyright.PENANAzEwgTM9kyv
Ethan - I'm sorry, guys. It's my fault. I shouldn't have trusted that guy.377Please respect copyright.PENANAEE5YhaiOKA
377Please respect copyright.PENANAb5awx1uPbx
Lunadea - It's not your fault, Ethan. Damn it!377Please respect copyright.PENANA7FlDuRccBi
377Please respect copyright.PENANAbA98LsgmS1
As Sammy sprints down the dimly lit corridor. He knows that he is running out of time to rescue the kid, and the thought of failure weighs heavy on his mind. But then he sees it - a glint of silver in the distance. He approaches the door and notices the intricate engravings that adorn its surface. Once he opens the door he is greeted by the sound of rattling bones.377Please respect copyright.PENANAN4jpjQ9jFS
377Please respect copyright.PENANA8cMtMm8umd
Sammy reacts before the skeletons lunge at him. He quickly disappears in a cloud of smoke, narrowly avoiding the blades as they swing through the air where he once stood. When he reappears, he unwraps a little bit of his chain and whips them both really fast, his movements precise and efficient.377Please respect copyright.PENANAU1HJcxLJio
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQTawC6Ma24
With the threat dealt with, Sammy takes a moment to survey the room. It's massive, with high ceilings and a feeling of emptiness that seems to echo through the space. There's not much in the room, just a large bed in the center and a bookshelf against the wall. Strangely, there are no windows in the room - it's as if it was built to be completely sealed off from the outside world. As he looks around, a soft voice speaks from a dark corner of the room.377Please respect copyright.PENANAdoc9BFiMp7
377Please respect copyright.PENANAuYmQjv3fQA
Mangetsu - Ehm, Mister?377Please respect copyright.PENANA3xI0y6CgRO
377Please respect copyright.PENANAqtcxS6W9EK
Sammy readies his chain, prepared to strike whoever is lurking in the corner.377Please respect copyright.PENANASqlG9vSn2x
377Please respect copyright.PENANA2cFOLsXXMW
Sammy - Who goes there?377Please respect copyright.PENANAslDXT5oXOu
377Please respect copyright.PENANADE8ZocEmQK
Mangetsu - I'm Mangetsu! What's your name?377Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9tZKYVLZv
377Please respect copyright.PENANAvBiBiuyhA9
Mangetsu steps out of the shadows, a friendly smile on her face as she cradles a guitar in her arms. Sammy notices that she is just a little girl, but he doesn't let his guard down.377Please respect copyright.PENANAhOtrXZwSFV
377Please respect copyright.PENANAAsrln79AoZ
Sammy - Why are you in this castle?377Please respect copyright.PENANAjHOmmt0eK1
377Please respect copyright.PENANAiG2q0uFOW6
Mangetsu - This is my home!377Please respect copyright.PENANADaqldaBlqx

377Please respect copyright.PENANAEIEKXHsfmD
Mangetsu - Probably in his lab.377Please respect copyright.PENANA48beUuAnEO
377Please respect copyright.PENANAN7yht7iffW
Sammy - Do you know where that is?377Please respect copyright.PENANA3SOfz6PjZd
377Please respect copyright.PENANAAvTFk5APBn
Mangetsu - No, my dad doesn't tell me much. Actually, he doesn't talk to me much at all377Please respect copyright.PENANAwOcFYIhPxB
377Please respect copyright.PENANAVAm3CNclpH
Sammy - I'm sure it must be hard for you, being a princess in a castle.377Please respect copyright.PENANAMgydCsuhYh
377Please respect copyright.PENANAoyG1nFhxy9
Sammy says in a sarcastic tone.377Please respect copyright.PENANA2STGStuuNj
377Please respect copyright.PENANABD2TLw5scQ
Mangetsu just smiles at him.377Please respect copyright.PENANAdRLvWJtvDg
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJVHe1IcNZL
Mangetsu - No, really! I have all of them keeping me company.377Please respect copyright.PENANAgzMdyZOAid
377Please respect copyright.PENANABxacGbQSrW
Sammy - All... of them?377Please respect copyright.PENANAPxCQO9Jo66
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGQiDpHQyeU
Mangetsu - Yes! I see all kinds of people around me! But only I can see them. It's my gift, dad says.377Please respect copyright.PENANASKdDbCrEyz
377Please respect copyright.PENANAxtjYGHwI7R
Sammy - Did you summon those skeletons too?377Please respect copyright.PENANAnNXRnAIEkm
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIjnjzhMwfd
Mangetsu - No, no. I can't do things like my dad. I just see them, and they're more human.377Please respect copyright.PENANAKbqnMlONRz
377Please respect copyright.PENANAs4UDGuaEIz
Sammy - Okay, Mangetsu, you're coming with me!377Please respect copyright.PENANAcTLGml0WRL
377Please respect copyright.PENANAUyHZMTG8jT
Mangetsu - I can't, mister. I'm really sorry...but I can't walk anywhere else except my room and the dining hall.377Please respect copyright.PENANAj1MjWZt1JE
377Please respect copyright.PENANAiVGF1i1Crj
Sammy - I'm sure you'll be fine. I need to speak with your dad and you're going to help me find him.377Please respect copyright.PENANAzKKrpoWPxa
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhJdTuXNhsd
Meanwhile, in the pit:377Please respect copyright.PENANApnAD54NAKl
377Please respect copyright.PENANALYPm8yZ3hu
Dorian - I'm not!377Please respect copyright.PENANAj38OHSojiG
377Please respect copyright.PENANA60P7mnVx1b
Lunadea - Dorina? Are you ok?377Please respect copyright.PENANAwheJ5xOqeX
377Please respect copyright.PENANAoTejUnv4WT
Dorian - We need to find a way out of here.377Please respect copyright.PENANAbF835hIN8j
377Please respect copyright.PENANA1NDCGkK4aJ
Ethan - Climb on my shoulders, I'll throw you both out.377Please respect copyright.PENANAiRz4BOlCvi
377Please respect copyright.PENANArA9wGzV99v
Lunadea - You want us to leave you here?377Please respect copyright.PENANAHWFjrNQ0LM
377Please respect copyright.PENANAwWMbOhQoju
Ethan - We don't have a choice. Sammy doesn't know, but he won't be able to defeat Ereadus on his own. You guys need to help him.377Please respect copyright.PENANAnGoNTaoXCh
377Please respect copyright.PENANAilIE92pCSj
Dorian - We're not leaving you here, Ethan. And Sammy can wait. He got himself into this situation.377Please respect copyright.PENANAxmPJOzYyTc
377Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ1tH7O1Va
Ethan - Please don't be too hard on Sammy. He's actually a good guy with a tough act.377Please respect copyright.PENANAhJZTpAz9fp
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXCiy93cmi5
Suddenly, they hear a voice from above.377Please respect copyright.PENANAIOwzR2XqaV
377Please respect copyright.PENANAgJNxARik5p
Guard 1 - Captain?377Please respect copyright.PENANAgIlCDAdgeb
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtdML0bKI6O
Ethan - Rolfd?377Please respect copyright.PENANAlquZV5REZD
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhCkcXQnZRw
Rolfd - Captain! Thank god we found you!377Please respect copyright.PENANAW9FwVjrLCe
377Please respect copyright.PENANAR9wRUhweYK
Ethan - What are you guys doing here?377Please respect copyright.PENANAgaymQqj9ZW
377Please respect copyright.PENANAHCc8MutrOO
Rolfd - The village is under attack by the undead. Our fighters are trying to hold them off, but there are too many of them. The mayor sent us to ask for assistance from the captain.377Please respect copyright.PENANANEJZUvfpRq
377Please respect copyright.PENANAqOZkRi8MbC
Ethan - Quick, go find some rope and get us out of here. I'll head back to the village and help out.377Please respect copyright.PENANAuciTk1ZTgo
377Please respect copyright.PENANAK9edXYoK0d
Deep underground in the castle, Ereadus's lab is bustling with activity. He is working on a body, but he is not alone. Behind him stands a beautiful young woman with long, flowing black hair, dark eyes, and olive skin. In her hand, she holds a jar of sand.377Please respect copyright.PENANAjlK5VW7d9k
377Please respect copyright.PENANAov3otrCW2z
Ereadus looks up at her.377Please respect copyright.PENANAKDkln1rj6r
377Please respect copyright.PENANAeJTx4P5LKk
Ereadus - It seems there are other people trying to enter my castle. They're not as smart as you. At least you didn't fall for the first trap.377Please respect copyright.PENANA0V6p0u7wML
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtI33A0TDDg
Girl - Answer my question.377Please respect copyright.PENANAASNmxZzFe8
377Please respect copyright.PENANAKL6WHxcpyu
Ereadus - You're pretty skilled, killed all my minions until now. But are you sure you can talk to me like that? What was your name again, little girl?377Please respect copyright.PENANAJd4eMdhoNf
377Please respect copyright.PENANAibBLV0R1lH
Analissa glares at him.377Please respect copyright.PENANAIT2FnLgc80
377Please respect copyright.PENANAP9JAmG22LT
Analissa - It's Analissa, and please don't waste my time. I kill your minions because they attacked me377Please respect copyright.PENANAbVf9U9jJXJ
377Please respect copyright.PENANASXg33I8p3Y
Ereadus - Yes, yes. You have a prince in that jar, huh? What magic sealed him?377Please respect copyright.PENANAyPhiFXkOL5
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIdHwP2lA8O
Analissa - That is not of your concern.377Please respect copyright.PENANAkVpXebqFiL
377Please respect copyright.PENANAqgYP9GGA7z
Ereadus - But it is. You come to me, asking for my help. I need to know what sealed him in order to release him.377Please respect copyright.PENANAxINVXASFNX
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtkDzqQcP7u
Analissa - Engenshi magic.377Please respect copyright.PENANAmG1PTf5Wj4
377Please respect copyright.PENANA11Gjaecd4i
Ereadus's eyes widen in surprise.377Please respect copyright.PENANAtaoYRVLCN4
377Please respect copyright.PENANAfBS3fCN6vb
Ereadus - Engenshi? Why would one of 'them' seal away your prince?377Please respect copyright.PENANA5PoPeLFjmj
377Please respect copyright.PENANADUPTONpVmU
Analissa - My prince rebelled against the king... He sent his kind to fight us.377Please respect copyright.PENANAa0g3BYYsD3
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIrlRVpekNj
Ereadus - I heard about a rebelion but that was years ago, i was a kid when that happend. You probably wasent even born. Are you telling me this prince of yours is more than 50 years old?377Please respect copyright.PENANAydA3L81GKT
377Please respect copyright.PENANA47zZl4i4MF
Analissa - I've had enough! I'm leaving.377Please respect copyright.PENANAQXAppPaLYj
377Please respect copyright.PENANAKYSJ0BIK5K
Ereadus - Wait! I can release your prince.377Please respect copyright.PENANAczg8qsqThP
377Please respect copyright.PENANAPVQVvu1PBp
Sammy and Mangetsu continue walking through the corridors, searching for Ereadus's lab. Mangetsu looks nervous377Please respect copyright.PENANAhx6yeWMnrG
377Please respect copyright.PENANAMXg2jj4fRP
Mangetsu - I really shouldn't be here, mister. My dad doesn't like it when I escape my room.377Please respect copyright.PENANAyIUdgjaYbk
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIK0HWX3mBT
Sammy - Your dad isn't the best, is he?377Please respect copyright.PENANATJRzybHHMB
377Please respect copyright.PENANAr6fHdbSH6Z
Mangetsu - I wouldn't know. The only people I've met are you and the two other people in the woods the other night.377Please respect copyright.PENANACOHVq5Qh43
377Please respect copyright.PENANAYOMcWMI0pu
Sammy points to a dark door leading to the basement.377Please respect copyright.PENANAHT2RVsdAoD
377Please respect copyright.PENANAVEntz3ImLT
Sammy - A little bit cliche for a dark lab, don't you think, Ereadus?.377Please respect copyright.PENANAEvnGkPHd13
377Please respect copyright.PENANAPBOEztpvYm
Mangetsu - I can't go in there377Please respect copyright.PENANAksv5AkZ60O
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGbZvWHKVIq
Mangetsu's face is full of fear and her body starts trembling. Sweat runs down her face.377Please respect copyright.PENANAclsF8w1IeX
377Please respect copyright.PENANAY0iocod9Am
Sammy - Hey, hey, look at me. I can't imagine what happened to you, but I promise nothing is going to happen to you down there. I promise this nightmare stops right now. Let's go, and stay close.377Please respect copyright.PENANAj9rh9clZfz
377Please respect copyright.PENANAPmSnBdObP0
He starts heading towards the lab, but Mangetsu doesn't move. She's too afraid. Sammy turns to her and looks her directly in the eyes.377Please respect copyright.PENANAi7E6HbFWvx
377Please respect copyright.PENANAU84JjX6Mdn
Sammy - Whatever happens, stay close to me. I will protect you, okay?377Please respect copyright.PENANAqu8XQ7CoPd
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXhdWTp4muP
Mangetsu - Okay...377Please respect copyright.PENANAHOKO9qIw20
377Please respect copyright.PENANA9lkuoSoteU
Ereadus examines the jar.377Please respect copyright.PENANAyEPx6Wsj3j
377Please respect copyright.PENANAWGjbJbXIiA
Ereadus - It's going to be hard, since it's an Engenshi seal. But I might know someone who knows a little bit more about that. I just need to summon her.377Please respect copyright.PENANAeLLM70ageo
377Please respect copyright.PENANAvrwjcEyhgB
Analissa - What's the price?377Please respect copyright.PENANA8TLm0jq9Jg
377Please respect copyright.PENANAitPoaRtMC7
Ereadus smiles.377Please respect copyright.PENANABTQqcrdNP2
377Please respect copyright.PENANAaNdK9a5Q4B
Ereadus - Price? Of course. Well, if I'm able to unseal your prince, I will find out where he failed. You see, he and I have the same ambition. The price will be you and him working with me to finally kill the king.377Please respect copyright.PENANAYS9MkuVffA
377Please respect copyright.PENANAl1slEYFnnW
Analissa - You're really as mad as they say you are if you think you can kill the king.377Please respect copyright.PENANApXPTALtsda
377Please respect copyright.PENANAcbApZt52Sl
Ereadus - They called me mad when I didn't have magic. Look at me now. But I see that this conversation has to be stopped for a while. Sammy! What are you doing here? I told you I can't bring her back.377Please respect copyright.PENANAOyD78byqpK
377Please respect copyright.PENANALZfjuGEYr5
Sammy steps forward, his chain at the ready.377Please respect copyright.PENANA2ax4XWw0rA
377Please respect copyright.PENANAuSJ2WWS46u
Sammy - Shut your mouth. I need the girl, Ereadus.377Please respect copyright.PENANAf9DDmmzIo2
377Please respect copyright.PENANAbszF7jImxQ
Ereadus's eyes widen in shock377Please respect copyright.PENANARTtdRG6ifF
377Please respect copyright.PENANAma87ycvI8L
Ereadus - Mangetsu... What is the meaning of this?!377Please respect copyright.PENANAiHGiH8icc5
377Please respect copyright.PENANA0mpGLxZKvm
Mangetsu looks down at the ground, her hands shaking.377Please respect copyright.PENANAHapuxsZjRm
377Please respect copyright.PENANAMOz1tEDmV4
Mangetsu - Sorry! I'm sorry! I'll go back to my room right now.377Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ehl6iO55X
377Please respect copyright.PENANA9otkeZ1uO5
Sammy - You stay here. I'm telling you one more time. Give me back the little girl you took from the village.377Please respect copyright.PENANAa4BJ4SVeIe
377Please respect copyright.PENANATdrifvYOTb
Ereadus's expression turns dark.377Please respect copyright.PENANAMuqZK177JJ
377Please respect copyright.PENANAFPudiVoBgS
Ereadus - Which part? But don't worry about that. You saw my daughter, Sammy. That makes me really mad. I'll deal with you later, Mangetsu. You! You want your prince back? Bring me that guy's head.377Please respect copyright.PENANAtEOsf5kGjE
377Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ec4TfAIoJ
Sammy and Analissa stand face to face, ready for whatever happens next.
