"If he was useless, I would have killed him right there." Zora said coldly, looking around the place they had entered
English

"[i]I could care less about the others you named! Humanity is who failed to protect my wife, tricked me into killing my own son, and b_st_rdized my very existence![/i]" It was clear from the mix of rage and sorrow in his eyes he only truly felt pure, unrefined hatred for mankind. If there was even a hint of joy in his heart it was the remains of a ever smoldering joy at the thought of absolute destruction of an entire species. "Your spouting exposition at the wrong crowd you know" Gerald touted in a clearly smart_ssed manner.
-
"Yeah, are we supposed to care about your family? This gonna be some kind of thing where we beat you, and give you mercy cause of your sob story? Nah." Zora stopped, slamming the tip of her blade into the ground. "Your time is up." The man, or Skeleton, or whatever he was, found himself suddenly rotting. His bones became a sickening green, and cracks ran along his body The cracks connected between each other, and the bones began falling away, turning to dust as the figure disappeared. His robes clattered to the ground, with the spear wrapped up inside of them and Zora fell to her knees, exhausted [spoiler]If you don't get it, Zora literally took every moment he had left and took it from him, all the way up to the point where a Skelton turns to dust due to decay and such [/spoiler]

"[i]hmph[/i]" The Lord of darkness stood up as a blood red whip formed in his hand. He lashed out as Gerald caught the whip on his sword and brought the shaft of the spear back in time next to the pile of dust. He took a shot at Dracula's head but the wounds seemed to heal almost instantly. "Please, it's hardly fair if you just heal from everything I hit you with." He pulled a chalice out of the air and splashed water on the monsters face which caused him to flinch. It was soon he realized it was only a trick. Gerald was toying with him only pretending to have holy water.
-
"GREAT TRICK!" Zora jumped to her feet, and actually tackled into Dracula taking both to the ground
-
The vampire lords arms burst into flames as he tried to break loose yet as he tried, Gerald stood there, the spear reassembled hovering over his head. "Ladies first?" He said before pausing time and letting the spear float overhead. "Sorry, I just felt like he would make us listen to another one of his dreadful tails before we killed him"
-
"Oh." Zara got to feet awkwardly and walked towards Gerald, standing besides him "You can go ahead and do it."
-
"Hmm..." He started positioning it over his heart then quickly put it over his mouth. "Just in case" He joked before resuming time. The spear dropped and left him twitching before finally becoming still. "I get that his family died but what a drama queen." Gerald looked inside the coffin for any trinkets and saw a sword with frost coating it and a pair of burning gauntlets.
-
"Dibs on the sword!" Zora said, looking in with Gerald
-
"Ah the Void sword. An interesting peice of work. It slightly heals the one who uses it as they swing at their opponent." He then picked it up and looked for a lit candle, the swung it and a wave of cold came off the blade, freezing the wick. "And then there's the fact it can freeze things" Gerald then passed the sword over and began trying on the gauntlets.
-
"Why is called the Void sword? Should be called the Frozen Blade. Oh. Catchy. I'm changing the name." Zora said with a chuckle as she took the blade from her hands
-
"As for the chaos claws, their a bit more straight forward. Heats up what it hits and shoots fireballs. Great for making people drop their shield" He then takes aim at the same candle and launches at it again, this time melting the candle, wax and all. [spoiler]Probably Should Have Found Pictures earlier but tada lol[/spoiler]
-
"Sweet..." Zora said, the Frozen Blade disappeared as she laughed a little, clearly pleased
-
"Hmm, keep the castle or tear it down, that is the question" He muttered thinking aloud to himself. The put away the claws and pulled his jacket back out of time to button it up while he thought.
-
"I say keep It. There's still alot to discover, and new enemies to face."
-
"Well it could be fun watching all the crazies running through this death pit in hopes for loot. Maybe host a competition"
-
"Boom. Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe throw in a few prisoners we got in our jails to spice things up."
-
"I'll have to contact the local jailer to see if he's willing to give up a few death row inmates. After that, simply invite people to "challenge" themselves and once all is said and done, we still own a pristine Transylvanian castle. Definitely a win, win." Gerald walked out to a window and looked over the town able to see every light in the city from out in the distance. "I'll arrange things, maybe pull a few strings, but if you beat me to it, I'll definitely have to watch and see how it turns out." [spoiler]End? Might make a sequel for it but if you want to feel free.[/spoiler]
