“Yea?” Asks Volka as she leans in with curiosity plastered all over her face, “Whatcha’ thinkin’, flash?”
Again, you’re no magic meister, you begin, weighing your words as they carefully come out of your mouth, but Rezzie was able to sniff out this demon from miles away, right?
“Yep!” Nods the hellion with pride, “It’s how I tracked <span class="mu-i">you</span> down too! Once whatever was hiding this thing went down, that is!”
“Good to know the Skyrail’s almost demon-proof…” Mutters TT under her breath.
The scent only went away… or, well, <span class="mu-i">changed</span>, you continue, <span class="mu-i">AFTER</span> Rezzie tried to cast her spell!
“Think something happened while she was konked out?” TT asks, tilting her head to the side.
That’s one theory, you reply with a soft ‘<span class="mu-i">heh!</span>’ and a smile! But there’s another possibility: Rezalith’s spell might have messed with the demon too!
“It’s not impossible…” The Durher replies with a few swishes of her tail. “Spell malfunctions can be pretty nasty… and unpredictable at the best of times!”
“Mhm! Used ta’ know a mage who fat-fingered a spell once!” Adds Volka as she laughs at the story she’s about to tell! “Made his voice squeakier than a Durher kit’s! Permanently!” Her smile droops. “... He WAS a Durher, though, so it wasn’t really <span class="mu-i">that</span> weird, but… but y’know…”
Rez, you continue, what spell was she trying to cast anyways? The devil shrugs.
“Nothing special–Old Bones said something about it being a <span class="mu-r">GHASTLY WAIL</span> or something? Spooks people, especially the dumb ones.” A toothy grin creeps onto her face. “Hey, lemme try it on you!”
Y-YIKES!
“Problem is,” Sighs the Spinner next to you, “Is that there’s really no telling what a spell failure is gonna look like. You could cast the most innocuous spell ever and it could conjure… I dunno, a giant <span class="mu-r">TZERG</span> or something.”
“D-don’t even <span class="mu-s">JOKE</span> about that, T!” Sputters Volka as she casts a wary glance around the cabin! “They… they can’t live on land, right?”
The Spinner shrugs. “Dunno! Pretty spooky though, riiiight?”
“Y-yikes!”
Can we stop saying ‘<span class="mu-i">YIKES</span>’ and think for a minute here!?
“You <span class="mu-i">started</span> it…” Mutters Rezalith as she impatiently scratches the arm of her chair.
Doubling back to your first theory, you huff, could there have been anyone else out there with the same idea as Rezzie?
>CONTD.
