With Xolys’s eldritch beams of unreality now joined by a fusillade of enchanted gunshot from Goodhope’s spectral crew, and a hail of weaponized raindrops courtesy of the Lady of the Lake, it was only a matter of time before their wraith-like foe succumbed to the massed barrage. Indeed, it would soon be readily apparent that several of the raindrop-spikes had embedded themselves in the glowing orb that passed for the creature’s heart. Emitting an ear-splitting shriek of pain, the Pageless’s attempts at evasion became all the more frantic, but it would do the creature no good, as it was hit once again, this time by several rounds of magical musket fire. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Oh my Goodness!”[/color] Olivia exclaimed as she plugged her ears to block out their foe’s deafening cry. [color=LightSkyBlue]“That is certainly some scream! Perhaps it is actually more of a banshee than a wraith…”[/color] she mused aloud, seemingly oblivious to the danger of their situation, or the creature’s attempts to frighten them. 

Unleashing yet another bloodcurdling screech, the increasingly desperate Pageless hurled itself upon Lumiere. However, the venerable Magical Girl seemed utterly unperturbed by this. There was a blinding flash, and once it had faded, it was revealed that the sliver-haired seraph had imprisoned the dark creature within a cage of luminous energy. The angelic girl then brought the caged Pageless before her four teammates, as though she was a fisherman showing off a prized catch, and asked them to pass judgement on it. 

Now that she got a close look at it, Olivia couldn’t help but feel that the poor creature actually looked rather pathetic, and so she found herself hesitant to make the decision she knew was expected of her. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Ummm, I, uh, suppose we should destroy it,”[/color] she began hesitantly. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Though it truly is a shame we can’t reason with them,”[/color] she added after a moment. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Y-You know, make them stop attacking people and perhaps even fight on [i]our[/i] side.”[/color]
