Rina isn't feeling too good. It started as a pretty fun night, and she hated to just walk off on the commotion. It was her best friend's graduation after all. It also wouldn't look too good on her since she's the one that made the effort to reach out to everyone to join the celebration in the first place.

Rasha enters the room.

"Rina?" he says. Rina turns her head at him, offering a fake smile. "Are you alright?" Rina just nods. "Girl, the party's out there! C'mon. We're just getting started here." Rina just scratches the back of her neck.

"I'll be out in a minute," Rina replies.

"What are you doing in here anyway?" Rasha questions. Rina sighs. She doesn't really like it when Rasha gets nosy, but then again, Rina does not really know what she's doing in the storage room of all places. "You sure you're alright?" Rasha asks.

"Wake up," Rina says. There's an awkward silence. "Oh! Um, nevermind...that. I don't know what's gotten into me." Rasha just laughs and tugs on her arm.

"You haven't had anything to drink yet, have you? Come on! This party is nothing without you."

Rina needs to go outside. She's getting a headache and it seems to be getting worse. She's also getting quite dizzy.

Rina emerges outside and breaths in fresh air.

> STOP SAYING EVERYTHING THAT GOES THROUGH YOUR MIND. YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DREAM AFTER BEING DRUGGED AND RAPED. WAKE UP AND KILL YOUR RAPIST.

> Wake up. Now.

"No! No! Fuck! Shut the fuck up!" Her head is pounding. It's like something small crawled into her skull and keeps screaming things at her with its tiny, obnoxious voice.

Just grunt, pretend your physically ill in the stomach, get in your car and get away. Your headache isn't going to allow you to speak to this hallucination with anything other than a curse word, so just keep your own mouth shut beyond that ill grunt. She might get concerned and follow, but just say that you really need to get home and crash on your couch, you're sorry about missing the graduation.

Yes this is a hallucination or dream, but I'm cautious, don't ruin the consistency, it may have dire consequences. We need to get home where we are more in control of the dream environment, what we have, what we use, and who we interact with.

Rina simply grunts in response, grasping her stomach in an attempt to look ill. Glade approaches her regardless.

"Rina..." she says quietly.

Rina stops her car on the side of the road, the pains going from her head and down to her lower abdomen. She feels strangely aroused, but not in a good, comfortable way. It feels like something is rhythmatically penetrating her vagina. She feels every inch of her body pulse.

I think this means that Nysandra doesn't like what Harry's doing or Glade's fighting back the possession, so progress on that front and maybe something we can use.
Rina, park somewhere, try and ghost your secondary body you can only barely feel and attack the violator. Harry should be behind you, try and grab his face or throat and gouge it with your claws or teeth.

"No. Fuck that," Rina says. She feels kinda stupid talking to herself like this.

> Or you could imagine a cliff, and jump off of it, the death will wake you.

"Yeah, okay, whatever. Actually I kinda like this. No one to bother me. I think I'll just relax and...you know...do nothing. Better than being awake right now. What if I can't do anything? What if my limbs are tied together? It is better to be helpless on this nice, cozy island than being helpless while experiencing this shit as I'm awake."

What about killing the son of a bitch that's doing this to you? What about all your friends dying? Because, that's what's going to happen. Rasha, Leon, all of the surviving ones will probably die in the wake of the release of this spider god.

Please, focus a little bit more on the reality, feel where your hands are and what they're doing. Are they constrained by rope? You don't need to wake up first, just feel. Then imagine them around that fucker Harry's throat. And all that's just down the line. Just one more thing to do. Tear his cock off and shove it down his choking throat. Use your legs. Use everything. Flail like the beast you are. Tear out his jugular with your fox teeth. All down there.

BE THE BEAST!

You need to wake up Rina. You're missing all the fun! Even if you're bound hand and foot, if you stay asleep you can't bitterly curse his loins as they drive you towards a powerful orgasm. Even if he's gagged you, if you stay asleep you can't glare at him with enough heat and venom to sear holes in his skull. Would you rather sit there in that car feeling vaguely uncomfortable until he's done, or would you rather be engaged and aware?

At worst it's simply a dangerous pleasure. At best you may be able to overpower or otherwise frustrate him. (At best best if you wake up it'll totally be Rasha or something) But if you don't want to be like all those girls who just lie back and go to their happy places, who regret for the rest of their lives not even having the courage to protest at the time, you have to wake up Rina.

Oh shit dude what are you doing. Why should you care if you are helpless. Having this sport of attitude shall not help you. Taking apathy to this situation will end up with you being pregnant or some shit. I'm also sure Rasha would not approve to you just being submissive. I'm also sure that we your inner voices are very unsatisfied with this. Is this what you want? The disapproval of even your inner workings. We are driving you woman. Don't let this mentally unstable prick have you. Your loins are reserved. FIGHT BACK AND WAKE UP DAMN IT. Your dreams are giving you a false sense of security. Being in a land of lies is worse than a bad truth, you should know. Besides, if you are tied, he needs room to get between you. That gives you leg room to knee him in the gonads, that good enough?

"FUCK!!" Rina screams, weeping as the earth around her crumbles, sending her and her vehicle plummeting into the void. Rina can see Rasha, Glade, and Leon in her mind's eye. If she doesn't do anything, if she just gives up, the people she loves are going to perish...and the world with them. Everything fades to black. Rina feels like she's floating. She then feels her cheek touch something cool, and then the lower half of her body lifts involuntarily.

Rina slowly turns to face the figure standing at the single opening of the chamber. It's Glade. Rina just glares at her, knowing who still has a firm grasp on her mind.

"Had fun? I could've stopped him a little earlier but..." She shrugs. "You've been a ghastly little pest, but now here you are...tiptoeing across the narrowing path to your destiny. Everything is falling into place...well, almost everything. Harry has yet to behave. Don't you, Harry?"

Rina looks down, surprised to see Harry conscious again.

"F-fuck you," he gurgles, spitting at Rina. "Demoness...please grant me more time."

Glade snarls. "Shut your fucking mouth. We're done here." She looks up at Rina. "Rina, you have the choice of venturing further...or turning back. I wouldn't advise the latter." She playfully spins and sensually carresses her own body. "I still have your bitch here."

Rina rushes at Glade, getting ready to pounce and tackle her down. Glade extends an arm outward, an invisible forcefield keeping Rina from going any further. Glade swings her arm to the side and Rina is sent flying into the wall. Rina falls on her knees, struggling to get back up.

Harry is lifted into the air like a puppet.

"It's a pretty linear path, and your final destination shouldn't be very far now. I can give you my word that a scratch won't be laid onto your wolf bitch...only if you abide by my rules. I look forward to our get-together. Harry looks pretty excited too." She gazes at him. "C'mon now. Time to go."

"Please..." Harry groans.

"Shut up," Glade cuts him off, laughing and she walks away, dragging Harry along with her. They disappear down the hall out of Rina's view.

Rina's entire body aches and she feels faint. She has a hard time getting up, hugging the wall.

And that is exactly what Rina plans to do...but how? It seems she's at the end of her rope here.

Rina dizzily shambles out of the small chamber and into the hallway. To the left, the hallway stretches out into darkness. To the right is where Glade has gone. It branches to the right.

> why aren't we calling out to Moth and Miles again? they were close by not too long ago. are we in the same place?

The super narrow hallway is pretty familiar, but Rina gets the feeling she's deeper in the strange, underground labyrinth.

Rina tries calling out to Miles or Moth, but she gets no answer. Pricking her ears, Rina hears frequent dripping sounds.

"Hmph! What a thing to think of me as. I figured by now you'd have realized that my brothers and I aren't just walking corpses. We have acquired a spiritual...semi-physical form almost," the female says. Rina just stares in puzzlement. "Things have gotten interesting really fast.

"Yes. I understand your need for those. In fact, I know what happened to you and..." she trails off and sighs. "I'm sorry. No woman should ever have to endure such a horrible thing. I suppose you can say this is another reason I have to aid you now. He won't get away with what he did." Rina's heart feels light. She's relieved knowing that this being that once fought her is now siding by her. She feels she can openly communicate to her, like a close friend. She has this odd but serene complexion to her.

"Do you have a name?" Rina asks.

"It's Mia. I'm aware of yours already." Mia looks toward the bars and ambles toward them. Rina steps aside. Mia turns into a blur, and in a split second, she is inside the room. She turns toward Rina again. "This entire place is awful. Just being in this underground hellhole makes me sick. I'm a little afraid too. My memories are slowly coming back to me...and the memories here are not too great. It's not crystal clear to me yet, but I know something really bad has happened...to me...and to many others."

"What happened to Miles?" Rina asks. Mia looks puzzled for a moment, but then gazes over at his body.

"Ah...yes. Well, I am not sure what happened to your ally, but if I had to guess, Harry didn't like that he was a member of the police. Cutting someone's lower leg off for little reason? That wouldn't be impossible for Harry. But Harry may have questioned him, perhaps about reinforcements or just things like that.

And don't fret. He still lives. Blood doesn't flow from his wound either...may be a tourniquet."

"Maybe we could take his pants off. Would that disturb the wound?"

Mia shakes her head. "I don't think it will. Looks like the tourniquet is under the pants." She looks up at Rina. "I won't be the one to do it though." Mia walks over to the nearby drawer and opens it, revealing a bloodied axe, a mallet, and a piece of rebar. "You'll have to break that lock."

Rina heads inside the room and carefully removes Miles' pants. While it's better than nothing, the thought of wearing the bloody pants makes Rina a little ill. It's a tad big too, but Rina feels better having something rather than nothing at the moment.

"I guess I should just move forward," Rina says weakly, pacing. "But there has to be something I can do."

"Or something I can do," Mia states. "And I think I have a plan that could save your friend. I can also expose the Demoness, but she is like me. She can't be killed. We'll have to interrupt the ritual somehow."

"Your friend should be fine. We have no choice but to carry on anyway," Mia walks out of the chamber. Rina hesitates, looking back at Miles.

Together, the duo head down the hallway and emerge into a rather large chamber. Some kind of disgusting fume is in the air. Rina gags and covers her muzzle. Mia seems unphased. She is scanning the room, looking for something. Rina feels nothing but dread in this chamber. A makeshift furnace lies on the other side, as well as piles upon piles of...something. Rina hopes they're not what she thinks they are.

Rina takes a closer peek at the things sticking out of the pits of sand. It certainly looks like...a body part. Rina looks away almost immediately and sees Mia walking over to one of the piles. She kneels down and picks up one of the smaller bodies. Mia then proceeds to hug and carress the corpse.

Rina just stares on.

They've always seemed to have been able to interact with objects.

> Who is it?

"Who...is it?" Rina asks.

After several seconds, Mia speaks. "My baby girl." There's another long awkward moment of silence. "It's funny," she chuckles, "how I could have forgotten something like this. Well...it wasn't really in my knowledge. When she disappeared...I had an idea of what happened. They took her...and used her in this heinous ritual. They also wanted to send a message to me...

Why? She had nothing to do with this." The atmosphere thickens. Rina feels a strange intensity in the air that is only growing stronger. "This hideous face that you've seen...do you know what it is? It's what they did to me. I want nothing more than to spill their blood. I just want to go back and rip all of them to shreds before they touched my poor girl."

Rina's heart pounds against her chest as the air grows even more harsh.

Yes, she's creepy as fuck. Yes, she's an undead abomination. Yes, she's probably the reason for these cold feelings you're getting.

But right now she's mourning. She knew her daughter was dead, but it's against our nature to give up on hoping even when it goes against all reason.
Finding the body made it real to Mia; her lingering hopes have been crushed. It's good that she's getting closure, but it's traumatic for her.

Right now she needs some reassurance, and a hug will do that.

Of course it concerns you. You're both victims of the same demoness - and as terrible as your own experiences have been, Mia's have obviously been much more horrific.

The duo leave the room. It's not long before they find the exit out of those caves.

It's a beautiful morning, but a disturbing feeling still resides in Rina's heart. The world is still and frightfully quiet. Nysindra's realm.

A wooden bridge lies before them, and at the other side there is a piece of land, a large hole cut into the cliff face. Rina thinks she can see something on the rounded stone walls.

The bridge looks in fine condition, even if it is a bit rickety. Rina and Mia traverse across it safely.

They stand in front of a tall stone door and don't make a move for a while. Rina brandishes her axe, feeling her body shake in nervousness. She grips the axe handle tightly, sensing the cold sweat of her palms. Mia turns to face her.

"Rina...before we head in and face Her, I would like for you to know my plan inside and out," Mia says. Rina doesn't take her eye off the door. "I need to get inside of your friend. Inside, I can combat with Nysindra and attempt to wrest her out of her body...but..." she sighs, "your friend may not be able to handle it." Rina looks downward, closing her eyes. "It will be greatly intense and a huge toll on her mind. If she can't take it, she may die. If she can, she will probably suffer some...damage. I just wanted you to know that."

"What I mean by damage is that her brain may suffer from this struggle. She could get memory loss or worse," Mia explains.

"That's out of the question. We're here now and we must face Her," Mia says.

"Okay," Rina replies, breathing deep, "but make sure you kill that thing. No holding back."

Mia laughs. "Kill Her? Not possible...but we will be able to stall the ritual. While I distract Her, you have to destroy that orb. If She hasn't already done it, She will eject the spirits she has consumed into that orb. It is a powerful prison and a key to the ritual's completion. Just follow my lead."

Rina nods and the stone door slowly opens.

Rina and Mia emerge into a very large chamber. A bright, sickly red emanates from a massive curtain over the center of the room. Strange metal frames hang from the ceiling, accompanied by mutilated bodies tied up to them. Rina's stomach twists at this grotesque site.

She eyes two silhouettes on the curtain.

There is nothing else in the room aside from what Rina has already seen. There must be a lot more behind that curtain though. Rina cautiously steps forward until Glade's voice sounds from behind the curtain.

"Hello, Rina. I'm glad you could make it. How do you like the room? Sorta grotesque. A little too much for my taste, but I can't complain. So how about it? Ready to carry on from where these buffoons left off?"

Rina says nothing and continues to amble forward tentatively.

"You don't have to be shy now," Glade says as the curtains start to spread apart slowly. What is revealed is Harry pointing a pistol at Glade's head. Behind the two are rows upon rows of candles lined against the wall. A medium-sized depression is embedded on the wall behind Glade and Harry, the familiar marking painted around it.

"Harry, I hate you more than fucking anything right now, but I want to know...what do you get out of all this?" Rina questions. Harry doesn't speak for a moment.

"It doesn't matter," Glade cuts in. "I have him by the balls right now. He's as much of a pawn as every one who was involved in this. I can't say I'm not grateful though."

"I know I've done horrible things, and especially to you, Rina," Harry starts, his voice shaky, "but She is right. I'm...going to die. When you're in the position I'm in, when you know death is creeping behind your back, you DO things. I don't hate you, Rina, but I know you have every reason to hate me for what I did, and what I'm going to do."

"I don't need a host for now, Rina," Glade states. Rina is taken aback. "You don't realize I just need this wolf to motivate you?"

"I'm not just going to end myself or something," Harry says. "After the orb is inserted, Nysindra will then need a living body to take over." Rina thinks she can see him wink. She then realizes something. If Harry does die before the ritual can be completed, Nysindra will take over either Rina or stay inside Glade. Either way, the end result probably won't be very good for the host.

"Don't you have some domain of your own? Why not screw off back to where you came from and leave us be. We don't even exist there, right? Don't you think this is too much effort?" Rina questions mockingly.

"Effort? Don't be silly, irritant. All the effort invested in this shit was carried out by the fools who worshipped me, including this fleabag here. As for a domain, yes, there's no room for your kind there, but you know what? Why should I sit idly by with the knowledge that your kind exists? It's about time someone should do something about it."

"You're fucking sick," Rina says.

"You wanna know something else? Remember when you first met me? Or 'her' I should say?" Rina looks puzzled, but slowly comes to realization. "Yes, I just referred to 'her' separately. My little helpers don't have this ability, but I very much am capable of possessing a spirit. The so-called 'Light,' oh, she is real indeed. How do you think a spirit like me carried such powers to heal rapidly at will?"

There's rope everywhere in this room. Bounding the bodies to their pedestals and shit, don't tell me there isn't supplies here.

Back away from the abomination your friend has turned into and lets try harming the orb with the axe, though i doubt it will do any good but its an act of defiance.

So is she outside of glade or is Glade now a deformed monster?
Goddamnit Mia you didn't tell us how to destroy this shit. Rina! Eat the orb! Let it digest in your stomach acid! OR we could just throw it down a cliff and hope it breaks. Wonder if hitting the ground at terminal velocity has more impact force than a bullet.

Or we throw it into a volcano or molten magma. Might be one nearby. She we can't find a metalworks factory real quick. It took down the terminator 1000

That fucking orb! Take it and run. Next test is going to involve thermal strain. Are there any flares around or, alternatively, means by which you can cool it rapidly? Preferably, we'd want both in sequence. That bullet should have exerted a lot of force, yet it wasn't at all visibly deformed. If it's breakable by mundane means, it will take quite a bit. Unfortunately, it may be breakable only by magical means, and that will take some weird, unpredictable series of events to bring about. I wish we had asked Mia about this.

Anyway, for now, grab it and run.

Rina swiftly grasps the orb and makes a run for it, but Nysindra is incredibly fast, swiping one of her bony arms at Rina's legs. It catches her left leg and trips Rina. She hits the ground hard and can no longer feel her legs.

"Your valiance is amusing, Rina," Nysindra says tauntingly as her body becomes a blur. She speeds toward Harry and enters him. Harry rises and casually walks over to Rina as she flops over onto her stomach and drags herself toward the fallen orb.

Shoot Harry's fingers and hands if you can. Don't kill him unless that obviously isn't working. Get a different weapon, one that doesn't need ammo. Be prepared to break an arm or try to. Hell, if you can break Harry's leg, that can give you a major advantage. Shoot him in the kneecaps maybe? Say sorry to Harry if he can still feel in there. He's a son of a bitch, but we shouldn't be cool with torture and pain for vengeance, only for practicality. We're not HER.

Rina pulls out her gun and shoots at Harry, but it's a vain effort. His wounds recover abnormally fast.

Click! Click!

Rina throws her gun at him, shouting in a rage. She weeps bitterly as she watches Harry insert the orb into the depression. A strong gust picks up as what sounds like the screams of hundreds explode all around the chamber. Rina screams too, excruciating pain coursing through her entire being, feeling something HUGE being torn from her body. The bond is being broken, and soon Nysindra wouldn't have to worry about keeping her alive any longer.

Rasha and Leon stand over Miles.

"Whew, thank God he's still breathing," Rasha says. Leon looks like he's going to be sick.

"Is this really the guy?" Leon asks. "Why should we look over some policeman? The police are AFTER our asses, right?"

"I don't know, but that's what that creature told us to do." The duo stare on.

"Well one of us has to move forward too..." Leon says nervously.

"Yeah. Dude, listen, for the past few years I've done nothing but bring disappointment to my family. I'm a huge wreck and I don't see how I can redeem myself after what I've thrown away without a care. I want to...I want to do something that won't embarrass my family for once. I want to help Rina."

Rasha looks away, pondering. "I understand. Are you ready? There's no telling what's going on over there right now."

"I think I am. I've been waiting for a moment where I can...DO something, you know?"

Rina is still alive. She's not sure how. She swears she felt like she was transcending into another dimension, one which felt overwhelmingly serene, one in which she could forget about all the horrible things that happened to her.

But she's still here. The scent of her own blood is rich in the air. She feels a sickly warmth in every orifice on her body. She still can't feel her legs. She feels she should just lie there and wait to be offed.

With enough willpower, Rina manages to slowly lift her head to see Glade. Thankfully, she's still fine. Nysindra seems more focused on completing the ritual right now than doing anything to her.

Harry's screams start to reverberate across the chamber as Rina witnesses his grotesque transformation.

"Now that the spirits are cocooned and ready for harvest, I have become weak once again. But with this body..." Rina hears Nysindra's raspy voice as Harry's screams degrade to pitiful gurgles.

"Fighting," Rina replies. "Don't you think this moment wouldn't be so sweet if it was too easy?" Rina doesn't know why she's insisting on doing this, especially in her state.

"Interesting. You are right though. This will be most entertaining." Rina suddenly feels her legs again, a large stinging sensation coursing across them as they wake up. She lifts herself up. Nysindra kicks the axe toward Rina. Shaky, Rina bends over and picks it up, brandishing it afterwards.

First things first, attack those pincer legs of hers. Dodge if they come for you. She's damn fast though, even when she says she's been weakened. You might need to use the environment to your advantage. Pillars, walls, whatever. At least I hope you have some help in the environment.
Secondary targets are Harry's actual leg legs. Don't get too close, always be reactive. We may need to take this outside, it'd be wonderful if we could literally kick her off that bridge, I don't think she'd be able to get back up to repossess you quickly, if she can at all in this state.

Rina keeps her distance, keeping her eyes focused on her pincer arms. Nysindra eventually strikes first. She is not nearly as fast as she was before taking over Harry's body.

That gun not might work very well Leon. It might work if he gets the kneecaps if Nysindra heals them that quick again. Try and get the orb I guess. Rina, cover Leon. Your melee weapon does decent damage to her if Moth fails. Keep backing up. Retreat outside as soon as you get the orb, keep covering Leon. Hopefully Moth will shout how to destroy it but I'm not counting on it. we might need to throw it over the edge of the bridge.
Or look over the horizon for any volcano to throw the damn thing into. Then it will be a long battle getting to it, assuming Moth fails and can't fly us. Actually, better idea. Kick Nysindra off bridge like we thought of before, fly on Moth to volcano or whatever, destroy orb, win the game.

You might want to try sliding under him to make him lose his balance if just regular struggling doesn't seem to work. Just try and yell the words your here to destroy the orb and prevent this. And killing you will unleash the apocalypse because that's what Nysindra wants. Just try your best to get a word in edgewise and keep dodging if you can, just keep talking and avoiding because that's all you can do here. You can't possibly fight, only run, but you're surrounded.

"Black Cloak, as your kind seems to refer to him by."

We also need to know if this orb is strengthened with pain, her alignment, and if it's in fact possible to weaken it with it's opposite or through other methods?

"Why do these 'minions' serve her? Is there a way to turn them?" Rina questions.

"Impossible. These are creations born from Nysindra herself. They are our target. If we can fend them off and weaken them, it should show my children that there is still hope. With all of our power merged, we will be able to break free and destroy this prison," the glowing spirit explains.

"How can we do that? Do you have some kind of super power that'll help fight them off?"

"Not me. You do. It's your endurance. Your bravery. You have made it very far, but I can't say that those alone will help you survive. You need me to enter you. I know that may not tick with you considering what happened last time...but this is ME, Rina. There are no false veils anymore."

Compliment Mia, tell her that the only thing she's failed at is wearing something that looks good. She's done great so far, we couldn't have gotten this far without her. We'd be dead with no options pretty much.
Just stop moping and we can do shit, I mean, if she wasn't moping a minute ago her brother wouldn't have just choked you, even if it didn't really do much harm, but he'd be a bit less pissed off probably, and cooperative. Been through too much to stop now lady, so let's all die trying hard anyway, or dying completely. Then if we super fail, try again somehow. Because that's what we do motherfucker.

Rina doesn't say anything, lost for words. Live spirits? What does he mean?

"No! No, please!"

Meanwhile, the cat anthro takes on the burly demon. Rina targets the two lean demons and charges forward, pouncing one of them fiercely.

A barrage of punches go back and forth between Rina and the demon. Rina feels the blows true against her face, but the pain only made her more vicious. A lean demon rears back, ready to strike Rina.

Suddenly, Mia jumps into the battle, powerfully grasping the demon with a single hand and delivering quick and powerful punches with the other. It goes down in no time.

Rina deals one more blow to the demon she has pinned. Both of them dissipate. Rina and Mia stare at each other for a while. Mia smiles and nods. Rina does the same.

The cat anthro is still dealing with the burly demon while Leon is making quick work on the smaller ones. Glade is doing nothing, looking like she's about to faint.

"Mia," Rina starts, but Mia nods again, knowing what to do. She runs off to help the others. In the meantime, Rina approaches Glade. She turns her around and playfully pokes her muzzle against Glade's.

"Glade, I know this is hard, and a little intense, but we need you. We need everyone to join in this fight."

"Rina...a-are we dead?" Glade asks. Rina laughs.

"No! Well, kinda. Listen, don't worry about that. We'll be fine. When all this is over, we'll return to normal, trust me."

"I can't fight. I can't do anything, Rina. I've done nothing but get captured...putting you in danger," Glade says sadly, closing her eyes and looking downward in shame.

"Rina!" Glade shouts out, wide-eyed at whatever she looks at behind Rina. With speedy reflexes, Glade leaps onto a demon sneaking behind her. She sinks her teeth into its shoulder and then its neck, ripping and tearing away until it explodes into a smog. Glade breathes deep, looking back at Rina with a shocked face. "I can...do this," she says, filled with awe. Rina grins in sheer joy.

Rina bellows out the most fierce battle cry she can muster, charging into the army of demons, her allies following close behind, letting out their own war cries. They are greatly outnumbered, but the rush given off the situation enables them to tear through the demons considerably quicker, allowing them to deal with more as they come. Still, it's not enough for just them to handle the myriad.

More spirits join the fray! Rina sees several of them dashing into the battle, taking on the demons. The fight grows more fierce than ever. Rina and her allies seem to be getting an upper hand, but the sheer amount of demons they have to face doesn't seem to be decreasing.

Rina cannot believe her eyes. The bravery they've displayed is drawing more and more spirits into the war. Chaos fills the air as the spirits shout and scream, letting out a collective anger they've gathered in the many years they've been trapped under Nysindra's rule. This is it. They may actually be able to end this once and for all. Rina is transfixed at the battle going on around her, still in awe at the insanity of it all.

Nysindra lets Rina's body drop to the ground. Rina feels numb. The Light has been absorbed.

Nysindra's husk sizzles and crackles, the fur and flesh burning up into ashes and scattering around until nothing noticeable is left of it. What's left is Nysindra's spirit form, within seconds pinned down by the Moth. Nysindra cackles maniacally.

Check to make sure the blood isn't dark red which means one of the important abdomen organs has been pierced.

Rina was stabbed, but there is no wound on her "body".

"Someone help!" Leon shouts out. The Light and the spirits circle around the somber scene.

"Nysindra cut Rina's tie to her physical body. What you see is her spirit...completely separated now. Nysindra was able to see I was in her and absorbed me so I couldn't suppress the damage," the Light explains.

"I'm...dead?" Rina says, her voice a low and pitiful croak. There's a long silence.

"No, no there has to be something we can do. It can't end like this," Leon states through bared teeth, grasping his hair in frustration.

"There is something, but you will not like it," the Light says.

"Tell me! I'll do anything! She's my little sister for Christ's sake!"

"I cannot grant life out of nowhere. Life must be removed from another being and then quickly inserted into her. I can do the insertion, but where the life comes from is up to you two." The Light sighs, looking away slightly.

"Oh my God." Leon stuffs his face into his palms. He then looks at Glade. Glade eyes him with terror, inching back a bit. He looks back at Rina and brings his muzzle close to her face, stroking her cheek. "Rina, let me do it. I've already hit rock bottom. You deserve a life.

But if not, man, I dunno. Leon would go further than rock bottom if Rina died, Glade is probably going to need support for whatever's happened to her physical head. Fine, but goddamn do it. Make it clear to your brother you not fucking want to do it. You shouldn't have to.

"Harry..." Rina says, struggling to raise her head. Harry's eyes snap open, looking directly at Rina. He dashes over to her and falls onto his knees.

"Rina! Oh no, Rina. What did she do to you!? No, how could this happen??" he's even more frantic than Leon.

"I...am not certain who this friend of yours is, but he seems to have been possessed by Nysindra. When She absorbed me out of you, She could have also absorbed your life and it may have leaked into his spirit," the Light explains. Harry whirls at her.

"This is not my life! It's not mine to keep! I don't deserve it! Please, help me give it back to Rina!" The Light nods. Without hesitation, she merges into Harry's body. Gradually, his glow begins to disappear and Rina feels something filling her. She suddenly feels a tremendous force in her chest and rises up, gasping loudly.

"Rina! Oh my God! I can't believe it!" Leon shouts with joy, choking back in tears as he embraces his sister. Glade does the same and the spirits around them cheer and woop in delight. The Light reappears to the side, looking down at them and chuckling warmly.

"This is good," the Light says. She looks up to the empty firmament. "We're all set to break free. Is everyone prepared?"

"Harry," Rina starts, looking him directly in the eyes, "thank you. I mean it. Thank you so much," she says, trying to sound as sincere as possible.

Harry becomes bashful, scratching the back of his head.

"You deserve it, Rina. You inspired me you know. Not just back there at the altar, but when I first laid eyes on you. I..." he stops for a moment, seeming embarrassed, "well, everything about you inspires me. I don't think it's much to atone for what I did to you, but it will make me happy to see you alive and well."

"Fucking pathetic, just like the rest of you," Nysindra spits.

"I used to feel I was obliged to finish this ritual, but you opened my eyes, Rina. I realized I don't want this to go through. That may be the 'not crazy' part of me talking but..." he laughs.

"We should depart," the Light states. Nysindra wriggles underneath Moth, who is still firmly weighing over her. The Light looks back at Her. "Hmm. I was going to leave Her here so that she could be sent back to her world before the portal collapses, but I think Rina should decide on your fate."

"You're going to let a revolting creature FAR LOWER than we to make that sort of decision? You disgust me, Vayl."

"Rina," the Light turns to the vixen, "once we break through and fail the ritual, the portal conjured from the incident will close, and Nysindra's dimension will cease to exist in your world. Leaving Her here will ensure she gets sent back to the pits from where she came, but if you wish to take her along for the ride...well, she'll be stuck in a world she hates dearly. What do you want for Her?"

How much of a threat is she in the real world? She'll more than likely try to kill and torture people, innocent people if she comes home with us. It's an interesting torture, but she'll adapt and find a way to like it, again, by killing and torturing people. She'd have to be stuck in a body or form that is unable to do anything at all, including talking, because she'll probably coerce or brainwash somebody again into doing something to please her.

Unless we can send her to the care bears world, it's not worth bringing her home just for some false sense of justice that isn't going to serve anyone.

But I'm actually serious about the care bear thing, send her to a place opposite of her element if you can. Care bears, happiness, pleasure, whatever. Anywhere were she can't adapt and cause any suffering whatsoever. Otherwise leave her here.

"What about a place of happiness? A place where She can't do anything? If we let her back into our world, wouldn't she be able to cause more torture and pain? Couldn't she brainwash someone else to do her bidding?" Rina asks.

"Interesting approach, Rina. Back then, She was able to attack you because she was filled with US. We gave Her the strength She had. But you are right about coercion. As for a 'world of happiness'." The Light gazes over to the spirits. "In my realm, there are pockets unique to each individual soul. A small part of my realm is given to them so that they may fulfill their deepest desires. But it doesn't come automatically, no."

"Atonement," the mangled spirit utters. "But do we even deserve it?"

"Everyone has a chance at atonement. Those acts you haven't atoned for when you had flesh can still be washed away. Heinous acts you've committed as a spirit count as well. You most definitely have something you need to atone for, yes?" The spirit looks downward, seeming forlorn. "A male raccoon and his family waits. But I'll leave that for now. Rina, every spirit must make a hard journey to reach total atonement. What I'm getting at is that if Nysindra were to reside with me, She could very much see the spirits' toil and find joy in such a thing."

"You're damn right I would," Nysindra snaps.

"But once again, it's up to you."
>>
No. 484010 ID: 8042f4

If Nysindra was left here (which would banish her back to her own plane) would the spirits still have a chance to atone? If they still can, she should be sent back to where she came from; because a person's deepest desire may be corrupted.(love into lust, friendly rivalry into bitter competition, etc.) If they can only seek redemption while she is in light's realm; I think it is worth the risk that she might influence others. After all, they fought her in the end.
>>
No. 484015 ID: 57a559

The toil will end eventually? Correct? She will have satisfaction for a time, and then nothing for eternity? Sounds like what happens to the souls of the evil on earth in Christian beliefs, short bits of demented happiness here, then death, then eternal suffering or nothingness.

Sounds good. Again, only if she is unable to do anything whatsoever. No interaction, no powers, no nothing. She may only watch. Forever.

"If Nysindra is sent back to her world, would the spirits still have a chance to atone?" Rina asks.

"Of course. Every spirit that passes has the ability to travel down the road to redemption."

"Wouldn't Nysindra be able to corrupt one's desires? Like love into lust?"

"In the afterlife, desires do not have to have any bounds or limits. There are no levels of corruption, and a spirit is left to his own small pocket in the realm, where no other can be disturbed. Nysindra won't be able to do much of anything. With that..." the Light looks over to Nysindra, "I think it'd be good for her to accompany us. Do you agree?"

Rina nods, smirking. Suddenly, she feels a pulling force toward the Light. Spirits all around start to be sucked into the Light, merging with her entity. As more of the spirits fill her, the more the light aura around her brightens. Rina herself eventually succumbs to the suction, her vision being clouded by a blinding light.

Once all the spirits have been absorbed, the Light gazes at Nysindra.

"Ready for a little trip?" she asks mockingly. Nysindra screeches angrily.

"Get the fuck away from me! Leave me here, you bitch! You really want your pathetic little fleabags to suffer?! No! Piss off!" Nysindra wriggles violently. Moth grasps onto one of Her bony arms as the Light sits atop of his back. They rocket upward, the sky slowly cracking open. The Light's aura intensifies and the sky crumbles, letting white light flood in. Rina can see everything through the spirit's eyes.

It's incredible.

Rina's party return to Miles, who is looking very unwell, excluding his severed leg.

Rina asks, "Have you seen part of his leg around? If it's not mangled or anything they should be able to..."

Rasha shakes his head sadly. "No trace of it."

Miles speaks up, his voice hoarse. "They are going to meet outside the church. We need to get going. This isn't getting any better."

With that, Rasha assists Miles as he hops on his one leg. The party backtracks to the interior of the church and steps outside the double doors.

"Police! Put your hands behind your heads!"

Before Rina can react, Miles pushes his way out the doors and hangs on to the wall.

"Officer Miles!" one of the squad members shouts out, dashing toward Miles and helping him. They go over to one of the police cars. Miles leans on the hood and growls loudly in pain.

"Listen everyone. Don't worry about those four. They have done nothing wrong," Miles announces. The police look at them in confusion.

"Miles, what has been going on? On our way here, we saw the sanitarium. It's chaos over there. Chief Brown is dead...and there's a nurse who's been killed too."

"All the fucked up things that've been going on...I might sound insane when I say this...but it's all some cultist magic bullshit. You have to believe me."

"Cultists??" The officers chatter in puzzlement.

"Yes. You guys need to stay behind. Look around the village. You're bound to find something about them and their practices."

"Did they do this to you?!" one of the officers sickly gazes at Miles's half leg.

"One of them. Yeah."

"Don't worry, Miles. An ambulance is coming right away!"

"I know." He looks up at Rina.

"They need to head over to the hospital as well," he states.

"Right. But what about the cultists you're talking about? Where are they?"

"Gone," Rina blurts out. The officers put their eyes on her. "It's taken care of. There's nothing to worry about anymore."

"We owe her and her friends our lives," Miles says. "I'll tell you guys everything. Just get me to that damn hospital asap."

"We will, bro. Just hang in there," one of the squad members assures him. Miles looks at Rina and winks. Rina nods back with a grin.

Back at the Locust Grove hospital. Rina can't believe she's here again. It feels like everything she's been through is just one big massive blur in her mind.

Glade and Rasha have already appointed themselves to a doctor. Rina reclines on a chair in the waiting room with Leon. Neither of them say anything to each other, pondering on the events that have led to this point.

A nurse walks by. "Miss? Are you Ms. Foxhart?"

Rina lazily turns her head to the nurse. "Yeah."

"Ma'am, are you sure you don't need medical attention yourself?"

"I'm sure, thanks." The nurse looks as if she wishes to question Rina, but puts it off and continues walking. Leon gazes over at Rina when the nurse is gone.

"You just need a bath then?" he says jokingly.

"Not as much as you," she retorts.

Rina wonders what she should do while waiting.

I just remembered your not wearing your old pants, so you can't possibly have your wallet. Then again, maybe you never had it during this entire adventure, so it's at your apartment. Maybe call your Mom and Dad?

Rina feels another violent twinge in her stomach that she's been trying to ignore for a while now. It is probably time to get some food in her.

"Leon, you hungry?" she asks her brother.

"Yeah. Food sounds good."

Together they head to the cafeteria. It's very nice. Very homey. Leon offers to order both him and Rina a meal, to which she is grateful.

Rina and Leon eat quietly, still pensive. Rina has never cared for the idea of keeping in touch with her parents, but after her many encounters with death, she feels a great urge to speak to them.

After finishing her meal, Rina tells Leon, "I'm going to make a phone call."

"Oh. Okay." With that, Rina gets up and goes to the nearest phone.

She dials her Dad's number, still somewhere in the back of her mind. It rings several times.

"Hello?" the familiar, warm voice of her father echoes from the phone.

"D-Dad?" Rina says.

"Rina? Is that you?"

"Yeah," Rina smiles, feeling the fur on the back of her neck stand. She hasn't talked to him in years. She fumbles for words. "Hey, uh, I just wanted to call you. I haven't done so in a while so um..."

"Ah. Ah! Rina, that's absolutely fine. Where are you?"

"I'm at Locust Grove. It's not far from Vinefield."

"What're you doin' there? Sorry if I'm nosy...I just don't know what my baby girl has been up to." Both of them chuckle. Rina wants to spill everything out, but at the same time she doesn't want to get into details of what happened. Her father is a good distance away and has no idea what's been going on, and Rina would rather leave it at that than worry him and talk about a bunch of crazy shit he probably wouldn't believe.

If not, what should she say next?

We're just here because of a long-winded geocache trip. Wanted to know more about how the parents were doing. Oh and we met up with Leon again. Unless you don't want to mention that. Leon might be a bad subject to bring up with your parents, but the easiest subject to talk about.

He might need help, a home. With what's all happened he might want to get clean. This call would have been a lot worse if Harry didn't have any of your lifeforce back in the orb and you had to take Leon's. You would have had to let your parents know then. This is a good opportunity for Leon to have his own second chance, if anything.

You could also talk about how things are with Rasha. Or school, or your career. Or ask your parents to relay a message to Glade's aunt and uncle about her health. Or not, since they don't care that much? OR maybe they do and whatever Glade's been telling you over the years was an overreaction to her parental abandonment?

That's is definitely something to consider. Rina will have to remember that. She cannot believe she forgot about something like that. Although, she has been on the pill, so she'll try a pregnancy test to make sure.

"I'm, uh, at the hospital. You see, I went on a geocaching trip and had a bad fall."

"Wow, I hope it wasn't too bad."

"Just a few deep cuts and a concussion."

"No broken bones? Thank goodness. Well, I'm glad you're doing fine, Rina."

"Heh, yeah..." Rina swallows, working up the nerve to talk about Leon. "Uh, Dad? I think Leon might need a little help." He doesn't reply. "He wants to get clean. He wants a second chance, but he would look toward you and - "

"Rina. It's alright. Don't be afraid to speak about your brother. I haven't heard from him almost as long as you, but I know why." He sighs and continues. "I'm very happy you care for your brother, despite what he's put himself through. It's just...it's been a hard time, you know? He's arrogant. Hot-headed. He refuses to keep in touch. Rina, is he scared?"

"I...think so."

"We don't think we've been bad parents. We've put a lot into funding Leon's schooling." Rina scratches her neck, feeling itchy and hot. She understands where her Dad is coming from. "We've tried to help him, but he turned us down. That's what got me the most."

Rina wants to reassure her father. Leon living through the incident felt like a second chance has been given to him, and she doesn't want to just turn him away, even if he has already done so to her family.

If Leon ever hopes to get clean, he has to fix his bridges though. He's managed to fix the bridge with you, at least. You can tell your father that. He helped you a bit with the geocaching accident. Helped Glade too.

If there's any hope for Leon whatsoever, he's going to need your parents' forgiveness. Fix the bridges, so to speak. Both ways. There's a chance for everything to be stable again. This is family we're talking about. That's a gamble always worth going for. Far moreso than a college education.

He's just got to be ready for change I suppose. Maybe it's now. Would he like to talk to your father? We can convince him to talk on the phone at least. Just ask him if he'd like everything to get better again, with the family. We shouldn't just talk behind his back like this, make the decision for him.

You've been too busy to have taken the pill these last few days, it's not going to work until you get back into the routine again, I think. You've been at risk this entire adventure, basically. Good thing you haven't had desperate I-might-die-tomorrow sex with Rasha, otherwise we get a confusing "who's the father" issue and almost throws abortion out the window, well, depending on either of you or Rasha's thoughts about that.

Best thought I can think of is asking doctors here about a decent morning after pill. Thanks to sex education in the states, however, and the government qualifying that as a form of abortion for some godawful reason, public schools can't talk about it in-depth, so I have no idea of the health issues with them. They're practically either scams or wonderous get-out-of-fucked-situations free cards from my perspective, and you can't look up this shit on the internet, it's full of retards.

Rina's always been a bit hesitant to take one of those for some reason, but until she takes the test, she won't just jump into it.

"But, Dad, we can't just give up on him. Can't you give him another chance? He's been really helpful lately. He's helped me after that geocaching accident. He also helped my friend, Glade. Can't you forgive him this one time? He really regrets everything he's done."

"Rina...I - "

"Just a moment, Dad." Rina turns around to see Leon ambling toward her nervously.

"Is that," Leon doesn't need to finish as Rina nods her head. "Can I talk to him?"

"Dad, do you want to talk to Leon?" Rina asks. Her father pauses for a moment. "Sure. Sure, Rina, thanks."

"I love you. I'll call you back soon."

"I love you too." Rina gives the phone to Leon. He takes it and Rina immediately walks back to the cafeteria.

"Dad - " she hears Leon say before his voice becomes inaudible. She sits down on a chair close to the doorway.

Shortly after, Rasha and Glade walk into the cafeteria.

"Rina!" Rasha waves at her. Rina sees he has an ankle brace. Glade also looks as confused as before.

"They told me to keep off it as long as possible and to get some rest. Glade though..." he looks at the wolf, who seems dazed by the television propped against the corner. "Well, they did a quick brain scan or something and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it! But they're saying she may have got a bit of amnesia that may take a bit to recover."

A pregnancy test wont give you a result soon enough for a morning after pill to function. Detecting pregnancy is impossible before a fertilized egg has implanted on the uterine lining and even then hormone levels take weeks to build to conclusive levels. Morning after pills function by preventing implantation, they are a form of contraceptive and prevent pregnancy from occurring. Measures taken after implantation would be considered abortion. Just get the damn pill so you don't have to worry about it or take chances.

Right. Rina's never had to deal with this before since taking the pill coupled with Rasha always using protection. It would probably be best to get her hands on one of those morning after pills.

> Ask Glade to talk. To say anything.

Glade eyes Rina and seems to blush. She scoots behind Rasha timidly. Rina is speechless for a moment.

"Glade? Do you remember me?" she doesn't respond.

"Yeah...they may have missed something, I think. They do want to see her again though. They may hook her up with a therapist too."

That's going to be nasty on the bills. Goddamn, none of us have any real health insurance, do we? Your parents can help with yours, and maybe Rasha's if they don't help out, but Glade's going to have the biggest bill of you all and she doesn't have any resources to cover this, we don't even know if she can function at all in a job, and health insurance plans don't cover friends. Now if you could get married, like, maybe. Depends on the state your in.

Rina's parents would definitely be able to help with her bill. Rasha and Glade would be able to take care of themselves, especially Glade, since her relatives are actually quite wealthy.

"I'll be back, guys. I need to speak to a doctor." Rina gets up and leads herself to a pharmacy where she asks for a morning-after pill. The process is fairly simple and she acquires it with no hassle. She also makes an appointment to see if she has contracted any sort of disease.

As she heads back to the lobby, she sees that Leon has finished talking to Dad. He looks excited and beams when he eyes Rina. Rina smiles, expecting good news.

"Rina, he'll do it! He'll help me out! He even wants me to live with him!"

"That's great, Leon," she says.

"I can't believe it. After how disrespectful I've been!"

"I let him know you were willing, and I believe in you."

"Thank you so much, Rina." With that, the gang rounds up and takes their leave. Rina eyes another television propped up against a ceiling corner as they make their way to the exit.

"...grisly murders have followed in merely a day. The victims included nurse Janice Carson, who had been previously accused of unauthorized euthanasia toward a sanitarium patient, Chief of Locust Grove police Mr. Jay Briar, and lastly, a professor of the University of Vinefield, Mr. David Farrow. Police forces have speculated a cult may be the doing of these murders, and although the cult itself hasn't been found, police have uncovered a village nestled deep in Locust Grove forestlands where injured officer Jack Miles was recovered as well as several young adults. Thanks to Officer Miles's testimonies, the police have revealed a plethora of information related to the cult and its practices."

A couple months pass and life seems to have taken a turn for the better. Leon caught his flight a couple weeks ago. He'll be attending a college over where Dad lives, so he will be able to stay close to his parents. It may have been the separation that caused him to take the bad turn in his life.

Glade is back at her home doing well. She is slowly but surely beginning to remember things again, and as Rina expected, her relatives were nice enough to handle her bills. Now that Glade graduated, she is trying to pursue a career as a hair stylist/groomer.

Rasha has become a lot more social, making new friends and gradually losing his intense dependency on Rina.

Miles is recovering steadily and successfully persuaded the force to believe Rina and her friends were not the cause of the murders and instead helped to stop the cultists from their plans.

Rina herself is trying to get back to her normal life, catching up with school work and maintaining her job as a waitress. She has also been diagnosed as being clean of any diseases following her doctor appointment.

Today is her day off and she's trying to remember a task she had been putting off for this day...

Then again, the cult artifact might be the god of pleasure and happiness for all we know and actually want to help mankind, so... I guess we open the box and solve all the problems again if there is any. Do you have any other friends with personal problems that can be fixed like Rasha and Leon's were? Maybe some of Rasha's friends he hangs out with? Shit son, go down to a rehab clinic, get a crack addict out to do this shit with you and watch what happens.

"Wow, thank you! I thought that was lost forever!" Rina takes the bag and starts rummaging through it, finding most of her items she had at the village.

There's also...

"Oh," Rina opens the small box. The wedding ring still sits comfortably inside it. It wouldn't hurt to use it...would it? Rina thinks it would be disrespectful, though, even though Janice and her fiance have passed.

I don't think you should, this item meant something special between two people that you never knew. You could probably try burying it. It wouldn't match the symbology between you and Rasha unless you guys got your rings yourselves or it was passed down through GENERATIONS.

Yuck, okay, maybe instead of burying it we should find next of kin. So that can get passed down for generations. Janice or her husband (most probably her husband, not everyone wears the pants in a relationship like you Rina, and Janice didn't seem the type) might have been the oldest kids in their recent generation. It might be best to give it to Miles since Janice's fiance was a cop and probably knew them, or the one cop survivor that was at the totaled office.

> I don't think you should, this item meant something special between two people that you never knew.

Right. Using the ring as her own would surely be disrespectful toward them. She'll take a trip to Locust Grove to give it to Miles sometime. She looks up at Moth and nods.

"Thanks again." She turns and walks back to the car. She looks back at Moth one last time.

You have a long life ahead of you. You will face more hardships, but with the strength you've gained from this experience, you will conquer them all. I must return to my duties elsewhere. Farewell.
