Volume 2: Chapter 9?

  Necra is looking out a window, she then turns and looks at an old talisman, before a voice begins to boom

  ???: We

  Necra: We?

  ???: We are truth

  Necra: ??

  ???: We are the secret, come at dawn

  Necra: Wait what is your name

  ???: Maivi, now come at dawn

  Necra looked around, the visions were uniquely impacting her and her alone, her veins began to pulse, before looking at Helia.

  Helia: Are you alright? These last days have been very stressful

  Necra: I wish I could say things were alright

  Helia: What’s going on?

  Necra: A voice keeps calling out to me, name of Maivi, telling me to come to the docks at dawn.

  Helia: I will come with you

  Necra: I would like that very much

  They go to bed, and wake up around an hour before dawn, they go and meet in the Guild Foyer before setting off

  Necra: This may be dangerous

  Helia: We’ll be fine, don’t worry

  They head out under the cover of darkness to the Pier

  It’s 20 Minutes to Sunrise as They arrive, but see green tape marked in one area

  Necra: Green Tape?, classic Jade Legion, always doing things, hired by the rich as goons,

  Helia: Easy...I know you were once among their ranks

  Necra: I bet one of them used the voices, someone hired them to subdue us

  Helia: Let’s not jump to conclusions

  Necra: Let’s just forgo this tape

  As Necra steps across the Tape, a funnel of charged green energy knocked her away, manifesting the local wildlife. Necra sees an old friend with the scant light…

  Necra: Long time no see, Myrtle

  Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

  Myrtle: I haven’t seen you in a while...What brings you here?

  Necra: The Voices in my head that haven’t left me alone since I was kicked out….You?

  Myrtle: I found one of Gevhim’s tentacles, She unveils the green aura, The Tentacle spasms and wiggles, I’m trying to keep it safe.

  Helia: Ah...O.

  She’s cut off Midsentence, the Sun begins rising earlier than planned

  Maivi: You’re here Necra

  Myrtle: I heard that…

  Maivi: Face Truth

  Helia: Let’s go

  The Sunrise morphs into a Portal and the trio walk in

  Inside, a machine begins turning, raw soul essence runs down tracks.

  Maivi: You Face Truth, Afterlife Guardian

  Necra: That is what I am, I am one of the patrons of the afterlife, that is what you made me, but that is not who I am

  Myrtle: It’s not..

  Necra: I will not reckon truth

  Maivi: You misunderstand me, This isn’t a choice, Maivi’s physical form manifests, a woman with horns and flowing hair, It is your DESTINY

  She points to a throne with bones and hollow spirits

  Necra: I don’t want your throne

  Maivi: It’s yours

  Necra: Well I don’t want it

  Maivi: It’s not a choice

  Helia and Myrtle: Well she’s made up her mind

  Myrtle looks at Necra, and Necra looks at the Demon

  Maivi: Fine, you can leave...If you beat the clock

  Necra: Wait what

  They are dropped in a sea of souls, on a boat sailing it.

  Ferryman: Hello and welcome to The River Sty-

  Angry souls lash out at Necra

  Helia: Guess were doing it

  Enter River Styx 1

  Complete River Styx 1

  Necra: God my back hurts

  Myrtle: Looks like your still you

  Necra: Even after all this time…

  Helia: How deep does your bond go

  Myrtle: Necra being banned was the worst day of my life

  Enter River Styx 2

  Midway Through River Styx 2

  Maivi: You have 37 Minutes left until you are trapped in the Afterlife, FOREVER, I don’t make the rules

  Continue River Styx 2

  End River Styx 2

  Helia: Onward towards home

  Myrtle then trips on a rock, and the tentacle of Gevhim breaks loose slipping into the soulstream, mixing with Human Souls, it looks lost but then, it climbs out, and is humanoid

  The Tentacle: Hello, call me Ehl

  Necra: Hi Ehl, are you new around here

  He grabs his head and frantically mubles before looking at Necra

  Ehl: No….

  Helia: Ok but Tick Tock

  Myrtle: Yeah as Much is a love seeing you again Nec, I don’t want to die

  Begin Afterlife Loft 1

  End Afterlife Loft 1

  Maivi: You have 19 Minutes left

  Helia: We have to go go go

  Ehl: Wait, aren’t we in the afterlife, if we don’t make the timer are we stuck here

  Myrtle: Yes and I want to LIVE

  Begin Afterlife Loft 2

  End Afterlife Loft 2

  Helia: We’re almost home free

  Maivi: NO

  She blocks their path as they run to the portal

  Maivi: The Portal closes in 7 Minutes, I cannot let you leave

  Necra: Well you’re gonna

  Ehl: Yeah let’s….what are we doing?

  Fight Maivi

  When you win

  Myrtle: GO GO GO

  The four run through the portal leaving Maivi behind, the portal disappears as soon as they walk through

  Necra looks at Myrtle

  Necra: It was good seeing you again

  Myrtle: Can I stay at the Guild a while…

  She points to Ehl

  Myrtle: I should try to hide it the best I can

  Helia: Sure

  Necra: Yeah hide under my bed if you need to, it;s good seing you again

  The four head back towards the Century Corps Guild.
