Dreadlight Manor

Yep! There’s also probably a room where those who are about to be turned are locked in while the room right next to is where the individual is actually turned.

Dreadlight Manor

It definitely is although the living/trapped entities will slowly be turned into dolls by WHATEVER lurks within the mansion as well.

Vaan had ended up quickly turning around once he heard the sound of the door slam shut and as a result, had also ended up creating a small fireball in the palm of his hand. He was unsure if he would end up having to face anything that could be in the room however, he also ended up dismissing the fireball after a few moments. From what he could see, there wasn’t necessarily anything that stood out as being particularly dangerous and as a result, ended up remaining completely silent as he tried to find out what had caused the source of the other sound that he heard.

Meanwhile, Tidus seemed to be slightly confused about where he was being taken to. While he still dared not to move, he also still chose to remain completely silent as well although he seemed to be silently wondering about if he would possibly see Vaan again or not.

The Citadel

“We are much more than creatures of thunder and fire. There are many different subspecies of us where I’m from with the most powerful being those that can use magic. To that extent, you shall face the consequences of your actions for trying to drown my friend.” Vaan said before he ended up creating several shard of ice and sent them all flying towards Emerie. Judging by his tone of voice, he was no longer in a cheerful or even neutral mood when he spoke as also indicated by his actions. Rather, he seemed to be rather infuriated by the attempt made on Bartz’s life and as a result, had resorted to using magic for the sole purpose of both warding off his foe and also keeping Bartz safe from any further harm.

“However, to harm those who have befriended as a dragon can easily be seen as an act of hostility to the dragon itself. As a result, you have not only harmed my friend but you have also declared an act of hostility towards me and that WILL NOT go by without consequences!” He growled softly.

“So they tend to prefer a place filled with wildlife… is that the reason why you have possibly brought tropical birds in here?” Vaan said before he ended up slowly approaching the edge of the shoreline. While he seemed to be contemplating about whether or not to enter the water, he also seemed to be a little hesitant about it as well hence the reason why he seemed to stay along the shoreline for the time being.

The Citadel

“Well, if you attempt to harm us, there is no reason why I shouldn’t be able to defend both myself and Bartz. As any creature knows, you never mess with a dragon unless you’re ready to face the consequences.” Vaan said before he unfolded the wings on his back. While there was now a cold look in his eyes, his pupils had also turned into mere slits instead of the normal circular shape found in the eyes of other humanoids. He also ended up slowly raising his hand and calling down a bolt of thunder to strike the water in the lagoon as well.

Dreadlight Manor

I could choose a few characters who were already living dolls from the start but I’m probably going to focus mainly on those who are trapped within the mansion.

The Citadel

“Because some people don’t like it when you mess with them. If you annoy the wrong person, the chance of injury or death can greatly increase depending on the person. To that extent, it is best to be aware of how your actions may affect others to avoid that outcome from happening.” Vaan said as he quickly stepped away from the lagoon. While he was currently carrying Bartz for the time being, he had also taken care to make sure that he didn’t end up dropping him either.

Oceanus Research Facility

I have replied! Now, back to playing more Fire Emblem and working on schoolwork for me.

Oceanus Research Facility

“Wait… why is there the sound of birds coming from inside? Don’t tropical birds usually not live in enclosed environments like this or am I not remembering things correctly. Similarly, is it possible that my mind could be playing tricks on me as well?” Vaan said. While he was slightly confused about why he could hear the chirping of birds in an indoor environment, he had also decided to ask a question about it in order to try and get the answer that he needed about the situation.

However, he seemed to be slightly unsure if he would end up receiving an answer at the time although he continued to glance over the sight that was unfolded right in front of him after he spoke.

Tidus only ended up glancing over at the guards and remained silent. He seemed to be rather confused about them and why they had brought a stretcher with them although he chose not to ask the questions that were on his mind at the moment.
