The apparition gave a ghostly wail as it was momentarily halted by the ice, as Maria's blade struck it, it went straight through, but it wasn't quite enough. Thankfully for her, Nephele quick to react and struck the creatures blade causing it to shatter the brittle metal to shatter. Now however, its attention was completely focused on Maria, ignoring Nephele as she dashed up the stairs to check on Christine.

It was a ghost after all. Maybe nothing more than a nightmare from the mind of a frightened child. It wouldn't be killed so easily, but it seemed at least, on some level, weakened without its sword.

It growled, lunging for Maria with its hands. If she could land another solid blow on it, perhaps it would be done.

Nephele hurried up the stairs, the now decrepit looking manor a far cry from the place it once was. She easily reached Christines room without any sort of trouble, and once she was at the door it opened easily, and Christine was found pacing back and forth in the middle of the room, likely more than a little worried or otherwise emotionally unstable at the moment.
