It's been a while since Khalfani had done work for anybody that wasn't his guild mates. It wasn't because he was against it or anything like that, he just really needed to focus on what he was building. It took a lot of conversations with people he could care less about, finding people he was interested in, and long days of planning and plotting, but finally it was close to coming into fruition. All that was left was connecting with a few other people he wanted apart of this new...thing, and boom. In the meantime, there was some money that needed to be made. Big bucks, if you will. So the Vampire stood in the park not too far of the location he needed to get to, smoking a spliff awaiting a new friend he had recently made. Well...maybe friend was the wrong word right now, but she definitely was someone he had taken a liking too. The moon radiated viciously in the sky. It was always a beautiful sight, far more calming, and more gentle then the sun who always seemed to demand the world acknowledge his existence. Quietly as people strolled past, he waited patiently for his questing partner to appear.

It didn't take Veronica long to show up.As Khalfani enjoyed the spliff in front of the church, sinning like he usually did because he was a sinner, he heart the food steps of someone moving closer, crunching the leaves, sticks and grass as they trekked in his direction. Slowly he turned, eyes reddened and lowered as his gaze met with the Icy queen. With a nod, he offered the spliff to Victoria. If she had refused he would simply throw the rest of it on the ground and allow the wind to take its life. There was always more marijuana where Khalfani was concerned. It was exactly a habit he had always, it was a new habit he had picked up throughout his travels and struggle to achieve a specific goal. The woman asked what the task was today, adding in that she didn't understand how she would be of use to tonights mission. The panther raised an eyebrow curiously. He could tell that she was strong, did she not believe the same thing? "Glad you made it. It's simple, we go inside this church and destroy whatever is inside the catacombs." He paused before turning to look at the cathedral. "Ion know what lies beneath this shit, but we'll get it done. The pay is around four-hundred thousand or somethin'." Money money money. This quest was one that paid big, it was the only reason why he had agreed to take it in the first place. The Eternal Nightmare mage was tired of doing petty quests that paid chump change. With a smirk, he looked at Veronica after revealing the pay. Maybe that should inspire her.

 The church of the false god requiring help from the likes of someone like Khalfani, who was not only deemed an abomination by the very same people who ran the church, but also a dark mage was quite ironic. It meant that they were very very desperate for help. It didn't matter though, because the money would be worth it. Every single time. The fiorian church used to be one of the strongest entities both politically and magically back in the day. The Holy Knights were rumored to be just as strong as the Rune Knights if not even stronger. What happened to them and why they descended back into the shadows remained a mystery to the Black panther, but he was certain that people began to realize just how actually insane they were.

How could you support the church and all of its hypocrisies. They were indeed an entity that didn't matter on the grand scheme of things. All of that praise, commitment and worship for a false god who had proven time and time again that he could give a shit about the people of Earthland. If he did, things would have been a lot fucking different overall. The rogue prince nodded towards Veronica. She had things to do so she wanted to get this all done quickly. Fair enough, Khal thought. He didn't wanna be here all night either. It was already getting light and the sun had been retreating. Gods, he couldn't wait until summer time.

"Cool. Let's do this."

It was funny. When Veronica approached Khalfani she was adamant on him taking point for this little quest, but it seemed lke she had changed her mind. It was a good thing too because the nightmare sorcerer was feeling the effects of the herbs he had just finished smoking. Everything looked dreamy. He might just fuck around let Veronica handle everything. He had just bought these boots too, perhaps it would be best to not fuck them up. The white haired mistress walked into the church and Khalfani trailed right behind her. He was curious as to what her skills might. Unlike him, she may have been a stable magic user. Khalfani's magic had undergone so many changes in a short span of time, it was hard to actually get a grip on his powers. The gods had literally been fighting for his body.

On one hand you had Amun-ra who had unlocked his latent potential, then you had Apophis manipulating fate, causing Khalfani to turn into a vampire. And now... it seemed like Apophis had other plans now that the prince had already accepted his connection. As the duo entered the building, the nuns immediately turned around and threw the water on Veronica. Khalfani scratched his head. Shit like that would make him kill everyone in the building and just steal the damn money. Perhaps the trouble it would cause wasn't worth it though. Holy water though? That could only mean they knew Veronica was a demon.

With a sigh Khalfani shook his head and Veronica began speaking. Apparently holy water didn't work on her. Did these nuns really have zero experience with real actual demonic beings? It was a laughable attempt at best. However, it was amazing how Veronica kept her composure. although Khalfani wasn't boisterous or verbal with his anger all the time, he would have killed them al with the most nonchalant expression and kept it moving. He wasn't patient at all. The panther raised an eyebrow and watched Veronica interact with the rest of them, silently. A sharp reply was thrown at the nuns, reminding them that their god was always nowhere to be found. The nuns were triggered to say the least, but before any more harm could come to the people in the space, a deep voice made an appearance and began speaking.

Veronica had all of this under control so Khalfani still hadn't said a word. This would go by smoothly. No issues, no problems, just easy money how he liked it. The priest continued speaking, apologizing on behalf of his cultists and explaining the task at hand in depth. Typical. He probably despised Veronica too, yet he knew that the problem underneath this building needed to be fixed and quickly. Who knows what could happen if whatever creatures were beneath the ground had decided to come out and play. Khalfani didn't mind either way, he wouldn't be in Oak for long and most of the people here had sticks up their asses. When the man was finished, Veronica had left, glaring at him despite the fact that he was too afraid to return the gaze. Khal simply made his way up to him and said his piece.

"Make sure the reward is up to par, alright? We would hate to have to deal with you when we're done." He said coldly, although as politely as he could with a short nod.

The priest looked at him with widened eyes before nodding. He understood the message loud and clear. Khalfani knew that these folks may have taken this as a chance to underpay the both of them because of what he assumed off of their demeanor alone, so clearing that up before getting his hands dirty was imperative. Shortly after he caught up to Veronica. The two of them moved down the stairs as Veronica briefly expressed how stupid this all was. The Prince couldn't agree more. No matter how many times they eradicated the monsters or whatever in the catacombs they just always seemed to come back. In the end Snow White told him to just destroy them all, no saving them.

"Alright." he chuckled after Veronica finished with her rant. Her words held a certain malicious tone, surely annoyed, but her expression remained the same. This was definitely the Veronica show, and Khalfani was here for it. She was giving anti-hero energy to the girls. When they finally reached the catacombs, Khalfani couldn't help but crumble his nose up at the smell.

It smelled like dead old people and sweaty balls. Why the fuck would anyone really come down here? The Panther's partner asked what he wanted to do. "Let's split up and get this over with." He said coldly. He was always straightforward. "And don't die." He said before turning away and making his way through the tunnel on the left side of the catacombs. The tunnel was dark and smaller than the main one that brought them here. Moaning noises could be heard the further he walked. Finally when he reached the end of the tunnel he ended up at a circular room housing three opened coffins. Damn, this was about to be annoying, he thought. Suddenly he heard a booming screech from all around him and tapped his ear-piece to activate his helmet.

A woman began manifesting. Tall, ugly and white. Her hair looked dry and brittle like she was ready to just fall over and die...again. Without a moment of hesitation she screeched again and jolted towards Khalfani. With a 15 meter difference between them, he had more than enough time to dart to the side as she swiped her ghostly hand at his previous position.

"Bitches be mad that they died and take it out on everybody else. Could never be me." He said out loud as if taunting the wench of a spirit.

Angered, she screeched again. This time her screech shook the entire building, causing pieces from the roof on the entire church to break off and rocks to fall from the roof of the catacombs. Again she darted towards the Black Panther of Eternal nightmare. She seemed to have it out for not only him, but the building as a whole. So why the hell didn't she just leave? Maybe it was time to test a theory. The prince-brother hoped Veronica was faring well. In fact, he was actually playing this like an unspoken competition. Whoever finished first would win.

The woman charged forward again, and this time Khalfani darted to the opposite side and began jogging backwards through the tunnel as he kept his eyes on the woman. She was still furious, probably because all she wanted was to rest and she couldn't even get that. To be quite honest, Khalfani pitied her. She most likely wasn't the lady she was before her death. When you became a spirit like this, it meant that a certain part of your consciousness was in control. All she was at this moment was a ghost trying to wreak havoc for one reason or another. The woman climbed on the left wall as Khalfani darted through the tunnel but when he got to the middle of both tunnels where Veronica and him had started, she couldn't move anymore. She was trapped somehow. Whatever it was that was trapping was probably what was making her angry. Regardless, Khalfani shook his head with a sigh before walking up to the woman swinging his hand and slamming her face into the wall countless times. She wouldn't disappear. As he was slaming her face he nodded at Veronica who had left her side of the tunnel as she walked up the stars. One more slam and just like that the ghost was gone. Only a few seconds after Veronica had reached the priest, Khalfani had appeared on the main floor of the church where the two of them got their rewards before dipping. "Hungry? It's on me." he said casually.
