Lore: Looking for sister..
"Unfortunently," Humarin said with a small high pitched voice, "I have to at least. You can stay out here if you want." Humarin swallowed as she walked up to the house and turned the knob. She sighed in disqust.
"Wait Lady Humarin!" Arili running up the path, "You should really read your letters more carfully. I have to come in there with you."
Humarin sighed in relief. She didn't have to enter alone. "Thanks Arili." Arili nodded. The two entered hand-in-hand.

Drakoe followed them into the house. 'Who could possibly live here' he thought to himself. The ceiling was falling down and the walls were crumbling.Drakoe had been in worse places though. He had killed his on share of people, and had to travel to some pretty gruesome places. He had a feeling they weren't about to kill someone.
Humarin walked with Arili into the middle of the floor. It was the worst place she's ever seen that still standeding as tall as the day it was built. Humarin looked at Arili, she had a fake smile on her face and Humarin felt her fear through her hand.
She heard a creepy sound and almost screamed. But Arili squeezed her hand tight, she felt a little better. "I don't know if I can do this Arili." She said scared.
"You can do this, I know you can, you were better than me at this in training." Arili said smiling her fake smile.
"Right, but that was level one not level five ghosts. I'm so frightened Arili."
"I know but we have to get through this as quick as possible and get out of here, it's about to collapse anyways. I made the choice to come along at the request of Lady Kilari." Arili smiled bright. "Ready?" She asked.
"Yes."
Both priestesses looked up through a hole in the cieling and began to sing.
A light brighter than the sun began to shine from nowhere and every where at the same time. Singing was one of the key features most exocists have in common. Humarin's part was higher than Arili's but it was pretty.
Several white things came and tried to attack the priestess's but when they got close they were repelled by a small white sheild or so it seemed. When the priestesses reached the high point of thier song most of the ghosts turned back human then dissappeared into nothing.
One of the biggest ghosts turned into a small child who was lost and scared. She didn't dissapear not even after the song finished.
"Can you help me find my Mommy?" The ghost-girl said sheding tears.
Humarin turned and looked at the girl, "Your mother isn't here, she's gone up."
"Up where?" She asked.
"To heaven. You can go there too you know it's a beautiful place, you will love it there."
"Really? And will mommy be waiting there?"
"Yes, she'll be the first to greet you."
The child lit up, "How do I get there?"
"Listen to my words, focus on the image of your mom, she'll guide you there." Humarin laid a hand on the girl, "Can you see her?"
"Yes Mommy looks so happy." The ghost began rising, "Thank you ever so much!" She waved as she dissapeared.
The house groaned as if hit, "Let's go it's going to collapse." Arili told everyone. Arili and Humarin ran out together.

Drakoe watched the exorcism in amazement. He had heard about them, but never actually seen one.
When the white objects tried to attack, Drakoe caught himself jumping back."Whoa!" he said in exasperation. He was amazed at how the priestesses worked. He never really knew they did all that much.
When he saw the little girl he wondered what had happened to her. Why her soul had never left this place. He knew he couldn't answer these questions but he would ask Humarin later.
Drakoe heard the loud groan of the house and seen Humarin and her friend running towards him. 'Oh great,' he thought' Now what?' He glanced around the room quickly and saw it starting to collapse. ' Oh! It's time to go.' He allowed the girls to run by him to make sure they made it out first. He made it out of the door just before the house imploded.
"Does your line of work always put you in such safe places to work?" he asked jokingly.

Humarin and Arili laughed at his question. Humarin shook her head, "It's not all flowers and candy."
The house turned to a pile of ashes once Humarin turned around. Arili nodded at her.
Suddenly Humarin burst into tears and hugged Arili. Arili held her until she stopped crying, "You haven't done this since the first one." She told her friend.
"I know." Humarin sniffed, "But it's just too sad."
"But you can be happy now." Arili smiled very lovingly.
You would never have known Arili was younger than Humarin by almost a year the way they acted. Arili dried Humarin's tears and Humarin took a large breath in and smiled at the sky.

Drakoe watched Humarin as she fell to pieces. He wondered what was wrong with her; he didn't really see anything that was that sad.
He looked at Arili as she comforted Humarin. She was a a lovely young lady with fair skin. He wanted to ask why Humarin was crying, but it really wasn't any of his business.
He was also curious to know if the two of themm were also sisters, but he didn't ask. Drakoe stood off by himself waiting on them to say what they were going to do next.

"So what all happened here Arili?" Humarin asked her.
"This was an orphanage we visited last year or so remember?" Arili said.
"Ya."
"Anyway sometime between then and a month ago there was a fire here. Several kids got out but a few didn't. The woman who owned this place went back in for the kids still inside but because they were in the basement they never got out. The woman had only one little girl, that was the last ghost that was sent off by us, she was lost and confused inside the smoke filled basement. The woman never found her daughter or an of those in the basement and she herself died in the doctor's house the next morning cause unknown. I'm surprised you didn't hear about it. This house has been up like this for almost two months scaring the neighborhood children. So I was sent here to wait for a level five to seven exocist to arrive and that just happened to be you."
"So the ghosts were haunting this house because they were scared to die and they were young and confused when they did die?" Humarin asked.
"Exactly." Arili turned to Drakoe, "Sir, you don't mind if I asked you what your name is do you?"

Drakoe was listening to the story. It really was a sad story. He thought about how the mother must have felt not being able to find her young daughter, and of how scared the little girl must have been.
He is thought's flashed back to his childhood and the memories of his family's death had been so hard on him. He wished that he could have only died with them sometimes.
Arili's question brought him back to reality."Hmm..?" he said not hearing what she had asked him.

Arili bowed her head, "I am Arili Nariel I'm 15 and I just got permission to be out of the monestary. Level two excorsist and studying under the best priestess in the world, Lady Kilari, maybe you'll meet her someday."
Humarin kind of rolled her eyes, to her it sounded like a sales pitch more than an introduction.
"Lady Humarin is what we call my 'Older sister' but it's more like she's learning from me sometimes. I have learned a lot under both Lady Kilari and Lady Humarin, I'm glad I know them both." Arili told him.
Humarin blushed a little at the mention of her name, only Arili would say somehting like that, and no one but Arili called her 'Lady Humarin.' Every one else just called her Humarin or Rin.

Drakoe stared at them both tentavely."Well it's very nice to meet you my ladies." He removed his hood and bowed slightly.
Drakoe's eyes narrowed and were fixed on Humarin. She was a really lovely young lady and he found himself thinking about her more than he should be. She was the reason he didn't try to kill Zutasar.
He caught himself staring and quickly looked away, hoping she didn't notice.

Humarin saw him staring but she didn't mind.
Arili noticed it too, "Oh I gotta get back to the monestary now Lady Humarin and you ahve to get back doing what you were."
Arili began heading back to town, Humarin waved as she took off. Arili waved back.
Humarin turned to Drakoe, "Well I have to get back to finding my sister..." Humarin made no attempt to invite him along, she just couldn't, "well bye now." She said and began walking off the opposite direction that Arili went.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Zutasar came to a cave with vines covering the entrance and walked in. It was dark on the inside and cold. She walked in, went through a labrynth and emerged at a tomb. A demon was sitting on the tomb and combing her hair with her fingers.
The demon suddenly got up walked over to Zutasar and grabbed her around the neck, "You only target those I tell you to. You don't target those who have nothing to do with this."
"But he mentioned that girl.." She said through the pain of her windpipe being slowly closed.
"It doesn't matter." the demon dropped her, "She will die soon enough, don't be so angry next time. You swore the only one you would listen to was me.."
"I remember my Lady, please forgive me." Zutasar bowed.
"hmph. Anyway, now this is the person who is next, she may be a little difficult so be on gaurd all the time you are near her." She said putting a hand onto Zutasar's head and giving her an image.
"I will obey." Zutasar said to her. The demon laughed in return.
