Her first cut sliced through half of the arm. It limply continued to grasp at her but she could easily get out of its reach now.
English
-
Lyn did so, attempting to cut the rest of the arm off as she stepped back and away from the arm. "Damn, jumpscares!"
-
She lopped the arm off completely and it shattered as it hit the ground. A cry came out from the wall and the sound of footsteps scurried away.
-
"You better run!" She sighed and rolled her eyes before continuing on her way.
-
As she turned to look down the hallway, however, something illuminated the path ahead of her. It seemed to be an orb of some sort, covered in a heavy fog that gravitated towards it. It began to move ahead, and took a left turn.
-
"Spooky..." Lyn began to jog down the hall, following the orb and trying not to lose it in hope of finding something.
-
As she followed it, she then heard voices behind her. People called out for her name, at least that's what she thought. [spoiler]>Investigate the light >Investigate the noise[/spoiler]
-
"Huh?" She turned towards the noises, but then turned back to the light and kept following. "Nah, this is more interesting." [spoiler]Light.[/spoiler]
-
The orb led her down the halls, and she began to descend a staircase. As she walked down, she saw that she was no longer surrounded by such closed in walls as the light from the orb was no longer contained.
-
"Weird...ECHO!" She suddenly sceamed, hoping to hear an echo.
-
And that she did. Her voice echoed through the room the orb lit up. Suddenly it floated up to the ceiling, and it split apart. It seemed to ignite candles, which were stuck on a large overhanging set piece. The candles were alight with the white light which revealed Lyn the room she stood in. There were stairs that moved around the large room in a circular fashion(so they would all lead down to the place Lyn stood). The ground Lyn stood on, large and circular, had four massive coffins which were placed in symmetric with Oke another.
-
Lyn observed the coffins, walking up to them and lightly running a hand across one. "Okay then...strange tomb it is." She turned her attention back to the staircase, wondering where it went and if anything heard her yell.
-
The stair case around the room lead to the other three entrances she could not have come out of. Then, she noticed something about the coffins. Each one was inscribed with words. Likely those who were held in them. But the thing was, they were also all Opened. And each of the stone covers had the same patterns and carvings as the other. The first inscription caught her eye. [i]"Here lies Faolin Coldbourne. The unbridled rage of the Coldbourne family."[/i]
-
"More like *sshole of the family." Lyn looked at each inscription and checked each coffin for anything inside.
-
[i]"Lilly Coldbourne: Winters warmth." "Cain Coldbourne: The spearhead of the Deity." "Diana Coldbourne: The manipulator, the viper, the eldest sister." [/i] There was not a corpse in any of the coffins, however.

-
[i]"That's one of the first questions I asked myself when I ended up here."[/i] a voice suddenly said. It seemed to come from the room and it was the sound of a man's. [i]"Then I realized...there was no leaving a place you are cursed to."[/i] As Lyn turned to the source of the noise, she saw a ghostly figure standing between the coffins. He was tall, and had features that were awfully familiar to her. It wasn't Henry that much was certain. And this man did not sound like a friend of hers either. As she identified him, she realized this figure looked identical to that of... Felix Coldbourne.

"If you'd just sit down here and suffer forever that would be appreciated though. I hate you guys. Mostly your brother to be honest, but as a whole you guys suck."
-
"Well, guilty as charged considering I was enough of a fu[i]c[/i]k up to be manipulated by a cult of vampires." Felix told the girl. "The insult to injury is that they possessed my body for this whole sadistic scheme of theirs."
-
Lyn sighed and mumbled to herself. "I didn't check for that sort of thing....Hey!" Lyn stopped and turned around. "What can you tell me about this vampire thing and how can I trust you?"
-
"Well you can't really." Felix told her blatantly. "In fact if you were smart you wouldn't listen to me at all. But unfortunately for you it's your only option. So I will educate you." The spectre began to pace as he started his story. "See, when Alex killed father eight thousand years ago, he took the throne as well. The throne that was rightfully mine. He forced us, at least some of us, to follow him without question. He took the throne away from me. So, being the cocky young adult that I was, I tried to find a way to match the power of the fierce deity he had found. Are you following?"
-
"I'm not an idiot. Yes, I get it now keep going. My blades can harm spirits, so I advise against making me impatient."
-
"Hmph. Good to know." Felix commented before he continued. "So, I left the Ko rudo region and found myself in a coven of vampires. These vampires taught me valuable magic, such as how to heal by taking the power from another's soul, unlocking the potential of a soul as well as using the same power to revive those who had already died. What I didn't realize is that these vampires had another agenda. Their leader killed me, eight thousand years ago, and took the form of my body for all this time. I suppose he thought he could use my appearance to trick the family so he could usurp Tywin."
-
"Interesting. Keep going." Lyn sat down on a step, resting for a moment.
-
"There is not much more to say, besides the fact that the Felix you may have seen was not me. I have been dead a very long time. It was the vampire who resurrected my family so he could take down alex and conquer Tatakai. But...he had no idea what extent my father had gone to in increasing his own magic ability. No one will stand a chance against him..."
-
"Nah, they'll kill him. If I was there and knew he was possessed I could've probably pulled it out of him though....If you know a quick way out maybe I won't be too late to stop your father."
