Zora didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement and going along with her "Master's" agreement.
English
-
"[u]why didn't I think of that....[/u]" Ted said seeming somewhat disappointed in himself. "Well it was rarely used so not many would know too much about it. For now stay safe until we get back. It would be tragic to have to bring back a body to the church" The priest nodded in agreement and sat down on one of the crude beds around the servant quarter muttering a few prayers. "Well miss, I believe it's time to look for this spear of ours" He beckoned Zora, as he went towards a door leading deeper into the castle.
-
"Following you, sir." Zora Said, following after Gerald
-
As soon as Gerald closed the door he dropped the act seeming disappointed. "Hmph, when a hero is needed we get an old codger. Still, he did say he spent days in here so he might be useful if we ever get lost and I doubt someone of his age survived with just the clothes on his back."
-
"If he was useless, I would have killed him right there." Zora said coldly, looking around the place they had entered
-
"Hmm, maybe later" He didn't seem to pay much mind to her tone, seeming casual about an act of violence against the old priest. "But for now, let's see if the old spear is where is supposed to be." Gerald continued down the old hall passing a few gargoyle statues handing up above. Some seemed to turn their head watching as they passed. For some reason Gerald didn't seem interested in attacking them.
-
"Are we just going to skip past all the potential enemies that are here?" She asked, looking up as she continued walking
-
"Strange isn't it? They never seem to bother anyone but when they crystals and gem stones they go crazy. I'd bet their stomachs are worth a fortune with the amount of jewelry they must have swallowed" Gerald stopped short of a few book shelves holding his arm out the gesture to go no farther. "Now as for the books, well, that's a whole other story. A few here and there are cursed. Nasty pieces of work that grew teeth and attack whatever walks across them. I'm sure I have a scar or two from being too careless the first few times around"
-
"Are you trying to tell me that you've been within the walls of this castle before this?" Zora asked, looking at the back of his head "You sure seem to know alot about it is all."
-
"Well I would be lieing if I said I didn't know the place. In one timeline of be calling this place home sweet home. Though, there are a few differences" He looked over a few of the books before quickly snatching at one. The book began snarling and trying to open its mouth in his hand. "For example, these things were somewhere different and there weren't as many monsters roaming about the halls."
-
I'd expect not if it Is supposed to be, home sweet home." Zora commented, looking at the book
-
"The layout is the same but the furnishing..." He then pulled out a small pocket knife and started digging it through the book as it squealed in pain before eventually reverting back into an ordinary state. "Why would I want a book that tries to eat you while you read it?" He tossed it over to the side and looked to see if any of the other books were moving. The stillness was neither comforting or truly promising. "Two ways around and a good chance we will be dealing with more graphic novels. This should be interesting"
-
"Why don't we just climb to the shelves to the top, then scoot along?" Zora said, looking towards the top of the bookcases
-
"Hmm... not a bad idea honestly" He took a look at the top and walked over to the side of one. He lifted himself up and put his hand out. "I'd still watch the top shelf, these things can be tricky sometimes"
-
"Hmmrph." Zora grunted, grabbing his hand and pulling herself upwards, placing one foot against a shelf and the jumping upwards. She grabbed up onto a shelf, about several above where Gerald was and looked down. "Try to keep up." She laughed, beginning the ascent upwards towards the top
-
Gerald held true to his nickname 'The White Rabbit' climbing rather quickly. A few book began snarling and springing out oh the both of them. The pistol became unholstered and a few shots rang out into a few air bound books.
-
Zora swung towards the little beast books with her sword, stopping her climbing for a moment
-
"Lets make things more interesting" Gerald materialized a match and lit it, dropping it on some torn pages. He started making his way to the top while the fire started to grow causing fake books at the bottom shelves to run around frantically.
-
"Evil..." Zora laughed, a bit maniacally, as she clambered onto the top of the shelves
-
Gerald sat on the top watching his handiwork burn as the books spread the flames. "Well I think that the kids would Say this is 'lit as f_ck' " He said with a grin on his face over his joke. The fire started spreading and smoke was beginning to rise. "As fun as it would be to just watch the books run around in a panic, we should probably move on before we become part of the bonfire"
-
"Excellent idea..." Zora said, beginning to SCOOT along the top of the shelves
-
Gerald crawled along behind without any complaints. Making his way to the end of the shelves and hopping off. He opened one door and quickly slammed it shut before opening up another one and walking in. Painted glass windows let some light into the room in which a large frozen man stood staring at them. The chapel behind him was frozen solid. It remained there with its frozen sword which it then lifted and pointed. He ran his cold glove of a hand across his neck threateningly with what looked like the staff of the spear mounted to the wall behind him. "Well I'd doubt I could convince him to just hand over the shaft. I guess we get to kill him" The large man stayed where he was waiting for someone to come forth to challange him.
-
"Hello?!" Zora said, staying towards the back of the room
-
The figure simply stood there. Waiting.
-
"Great... Boss fight..." Zora looked back at Gerald to insure he was prepared
-
"A boss fight? Have you been playing too many video games?" He joked as he activated his sword and drew his gun. The monstrosity looked at them and noticed the weaponry drawn and began the march over with his sword at the ready. "But I guess it's fitting enough"
