When Nadeline revealed that The Grim Reaper was the one that she, Wesley, and Grant had encountered in Eruyt Village yesterday, Jaakuna understood and now he was worried. When the mentioning of manipulator of shadows came to, Jaakuna thought back and he had no doubt that she was the one that was with Lola when they all went through that hellhole of a nightmare. Added to that, if she was with Michel, then that meant they were very, deep trouble.

Savayna too listened and she seemed to be a bit more calmer than Jaakuna was being. At least, that’s what she estimated from the deepness he seemed to be in thought. [b]“So, then I guess I have no choice.”[/b] Savayna said as she sighed. She really was hoping this night would end up good for them, but alas that’s not the case. Savayna would press her right breast and a slight glow of light blue would emanate from it and within five seconds, her semi-slutty outfit would be gone and her makeup as well. It would be seen that she was in her usual outfit of her white dress with armor and her Ice Queen Sword. [b]“I guess it’s a good thing that I always come prepared then, huh?”[/b] She said smirking.

Wesley would look as Savayna transformed into her usual battle gear. [b]“Well, that was mighty impressive.”[/b] Wesley said.

Savayna grinned. [b]“You all get the hell out of here. Go inform Roman. I’ll try my best to hold them off.”[/b] She said.

Jaakuna staggered to his feet. [b]“Like hell you are. I’ll go too.”[/b] He said.

Savayna looked at Jaakuna. [b]“Dumbass, you can barely stand. Just get the fuck out of here and I’ll see you on the flipside.”[/b] She said as she started to head out only to stop by Grant. [b]“Don’t worry, you’ll see me again and you’ll definitely like what I’ll do for you.”[/b] She said winking to Grant as she would head out the door.

Hearing Shion pretty much tell him that she can’t really stop him since he made up his mind, Francis smiled. She was so right on that. He was like her in that way. As she would continue, Francis would dig into the caviar that had just arrived, slapping some of it on a piece of bread that came with it and letting the salty, almost-creamy texture of it coat his throat. He chewed it and swallowed. Once he did, Shion would then say that she wasn’t going to make any promises that she couldn’t keep and then state that it wouldn’t be easy or where it will take him or her or even what it would do to him or where it would take him. Francis listened intently and took his glass and let the refreshing champagne wash down the salty caviar.

[b]“As a Judge, I have done some shady stuff. I’ve maimed people, bribed noblemen, plotted against high-power officials, sent innocent men to prison, let violent criminals go, and done just about everything that would otherwise make the normal man go mad.”[/b] He said taking a napkin and lightly pressing it against his lips and setting it down. [b]“I am a man of sin, Shion, so worry not about what I might or might not have to do or what it might or might not do to me. All that matters is that I’m there right with you.”[/b] He said smiling, pouring both her and himself some more champagne.

As his sneezing seemed to stop, Michel and Meli started to head up the stairs as she had his hand. Her shadows were guiding them up the stairs. As they did, he couldn’t help but notice the multiple amount of the shadow wolves attacking the people below, their screams being overtaken by the roars of the things attacking them. Michel smiled, but shook his head at the people as if pitying those getting killed.

Once they reached the second floor, Michel noticed a chill in the air. He knew exactly what it was. [b]“MELI LOOK OUT!”[/b] Michel yelled out, shoving Meli to the left as he was struck with a chilling wave of Magick that sent him flying to the ground floor. Before he was hit, however, Michel looked on and it was Savayna, whom in which would land in front of Meli. [b]“Damn, I was hoping that blast would take both of you. I guess Michel’s extrasensory skills are better than I thought.”[/b]
