Grief , an overwhelming emotion on its own but strengthened with the help of dark and empty void she was in. Shortly after they arrived Klaud noticed a vile laying on the floor. She picked it up and looked at the liquid substance which it contained. Before anyone else noticed it she quickly hid it within her exorcist uniform. If it is laying around in a place like this it must be something of value and importance.
The general remained quiet during their long walk within the emptiness. She did not want to talk to anyone, her thoughts kept her busy. To others she might have seemed lost, an empty gaze within her eyes. But behind those eyes her mind was putting everything together, losing Jan, Christa's sister, finding Omni, threats from within their own ranks, especially Clayton. Klaud was giving every thought and emotion a place within herself.
Everything they worked for, everything they accomplished, everyone they lost brought them to this place. Granted it was the most strange place she's ever encountered, it was still the Path to Omni and to the people she loves.
The longer the group was walking forward the stranger this place became, gravity shifted , some of them were walking backwards, even their speech was affected. Pinocchio turn towards Raw Union and Klaud had to listen closely only to hear the gibberish words that he produced.
'Yaw thgir eth gnoing era ew erus uoy era ?'
He was obviously trying to ask the magical creature something, but his words did not make any sense. Raw union only met his question with a very confused look , not quite sure what to make of it all. Carefully Klaud turned her attention towards Lyra, the young girl was silent as well. She has been through allot as well. It was very admirable how far she managed to come , and even though friends and loved ones were lost, there was still hope. Once they found Omni everything would be alright, If they ever reached him.
Time passed, or so they thought. No one knew for sure how long they were wandering within this empty dark void. The longer they marched on, the stranger the place became. Above and in front of them were floating objects filling the empty space. Klaud looked through them and only recognized half of the things present within this phenomenon. Curiously she kept looking up.
It seems that this quest had yet another obstacle in stored for the group as before them floated an impressive entity made out of almost pure light. It was magnificent, beautiful and it seemed at rest. Everything would've been alright if the group would have walked by peacefully, yet Clayton had different plans and set forth another disaster.
A bright light appeared, blinding Klaud. She quickly covered her eyes with her hands. Unfortunately, whatever the being did to her it succeeded. Her head felt as if it was exploding, memories flashing by both known and unknown to her. The pain in her head was as if someone was slowly pushing a battleaxe through the middle. She tried to scream, filled her lungs with air and opened her mouth. But nothing happened. Grabbing her head she fell down on her knees, before losing conciseness completely.
Everything is dark, a faint noise of clashing metal breaches the silent. Was she still alive ? Slowly she started to feel her body aching. The General's heavy eyelids slowly opened as she saw the dark void appear once more before her eyes, even though it was all still a big blur she could clearly see two silhouettes clashing. She narrowed her eyes, trying to focus on who was up ahead. Slowly her vision returned and was finally able to see the two warriors crossing weapons with one another, but it couldn't be ? Why were they fighting ? Isaac had his blood weapon out and was furiously attacking Christa as if his life depended on it.
"Stop it Isaac ! What are you doing ?! This isn't like you !" Christa shouted as she deflected his attacks, clearly avoiding hurting him. Yet Isaac did not respond and continued his attacks towards their leader.
Klaud felt a rush of adrenaline surging through her, something was wrong, another combat has presented itself. She placed her hands on the ground and started to push herself up from the floor. Halfway up she felt a blunt object hitting the top of her head. She looked up to see a wooden puppet hitting her with his own arm. The enchanted creature shouted out with his high pitched voice and started swinging his left arm, which he was using as a weapon for his right hand, as if wielding a sword.
Klaud quickly rolled aside and got up facing the apparently enraged puppet. It was clear he wasn't himself, never before did she the always jolly Pinocchio use violence. Her foe was ready to attack again, but before he could make the first move Klaud dashed off towards Christa.
"Christa ! What's going on here ? "
"I don't know, some of us must have gotten under the influence of some sort of magic by that thing ! We have to help them !" Christa shouted back as she dodged another one of Isaac's attacks.
Klaud stopped as she just realized the massive deity was sitting above her on the same branch, just observing calmly.
*BAM*
A gunshot was heard once more. The bullet shattered against a shield of energy around the light creature. Klaud turned her head and saw it was of course Clayton firing that rifle of him to make a bad situation worse. Without a moment's hesitation Clayton started to reload his weapon. The exorcist made haste and ran towards the hunter.
The second the rifle was reloaded he once again took aim at the mystical creature of light but suddenly a battle shout could be heard from above as Raw Onion was making her way down to attack Clayton. The hunter responded by aiming his weapon towards his former ally.
*BAM*
The gun was pushed aside by Klaud and missed the foe from above who in return finished her attack by kicking both Klaud and Clayton between their eyes.
"Auw! Look what you've done. I could've taken her out !" The agitated hunter shouted at the general.
"No ! They are our allies, we do not kill them understood ?" Clayton's eyes were filled with anger he opened his mouth, presumably to shout back, but suddenly an arrow appeared between the two, slowly passing in between their faces. As if slowed by time itself the arrow crawled through the air. Both were stunned with disbelieve, they turned their heads and it was Lyra taking aim with her bow, preparing her next shot. She released the string and her next arrow moved at the speed of light, just the wind of the arrow was felt on their bare skin.
"I'll deal with her. And don't you dare fire that weapon again Clayton or so help me." With those words Klaud made her way towards Lyra who kept firing arrows at her. Each and every one of them at a different speed. Her latest shot was once again of incredible speed. The blade of the arrow whooshed past her cheek and created a pretty deep cut.
"Lyra, snap out of it !" The general took out her whip and aimed for the bow. The young archer wasn't without training and leaped back whilst preparing her next shot. Klaud decided to evade this arrow by jumping. With all her strength she pushed herself into the air, she got allot higher then usually, allot higher, so high she didn't think it was her jumping ability anymore. Klaud felt herself getting pulled towards something as if it was gravity itself. She looked at the source and saw a huge wooden 17th century sail ship floating through the air. Crashing the deck she boarded the large construction. Looking up she saw Lyra standing on the ground above her who fired two more arrows before jumping towards the ship as well.
Lyra landed gracefully and started circling the whip user. "Listen to me Lyra, you're not yourself. Something happened to you, you must fight it ! ". Her young friend stopped for a moment, her arms trembling, almost as if she was stopping herself. 'Klaud ? Help me, Klaud" She spoke with a trembling voice before snapping back to her primal state. The arrow was released but was stuck in mid-air, the perfect opening for Klaud to take advantage of. Pressing down to send herself dashing towards Lyra she noticed that her feet weren't as stable as one might expect whilst standing on wood, her boots pressed slightly down, it was like standing on a mattress . Klaud stumbled towards Lyra and lashed her whip out once more, yet this time her weapon had a mind of its own. The whip turned stiff the second it reached its maximum range. Looking perplexed she looked at her weapon. This would have to do. Klaud used her new formed whip as a very long bat and hit Lyra on her head, forcing the archer to the ground.
The exorcist didn't waste any time and made her way to Lyra. She kneeled down as she gently lifted her friend's head. "You will be alright Lyra. I don't know if this works but..." Klaud reached for the vial she found within the void. She looked at it while she ran several scenario's through her head before deciding to pour the liquid into Lyra's mouth. She started coughing immediately in Klaud's arms before losing consciousness.
Klaud picked her friend up and walked towards the side of the ship. The many objects floating around made it difficult for Klaud to jump back. She noticed a plusher teddy bear and a large clock heading towards the ship, but luckily only the stuffed animal was on a collision course. Or so she thought. The moment the toy hit the ship a loud cracking of wood was noticeable throughout the ship. It was splitting in two as the bear made his way through the ship. Nothing made sense anymore.
"Klaud ? what's happening ?" Lyra asked, waking up from her previous state of mind.
"Lyra ! I'm so glad you're back. You were under the influence of that creature, it turned you int-" The sentence was interrupted by another gunshot. Klaud turned her head and saw Clayton with a smoking gun that was aimed at the Goblin.
"Nooo ! Clayton !" She shouted from the ship in the air. She picked up her whip that had returned to its normal state. Lyra, not fully knowing what was happening picked up her bow and followed her ally . With great speed the general stormed towards the side of the ship and leaping in Clayton's direction, slowly descending from the sky. Hell has no wrath like a woman's scorn, and Clayton was about to find out just what that meant.
The general remained quiet during their long walk within the emptiness. She did not want to talk to anyone, her thoughts kept her busy.
