The birds were chirping in the sky it was surprisingly peaceful given the events of last night was still lingering in Ezra's mind. He was so deep in thought that he didn't realise Akata had woken up and walked up to him
"Morning , what are you thinking about?" Akata asked him while doing multiple stretches
"I will be honest that creature from last night but how did you sleep" he looked at Akata
"Oh I slept fine I was actually about to wake up Evangeline the sooner we get to your friend the better" Akata said turning away to walking to where Evangeline was still asleep
"She doesn't quite like me does she" Ezra asked Akata wanting to understand the reason
"She just doesn't know you well, we didn't grow with other people around except our own family" kneeling down slightly shaking Evangeline to wake her up
"Oh I didn't know that I thought you just grew up in that village" sighing turning back around scoping the area again
"I didn't expect you to and we don't live in that village it was her first time actually being there and for me I often visited with our father" she was still trying to wake up Evangeline which as normal she didn't wake right away
"What? Where- oh morning " sitting up and yawning
"Morning sleepyhead you slept like a baby" Akata joked while her sister slightly shoved her
"Evangeline thank you for getting us out there and also thank you for getting closer to where my good friend is" He thanked her as the area they were in he recognised
"See I told you that you could've done it you should listen to me more often" she stood with her arms on her waist
"That's why i cook better" Evangeline whispered to herself
"Atleast I can follow directions properly" she told her sister as they went back and forth
"Woah okay I don't need you two fighting eachother" Ezra felt a chill down his spine when he saw that they were giving him a death stare
"Stay out of it!" They said at the same time still starting at him
"Okay okay I won't get in" he couldn't believe he was afraid of two girls who were arguing just seconds ago
"Great now what where you saying" Akata gave him a smile
"Uh right he isn't far from here so we could get there by evening" rubbing the back of his head
"Great but can we atleast eat first?" Akata asked as her stomach grumbled
Ezra nodded he was also hungry and he didn't sleep last night so he wanted to eat before they headed off. He sat down on the floor alongside Akata as she grabbed the food the had bought from the previous day and divided it between the three of them while Evangeline shared the water they bought among them even giving Ezra a bit more than herself and her sister.

They walked for awhile this area seems to be more peaceful than the one from last night it had more life. Soon a Manor came into view , it was huge it looked like someone of high power would live there. The trio walked up to the gate which opened on its own. They walked to the front door while Akata looked around the area amazed . The door was opened and stood in the doorway was a tall dark skin man, his hair was medium length and pitch black while his eyes were a deep shade of red with a scar on his right eye.
"You are late Ezra and I don't like it when people are late it's a waste of my precious time" The man glared at Ezra It was like he was lecturing the other man
"I know but we ran in to some trouble on the way here so I am sorry we are late" Ezra apologised to the man who was clearly older
"Who is we? Who did you bring here this time Ezra" at first he didn't realise the two girls standing behind Ezra but when he did he folded his arms waiting for an answer
"Oh right um I ran into them at the village and they ran into the same thing I did so I thought bringing them here maybe you can help them" he explained to his friend who didn't seem to please
"That doesn't answer my question as to who they are Ezra. Girl with the curly light brown hair and green eyes what is your name" he asked them
"Oh well hi my name is Akata Haruko and I am a fox shifter and that is my sister" she said with her normal cheerful voice
"I can clearly see you are a shifter and you girl with the reddish-blonde hair and purple eyes " he was still looking at the two of them he was intrigued by something
"My name is Evangeline Haruko and like Akata said we are sisters" Evangeline told being very vague
"Akata, Evangeline this is my very good friend Alister " Ezra finally told them who than man was
"Why were you even looking for my help Akata and Evangeline " Alister questioned the girls still looking them both from head to toe
"Well were on our way to Wisteria to stay with our older brother Sora but on our way to the village we saw a creature" Akata told Alister trying her best not to go into to much detail so she doesn't annoy him
"And Ezra told us you might know where it's from " Akata added to what she said before
"We saw it again on our way here , we just need to get to Wisteria to warn our brother before it's too late" Evangeline spoke up as she barley said anything since meeting Alister
"Come inside we can talk more there I don't typically have these conversations outside " Alister invited them inside and leading them to the the living area , he guided them to sit on one of the three sofas in that room
"I think the creature or monster what ever the hell it is was from the abyss and since you are the only person I know who ever went to the abyss you might know" Ezra explained to Alister who leaned back in an armchair
"Describe the monster and I see if i know anything about it" Alister shifted his gaze towards them
"It had scales all over it and it's eyes were glowing white, it even had bones sticking out everywhere and it was huge " Evangeline described some of it to him
"But when we first saw it it was by a pond and not only was it smaller but it eyes were black it didn't seem to be moving"
Akata told him about the first time they ever saw the thing
"It's claws now that I remember was just this black sharp things from the first one but the second one it's claws looked like it was just shadows" Evangeline told Alister when Alister looked like he knew something about it
"What happened when you tried to fight it " he asked them three of them this time looking at them
"I cut parts of the creature of but it's regeneration was quicker , the more it slice off the faster it grows back" Ezra answered and Alister had an answer for them
"That creature you described isn't from the abyss " Alister told them closing his eyes
"That thing was summoned and created by someone" he explained more to the three of them
"And how do we will kill it what even is it" Ezra was concerned when he asked Alister the question fearing he wouldn't actually like the answer
"You can't kill it directly you have to kill who summoned it and the type of magic used my guess is either forgotten magic or dark magic " he explained further on the topic with his own opinions in mind
"As for what it is I am still unsure but that person is a fool and doesn't realise what they hell they unleashed and we can only hope it doesn't get worse " Alister couldn't say that without his opinion in my mind and fully thinks this person has no idea what they are doing
"What are we going to do how are we sure it hasn't reached Wisteria yet " Evangeline worried about the the pickle they were in
"We have to stay positive Eve we got to atleast try " Akata was reassuring as normal
"As for you two I will allow you to stay but I have one rule which should never be broken my study and bedroom are off limits" Alister warned them before walking off
"Ezra show them around the house will start moving tomorrow I should not be disturbed" He turned to say that before disappearing up the stairs
"He seems terrifying" Evangeline let a breath like she wasn't breathing through out the whole conversation with Alister
"Trust me he isn't always like that he just has a hard time with people" Ezra told them Alister was like that ever since he met him but he was a very good friend to him
"I didn't mind that all of us are like that around new people" Akata added to him they were strangers who just walked unto his home she thought
"What did he mean by the house will start to manor does it do that on it's own like is the manor a ancient spirit?" Curious on what he meant Evangeline asked Ezra hoping he knew
"I guess so I have seen spirits before but not one strong enough to carry the Manor " He never seen the one responsible for moving the Manor
"Let's not think about it can you still show us around or atleast to our room" Akata didn't really want to question anything concerning the Manor.

"I didn't even have to look for you anymore when you just wandered into my grasp" A voice said nothing could be seen except their grin
"You don't even know the fate in your hands" they started to laugh like crazy the room being engulfed in darkness
