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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D41TbDDwS
The baker points his hand over to the left hand side of the shop and says, “Aunty.”copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJsZ64zD78
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5kRvb5Gjq
“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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn3ppXA2B7
“Expert,” giggles the young man. “That title belongs to my dear mother.”copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡViQnhXrQBy
Dave bows his head in respect and asks, “What do you think it could be?”copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkEjb9vgPP
Gaylin shrugs his shoulders and replies, “I’m not sure. May I come back with you?”copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡHadLzCIaFk
Madeleine sees the baker is nodding and he says, “Trust me he can help you.”copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAC8XT5oJH
The young lady nods, she picks up the loaf of bread and walks out of the shop along with the god.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI1B2cLxtA
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbLAWlcFvS
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMsBVpv1Of
"Yes, the living room, as things seem to get moved around more in there," replies the young lady, leading him down the corridor.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMXJnZW8xq
The Dreamer enters the room, he has a look around and emits a soft, "Hmm?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUBvuyQHdl
"Let me guess, nothing?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd81P3rk4g
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM2xwpxsy4
Madeleine looks at him all confused and mutters, "Huh? I don't understand."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiYvNt3Dah
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJu8LjbcEg
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡse3uMAUj3t
"Please my dear, coffee black with two sugars."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWLmryPuc0
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbJgjuAvHf
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'."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84m8esGaAz
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."111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFsD4SVmTl
"I see. Has anything tried to touch ya or grab ya?"111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb6cAKtdUy
“No, nothing like that... but I have heard whispering in the corridor and on the landing.”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73CucRWT1x
This makes the Dreamer’s eyebrows rise and he mutters, “Intreating.”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMcUqhNmEG
“I'm guessing it is more than one ghost.”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzRPLszeFu
“It is soundin' that way. I'll take a look around.”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNxqhKheDj
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?”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL65Y1wgOSU
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.”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAtmpfOZuu
The ghost is quite surprised by the man talking to him it courses him to disappear.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthh1IzLZNp
“Oops, I startled him... hmm? That one down, let's carry on.”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizwoxxVOlN

“Can you recall what time of day ya hear it?”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuheMiWl4W9
Madeleine has a think and replies, “It was in the evening and again in the morning.”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufJ0Ehxz5T
“Ah that somethin' to come back to... Anything else?”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOJL0VzsWm
The young lady nods and leads the god in to the dining room just as they hear a door slam somewhere upstairs.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprDEdWBz0x
“That's what I mean. It never seems to be in the same place. It seems to move all around the house.”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuMsvqJ20P
“Interestin' a ghost that likes slammin' doors. Oh hello,” says Gaylin, waving his left hand.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnDF8DBH6x
Madeleine grows concerned and asks, “What are you seeing?”111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wZHbcDMME
“A young woman about your age, dressed in eighteenth century clothing,” replies the Dreamer, waving the same hand.111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv97YEyHHy

“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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡMatPFfpzys
Madeleine looks at him a little confused and says, "Wait, I thought you talk to them?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WpOjQm9lz
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97KTo4nYz5
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlfHbUWBuv
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wstlMjIVF
"I am brother, if that's all right?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5M1Yb5m9F
"Why wouldn't it be? I'm on my way."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn0G5bB1N5
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQC0kXMDFI
Twenty minutes later a loud knock comes at the front door and the Dreamer says, "Ah here they are."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWO5YMg49q
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBOKiTWTVJ
"Bro, allow me to introduce ya to Madeleine."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsABsUyfxe
Guardian steps into the hallway and says in a soft voice, "Afternoon, my dear."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQbMW9zcdJ
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXkrHCkDvg
"We've lost her now my host," comes a deep voice.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuIX5bRErp
"It would appear so old friend."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpg3ccdMpq
Gaylin gives him a pat on the arm and says, "Ya should have stayed silent bro."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2oPu5rPJX
They emit soft giggles and Darkness goes on to ask, "So what are we dealing with?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56rO3xZVbr
The Dreamer goes on to tell them everything which has happened so far.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4QB73NkPc
"I agree, there are more than two ghosts in this house... Have you found the heart?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkfa9KgBAZ
"Not yet, but I bet ya three can find it."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF6Ztaxt5I
"I like his optimism," says Hisashi as he looks around.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqML2UOPfD
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Yib82rJC
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhixhMIOgO
"Back with us I see," comes a deep man's voice.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaekWheK6u
The young lady blushes, she bows her head and replies, "I'm sorry."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9vmrHvu8e
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Awq7OcPCs
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaDTuzaJkg
"Deep breath's my host," comes that same deep voice.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIpJ5RqAmz
"Who is that?" the young lady asks, looking around.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt9lTh967M
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLXbEsLPb5
A soft laugh emirates out from Guardian's chest, then the same voice, "That's one way to put it, I guess."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pOv9TnAuJ
"Sorry uncle."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡakdjG6BPdJ
"No, it's all right as I completely understand."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLvzXa2JZd
Madeleine would like to ask more questions, but she decides not to as she feels she would be invading their privacy.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5DCBMwYm1
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwlUQ11sRe
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu0H4YS6HR
"Hey, I've found it," he calls.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwWX9xJFw6
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeD38u4aWW
The young lady's eyes open wide and she ask, "Why?" copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8qqQvoIB6
Gaylin shakes his head and sings, "Ya gettin' her all worried."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVCxSM5CsB
The Soul Drinker places a hand over his mouth and emits a soft, "Oops."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9PmcYQh8M
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyVEYL9nuL
Madeleine starts to relax, she nods and replies, "All right I will remain here. But first let me get a blanket."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4G7BzTHbl
"I'll go with ya," says Gaylin and follows her out of the room.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUu7gH66Yf
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcNORMA195
The child let's out a whine and says, "No! No! No!"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD9sLL2Esd
Guardian strokes the child's head and says, "Aren't you sweet. How old are you?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK7uSobZua
"I'm three," replies the child, holding up three fingers.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡeom2deONfY
"Aww bless. So you're the one who has been slamming the doors, ay?" Darkness asks, whilst giving the child a tickle.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2C2vnOx1g
Guardian shakes his head and says when it releases a small squeal, "Careful old friend."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡK11SvUgGTL
"Don't worry my host, I'm not hurting him. He is just showing his displeasure of me tickling him, aren't you?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8aeansZbI
The child laughs when the man tickles his tummy again.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4KA6fYVM0
"I see. Where are your mummy and daddy?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx1dpx8Gd2
The little boy shrugs his shoulders and replies, "I cannot find them."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5aCjlZLlb
Then Celestial sees the young man on the landing who is dressed in eighteenth century clothing, "Is this your brother?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡujfeUmtShg
The man shakes his head and replies, "No. Nor is he a family member."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtNUHcrPTF
"The poor thing," says Gaylin, walking over to them. "I wonder where his parents could be?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlK3X4oXQK
"I was wondering that myself."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k3oyYK2R1
"Nightfall," replies the Dreamer watching his guardian come stepping through a portal.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKv5Eci62b
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUwwXuAmsq
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ALaZk8Jm0
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFKgLot3vv
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgqMNngoJJ
"Will you be able to help him?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQkA1jUa2h
"I think so, that's if he is willing to come with me?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNWU4HjxLO
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ305tMSR3gB
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6s6GtpBDs
The child nods, he puts out his arms and the guardian gently takes him.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNgPHkx1Si

Nightfall performs a slight bow and replies, "You too my dear."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVvIgyz401
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVmL6wIBeG
Nightfall walks over to the man and asks, "Now what can we do for you to help you to move on?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeukzc4ZH6
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg15ZiEymE
"There must be a reason why you cannot rest."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡASAWDGsmiH
"Hey ya right bro. What happened to ya?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iWxCvJGuq

"True, true old friend. All we can do is try," replies Guardian, giving the man a smile.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz1zsYwQEa
The man performs a shallow bow and replies, "Thank you, all of you."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLBHzRO4fK
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡP78qlANAMq

"We will pass that on to her," replies Guardian, giving him a pat on the arm.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2CUJcLxh1
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡh78qxu0k4N

"Why?" the same lady asks with a face full of curiosity.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMy3WvtNYF
Guardian shrugs his shoulders and replies, "No one knows. It even baffled his own father Sir Guardian.

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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqNdtJJWwH
"Hey ya right uncle, that means they are from the other end of the village near Spirit Manor."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmZM58EJOG
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZOrvyevRR
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxhiKL1tIx
"Raven Manor? Where's that?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkUa6ZiLJ7
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc6gDCOS7G

"No way ya two found them?" Gaylin asks, looking at them all shocked.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDQoOXo7J7

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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡebklrYXfQ4
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAG9CB7pyz

Then Eliza gasps, "Oh yes the footprints. A child's footprints.

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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FCmr3nbSv
Both women shake their heads and Rebecca replies, "He has got to have seen them and who they belonged to."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQSi8AoofK
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY2douwq3g
The women look to each other and Eliza replies, "No, idea."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cVCznFWzy
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdplwxVUWa
Guardian's eyebrows rise as he says, "That's easer said than done."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs9HFxbcYf
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYspA1MgXl
"Why is it a problem? Has something happened to him?" Rebecca asks.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqzeL5MH0I
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFb1mQzy3x
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwwfV7hInf
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cFDqrIc9I
The ladies both start to laugh and Eliza replies, "That's true, as he was very handsome, but too serious looking for me."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1n63KXDi1
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6yHmtODcc
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgoyTP0C29
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYbI5fs2SL
Eliza gasps, she places a hand over her mouth and mutters, "The lady could hear us?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43RCKe6zRi
The gods all nod and Rebecca says, "She should have said something."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKyais0j42
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡso1E76TA9L
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡldOdPzrW9j
"Ha, good point. All I am asking is, could you both keep a low profile?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU3N4mf5Fj
Both women nod and Guardian continues, "Thank you. Right I think we had better check on Madeleine."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87I9MPgFpp
The women both bow before they head off down the corridor.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLDfYtPqpY
The gods head back to the young lady to find her waking up and she asks in a sleepy voice, "Is it safe?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDSNqX9G3O
Guardian helps her to rise and replies, "Yes, perfectly safe. Hopefully things will be a little calmer now."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbWHkIxAoW
"Thank you."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OID4H6T7w
Gaylin points a hand at her and says, "Ha, don't thank us yet, as we've got a few mysteries to solve."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR9KFAIOgL
Madeleine looks at him all surprised and she asks, "Mysteries?"copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgWAYhjvRH
Guardian nods and replies, "Let's tell you over a nice hot cup of tea."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSwavASCtZ
"All right," replies the young lady and they all head downstairs.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lRi5xTOma
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZqvApNUUF
Guardian gives her a business card and says, "Anymore problems, please do not hesitate to give us a call."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnx8x3IpGc
Madeleine nods and replies, "Thank you. Let's hope I don't need to and I'll see you all in a month."copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPxh8DO1sa
"Yeah see ya," replies Gaylin waving to her.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1aDxL2kFW
The young lady walks with to the front door, she opens it and performs a shallow bow as they all step outside.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhkxpRA8hh
"Take care," says Guardian, giving her a pat on the arm before he walks away along with the others.copyright protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH6SZewOgY
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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs0a5xV8SB
"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 protection107ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SSpqih1qz
