The group was practically at their destination. The lights of the city were growing ever nearer as they approached its walls.
But the closer they got, the greater the tension. It didn't help that two people had already died during the night. Superjolt and Hopeless Masquerade had both been screaming about some sort of beast chasing them, some vision that they had silently been experiencing for two nights beforehand.
Zami knew well the stories. A Hellhound marked its prey for death, and upon the third greeting of its visage, its victims would perish.
And so the two had collapsed before the sun even loomed on the horizon.
And the third death came just before the sun rose. They were nearly upon the capital when the Daemons lashed out at the Joker, but the trickster evaded them, sacrificing a Pawn in his stead. Poor Wizardman never even saw it coming.
The She-Wolf had also made her move, lunging at Lucifer, but the Necromancer intervened with some sort of curse. It corrupted Ash's bite, so that instead of taking life, it gave it instead. Ullion would live to see another day.
But how long would that be?
Not much else happened that night, at first. The Lamp Maker handed out two more lanterns, and the Banshee left something with the Lamp Maker before she was approached by her beloved Kharis. The woman bared her fangs and tried to sink her teeth into her lover's neck, but . . . nothing seemed to come of it. What had she been trying to do, exactly?
Before anymore drama could unfold, just as the group had nearly reached the gates of the city, they were ambushed. Figures came out of nowhere, binding, gagging, and blindfolding them all as they were dragged away.
When they came to a few hours later, the sun was already high in the sky.
Everyone looked around, but only the Necromancer realized what was happening. He looked up at the figure that watched them from the stands above. They were all in some sort of arena.
As his eyes adjusted to the light, the Necromancer recognized the face that glared back at him.
"Baldassare?" he asked, confused. "What is the meaning of this?"
"You know exactly what this is, dear friend. I suggest you all prepare yourselves. Most of you will be dead in the next few hours."
Superjolt is dead. He was the Shadow.
Wizardman11 is dead. He was a Pawn.
Hopeless Masquerade is dead. He was a Pawn.
