Mansion

"I clearly won that! I'm the farthest ahead!" Noku yelled looking at the two feeling wronged.

"Don't lie I definitely won that! I reached the gate first!" Foren to yelled.

"The both of you are muscle brains I was very clearly was the one who got here first!" Aima chimed in her voice in bone form sounding chilling.

Aima turned to human form while entering the mansion.

After entering the mansion the entire area opened up into a large space, this being the lobby, several chairs and a long night stand on either side of the lobby along with spider silk used as decoration on the nightstands and as covering for the bear carpet making it exceptionally comfy to stand on.

Further in they continued to argue though not forgetting to look around the place, Aima being the exception.

The next room was the dining room to the left of the inner lobby, going through a big door at least two people tall was a long table adorned with spider silk decoration on top of it acting as the mat, the walls lined with the stuffed heads of several different beasts ranging from the smallest rabbit to the biggest bear, all was adorned on these dining room walls.

It was so nice that Noku and Foren both had their breath taken away at practically the same time, the arguing stopping for a brief moment of stunned silence.

"Anyways, I won and that's that." But Aima would not let it stand and just like this the arguing restarted with a jolt as they continued looking about the house.

The next stop was the kitchen, a fairly average kitchen accept for a few modern day things that couldn't be added in such as stoves or microwaves, the kitchen being a primitive look with a fire place and several counters with knives nicely arranged.

These knifes of course were not proper knifes bu rather constructed from the claws of several different beasts that had attempted to invade their territory.

Above the fire pit was the head of a bear with a scar over its left eye.

From here they moved through the side door and out into a side corridor heading straight to the bedrooms on the second floor, passing several storage rooms in between.

There were eight bedrooms in the mansion, the main bedroom is just above the living room, the size of the main bedroom easily three times the size of the normal sized bedrooms, the bed five times the size of a normal bed making it abnormally large able to fit eight to ten humans.

The main bedroom also had two empty head plaques on either side of the bed, this combined with the obscene amount of pillows and silk decor made for a nouveau riche looking room.

"It's amazing." Foren said trailing off in his sentence, his eyes wandering all around the room like a kid who had gotten a state of the art new toy, the stars in his abyss like eyes making for a charming scene.

"So fluffy!" Noku said, pushing his head against the pillows on the bed, his voice ridden with surprise and pleasure.

"Hahahaha! This is the master bedroom and this is where you, masters, will sleep." Aima said, her voice sounding proud yet sincerely happy that they like it.

Finally after barely managing to rip them from the main bedroom Aima took them around the rest of the house, their arguing over who won long forgotten.

The next few bedrooms were nothing special with a single bed fit for two people and a night stand beside it as well as a bucket in the corner.

Next was the living room, the only special thing about it being that it had nothing in it, completely empty, all but one thing.

"Come with me." A slight smile etched on her lips Aima said so reaching our for the only thing in the room, a bookshelf.

"Open." Saying so they put her hand on the bookshelf and poured some soul power into the wood sending the power into the blood on the other side moving the bookshelf to one side at the same time.

The blood acting as gears in a machine the bookshelf quickly opened revealing a tunnel leading down ward, the stairs spacious fit for five people to walk down and still have room to breath.

On either side of the stairs were torches all along the walls, leaving not a single area unlit.

"Aaaaaaa! A secret room! Now THIS is a mansion!" Taking a deep inhale like a fangirl Foren yelled out and started touching around the door examining everything.

"You used the blood to make this possible, your so smart." Not too long later he had completely understood the contraption known as the opening bookshelf, nodding to himself.

"Then let's go and take a look." Moving ahead of everyone else Noku took the lad and started walking down the wide staircase leading far into the ground.

Smilingly Aima nodded, turning into her bone form she started behind Noku.

Two minutes later...

"How much farther Aima?"

"Just a little bit more and we will arrive."

Eight minutes later...

"Aima are you messing with us?"

"No, we are really close."

Twenty minutes later...

"Aima... Are we close yet?"

"We have arrived." Saying so Aima pointed ahead, a grand smile radiating from her.

Quickly spinning their heads forward the now extremely bored Noku and Foren ran forward, their eyes sparkling.

Not a moment later the area opened up in a massive expanse of cave, the area completely flat, torches at every few meters lighting up the perimeters of the cave.

The entire thing would be able the size of one football field in terms of length, the place easily able to accommodate over a hundred people.

At ever few meters stood training dummies made of stone, a weapons rack on the far wall, all sorts of weapons on display.

Each weapon their would be able to rip through a piece of steel armor, since each weapon their was made out of the claws and teeth of invading beasts as well as the over saturation of malice causing changes to them, their aura feeling dark and chilly.

"A practice field? You took us thirty minutes for a practice field?" Noku was the first to react, looking at the almost empty field around him, his eyes heart broken feeling wronged.

"Haaaaaa." Foren simply didn't speak and fell on his back lying on the field like a star, feeling wronged and tired he closed his eyes.

"Hehehe, you've all yet to see the best part." Aima however did not even flinch at their reaction as though she had expected it and rather than feeling down at their lack of enthusiasm her eyes simply showed happiness like having caught prey in a trap.

At her statement Foren opened one eye to look towards her, a strand of hope floating around, Noku on the other hand still had heart broken eyes looking towards Aima, though his slightly wagging tail gave him away.

"Move." Aima said raising her arms and pointing towards one of the stone soldiers, and in the next moment a seemingly harmless black mist escaped her pointed finger and shot into its eyes.

The dummy then twitched.
