Tick Tock Tact

The envisioned movement to castigate the traitors seemed to be working because almost everyone has got a lot to take in after weeks of waiting to capture the traitors, a wrath waiting to happen soonest if not apprehended and a distress to the clan which would cause dilemma for everyone. But the master shouldn't be disobeyed because his wrath would be worse; Many great veterans have turned into myths because of master, their stories now appear like a tale of the night told to children who can easily agree to almost everything because if they were strong as story portrays, then they wouldn't have gone the way they did. Well, the story of the master when he was operational with a body on earth is enough to put fear into anyone that dares to cross him, he singlehandedly took a four continents and darkness took a face before the deep of lightness. His story can only be read not told because ghosts and demons flee at the mention of his name. It was really unfortunate that he was sealed off and his host body destroyed, his spirit strength weakened and was cast down to purgatory, the question no one dared to ask or the question in the lips of everyone which they cannot utter is '' who did that to the master? ''

Well Lucy knew these stories even before she got ravaged by anger and left the clan, she knew that if someone can push the master back to the purgatory, then she can too but to do that she need to find her freedom first and to find the freedom she was be alive and hopeful that her friends would come through for her.

Zyana and Seduction got to the grave yard, '' quite skimpy region for burials'' Seduction thought to herself, they are faced with over 50 graves to check and they have less than an hour to find the right grave. The grave yard was quite calm and noozy yet very noisy for demons like Zyana and Seduction to pick up trails of lurking souls and restless souls. Zyana and seduction where quite scared and careful before they meet one of the most dangerous demons called '' soul eaters '', those demons are not of like passion, they don't mingle with other demons because they are considered to be introvertedly dangerous. They would kill anyone or anything that sees them because they believe the eyes that sees, equally has a mouth to tell so even before you could tell, they will end your life from earthly existence. They don't recognize other demons, the only voice they hear and get scared is the voice of one who sent them to the earth and that voice belongs to the master. Rumor has it that they eat once a day and their meal time is always at night when they believe no one would visit the graveyard, so many times when there are noises coming from the grave yard, chances are that the restless souls are dodging from the soul eaters.

Zyana and Seduction went to different directions so as to make it easier for themselves, they where at the 38 grave when they spotted movements from a nearby grave so they hid themselves again. Zyana passed out fear because she does not know to call upon to help her if something bad starts to happen, she can't call on the master because she has a serious fall out with master and she can't call on any other god to help her either since she dedicated her life serving the master, they can't run either because that would make it easier for the soul eaters to notice their presence and rumour has it that you can never outrun the soul eaters. Possibly that's why the restless souls shout at night because they cannot outrun the soul eaters, to crown it all you cannot use your powers on them because it wouldn't work on them, they are considered to be the first protectors of the master before master was banished so they were formed with one of the strangest yet mysterious power of the master right here on earth solemn.

They closed their eyes because they could make a plea if been caught by the soul eaters that they did not see them with their eye, that way they cannot talk about what they did not see, but after a while they discovered that the soul eaters seemed to have gone to other places, they came out quickly and started searching again. They got to the 42 grave and they saw markings instead of a name, Seduction has seen those markings before but she was sure that was the grave they were looking for, so they started digging. With Zyana's power they were able to dig faster until they got to the body they were looking for. They tore the body apart, well the body has melted to bones and remains, they found nothing. They saw many belongings as projected by myths but the last element they were looking for seemed to be missing. Time was ticking, tick tack tock and Lucy's final execution would happen soon. Zyana and Seduction have to find the element before they uncover that they had escaped prison, which would obviously make things messier than they hoped. So they decided to dig even further, maybe it was buried before the body was buried on top of it.

Shiva and Death have died many times out of fear, Shiva would look at the legion called death and imagine if Death could actually die?. They had been chased by bee illusions, they had been caught up by ghosts that cannot hurt but looks scary, they had avoided the mirror of reflection to avoid been seen by the master, and they had searched everywhere for the element but could not see it. Death remembered that the best place to keep something from been found is beside that which their deepest fear detests, so he decided to find a way around the mirror of reflection. The mirror rotates every minute and it has an eye like that of an owl, the rotation is like that of owl rotating its head at every slightest sound, so Shiva and Death observed this and went in when the mirror turned its face towards other directions. They found the element covered in thick mud and dust and they decided to take it and run before the mirror rotates its head. The moment Shiva picked it up, the building started shaking and all the ghosts started running into the mirror, the foundation of the building was shaking and they had to run away from the house before it collapses, just then the master screamed from the mirror and they ran. They got outside and sent a red signal which alerted Zyana and Seduction that has been digging for long, they both started running back towards the location they agreed to meet. On the flip side, the master appeared angrily to the clan and notified them that the prisoners are loose ends.
