Do you feel it? The ghostly presence...behind you.
The road she walked was darkened by both the night sky and the shadows who seemingly reached out towards her as if to pull the witch into their own realm. The wind whistled an almost haunting tune as it passed through the trees and the very area of the oh so silent cemetery, Artemis was a fearless and powerful woman who was a perfect candidate for facing those not of this world. She herself had requested something harder than what she had previously achieved as the girl knew that in order to progress with her goals in mental, physical and spiritual strength there would be enemies she would have to face who were mythical beings or otherwise. Accompanying her on the assignment was her trusty throwing knives and the ten bonds who's power radiated within her. "Artemis, was this really necessary? Your power is uncanny, fighting a few zombies is stupid" Came the voice known as Angeline, her concern was for Arty's safety as she believed it was useless. In all honesty she was scared. The witch sighed before she took a break beside a large oak tree with scratch marks all over the bark, she sat down beside it and lay her head thinking to herself for a moment.
It was a long journey from the guild home all the way into the forgotten area called the Silent Lands. She had heard numerous stories of how those who went in never came out or their souls were taken the minute they tried to leave, Artemis wasn't fond of those stories and knew them to be myths. Worked up by stupid lonely idiots who wanted to frighten kids and mages alike, for what reason the girl didn't know. It just annoyed her. Perhaps she'd even go into town and ask around about the Silent Lands to see just who knew their stuff and if she got the wrong answers then sadly they would meet an untimely death. "Hush Angeline, stop pulling Artemis away from her goals. Be wary girl and act fast, never hesitate in the midst of battle" The deep voice of Azreal grumbled. Our onxy haired witch understood Angeline's worries but she had wished that she wouldn't and maybe trust in her abilities as a mage, on the other hand Azreal had always been the voice of power and rage two of which had always pushed Arty harder in most things in life. She shook herself off as she stood up placing a hand on the markings on the tree and studying them for a moment, taking note of the marks the girl kept up her usual pace then sped up down the crackly path before making her way down to overlook a large space surrounded by wooden fences. The secluded cemetery gave off bad spiritual vibes but the girl took nothing off it and hopped off the edge descending down into the desolate area.
Around her smelled like death and decay, a few bones and full body skeletons were scattered across the field as she closed in on the main entrance to the cemetery. "Wait Arty, remember you're supposed to wait for two more wizards...please" Spoke Angeline which had halted Artemis just centimeters from entering, folding her arms she stood near the fence to the left and sat upon it ever so observant she stared into the blackness within the trees awaiting those who deemed themselves ready for such an odd mission. Maybe they could even please the likes of Artemis. Ha. Good one.
