"If I find the key, yes I will give it to you. Could you describe it for me? Can you tell me where I can find Mr. Jan?"

Medivac

"The k-key is gold i-in color... but it's n-not actually gold... Other than t-that, it's pretty n-normal..." The Musician answered. "A-and you can probably f-find Mr. Jan near o-ormaybe inside the well... That's where h-he hangs out most o-of the time... I-If not, then I-I don't know where h-he would be... B-But the well has been sealed u-up for a long time now... Y-You'll probably need a r-rope or something to g-get down."

The Musician then pointed the two Operators towards the village. It was just south of the Chicken Lady's house, the same direction Wu and his group came from meaning they probably already came from the main town. After bidding farewell to the Musician, Radiant and Medivac return to the Chicken Lady's house to rendezvous with Wu and the others.

The two Operators found the Feline Defender and Ibon sitting beside each other right beside the house's door. They looked despondent, and Will-O-Wisp was nowhere to be found. "Hey, you two." Wu greeted Radiant and Medivac. "Don't ask about Will-O-Wisp. Just... just don't." A silence then came over for a few moments before Wu resumed. "So found anything in that tractor? There was someone there, right?"

"As for the lady here, we didn't get much from her other than the story of the burned house next door." Wu motioned to aforementioned ruin. "There was a couple there, Antek and Hanuska. One day, Hanuska gave birth to an... 'abomination'. The village then took her baby and burned the house down with the husband inside. I'll bet Hanuska is the Kuranta woman with you."

"Speaking of that woman, where is she?" Wu then chuckled a hopeless laugh. "She got taken by the forest too?"

"Why don't bird lady just get Nero to dinner? Then strip naked, dance on his lap, and get him to bed?"

Ditzy Stoneclub

"You don't think I already tried to do that?" The Kikimora retorted to Ditzy's suggestion. "It didn't work! He's stubborn!"

"But, Sir Nero. It's up to you. I shall not ask you to repay us by giving your life for a fight that you wish to not participate again, If you refuse then I shan't force or bind you to our agreement. The choice is yours."

Yang Bethlehem

"Well whatever. Sir Nero, you see how much this girl is willing to go for you. Either accept those feelings or not. Put an end to it once and for all."

Ozzy Skyway

Nero, still bound and gagged, managed to remove the cloth on his mouth and gave his answer while still tied up on the ground. "Look, I am flattered that she likes me but... I'm a warrior that has taken an oath to serve justice and protect the innocent. My life is forfeit ever since I took that oath with the Black Wolves, even if they have turned to evil and madness. For me to take a lover will only distract me from my duty."

He turned his head as best he could to the Kikimora. "Rayya, it's not that I don't like you. Perhaps in another life we can be together, but not in this one. I'm already a dead man, Rayya. Sooner or later, I will die fighting the enemy, whoever that may be. It would be best for both of us that you look for someone else. Someone better than me. You deserve that much, Rayya."

Rayya, the Kikimora, had tears rolling down her red cheeks. She was fuming in abject anger. "Don't you people have anything to say about that?!"

Meanwhile, Neil arrived with the Altissima sisters just in time to hear everything.

The Journey Begins

Interacted with: @Rune_Alchemist

His plan of attack was successful, but not without cost. As he lifted the wretched experiment, it managed to swipe its other blade onto his shoulder and leave behind a deep wound. The pain was stinging and burning in sensation but he was still in the thrill of adrenaline. It was bearable for now as he threw away the creature and made for the exit.

Nick clutched his injured shoulder as he continued, soon reaching the first floor of the complex. With no threat in sight for a while now, his wound made itself felt. "Argh...!" Nick knew it was gonna hurt, but he didn't know it was gonna hurt this much. The feeling was heavy, weighing down Nick until he slowed to a walk. Blood freely flowed from his shoulder, his hand drenched in the crimson. He needed to find a bandage to at least stop the bleeding before things got worse.

And things other than his shoulder got worse. The stone room he was in was had those black growths that grew upward to cover the entire room. Each opening and crack came the black substance and Nick needed to get moving again. He did so, pushing through the pain to get himself out of there. The floor also began rumbling, as if something was trying to emerge, which just added to Nick's urgency to leave.

He would make for the snow-covered courtyard where Octavia materialized. Hopefully, that place would be far enough and safe enough. Nick still had that blade of his and he realized he could cut his shirt apart to make a makeshift bandage to cover his shoulder wound.

Yes. The key was still with her.

“Musician, you’ve been a great help. Do you know where this well is? Was it by the burnt house? If you want some more help, perhaps we can talk to the Chicken Lady about your beloved one.”

Medivac

"The w-well's at the main village, m-mister... N-Near the mayor's house." The Musician immediately answered. "But b-be wary, mister. If y-you have the S-Sickness... then the place w-will stink! Like something w-was rotting f-for days...!"

"H-help? You want to h-help? So kind, s-so very k-kind... Y-you are just like h-him... My d-daddy! But... My papa has changed, m-mister. Just l-like my mommy. They will not l-listen to me, they w-won't hear how sad I am, sir..." The young infected boy then made his request. "P-please... Please find the k-key, good s-ir! T-to the Pretty L-lady's room! The.. The C-chicken Lady has it! W-well, Mr. Jan also h-has it... I saw him r-recently, near the w-well.
H-he used to play with m-me. We th-threw rocks into t-the well and l-looked into our r-reflections, while m-making silly faces!
D-daddy used to say not to d-do it, else my face w-wil stay that w-way... Now the water in the w-well is always h-hazy. It s-shows these weird i-images..."

"W-will you bring me the k-key if you f-find it? I p-promise to repay y-you somehow... M-me, and the P-pretty Lady!"

Radiant's attempts were fruitless. She continued repeating her mantra, unresponsive to all the questions thrown her way. When the Operator made note of the key the madwoman was holding though, the object gleamed and Radiant was struck by an eerie vision.

Images flashed before Radiant with various noises. First was an image of a lovely home next to a familiar structure that would be recognized as the Chicken Lady's house. The next image was the home burning in the night, a silhouette of a man in the building being charred within. A mob of shadows armed with torches and makeshift weapons surrounded and watched the inferno. They then lifted what seemed to be a baby while a familiar figure watched from behind a tree, the madwoman.

The last image was the well which was then boarded up with multiple planks. The last sound the vision gave was the snarl of a terrifying beast.

The madwoman stopped her mantra once Radiant was done with her vision, staring at the Operator with dilated eyes. She then got up and dashed into the forest, disappearing between the dead trees. Her sprint was swift, too fast for either Radiant or Medivac to chase and catch her.

No problem. I also am kinda not in a mood to write due to recent traumatic events.
