(Question, would the bolts destroy the twins too or just everything else?)
(Question, would the bolts destroy the twins too or just everything else?)
Jovie looked worriedly at Reese. "Does that hurt you?"
Adelia winced, but she managed to keep the delicate shield in place.
Kathrina screamed furiously, summoning three gargoyles that charged at her three enemies. She quickly summoned three more.
Veronica’s spell cleaned the rest of the area, even taking Zelda’s body, which only upset her further. However, the spell struggled to grab at three shielded folk. It devoured the gargoyles and undead.
“No! Dispel it! Dispel it!”Kathrina shrieked.
Veronica threw the scroll away. She couldn’t dispel it, only quit casting and let it fade. She continued to cry.
Kathrina howled, summoning as many gargoyles as she possibly could.
(She can only summon a dozen at once, max)
(Not the caster. And Kathrina is semi-inside the castle doors. Everything else is fair game)
"A little," they answered, "don't worry about me." They grabbed their ankle, revealing a small hole where it had touched the light.
(If you need me to change the spell at all, I can. I know I just threw out a powerful one here. Hopefully not too overwhelming)
(You don't need to change it, I was just curious.)
(So if Adelia lets down the shield, what will that do to them?)
(I'd have to flip a coin and Jovie and Adelia would probably die.)
(Lol. While the storm lasts, it’ll attack her like everything else. I’d say maybe a few minutes of waiting to let the storm fade and she’d be fine)
Jovie looked horrified. "Adelia, put down the shield," she urged.
Adelia shot her maid an are-you-actually-crazy look. "The gargoyles and lighting will-"
"I can take on the gargoyles, and you can deflect the lightning," Jovie shot back. "Reese can't stay in here."
Adelia looked doubtful, and she didn't let the shield down yet. She did, however, slightly dim its light.
Kathrina slipped inside the castle, pure anger and hatred in her eyes. Her gargoyles and the charging undead fell to the storm. However, some undead remained inside.
Veronica, oblivious to Kathrina, watched the shields. She hoped the storm would get her sister’s murderer.
The storm zapped at the shields, causing them to flicker a bit, but they remained up. As the minutes passed, the storm started fading and less bolts came down.
When it finally faded away, Veronica whimpered and looked to Kathrina. She gasped when she saw her sister had vanished.
(I've got an idea, hold on.)
Somehow, Reese found themself outside of the shield. They panicked, before being hit with a bolt. Once the bolt cleared, all that was left of them was a vial of shadows.
(Note: Reese isn't necessarily dead, just unmade.)
(Ooh. I like what you did there. ‘Thumbs-up’. A better alternative than flipping a coin)
"Reese!" Jovie shrieked, kneeling on the ground beside where Reese had stood.
Adelia released the shield, in the mean time remaining acutely aware of any remaining bolts that might be aimed for her or Jovie.
(They can come back, they just are gone temporarily. Until someone brings them back anyways.)
(oooo what happened to Kathrina???)
(They can come back, they just are gone temporarily. Until someone brings them back anyways.)
(👍🏻)
(‘Dramatic hand movements’. The new villain leaves the scene. Who knows where or when she’ll reappear? ‘Sly contemplation’)
(ooooo so what about Veronica XD)
“Kata! Kati, please!”Veronica calls.
She turns to Adelia, pulling out her other ‘cleaner’ scroll in case Adelia tried anything. Tears still streamed from her eyes as she glared.
“I will never surrender to you, fool sister.”
(I'm going to peace out now. It shall be TBC.)
(See you when you return, River. ‘Waving goodbye’. Camie, you want to do a final reply, just for the heck of it? Or did you already leave?)
(I got you Serpentess!)
Adelia smiled sadly, restricted tears glistening in her eyes as well, and held her hands up. "I'm not going to hurt you, Veronica. I never wanted to hurt you. I never wanted to hurt Zelda or Kathrina either. It… It doesn't have to be this way. You're still my sister. You're welcome here, should you chose it."
(I’m going to make one last reply too, then call it)
(Okay, sounds good!)
“I will never stay here while Light remains. I’m going home, and taking a horse and a cat with me,”Veronica hissed, sniffling.
She stomped away, giving Adelia and Jovie a wide berth. However, just before she left the courtyard, she turned around and threw another scroll at Adelia. This one was a large fireball.
Veronica laughed evilly and ran off. Before the hour passed, a horse was gone from the royal stables, and a calico cat had joined Veronica.
(This feels like the end of CHAPTER I.)
(Lol yeah it does)
Adelia threw her arms up and deflected the fireball away into the sky. Once her sister was out of sight, she collapsed to her knees in exhaustion. Jovie quickly moved beside her for support, still emotional after loosing Reese.
(And yes I know Reese can "come back", but Jovie doesn't.)
(So, how do you guys want to continue? I have an idea or two, but I wanted to ask first. And considering I probably should have said this earlier in the day)
