10 Apprentice Exorcis (2/2)
”Jade!” I sat up, picking up his tiny little body in my hand. I wince as I move my arm too fast, feeling the skin tear but I don't pay any attention to it.
Ding.
The sound was like a small gong, looking up I found a golden paper floating in the air above us. I look down at Jade and then back at the paper, quickly I grab the paper and begin to scan it over.
[Attention. A fortune has been devined, for Alice. Your fortune being clouded by an Evil Hag, kill the Evil Hag and lift the fog over your fortune. If you don't then Jade will perish, it's life force was used to create this fortune and to give you a special gift! You've got 7 hours to find and kill that Evil Hag, you've been granted the skill bonus Apprentice Exorcist, if you manage to complete the task then you can keep the skill and revive Jade. If you fail then you'll receive a negative effect, and Jade's life will be forfeited. Your time begins now. Also to convert your kitten into an easy travel item please just touch the neckless around his neck.]
This damn cat, I turn my attention back towards Jade. His chest rose and fell faintly. Royal had slithered over at this point and looked at me and Jade.
”It's fine, we'll just have to save our little troublemaker is all,” I told Royal with a small smile. Reaching down I hold the shiny neckless between my two fingers, it said to tap it right. Shifting my finger, I tap the neckless. With a glowing green light, I watch as Jade vanish and the neckless was all that was left.
It had actually expanded enough for me to wear around my own neck. Quickly, I slip it over my head and leave it resting on my neck. At least I wouldn't have to worry about what to do with him now.
”Royal it looks like we're going on a ghost hunt,” I say reaching a handout and patting his head. He gives a quick nod of his head.
I should use the skill that I'd just gotten. ”Activate Apprentice Exorcist.”
[Apprentice Exorcist Activated]
A soothing cool washed over my body, spreading from the top of my head down to the tips of my toes. It felt like I was being dosed after being out in the burning sun. Looking around, I noticed that there were actually all sorts of spirits hanging around.
