Plot Outline
“You’re restless.”
Lark looked over to her demon who was sitting calmly on their bed, watching her as she paced from window to window, watching the thunderstorm against the night sky. She knew he didn’t have to read her thoughts to know that she was lusting for adventure and excitement once more. It had been quite a while since she had received word of something that needed her attention or skills which resulted in her skulking around the gothic style cathedral that she and Raven called home. It had been abandoned for centuries and Lark had exterminated it of monsters and fiends out of boredom a few years back and had taken up residence there ever since.
She had been about to say something when she heard a soft knocking on the ancient doors of the cathedral. She exchanged a look with Raven and walked to the great doors and pulled them open and her heart filled with elation when she was greeted by none other than her beloved friends.
“It’s been far too long,” Lark said, hugging Kiro and Sana, and then pausing when she saw an unfamiliar face in which Kiro introduced her to his sister, Asuka. “Why don’t you guys come inside and get out of the storm,” she suggested, moving aside so that they could enter.
They sat together in the light that the candelabras were giving off as Kiro and the others filled Lark in on a place called Viper Manor that had been taken over by a large, black dragon called Tyrant and that they had been offered the mission to expel the dragon and free the captured spirits of the innocent people that had been captured and have been used as sacrifices to the black dragon.
“I can send spirits to rest with my necromancy,” Lark informed, finally feeling useful, “But how were they captured?”
Kiro then told of how the people of Viper Manor had rioted and panicked when Tyrant had appeared, some of which turned traitorous and captured many innocent people to serve as offerings to the dragon, and have long since died in their cells located in the basement, however their spirits still remain there, longing for peace.
They waited the storm out for the night and set out immediately the next morning, and after a long trek, they found themselves standing in a group outside of the gloomy Viper Manor.

Enemies--> Low Level Bats and Spiders: Spiders as high as an average person's knee and bats with wingspans the length as a human is tall lurk in the darkness of the long since abandoned Vipor Manor. They are easy enough to take on and then out, however its not recomended to waste too much energy fighting such pests. --> Low-Medium Level Guards: Once common inhabitants of Vipor Manor, upon the arrival of the black dragon, Tyrant, turned traitorous out of fear. They have captured many of their fellow brothers, sisters, friends, and family to serve as sacrifices to the dragon. They have long since been transformed by the evil that Tyrant omits, and will now fight without question for their dragon master. Image--> Undead: Upon Tyrant's arrival of Vipor Manor, many lives were taken in sacrifices, stampedes of panicked humans, murders revolving around fear, greed, betrayal, and a plethora of other negative motives. Unable to pass on into peace, the undead wander the corridors of the Manor seeking to find a way to enter eternal slumber however never locating it. They cannot differentiate between those who work for the black dragon and those who wish to give them rest. Its best to kill them quickly. Image--> Medium Level Demon Wolves: Evil attracts evil, and the power of Tyrant has drawn to it the demon wolves that usually lurk in the surrounding woods, but have been known to wander about the corridors of the Manor, terrorizing anything it sees, including those loyal to Tyrant himself. Image--> Medium Level Suicide Chimeras: Armed with the ability to breath poison and a temporarily imobilizing virus Suicide Chimeras are potentially lethal foes to battle. If one can land a powerful enough ranged attack Suicide Chimeras provide minimal effort to defeat, however in close combat its best to raise a prayer of mercy. Image--> High Level Dragoness: The princess of Vipor Manor was taken hostage by Tyrant and was transformed by his evil into his servant. The Dragoness has forgotten her past and will fight to the death for the black dragon. As tragic as it may be, the only way to free her is to send her to her grave.  --> The Black Dragon: Tyrant: Tyrant has managed to free himself from the ancient seals that had long since bound him to oblivion, and has long since been tormenting the people of Vipor Manor. His evil powers are so strong that he can mutate the weakminded and fragile spirited beings around him into his servants. He's a force to be reckoned with, and will certainly not go down without a fight. Beware of his Shadow Nova, a blast of dark energy that he can unlease at will.

It felt like it had been ages since Lark had been on a journy, and even longer since she had seen her frineds. She looked up at Vipor Manor as it still tall against the moon; she hoped that this would satisfy the itch for adventure she had been having as of late.
She looked at her friends and smiled slightly, "Shall we go inside as see what awaits us?"

Raven could feel the satisfaction flowing through his Mistress, and as a a result felt rather satisfied as well. However he was sensing danger lurking in the woods in which they just emerged and decided he should finally mention it, "There has been something following us through the forest this entire time, I think it would be best if we head inside so that we aren't standing targets for whatever it is that is watching us at the moment."

"I had been sensing something as well," Lark admitted, clenching her fingers around the staff she had felt compelled to take from Calux's Tower from when they had saved their Master, "however I don't sense too much of a threat from it, only a minor annoyance," she paused and then looked at the concerned look on Raven's face, "Fine, you're right, it is best if we get moving."

Kiro follows in and looks around.
"interesting..." Kiro said when suddenly a small fire appeared on his shoulder and turned into a little flame puppy.
"O yeah that reminds me... Lark, Raven this is my Spirit Creature Ifrit." Kiro said introducing him to the others, Ifrit barked with joy and floated over to Lark and Raven sniffed them both then licked them softly on the cheek.

Lark's eyes began to sparkel in amazement at the fire puppy, Ifrit, and couldn't help herself but to reach out and experimentally touch him, and was delighted to find that he wasn't hot to the touch.
"He's so cute!" she exclaimed.
She began to hear a strange creaking sound in the distance and stopped her endevours with Ifrit and finally took a good look around. The Manor was old, dusty, and the floor seemed frail.
"I think it goes without saying, but lets watch our step here," she warned cautiously, just incase.

Ifrit sat on Lark's head and got comfy.
".... dont mind him... he's just lazy for the time being." Kiro told Lark as he watched his steps making sure not to break the floor.

Asuka followed close by and watched her step also, a shard of ice appeared on her shoulder and turned into a ice fairy, Shizu.
"Asuka-chan... are we finally here?" Shizu asked. "Yes Shizu we are here... and look two more friends for you to meet." Asuka said as she pointed out to Lark and Raven. Shizu looked over Asuka's shoulder and saw them and floated over and introduced herself.
"Hello... i'm Shizu, Asuka's Spirit Creature... it's nice to meet you both." Shizu said bowing in respect.

"its a pleasure to meet you too, Shizu," Lark said politely with a smile.
She then picked Ifrit off of her head and held him in her arms so that she could watch her footing better. She looked at Raven and sent a telepathic message about getting an animal of their own when they went home, but had a low, strangely jealous, huff sent back into her mind. She laughed slightly and gave Ifrit back to Kiro before Raven fell into a bad mood.
"We have to head down to the basement first and send the spirits to rest, right?" she asked, looking down two different hallways, wondering which they should take.
