Fascinating? His words made her tense, a knot forming on her gut. Was that true? What Uncle Viktus had done to her...
And Krenth seemed intrigued where as she? Uncomfortable.

Perhaps her unease was palpable, at least as they stood there beside the open window she could feel it and the night winds hardly calmed it.

Off in the distance she heard a purr of thunder and peered off towards the clouds moving across the night skies.

"Do you think we can find answers?" She asked softly, a hand still holding her robe closed.

Krenth noticed her unease, but he did not know what he could do about it. He was not one for comforting words or gestures, nor was he able to do anything with his magic to help. So, he did nothing instead. If he could not do something, there would be no point in trying. However, he did approach the window, looking out of it as well.

His gaze momentarily switched to Narophne when she spoke, then went back to the window. His voice was nearly as quiet as hers, though it was still audible. "I believe so. Before, our main issues were your injuries and a lack of time. Now, both of those have been dealt with. Once I can gather the proper materials, I can get the answers that we need." He was silent for a moment, before turning back to Naro. "Tell me, does this place have a garden of some sort? Or, do you know anything of the local plant life?" If he was lucky, he could get some of the required herbs here, or maybe in the forest.

Of course, he would need to speak with Yxdes as soon as he could. However, without the proper materials, the ritual would be useless. Perhaps he could seek out the mage twins, who would hopefully be able to assist him. Rolen and Relia were usually helpful, though a bit difficult to contact.

At his inquiry, her face seemed to light up.
"OH, we have both! A beautiful garden on the western lawn and woods all along the property. It's one of my favorite places to be-" She recalled just why the woods were her favorite place as her voice trailed off and her face fell.
She cleared her throat before continuing, "I might be able to help. We have many books at the library and..." Her nose scrunched in thought before she looked at Krenth again,  curious.
"Will the gardens help with answers?"

"That is good. To answer your question, maybe. Depending on what is contained within. The plants themselves will not give us answers, but instead the ritual I use them in will." He was silent once more, trying to remember exactly what he needed.

"I require...nightshade, a bit of blood and bone, something I can write with, and of course the proper incantations." Though he was telling Naro what some would consider great secrets, he was not especially worried. He doubted that she would be able to do anything with it, even if she had all of the necessary components.

"I will be sure to visit the library when I get the chance. Thank you for the information, Narophne."

She nodded.
"I've seen nightshade grow in the woods." But at the mentioned of needing bone and blood she frowned.
"I'm.. sure I can get you something to write with but... do you really need blood and bone?"

"Yes. They are necessary for the ritual. Key parts, in fact. However, they will be easy to collect. I can harvest them from Viktus, as long as that maid of yours hasn't found him yet. I would hate to have to search half the manor because she wanted to bury him early."

He doubted that the old woman would find Viktus, though. It was a secret passage, after all. "The most difficult part should be collecting the nightshade, then. However, even that shouldn't take too long, as long as nothing goes wrong."

visualspice

Narophne wasn't sure how she ought to feel. Although Viktus was a wicked man. He.. had still been her uncle. And the idea of rituals still had her uneasy. The last one (and only one) she had ever experienced had been on her.

"I suppose we can wait until morning to find the plant." She presumed he wouldn't be up for hunting thr plant at night. But.. she also didn't want to go 'harvesting ' the blood and bones with Krenth that evening, or even at all.

Her gaze dropped to the ground as she chewed a bit on her lower lip.

"Very well." He returned to silence, his old friend. He now had a plan, which meant he no longer had to wait. Because of that, he figured he should probably go get the two ingredients from Viktus now, if he wasn't going to go back to sleep. His mind made up, he spoke to Narophne once more.

"I cannot sleep. I am going to get the blood and bone from Viktus. Follow me if you wish, but I suggest that you try and get some more sleep. You surely must be exhausted after what has happened." He thought for another moment, before speaking again. "If you want, I could accompany you back to your room, before I begin gathering what I need."

He figured it could have been a possibility, so he asked. It would be a short detour, so he didn't mind offering.

visualspice

It was true, she felt utterly exhausted. However,  she wasn't sure if she could sleep. But having Krenth escort her down the hall felt silly.

"You do not need to inconvenience yourself. I can see myself to my room." She nodded to him. She supposed this is where the two ought to part ways.

"But do you really have to-" She stopped herself midsentence. Was it foolish to care what happened to her uncle's corpse? Even still... she couldn't help but be unsettled.  "Never mind I... I ought to head to bed "

"Very well." He turned to leave, but stopped when he heard her speak again. He slowly smiled, the first true one that he had given since he met Narophne. However, this was no ordinary smile. Although his tone remained the same as before, this smile was filled with what could only be described as...well, evil.

"I do not have to use his body. However, it seems fitting that after his attempts to kill me, Viktus ended up helping me instead." He turned back to the hall, then resumed walking. Down the halls, through the shadowy corridors, heading towards the basement. Now, without Narophne to worry about,  Krenth was able to go as fast as he wanted.

He was surprisingly speedy, too. Even with just a brisk walk, it didn't take him that long to reach the basement. There, he began to search for the passage. He found the lever and opened the door, once more heading through the secret tunnel. Soon, he would have everything he needed. Soon.

visualspice

She wasn't sure how to feel about that smile but it unsettled her and long after he had left, she had yet to return to her room. Instead,  she made her way to the library where she lit a candle and stared at the wall of books.


*******

As Krenth ventured back into the basement he would soon realize he wasn't alone, for a figure holding a lantern approached.  It was Glessa. And she was frowning.

"What brings you back here, Mr. Sarthin?" She asked,  most displeased.

Krenth whipped around to face the old maid, a hand on his mace. He mentally chastised himself for not noticing her earlier. He narrowed his eyes at the maid, similarly displeased.

"My actions are none of your concern, Glessa. But, if you must know, I am here to collect something." He turned back into the passage and began walking once more. However, his hand did not leave his weapon.

visualspice

He was wise to leave out just what. Glessa may have intervened. She also noted he was alone. Good. That meant so was Naro.

"Be mindful here in the dark." She wouldn't want her snooping 'guest' to get hurt. She then continued on her way and he'd hear the secret door closing on her way out.

"And yourself." He didn't like the way Glessa wad acting, and he especially didn't like how the door had shut behind him. He was sure he could get out, but he did not want to search for another path if the secret door was sealed.

He continued walking, drawing the dagger he had tucked away from before. He checked the sharpness of the edge, confirming that it could probably slice off flesh. For the bone, he could easily just hit the old man's arm until part of it came off.

He eventually made it to the chamber where Viktus had been killed, and began searching for the dead man's corpse. Upon locating it, he removed a small, empty vial from the pouches on his belt. He sliced off a long strip of flesh, collecting the blood that soon came out. Stoppering the vial, Krenth traded the dagger for his mace, then began to swing at the elbow of the same arm. It would probably take a bit, but eventually he would be able to take whatever part fell off. But, that would happen soon. For now, he just kept swinging.

visualspice

Glessa allowed Krenth his freedom.. for now. Unlike Viktus, she could see the great potential in him. And from the scope of things, great power as well.

He would prove useful. More useful than Viktus, who was a smattered, dead wreck. But she still had Naro...

She held her lantern before her as she made her way down the hall, pausing before the library where she spotted Narophne 's small forms, slumped over and asleep on the settee.  Her smile was small, cold and tight as she moved to cover the child with a blanket after deciding not to wake her. No, let the child rest.

Krenth eventually managed to remove Viktus' arm at the elbow, taking the severed end of it. This would be enough bone for the ritual. He sheathed his mace, then exited the secret chamber. He decided to head back to his room instead of searching for the nightshade. Only Narophne knew where it grew, and Krenth needed to prepare himself for the ritual.

He made his way back to his room, weaving through the shadowed halls. Krenth did not bother concealing Viktus' arm, believing that everyone was either asleep or elsewhere. Finally reaching his room, the tall man entered. Placing the vial of blood and the arm next to him, Krenth sat down upon the bed. He began to speak, a low chanting breaking the silence. Unlike the rest of his spells and abilities, this incantation was designed to shield his mind, to prevent the incoming forces from breaking it like a twig. If he was going to speak directly to Yxdes soon, he would need it.

visualspice

If he thought he was alone he was sorely mistaken.  Glessa had seen him passing with the detached arm. How vulgar.   She wasted little time in listening in through his door when she heard the familiar chanting to their God. Glessa scowled but steeled herself.  Patience was a virtue and it got her this far. Let the chaos mage play. If Yxdes so willed it, perhaps he had a point to play here. But she would not let him leave with the girl. It seemed he still knew very little of her importance and her ability, her boon to their powers.

She just had to wait a little longer.  Yxdes never showed his intentions so direct. Everything had a purpose.

Glessa moved to slip away to the servants quarters,  leaving the two to their own devices. Narophne was asleep and the chaos mage was... distracted. She should take care of her own chances to rest.


And she was... well, mostly right about Narophne. She remained in a dead sleep...
For at least an hour. But Narophne awoke along with the gentle chiming of the hour on the study's grandfather clock. It was followed by a flash of lightning that lit up the room,casting eerie shadows with a menacing face. She swore she saw her uncle and screamed ' just as a loud clap of thunder shook the building.

Krenth did in fact believe he was alone. He continued to chant for the hour that Narophne was asleep for, and it would have gone on for much longer if he hadn't been interrupted.

"Nal'stros varakath sla-" His arcane chanting was interrupted by a sudden boom from the storm, a flash of lightning illuminating his room. And, of course, Narophne's scream. Krenth stopped chanting, cursing once more. Krenth grabbed his mace and fully sprinted out of his room, expecting the worst. The spell wasn't finished, but it didn't matter.

"Narophne!" Krenth's voice echoed through the halls as he ran towards the library. It was tinged with anger, ready to kill anybody who dared to harm the one he had to protect. He did not know who it wad, nor did he especially care. He had a job to do, and nothing short of death would stop him.

But all he'd find was a terrified girl in a large, empty room. His presence didn't even register as tears threatened to fall. But at the next flash of lightning,  she saw nothing. Nothing was there at all.

Krenth took a look around the room, searching for anything that may be lurking in the shadows. However, all he found was Narophne. His anger began to fade away as he realized there was nothing here, and he sheathed his mace. There was no threat, so he no longer needed his weapon. Not at the moment.

Krenth finally approached Narophne, noting her terror at seemingly nothing. He gave her a small tap on the shoulder, mainly to get her attention. "Narophne. What has happened? You look like you have seen ghosts, and yet nothing is here." He seemed slightly annoyed, believing he came all the way over here for nothing. He would have to start the spell over, which meant he had done nothing but waste time for an hour. He said nothing after his inquiry, waiting for an answer.
