tune

A knock came from the open doorway, and Adelia's sweet face smiled at them. "Hello Reese," she greeted as warmly as ever.

"Hello, aunt." Reese smiled before they got shocked by a book of magical items falling off of a shelf. Reese could've sworn they didn't even have this book on their shelf.

(Ooh, I’ve been inspired, in many ways. Sorry for the length)

Veronica hummed a gentle tune, magic flowing from her oily fingers as she caressed the blade of a dagger. The pungent red paste she used smothered the devilish blade.

She drew a rune with her fingers, her thoughts straying to Zelda’s death. Angry tears formed in her eyes as she hummed and she poked her finger on the blade tip. A flash of red fire burst, engulfing the blade, then faded, no trace of the oil left. However, the silver blade was now stained red.

‘Mother, shall we feed today?’

Veronica gasped, stunned by the suave voice in her mind. A little hum rang in her ears and the dagger’s hilt warmed up, soothing her cool fingers.

She looked at the dagger and she sensed something like a smile from it. The dagger! How was it talking to her? She wasn’t powerful enough to make intelligent items!

‘Power has nothing to do with it. Willpower is the key.’

Veronica stared at the dagger. It flashed a deep, menacing red.

‘I will help you avenge Zelda. Pain is beauty.’

The hilt became excruciatingly hot and Veronica’s eyes flashed red. She screamed then collapsed, the dagger flying from her hand. Its reddened hilt cooled, becoming silver again.

This is the dagger (not the best quality pic, but it works)

Kathrina stood before the massive eye of the skeleton dragon. Hatred and anger radiated from the dragon’s bones, many of its chains still imbedded in those same bones.

Kathrina caressed the skull, unable to reach the beast’s eye. The smooth texture still seemed so alive, and the hanging air of hatred thickened around her, inspecting her.

“Soon, I will awaken you. Very soon. Then you will lead my army to destroy the castle belonging to the very family that put you here,”Kathrina cooed.

The heaviness in the air seemed to approve, but it lingered.

“I will admit I am of that same family, but I forsake the name entirely. I am Kathrina, a mistress of the darkest nights, not some weakling bowing to the sun.”

The heavy air moved away, then the walls of the cavern groaned repeatedly, as if pulsing. A few of the witches looked around worriedly.

“Don’t worry my sisters. It is only Cruhxus laughing,”Kathrina said with a smile.

Adelia entered the room a bit more, bringing more light in with her. She and Jovie both jumped as the book fell.

"Here, let me get that," Jovie said, pushing off the bed and moving to pick up the book.

"Thanks." Reese was happy for them to help, but they felt a disturbance in the force.

Adelia could feel Reese's mood shifts, and she too sensed the strange presence, but not as strongly as Reese did.

Jovie, however, simply picked the book back up and set it on the shelf.

"I'm so sorry," they said clutching their head in their hands, "I don't know why any of this has happened or what's come over me."

Jovie, looking extremely confused, sat back down beside Reese and wrapped a comforting arm around them. "What in the light are you talking about?" She looked at Adelia with concern. "What is Reese talking about?"

Adelia didn't reply. She only moved to kneel in front of Reese. Her eyes were clouded. "I feel it too," she whispered.

Jovie was taken aback, and she looked rapidly between her friends with wide eyes. "Feel what? What is going on?"

(I don't know, I guess I'll make the first move.)

"Just some sort of stillness, some sort of wrong," they said solemnly, "I don't quite know how to explain it."

Something drew them to the book, perhaps it was something in it.

Adelia nodded thoughtfully. "Yes… It is quite an… odd feeling. I haven't felt this in years." Suddenly, she was shaken out of her daze by Jovie grabbing her arm. Adelia jerked her head to look at the girl, whose eyes were wide with confusion and fear.

"Stop it!" Jovie cried. "You're scaring me. Tell me what's going on!"

Adelia's eyes widened, and she opened her lips to reply, but she closed them just as quickly and sadly shook her head. "I don't know entirely. But there's no need to be scared. I promise you we're well-protected here."
