Everyone
gathered in the dining hall to be served for dinner. Chibi changed into cat
form and ran under everyone's legs to get to her spot on Lack's left side. She
was as hungry as everyone else after being drilled by Lack all day.
"Should
we serve you cat food and milk or normal food today?" Lack asked when she
leapt onto her seat. Chibi looked at him with bright blue eyes and turn back
into her normal self.
"Human
food obviously," she replied with a smile. "I'm not too fond of cat
food... Though milk sounds nice."
Lack
laughed and noticed that Trelawney was standing frozen near her seat. Her eyes
were vacant and her lips were moving. Lack stood and yelled
"SILENCE!"
Everyone
froze and only Trelawney's voice could be heard in the room. Everyone looked at
her and listened. "......foreshadows the land the people must rise. Deep
within the earth the silence is coming. It looms over us all. Justice will be
spread and the overpowered will be diminished. Only the dark messenger will
rule in power. His sword will bring down his enemies with death at his
command...." Trelawney blinked and looked at everyone. Her cheeks going
bright red she asked "What?"
Lack
sighed knowing that she wouldn't remember the first part of what she had said.
"Well?" he asked everyone. "Get to you places! Before i find a
way to eat you."
Everyone
laughed and the noise began to resume in the dining room. Chibi watched
Trelawney sit down and shake her head. "That was unexpected wasn't
it?"
"Yes
it was," Lack replied. He too was watching Trelawney. Reaching back he
grabbed the skirt of a passing maid and said "Take some headache tablets
to Trelawney. She's going to need some after that vision." The maid who
was shocked and suprised resumed her composure and nodded. Lack watched her
take a glass of water to Trelawney before looking back at Chibi. "Did you
take it all down?" he asked when he saw her little notebook she carried
around in her pouch.
"Yup!
everything she said," Chibi replied. She began to tap the end of her pen
to the top of the page. "I wish we got to hear the beginning bit."
"Me
too..." Lack replied. Nothing more was said as the maid brought in the
various dishes for each guild memeber. Chibi laughed in delight as the maid
gave her a glass of milk, 2 small strawberry tarts and a plate of noodles and
honey chicken.
Everyone
in Fight Club got their favourite things to eat for meals. Lack believed that a
happy guild performed better than a guild that was forced to eat and do things
they didn't want to. Leaning across he nicked a piece of chicken from Chibi.

Contra
knelt before Hel. His eyes not looking at her as she placed Morgue’s still
screaming head with the other ones she had collected. “You do quite well,” she
said with a smile. Placing her living hand under his chin and lifting it up,
she looked into his eyes. “I’m going to give you something in return. Something
I have given no one else before.” She leaned forward and began to unbuckle his
armor…

BlackRose
arrived back at the castle to find Palidor still bound. “No luck?” she asked
Shadow as walked to her room to get her feather brush.
Shadow
shook her head. “We might need to call Eir or Forseti for help. But I don’t
know if they’ll reply. Odin didn’t…” The indicated to Balos who was resting at
her side. “Calling a god seems to take a lot of power and strength from him.”
“I wonder if Eir might hear us if we lend our strength to Balos,”
BlackRose mused brushing her wings gently with her feather brush. “I wonder if
the gods are even able to hear us loud enough if it was Balos alone who
attempted to call them.”
Shadow
shrugged and the two of them looked towards where Novus was still hovering
around Palidor poking at him with weapons and magic and pretty much anything
that came to mind in an attempt to unbind his powers.
“Where’s Kashy?”
BlackRose called to him. “I thought he’d be here angry or something.”
“He got so angry that he left to prepare the change he has been
creating for the world,” Novus replied and he poked Palidor in the side with a
Bone Wand.
Palidor
shifted and said “Face it. Nothing is going to work. You’ve been at this for 5
hours. Take a rest already.”
Novus sat
and sighed “Then we’ll have to get Balos to attempt to call Eir. She’s the only
one who can help now.”
~~~
Kashy
stood in his room with his eyes close. Under his hands, the instruments moved
fast and on their own. He began to prepare the change. A change that would
shift the balance of power forever.
The
instruments began to move faster and faster like a whirlwind until at last they
laid to rest on the table leaving behind a small shimmering cloud. Kashy opened
his eyes and smiled at his creation.
~~~
Contra
lay in Hel’s bed. All over his body ached of the experience he just had.
Closing his eyes, he remembered the most painful yet pleasurable, revolting yet
lustful five minutes of his life. On the left side of his chest, a red mark
stood out against his white skin. Hel’s brand. Getting up, he got dressed and
began to plot how he was going to get Hel’s next head for her collection. He
knew it wasn’t going to be easy.
She wants Lack’s head, he thought as he strode out of the
room. Looking back in for a sec, he gave Morgue a pat then ruffled his hair.
Morgue swore at him angrily. “This is to teach you to respect your elders, O
Middle Seat of the Paladin Order.” He laughed and left the room. Now how am I
going to get Lack’s head without causing all of Fight Club to come down on me.
