69 Unwanted Residen (2/2)
sliding down the hallway with a heavy book in hand was Seraphine her sparkling white hair flowed like water as it draped over her shoulders. Her pink dress swayed a bit as she did just like her hair as her ruby red eyes locked onto Ragnar and chucked a book at him.
Ragnar was prepared he caught the book skillfully with his right hand as he realized a second book was following closely behind the first. Unworried he caught that book as well till he saw a third book trailing inches behind the second.
He caught that one my closing both hands clasping the third book with the previous books he caught. Only to see a fourth book coming at him which he caught in his mouth leaving him open for the dictionary which he gracefully took to the forehead.
Slumped on the floor Ragnar got yelled at by Seraphine while Desmond was marveling at Seraphine's throwing skills. He even considered asking her to teach him how to throw properly because Desmond knew launching rocks at rats can only go so far.
Done yelling at Ragnar Seraphine apologized to Desmond just like the first time they met. Desmond didn't mind at all he had gotten use to Ragnar over his visits to their store.
Desmond was more interested in Seraphine as he made small talk with her ”Ms.Seraphine it is so rare that I get the chance to see you your husband usually keeps me company I am pleased too once again meet you”. Desmond spoke like a gentleman since that was the trend going around and since he liked Ragnar and Seraphine he's the only werewolf and elf he knows in the city.
Desmond had seen a few other magical races walking around, but he couldn't really just stop and stare at them for hours. While he could people would start to think there was something wrong with him. That would bring unwanted problems that he didn't want so he restrained himself.

”It is a pleasure to meet you again Mr.Gillies”
Desmond was taken back he didn't think Seraphine would remember him ”So you remember me we only met once in all the times I came here”.
”I'm quite good at remembering people and it would be hard not to remember someone who accepted an offer from one of the shadiest people in the world. If you don't mind me asking what were you thinking? If you said nothing myself and Ragnar would have been able to convince that maniac to drop whatever claim he randomly came up with”.
Desmond having a very short list of shady people he met knew who she was talking about ”yes I would admit accepting anything from someone who gave of even a tenth of the number of warning signals as that man.
Would easily earn someone the stupidest man alive award, but I am not in the greatest of circumstances. So even if you where to stop me I may have foolishly tracked the man down to accept his deal anyway.
I could not take a step forward if I didn't accept his offer nor would I have such a gracious option as taking a step back. Shady or no he offered a hand while I was surrounded by darkness. Accepting the consequences because of my actions is a part of life and apart of what will make me a great mage”.
Desmond knew he could die at any moment resistance wasn't even an option for him against the Mirror Man. So, to avoid the extreme danger he had to take extreme risks. Desmond wouldn't ever accept dying without experiencing all he could with magic. Seraphine tried to say something when a burst of deep laughter came from inside the walls as black sludge oozed from the ceiling and converged in the middle.
As the sludge converged it spoke ”Well said trash”
