A young lady is convinced her house is haunted but no one believes her. Even her own parents tell her it's just an old house, and it’s just her imagination. One day she is in the bakery telling Dave what has been happening.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47nwCAkpuy
The baker points his hand over to the left hand side of the shop and says, “Aunty.”copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEjlGsOAs0
The young lady watches a teenager, with long black flowing in waves down their back, who is dressed in black jeans and a thick fluffy deep red jumper, turns around. This is when she notices the person has a line of pupils going across their eyes.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqDESp5an9
“Madeleine, please allow me to introduce you to my aunty Yiska also known as Gaylin Spear, he is a Dreamer and somewhat of an expert when it comes to ghosts.”copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUUCgw7Fiy
“Expert,” giggles the young man. “That title belongs to my dear mother.”copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡckHlsM1aC0
Dave bows his head in respect and asks, “What do you think it could be?”copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPoIot5IAG
Gaylin shrugs his shoulders and replies, “I’m not sure. May I come back with you?”copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxnI3iK3Yn
Madeleine sees the baker is nodding and he says, “Trust me he can help you.”copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmAHU0CQkZ
The young lady nods, she picks up the loaf of bread and walks out of the shop along with the god.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRgJ8kSkyz
Madeleine's house lies at the other end of the village near the Ram Inn, she unlocks the door allows the Dreamer to go first.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhsQ5Xd6df
Gaylin puts out his hands and says, “Hmm... I am not sensing anything at the moment. Question, is there one area of the house where this is more activity?”copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9xQ6zsC2I
"Yes, the living room, as things seem to get moved around more in there," replies the young lady, leading him down the corridor.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0EZG99XWr
The Dreamer enters the room, he has a look around and emits a soft, "Hmm?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzhw7XP9kI
"Let me guess, nothing?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡscJlQWHXti
"I'm afraid so. Do not look so disappointed, my dear for I am sensing somethin'. What we need to do is find the heart of the house."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxEF5Hkd7C
Madeleine looks at him all confused and mutters, "Huh? I don't understand."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZSYPynkdm
Gaylin smiles and replies, "Every house has a heart, it is the only place where nothing happens and no ghosts can enter. I've still lost you, haven't I?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz2WBOylRH
The young lady nods and replies, "I'm sure I will understand in time. Anyway, how's about a cup of tea or coffee whilst we wait?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LJxZZdxaF
"Please my dear, coffee black with two sugars."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Yojj2WNV
Madeleine nods and they head in to the the kitchen where the young lady goes on to to place the bread in the bread bin and fills the kettle with water.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfIRz1Pk4z
Gaylin takes a seat at the able and says, "Tell me everythin' that has been happening, even if ya feel it isn’t worth mentionin'."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuWtAxAcFu
The young lady places the mugs down on the table and replies, “I have had from door slamming to lights being switched off. Oh and footsteps going up or down the stairs."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FQdXR7AC4
"I see. Has anything tried to touch ya or grab ya?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztHR9GAwiW
“No, nothing like that... but I have heard whispering in the corridor and on the landing.”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLIEw7SkAY
This makes the Dreamer’s eyebrows rise and he mutters, “Intreating.”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKhQW4HwEQ
“I'm guessing it is more than one ghost.”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwETi7eHHv
“It is soundin' that way. I'll take a look around.”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhINAhqM8NH
They both head back out into the hallway just as a set of footsteps are heard running up the stairs and Madeleine says, “Just like that. I hear them around three times during the day. Do you see anything?”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIcWqUbdQJ
The Dreamer shakes his head, he sets his mug down on the banister post and heads up the steps to see a man, quite a young man dressed in eighteenth century clothing is standing on the landing. “Good day, dear boy.”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKdHtoHkEu
The ghost is quite surprised by the man talking to him it courses him to disappear.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLnl7muwE8
“Oops, I startled him... hmm? That one down, let's carry on.”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETN3MEH3M0

“Can you recall what time of day ya hear it?”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3gDwGAZkH
Madeleine has a think and replies, “It was in the evening and again in the morning.”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ksLtvp3Pf
“Ah that somethin' to come back to... Anything else?”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV61HglCKhK
The young lady nods and leads the god in to the dining room just as they hear a door slam somewhere upstairs.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ExLs1DT3A
“That's what I mean. It never seems to be in the same place. It seems to move all around the house.”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj90dhB4BH
“Interestin' a ghost that likes slammin' doors. Oh hello,” says Gaylin, waving his left hand.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMoP0iKL7d
Madeleine grows concerned and asks, “What are you seeing?”367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK2SG5rLm2
“A young woman about your age, dressed in eighteenth century clothing,” replies the Dreamer, waving the same hand.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceq3ZtaRo0
The ghost does a curtsy before she continues through the adjacent wall.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8yrWk9uL4
“Hmm...I’m not goin’ to get anywhere quick... I think I'm going to have to contact my brother as he can talk to them."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO425qtrY6
Madeleine looks at him a little confused and says, "Wait, I thought you talk to them?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhitUYJU5S
Gaylin shakes his head and replies with a hint of laughter to his voice, "I am no Soul Drinker, they are the ones who are connected to the other realm. I'll give him a call."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI0rVxY7oL
The young lady watches him pull quite a large silver mobile from the left thigh pocket of his jeans and says, "Shouwei," the screen lights up and beeping sounds emanate from the speaker. copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2MLPweEhc
Guardian is busy playing a game, he is battling a large beast when his mobile starts to vibrate across the table, he uses his abilities to float it over and answers it, "Wèi, brother. Needing my help?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtTBtwMlfO
"I am brother, if that's all right?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKyjPLf80U
"Why wouldn't it be? I'm on my way."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX9owdehEf
"Xièxie brother. I'm at number forty two," replies Gaylin and waits for him to hang up, before he goes on to inform Madeleine and carries on looking around.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEuY1iPbQb
Twenty minutes later a loud knock comes at the front door and the Dreamer says, "Ah here they are."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Lwp7VKgW
The young lady opens it to see a stunning young man, with long wavy blond hair that frames his emotionless handsome face, he is dressed in black combats and a thick dark blue jumper.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwBbZsitU4
"Bro, allow me to introduce ya to Madeleine."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWCDn5bRpT
Guardian steps into the hallway and says in a soft voice, "Afternoon, my dear."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAlXgppmvJ
The young lady is unable to utter a word all that comes out her mouth is a passionate sigh and she looks at him with dreamy eyes.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡo46fwdE4cY
"We've lost her now my host," comes a deep voice.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcpTKQREQK
"It would appear so old friend."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWDJPi5lC4
Gaylin gives him a pat on the arm and says, "Ya should have stayed silent bro."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrOFt6MwUi
They emit soft giggles and Darkness goes on to ask, "So what are we dealing with?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡILiayQzUaA
The Dreamer goes on to tell them everything which has happened so far.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVObwK4hvl
"I agree, there are more than two ghosts in this house... Have you found the heart?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk7x6dVgT2
"Not yet, but I bet ya three can find it."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡNanHFtcQuK
"I like his optimism," says Hisashi as he looks around.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRycjZBkX6
Then they all hear a door slam somewhere upstairs and Gaylin says, "Ah that came from the other side of the landing. I see what she means."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡK21kILDZwe
This seems to snap Madeleine back into reality, her eyes blink a few times and she quickly says, "I wonder what it could be?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGGhaTv5Hn
"Back with us I see," comes a deep man's voice.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4HzjcpjH9
The young lady blushes, she bows her head and replies, "I'm sorry."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡca9kXm8h7u
"It's all right. Please don't worry about it. Now let's find out who is doing that," says Guardian as he makes his way up the steep narrow steps.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8GX7q5T92
When they all reach the landing Madeleine grows concerned when she hears the Soul Drinker wheezing and he places a hand to his chest.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJbbNFfbaK
"Deep breath's my host," comes that same deep voice.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8IyfPFBWz
"Who is that?" the young lady asks, looking around.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYUDegWLMe
"Sorry, that uncle Fedor," replies Gaylin as he strokes his brother's back. "How to put it without frightening ya? I know, he shares my bro's soul."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡuffrEK4N4J
A soft laugh emirates out from Guardian's chest, then the same voice, "That's one way to put it, I guess."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1ZyWEHKve
"Sorry uncle."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU5ilpcM0f
"No, it's all right as I completely understand."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1AAta7xkx
Madeleine would like to ask more questions, but she decides not to as she feels she would be invading their privacy.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2hpnUDmxF
Guardian clears his throat and mutters, "Boy those stairs were steep. You're right Hisashi, the heart of the house must be up here. Let's find it."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTlKOwn4rT
The gods each take a room and it is Gaylin who discovers the heart of the house, a natural cold spot right in the centre of a room which is partly filled with empty boxes.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhnAXXg7ZE
"Hey, I've found it," he calls.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fnjgUrHnp
This brings the others into the room and Guardian replies, "Nice one brother. Now Madeleine this may sound strange, but for your own safety I need you to remain in here."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡPThe8fFbuM
The young lady's eyes open wide and she ask, "Why?" copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeOpF9YpsO
Gaylin shakes his head and sings, "Ya gettin' her all worried."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡto3ISDkzGC
The Soul Drinker places a hand over his mouth and emits a soft, "Oops."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5StgyFc3v8
Darkness clears his throat and says, "My dear, there are some things you mortals do not understand. All we are wanting is to keep you safe whilst we sort out.... I mean help you with your guests."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPaH27h2Ox
Madeleine starts to relax, she nods and replies, "All right I will remain here. But first let me get a blanket."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjyDy2OULc
"I'll go with ya," says Gaylin and follows her out of the room.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEyBKsB3B1
The Soul Drinkers hear the bedroom door next to them open and slam shut, they quickly head out on the landing to see a child go running across. Darkness quickly stops it from entering the bathroom, he gently picks it up and says in a playful way, "Ha caught you."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡZakNYHFfoL
The child let's out a whine and says, "No! No! No!"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uMKMsjut1
Guardian strokes the child's head and says, "Aren't you sweet. How old are you?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47vzWHVGdT
"I'm three," replies the child, holding up three fingers.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4PDq9s0dh
"Aww bless. So you're the one who has been slamming the doors, ay?" Darkness asks, whilst giving the child a tickle.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡnISlDFstE7
Guardian shakes his head and says when it releases a small squeal, "Careful old friend."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOi3nSTPM
"Don't worry my host, I'm not hurting him. He is just showing his displeasure of me tickling him, aren't you?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a33U9TLDZ
The child laughs when the man tickles his tummy again.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0KuzYHPlW
"I see. Where are your mummy and daddy?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZxmlmCRWm
The little boy shrugs his shoulders and replies, "I cannot find them."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6wcWHk1dY
Then Celestial sees the young man on the landing who is dressed in eighteenth century clothing, "Is this your brother?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nyxo7khPU
The man shakes his head and replies, "No. Nor is he a family member."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoFUnVaUKT
"The poor thing," says Gaylin, walking over to them. "I wonder where his parents could be?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jc1D6a8KR
"I was wondering that myself."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLdwEe0c4x
"Nightfall," replies the Dreamer watching his guardian come stepping through a portal.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2sROhUnOb
The moment the child sees the huge black clocked figure coming towards him, he buries his face into Darkness' chest and starts to cry.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfRVkCwy5F
Nightfall takes a step back and says, "I know I look terrifying, but I can assure you I would not hurt you little one. Even saying this, I know you sill will not come with. I'll be back."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfpIB8eZ84
The guardian's doubled bladed axe appears beside him, it slices through the air to crate a portal back into the other realm to return a moment later with a beautiful lady guardian who walks over to Fedor.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO2anK3v22
"You weren't kidding Nightfall, he is just a baby, no wonder he is afraid of you," she says, stroking the back of the child's head.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjSsdgAT3z
"Will you be able to help him?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGiCO25AWd
"I think so, that's if he is willing to come with me?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡku6wJkirZI
The child looks up at the woman, who is dressed in a long white gown, with her hair in a bun on top of her head, he uses his little hands to dry his eyes and asks, "Who are you?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡr98TsoS78u
The lady guardian emits a soft laugh and replies, "I am Rosa, I am here to help you find your parents. Would you like that?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsGsEiIHb4
The child nods, he puts out his arms and the guardian gently takes him.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmnGtUJcre
"See, I told you he would be fine with you, a normal looking person."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Um6FPyQdZ
"That may be so, Nightfall, but I am still a stranger, he could have screamed the place down."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡISXqwpkiqM
Nightfall emits a soft laugh and replies, "I'm glad he didn't."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCbAnhu1bU
Rosa gives him a pat on the arm and says, "See you again, old friend."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyd0m95IFC
Nightfall performs a slight bow and replies, "You too my dear."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HCsEHaLJy
The lady guardian waves her right hand, which makes a stone within her bracelet start to glow to form a portal in front of her that leads to the other realm.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYnGZuiHJw
Nightfall walks over to the man and asks, "Now what can we do for you to help you to move on?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnw8PBvW1u
The man just looks up at him with fear in his eyes and babbles, "I... I d-don't know... w-what y-you can do for m-me."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ610AXQ3gy1
"There must be a reason why you cannot rest."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9uWgCtEuN
"Hey ya right bro. What happened to ya?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdRvYFlTC1
"That's the thing, I don't know. One minute I was safe and warm in my bed, then this. The same thing happened to my sister. We died at the same time. From what? Is a mystery."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jUoyHLV1u
Guardian folds his arms and says, "Mystery, you say. I wonder if we will be able to solve it?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡGihUMt6Xyv
"Yeah, it may take some time, but we might be able to sole it, which in turn may help ya both to move on," says Gaylin, with a few nods.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡepUxnwdhlm
"There deaths do sound suspicious ."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk2lehAt6h
"Too right Nightfall... It is going to be interesting to see if we can find anything as their case is going to be pretty cold by now."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw9urXf4k3
"True, true old friend. All we can do is try," replies Guardian, giving the man a smile.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIcux4nIrF
The man performs a shallow bow and replies, "Thank you, all of you."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWeHfZk4Tn
Gaylin waves his hands and quickly says, "Ah don't thank us yet. For we might not be able to help ya. In any case, one thing, please can ya stop walking about and frighting the young lady who lives here."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNNNRlePa6

"We will pass that on to her," replies Guardian, giving him a pat on the arm.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VXKGGVbUX
Nightfall points his hand towards the man and says, "I wonder, if I can find some of your family members in the other realm? What is your full name?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQysB1c04B
The man seems to swallows hard and he replies with a nervous voice, "Edwin Blackworth."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe2nPVz1vS

"Uncle?" mutters the other lady, looking at him all confused.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ055TAlfW8t
"You're not English?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d8iNZomo7
The other lady gives her a slap on the arm and gasps, "Rebecca! You shouldn't say such things."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡewvz9N5KHP
Guardian smiles and says, "It's all right, as I cannot hide my accent. I'm Chinese... I was raised by a Korean Chinese Dragon named Límíng wù Shin."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqwxBHE2u3
The women just look at him all confused and one of them eventually asks, "Who was your father?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtO7wdXtQX
"My father was Delwyn Guardian, he was Ashliegh twin brother, who chose a mortal life."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWsuHWH9xM
"Why?" the same lady asks with a face full of curiosity.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqYCoTDf2W
Guardian shrugs his shoulders and replies, "No one knows. It even baffled his own father Sir Guardian.

Obviously, he could not keep me as I reviled his secret."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO0CeaYWQ3
Both women place a hand to their chests and one of them whispers, "How awful."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WMyMuv1B6
Darkness points a hand at them and says, "Wait a minute, if they are from Sir Spirit's time, then theses houses did not exist, this was just a field."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK4jJbR5QB
"Hey ya right uncle, that means they are from the other end of the village near Spirit Manor."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8281CSmYF
"Yes, that's right," says one of the ladies with a nod. "We found that house to be very strange, with those creatures on the windows."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm0NNcv3w5
"You mean the Griffins? Half lion half eagle?" Guardian asks watching them nod and he continues, "They are Sir Guardian's favourite mythical creature, even Raven Manor has them."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡqej6kqueQZ
"Raven Manor? Where's that?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj6t2YTps1
"Oh forgive me, I should have said the house on the hill? Of course in your time it was just the remains of an old castle. Sir Guardian brought the land and built Raven Manor sometime in the twelve hundreds for his growing family."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPR1QFUg6N
Rebecca smiles and says, "Oh so that's what he did with the ruins we found."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxJOl5Y9X8
"No way ya two found them?" Gaylin asks, looking at them all shocked.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡXexGJ8GrZO
The women nod and the same one replies, "Eliza and I often wondered what was up there, as all we could see pocking through the trees was a tower. So one day we decided to have an explore and discovered it must have been at one time a huge castle or fort, that was destroyed by a fire."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoykXcmKoj
All the gods look to one another and Darkness says, "Fire? Sir Guardian neglected to tell us that part. All he told us was the place was built on the ruins of an old castle, never said burt timbers."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡesHrQZsDiD
"It was defiantly a fire as there was as you said burt timbers and the walls were covered in thick black soot. Even the ground was covered in it... Ooh!" says Rebecca with a shiver and wraps her arms tightly around her body.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡl65X64WztI
Then Eliza gasps, "Oh yes the footprints. A child's footprints. We watch them appear right before our eyes on the east side of the ruins, they came right up to us, that's when we got that feeling we shouldn't be there, so we left and told Guardian and Ashliegh everything."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcB0NCCEMG
Gaylin shakes his head and says in a bold voice, "No frigging way, it just a child that is locked within the east wing... Wait, then that makes no sense why write incantations on the doors before bordering them up?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcKhki3NtB
This makes Guardian take a step back, he shakes his head and says, "Let's not go there. All I would like to know is, did he mention anything about the footprints?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgW9T3zEdA
Both women shake their heads and Rebecca replies, "He has got to have seen them and who they belonged to."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ZpX0WpCQ
"You're right of course. This just raises more questions, what are we dealing with?" Guardian mutters, as he folds his arms. "Anyway, that's a subject for another time. Tell me ladies why are you both unable to move on?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡam9V3XM4wh
The women look to each other and Eliza replies, "No, idea."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlpn2Af64L
"Can either of you recall what you both were doing before you passed over?" Darkness asks, watching them shake their head. "It's all right, not a lot of people can when they are pulled suddenly into the other realm... Sir Spirit might know?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvLlaZG4LE
Guardian's eyebrows rise as he says, "That's easer said than done."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqiptF3PrJ
"I know my host, but he is the only one who might be able to help us piece together what happened to these two young ladies."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0NHzdMRMS
"Why is it a problem? Has something happened to him?" Rebecca asks.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYb0UG1ozq
All gods nod and Gaylin replies, "He was killed by his son Soul in the battle to stop a terrible Vampire known only as Murakami."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsOsAVaZck
The women gasp all shocked by the news and Eliza says, "How awful. How could his own son do that him? He was such a kind man... However, I often found myself wondering what his wife saw in a man that never smiled or laughed."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAXrJjZ2dF
All the gods laugh and Guardian places his hands on either side of his face as he says, "Well no woman could resit this."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbq4RgH0wo
The ladies both start to laugh and Eliza replies, "That's true, as he was very handsome, but too serious looking for me."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡbspBivGCsj
"Ya not the first one to say that 'bout him, I often heard women say, he would look less stern if he smiled," says Gaylin with a hint of a laugh.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNodnlnUWx
Both women nod and Rebecca points her hand to the solid Soul Drinker as she says, "It does make you look a lot better, more approachable."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaEY3Noh8c
Guardian emits a small laugh and replies, "I'm glad to hear it. Now whilst we investigate into why you both are here, please reframe from whispering."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FfVVekqX5
Eliza gasps, she places a hand over her mouth and mutters, "The lady could hear us?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡottqZqoLRc
The gods all nod and Rebecca says, "She should have said something."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9tnK0jGEv
Guardian shakes his head and replies, "That's the problem with you mortals, you never like to admit you heard or saw something from the other realm. Only when things get too much you start to seek help from us, rather than standing up to the thing which is haunting your home."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u1YN0OMdv
Eliza emits a soft giggle and says, "Well that's because we do not like people to think we have gone insane. I mean, yelling at something only a god like yourself can see and hear."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyyFuhV5RT
"Ha, good point. All I am asking is, could you both keep a low profile?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61fGowHwga
Both women nod and Guardian continues, "Thank you. Right I think we had better check on Madeleine."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡy943etahd7
The women both bow before they head off down the corridor.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx55SLZP0o
The gods head back to the young lady to find her waking up and she asks in a sleepy voice, "Is it safe?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqFRaeFfdz
Guardian helps her to rise and replies, "Yes, perfectly safe. Hopefully things will be a little calmer now."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k4zVIK8Sv
"Thank you."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfJaO13bpN
Gaylin points a hand at her and says, "Ha, don't thank us yet, as we've got a few mysteries to solve."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfivd8ddYE
Madeleine looks at him all surprised and she asks, "Mysteries?"copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsUbbtHGzn
Guardian nods and replies, "Let's tell you over a nice hot cup of tea."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡShvQ8Pt6Lf
"All right," replies the young lady and they all head downstairs.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyJGEKm1LQ
The gods take it in turns to tell her everything which has happened and she too hopes Nightfall is able to the help Edwin and his sister, she also hopes Sir Spirit is able to tell them what happened to the two young ladies.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfLS79bxjg
Guardian gives her a business card and says, "Anymore problems, please do not hesitate to give us a call."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vjT2woUDU
Madeleine nods and replies, "Thank you. Let's hope I don't need to and I'll see you all in a month."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡldcXxGphcr
"Yeah see ya," replies Gaylin waving to her.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZWXWkfwK0
The young lady walks with to the front door, she opens it and performs a shallow bow as they all step outside.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡspf1qDxem7
"Take care," says Guardian, giving her a pat on the arm before he walks away along with the others.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQAiA4H3aZ
Madeleine shuts the front door, she has a wonder around her house and cannot believe how much the atmosphere has changed in the two hours the gods have been here, it seems a lot calmer. This just makes her wished she had called on them sooner.copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1TMPvzmQf
"I'm so silly thinking they would not help me," she mutters as he makes her way down to the living room. "I just hope they will find what they need to help the others to move on."copyright protection363ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo7l0OjbjN
