"Ice? Adorable Elizabeth. Though I suppose it is good. I do have my
phone though there is no connection. Kind of expected though when
you are in a castle that is fifty miles from the nearest city."
Ricky mused. "Also need any recon?"
James pauses and smirks.Just as I thought."How would you
have recon sir?"He asks while tilting his head."And how do you know
this castle is fifty miles from the nearest city?"
"Looking for supplies sounds like a good idea." Lise said, hopping
down to the floor. Troye just sat up and rubbed his temples. "Dear
me, what have we gotten into... Also, no need to be rude to a lady
Mr. Ricky. And you too." He said, glaring at Ricky and Oliver.
"Shadris." Ricky replied, as his shadow moved waving. "I am demon
possessed. Shadris whispers stuff to me. Important secrets. It
protects me, gives me information, and preforms recon. In return I
keep it alive."
James nods."A man with a shadow demon.I can respect that."He muses
before leaving the room."Also I'll take my chances...makes the game
fun for both parties no?"He says popping his head back into the
room.
"Groups. Solo is too risky." Lise mumbled before heading out the
door. Troye followed her after a moment, sighing. Lise glanced back
and stopped to wait for him before continuing side by side, neither
saying a word.
Ricky nodded, "Sounds good. I will try and locate a kitchen.
Careful, it is problem the most dangerous besides maybe were they
keep the medicine. So does anyone have any medical conditions?"
James nods in agreement with Lise.He then turns his attention to
Ricky."Well the men in white or black haven't came to take me away
so I say none here."He muses as he walks beside him.
Lise had forgotten a necklace, so she quickly popped back in to
grab it off her bunk while Troye waited outside in the hall. She
was quiet for a moment. "Just... grab some painkillers if you find
any. A load if you can." She says quietly, glancing at the
door.
Oliver sprinted down one of the halls and disappears. He then
started walking then stopped. This wall looked suspicious. He
punched it and the whole hallway shook. Then the spot on the wall
fell through. He stepped inside and walked into the darkness
Someone giggled behind Oliver."I wouldn't go that way
Oliver...Khonsu doesn't like to be messed with."A young child voice
says.It giggles again before poking him in the side."Plus its not
time to feed him yet."
James sighs and takes off at a steady jog."Looks like we are
splitting up."He mumbles.
Lise put the necklace on and quickly joined Troye outside. They
quietly began walking. Lise started up a conversation to try and
fight off the awkward silence that was growing. Troye just nodded
and spoke only as much as was needed, which was very unlike him.
Lise eventually gave up and they stopped in front of a set of
double doors, and it looked like it led to something at least
mildly important.
The child rocked back and forth and smiled at Oliver."Hi Oliver.I'm
Melody!Don't worry.I can't do anything to you til after ten.That's
big brother's rules.Can you put the sword down pleeease?"Melody
asks giving Oliver huge puppy dog eyes.
One of the double doors swung open large enough for Lise and Troye
to enter.
James sighed and ran a hand through his hair curious as to where he
should go."Left,right,or straight."
