Castle of the dead 1

"Well you will get into a lot of scary situations"

I showed him the details of my first mission and his face turned pale.

" YOU HAVE TO FIGHT GHOSTS !!" Rochio was on the verge of fainting. The wagon almost went out of control but I managed to pull the horses back " careful! and read it fully you idiot"

The contents of the mission

The region near the castle of the first empress of olian is believed to be haunted. Your mission is to scout the area and collect data if it is haunted. inform the H.Q . back up would be sent. After backup arrives try to negotiate with the ghosts. if they refuse to cooperate, exorcise the spirits.

" I don't have to fight, just scout the region." it was a very funny reaction. He was relieved and also scared at the same time.it took us 2 days to reach the castle.

I stood in front of the castle with Chun, on my shoulder. It's a massive structure that is perfect for ghosts. The ground is covered in rubles and withered plants. There was a pathway made with stone plates attached. How this castle would have looked in its prime! too bad it was abandoned after the massacre of the first empress and her 7 lovers.

I opened the old rusty gate of the castle and walked in. I called Rochio out and said " Chun and I are staying the night here. You can go to the nearest town." Rochio looked at me with concern. Along with maybe some anger then he said, "Are you CRAZY ? or just brave !?..... you know What?, you're Both!. So to watch over you, I am coming with you." how? Just how can he say that when he's on the verge of fainting Again! But little did I know. Him coming along would lead to one of the most important encounters of his life.

We walked into the castle full of rodents, no signs of ghosts…. Yet. We went to the very top of the castle, with still no signs of ghosts. we would find out if there are any spirits here, tonight.

That night we slept as usual. At least I did. This was not the case for Rochio however, he was in total fear and poor Chun who became his cuddling pillow got squeezed by him. In other words, I was the only one who slept at all.

Rochio and Chun were both wide awake for different reasons. The blanket that wrapped rochio and Chun, was pulled away slowly " YOU IDIOT WIL WAKE UP!!!" Chun was screaming telepathically. I didn't hear her. I was busy dreaming of sleeping.

Rochio was hugged from his back " Wil! it's not funny please tell me it's a prank and go back to sleep" a gust of wind opened the window, letting moonlight in/ revealing the person hugging Rochio " `` sorry sweetie, but this no prank and I am no wil."

" aaahhhhh" Rochio and Chun were running around, causing a huge ruckus. it was all fine until….. Rochio stepped on my face. To this, I finally woke up. Only to see a female sprite in front of me.

This sprite is very good-looking. Why are they scared?. She looks like an adventurer based on the way she is dressed. That makes it easier " miss allow me to introduce myself, court adventurer William at your service." I greeted and she greeted me back.

" I am called Gracia, a former adventurer. Although I am dead, how may I help you?" she gave me a warm smile as she finished talking.

" Please inform the ghost chef of this castle, that me and another court adventurer, would come to meet them. Also, why is the castle so empty? I expected to see way more sprites"

" of course! you only saw the outhouse, of the castle!" so this huge castle, we are in is just the out House !!
