“And you ask weird questions, so we’re even.” Julene shrugged. The human would go on to start cleaning up the meal she had made for herself. The blacksmith at least still was remaining friendly and amicable, though she didn’t seem to still trust Akyasha much. Perhaps Julene was just too straight laced, too narrow minded to think about such things.

She was just about to start washing a bowl when Akyasha made her comment.

“Prepare for the worst?” She questioned, but she didn’t have to wait long for her answer. A deafening howl came from the forest. Every hair on Julene’s neck stood on end, a chill going down her spine as a chorus of more howls and shrieks followed.

“Gods blood…!” She’d  turn her head towards the direction of the forest. “That sounded like every damn beast…!” She’d drop what she was doing instantly, grabbing her blade from where it had lain and immediately bolted out the door, not bothering to give Akyasha a response or acknowledge what she had done beyond a simple nod.

Akyasha’s summons would soon be ready. The gorebat she had summoned over gleefully chittered, happy to fulfill its entire mission in life to be used as little more than fodder and sacrifice for its summons. As its body popped like an overfilled balloon, three more would burst from its corpse, clawing their way into reality, giving Akyasha three fresh Gorebats to play with.

Outside, she could already here a few people shouting. A cacophony of roars, and notably Julene’s voice shouting as she engaged one of the lanky batmen that had come from the forest.

And this would be the hellish scene Argus would find himself entering into the village to find. A horde of beasts, assaulting the decaying village. The people that had been living here were completely unprepared for a second attack, let alone one of such ferocity. Most beasts had already gotten inside several dwellings and residents.

It was chaos.

“Well, I was wondering who was meddling in our investment.” [url=https://i.imgur.com/ICyUz5W.jpg]The maid,[/url] clicked her tongue. “But it seems its a bunch of little powerless slugs that couldn’t even survive the end of the world without some help.” She’d laugh. “Oh well, its not worth speaking to you two. Zethek?”

The red thread suddenly snapped into a straight line, as if something or someone had pulled it taught. The two vampires could sense a third presence. 

Giselle’s blade would cut the thread, but it seemed as though it would not be so easy. Instantly several more would appear, but instead of being drawn to the maid, would now be coming from the ground, wrapping around the beastial vampire. In almost the same instance, two large, spectral hands would claw their way from the ground, several rings adorning their fingers all with a red thread connected to them.

One would move to swat Aleksiya out of the sky like a bug.

“Ta-ta lovelies. Try not to die before you can get answers out of me.” And with that, red thread would wrap itself around the maid, and in an instant she disappeared.

In all, there were at least five red threads coiled and tightened around Kordelia. The spectral hands manipulating her with them.
