What Lies Beneath °4 [NQ] Empty Sat Mar 12, 2022 1:34 pm

Nuala finished last night’s job with relative ease. The ghosts and spirits under the Oakland Church were behaving as per usual and there was nothing odd about the catacombs, at least not that she’d noticed. Nuala did her work as per usual: at around night time, or rather after the sun had gone down and the moon was up, she would wander downtown to where the church of oak city was and pay it a little visit. The pastor already knew her by now and even though they never spoke much, both of them knew why Nuala had come here. There was something spooky going on in the catacombs and it’s been like that for a while now. It seemed that there wasn’t exactly an end in sight either, but that wasn’t really any of Nuala’s business. She just came here for the money and quite frankly? It was pretty easy money. The spirits in the catacombs weren’t exactly strong – they weren’t weak either but their reflexes honestly lacked and because of that, Nuala had a relatively easy time working her way through them. It wasn’t the most exciting job in the world, but it was enough for Nuala’s taste.

Now, maybe that shouldn’t be the only job to do for her, but she was feeling a bit lazy. Of course Nuala always had the opportunity to travel a bit and see other places of Fiore. There were plenty of towns in the western parts of the country that she could explore if she wanted to and surely there would be lots of work for her to do as well. In fact, maybe she should do that. Doing the same job over and over again could be boring after all, even though Nuala naturally wasn’t the picky type. She walked back home from her night shift with the money in her pocket. It was already past sunrise but still quite early. There were a few early birds around that she could spot, but it was just the usual people. Bakeries were opening rather early and she knew that bakers always had to be awake during the wee morning hours to prepare their meals for their guests. That’s why those were usually the first type of people that she came across after returning from a nightshift. There were also plenty of women doing the laundry outside, as it was a promising sunny day.

Aside from that, Nuala could see the usual farmers on her way home back to the guild. She didn’t speak to any of them as her guild wasn’t exactly popular with the town folk. Of course Eternal Nightmare meant no harm to the people of Oak, after all this was kind of their territory and it would be stupid of them to harm their own people, however not everyone understood that even though she supposed it was simple enough to understand. Still, none of Nuala’s problems. She returned to the guild and pushed open the heavy doors. At this time of the day, there was really no one left to talk to and Nuala felt no desire to talk to anyone anyways. She was tired, and her job had worn her out without her wanting to admit it. She walked up the endless stairways until she got to where her room was situated. It wasn’t really a room as much as it was a few chambers connected together. Nuala needed her space, the demon owned a lot of belongings. She wasn’t a hoarder per se, just someone who liked to collect, well, everything. She was a bit like a dragon.

Sitting on her precious shiny treasure and protecting it from the outside world. Of course that wasn’t entirely true as the thief also sold a lot of the items that she stole to fences around the country, but a few things had been for her personal self but that was up to her to decide. Nuala entered the room. Luci was asleep at this time of the day. The tiny demon napped in the giant bed that Nuala had gotten for herself and even though the demon always said that there was really no affection between them, he kept close to the woman. Luci was another mystery that she couldn’t quite describe or explain so she chose to ignore it. Not her monkeys not her circus or whatever you called it. Well, it didn’t really matter. She was tired, so she went to take a shower to wash all the grime off of her skin and her hair. Nuala had gotten some cobwebs into her hair during the little trip to the catacombs and while she didn’t mind, she never wanted to enter her bed dirty. She showered it all off, switched into some comfortable pajamas and then went back to sleep.

Nuala slept during most of the daylight hours. As a daemon and former voidling, the woman had always had a natural affinity towards darkness. It wasn’t as though she hated light or the sun, and it didn’t harm her either or anything like that (unless it was magic, magic was a whole different story), but she simply preferred night time, where she could see easy without the sun blinding her. Night time also helped her to not be seen so easily, so that was probably a huge factor that played into it. When Luci woke up, he didn’t bother her and simply left her alone and Nuala slept all the way until noon until she heard a knocking on her door, that she didn’t pay much attention to. There was a sound similiar to an envelope being slid under her door and she could feel some weight lifting off of her bed. She knew that Luci was getting whatever had been slipped under her door and that her nap time was now most likely over. With a sigh, Nuala turned onto her back and opened her eyes. “What is it?” She asked and turned towards the tiny, black demon.

“It’s a letter from that pastor,” Luci responded and climbed back onto the bed, passing Nuala the letter before he left again - probably to grab a cigarette. Nuala frowned and looked at the envelope. It indeed had the seal of the church on it and she wondered what he could possibly want from her. Usually, when rumours arose in the town that the spooky ghosts under the church were making loud noises again at night, Nuala would automatically find her way to the pastor and they would figure out a way to deal with it, but this was the first time that she was being approached this directly. Maybe something had gone wrong last night? She really hadn’t noticed anything different, but what did she know. Nuala opened the letter that was addressed to her personally and began reading. One of the guilds clerk’s must have carried it all the way upstairs since she doubted that the pastor had dared to step inside the guild. He shouldn’t have, it was better that way. Either way, the contents of the letter did indeed surprise her. The pastor asked to meet her tonight at the church to discuss the ongoing problem as there had been some changes.

Knowing that payment would be involved no matter what she did, Nuala sighed and got out of bed. She took her time to get ready, she wasn’t really in a hurry. She wanted the money, but at the same time Nuala needed her breakfast and her time in the morning or else she couldn’t function properly, even though it was already afternoon. To be fair, she wasn’t too keen on doing the night shift over and over again on what was basically a church graveyard, so Nuala was playing with the idea of spending some time away from Oak and ride her horse to one of the nearby towns. Shadowmere certainly looked like she could be ridden again for a few hours. After travelling for two years, by horse of course, Nuala had decided to give her mare some time to relax back at home. The climate in Oak was cool, but not too cold. It rarely rained and overall the weather was friendly. Shadowmere was having a good time relaxing her and Nuala didn’t want to take that away from her. Her horse deserved to be on vacation too. Because of this, Nuala went by foot.

Nuala was dressed in her usual attire, but she had brought most of her gear this time. Usually she went only with her daggers, as her weapons where all that she needed, but somehow the daemon had a feeling that this time it would be a bigger thing and having her magical phasing cloak and her mask probably couldn’t hurt. After finishing breakfast, Nuala made it to the church in a 15 minute walk through town. She entered through the wide doors, always amazed that she didn’t burst into flames even though she was by definition an ungodly creature or whatever, and gave the pastor a wave. He looked as though he had been expecting her. “Pastor,” she gave him a nod of acknowledgement and approached, but keeping a certain distance between them. Nuala then took a seat by one of the benches and crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I think there is a larger problem at hand,” the pastor then said and basically immediately jumped into the topic. He wasn’t really one to mince words. He then explained the issue at hand: in the catacombs, a special body had been buried, one that was much stronger and belonged to a former dark mage.

Nuala’s job for tonight was to exorcise that particular spirit, so that all the other spirits in the catacomb would stop fucking around and giving them such a hard time. It was easy enough, especially since the pastor gave her a description of the tombstone that was inside the catacomb, in the furthest depths. The payment would be as usual, which was honestly fair with Nuala. Without further ado, she took the keys to the catacombs and went straight ahead. It was just about to be sundown now, so the timing was probably perfect. This time, Nuala ignored all the lesser spirits and put on her mask, that turned her invisible. The mask was a fantastic tool to sneak up on victims and this time she used it to get through the catacombs without interruption. None of the spirits seemed to notice her, and if they could hear her they didn’t show. Nuala made sure to tread carefully as well, however since most of the spirits were lesser beings, they weren’t giving her much trouble at all. When Nuala arrived at the given location, she spotted the main trouble maker.

There was the spirit of a former dark summoner, a dark mage who had been decently powerful and apparently continued to haunt this town even in his death. He was definitely partially responsible for causing so many of the other lesser spirits to come back so frequently, when it should take them much much longer to regenerate. Because of this, Nuala was tasked to destroy his spirit, which she did with a few simple slashes of her dagger. He wasn’t really all that strong. Then she was told to burn the remains with sage, which was something that she usually didn’t do, but today an exception could be made. It was rather chaotic as well. Nuala burned the old bones and then returned to the surface. This had only taken her about an hour of her time, but the pastor seemed grateful nonetheless. He even paid her the full amount of money like he always did and expressed that he genuinely hoped it was over now and the spirits would rest for a while. Nuala was kind of beginning to hope for the same thing. If not, she could always return. But for now, she took her money and went back to the guild and to her rooms: it was time for a spa day, she deserved it after all.
