Grace was standing in front of me laughing at something I couldn't see yet
Hey George come up here quick I've found it
I rushed up to meet my sister at the top
Where is it
She points down below but I don't see anything in the direction she points to
Where I don't see it
What do you mean you don't see it it's right there plus it's the blackest thing in this whole damn desert
If it really is then why don't I see it. You sure it's not just a mirage
In truth I can't see what she's pointing at but I can feel the presence of something ominous
I'm not hallucinating it's definitely there
But...
She's already started running in the direction and I have no choice but to follow her
Bang the door flies open and the guests pour in although the party just started the place was already full of life
Magnus couldn't handle it but he pretended just fine.
"Claudia! hey!... hello I didn't think I'd be alive to see the day you entered a party much less this one" in truth Magnus meant it he'd lived for a really long time and he knew he was going to live a bit longer still but he didn't expect this. That goes to show you the reputation Claudia had. She was a sweet woman really, pleasant to be around but not the type of person you'd take on a date. It wasn't that she wasn't pretty enough, she was by far a competitor for most beautiful, but it's that she was always fantasysing and getting lost in her ideas and it made it hard for you to have a steady conversation with her
". Hi Maggie!" She never called anyone by their actual name " yes I'm sure everyone's surprised but I'm just as surprised myself seeing that the council's protector invited me here. Especially cause I haven't been asked on a proper date since I was a girl"
"Well I should really applaud myself then"
"For what? Being courageous enough to ask me out? "
" No for being the one to bring you out of hiding. I mean you've been there since and you never come out "
" Ooh so gods forbid I deprived the world of my beautiful face "
"Exactly my point " they both chuckle
"Helen! " And old raspy voice calls from a distance. It's old gray the head of the council, he's in the council chamber on his wheelchair coughing as if he intended on getting rid of a large stone from his throat. The lady he has called for appears she didn't come in from any of the six doors in the room but through the one window. Facing him she bows "I'm at your disposal" she says from behind the vail that covers her face. "Fetch me Magnus. Don't bother telling him who or why though. I wouldn't want to sour his mood "
The lady leaves as fast as she had come
Grey goes back to the book in his laps and chuckles
Grace! I don't think you should just be walking randomly into people's prison cells like that. I mean what if he isn't chained or the chains are now broken
I'll be fine. Besides he can't be free in here if he was he would have left on his own and we wouldn't be here freeing him
I don't like this
Since when have you ever liked something
Grace skips in and i follow while mumbling all the things that could go wrong here
Hello! Is anyone in here? I was told there was someone in here!
What are you doing grace ? You just gave away our only weapon, I ask furiously
Nah, I think the axe is still in the bag
Your axe won't be off much use if I was free
Says a voice from within the tomb. I can't tell what is creepier the fact that he can hear grace and sounds so close or the fact that his voice is amazing.
Ooh good you can hear us. Now can you please direct us to where you are I mean I don't want to be here all day
You don't seem to show an ounce of fear
Why should I
It's not like you can do anything until your free
You have a point
Your in luck though cause I'm here to free you
Hmm move to your right. A little bit more. Yh now go straight down till you see a puddle on the ground above it is where I am
Good boy see not so hard at all
Grace walks in the direction and eventually gets to where he is
George hand me the axe
I grumble but still give it to her
Hey urm not to be rude but who are you talking to
Ooh I forgot to introduce you. This. She points in my direction, is my brother
Yh but there's nobody there
Ooh I also forgot to tell you. He's dead
Clang clang clang
"Dead? " He asked skeptically.
Grace was already smashing away at the rocks that the chains are bound to
"Yh dead he's a ghost"
" Mmhm so... I don't get it"
" Urgh fine. I'm going to spend a while getting you free so I might as well"
"Might as well what?"
" Explain it to you or better still tell you the story of what happened to George"
"Wait who's George?"
"He's my brother you dimwit !! Don't ever interrupt my close curtain again"
