The Psyche

As the two escape, Alex still can’t believe that his grandpa is died, been killed by a vampire, this is all very fast and can’t accept the fact that this is really happening to him. The voice of Cattusia awakes him in his state of shock.

“Cattusia;
“Alex, Alex? Are you okay, Alex where is the next Guardian? Alex!?

“Alex;
“They killed grandpa, they killed grandpa!
I can’t do this; I don’t think I can do this. (Falling on his knees)

“Cattusia;
“Alex what are you talking about? Alex can you hear me?
Snap at of it, Alex you fool.

“Alex;
“They Killed Grandpa! The only family I have. How come you are still calm about it, you just don’t understand what am I feeling right now Cattusia, leave me alone, I won’t do this anymore so called Gate keeper.

“Cattusia; (Slap Alex)
“You Selfish kid, have you just forgotten all your grandpa taught you? Yes your right I don’t understand what you’re feeling right now, but what do you think your grandpa would feel if you don’t continue your destiny as the Gate Keeper, what’s the worth of him dying for Alex!? You think of that. This is not about you anymore or for your grandpa this is about the world and the people you care. You saw what those Minions did, it will be lot more worst that than if you stop now. This is your destiny now Alex, embrace it.

“Alex;
“I’ m Sorry I just don’t know,

“Cattusia;
“Stop Alex, you don’t have to explain yourself let’s just focus to find the other Guardians and awake them. Okay, For Grandpa!

“Alex;
“And for the Humanity,

“Cattusia; (Smiles)
“For the world,

“Alex;
“When I tried early to locate the other Guardian, I sense it is just near the city, more like a subway?

“Cattusia;
“A Subway?

“Alex;
“yes at the main station, there’s a tunnel where the next Guardian is sleeping.

“Cattusia;
“Okay then let’s go.

“Alex;
“What about Lantis?

“Cattusia;
“He’ll follow, don’t worry about him.

The two of them move to the city to awake the next Guardian, little they don’t know they are being followed by wolves of Mr. Wails, meanwhile back at the Mausoleum. Lilith tries to awaken his brother from the trauma he accepts from the magic of Lantis.

“Lilith;
“Brother, Brother

“Mr. Wails;
“You dim-witted kids, that’s what happens to you when you don’t think, for you this is all one big games.

“Draco; (aching and trying to stand)
“We are not kids, we will prove to our lord Satan we can kill those Guardians and serve the head of the Gate Keeper to our master.

“Mr. Wails;
“Imprudent child, you can’t even stand on your own, we have a deal Mr. Draco did you forget about it, mind as well die.

“Draco;
“We can kill them; we just need to regenerate ourselves first.

“Mr. Wails;
“No more chance fools, you given the Keeper chance to awaken the Witch and escape, both of you our incompetence. Doesn’t deserve to be a Minion of our lord Satan, Die!

Mr. Wails morph into his wolf form to attack the sibling vampires, but Lilith grabs his brother, and flew to escapes Mr. Wails’ claws.

“Mr. Wails;
“Thou shall not escape the wrath of werewolves, you vampires!
(Then Howl)

Meanwhile Alex and Cattusia arrive at the said train station.

“Alex;
“There, in there the next Guardian sleep,

“Cattusia;
“Okay let’s go, but we have to hurry until the next train comes.

“Alex;
“Yah, I know, you don’t have to tell me that. Wait how can we go down there?
It’s locked and rusted.

“CAttusia;
“Live that to me my keeper.

Cattusia then morph in a small rat to enter a hole and open the door behind. When the door open, they both hurriedly get down the stair where Alex, sense the next Guardian

“Alex;
Here, this wall I can feel, I can feel her mind like talking to me?

“Cattusia;
This mean the Guardian Llandra lies in here.

“Alex;
Who?

“Cattusia;
Llandra’s power is telepathy.
Please move aside Keeper.

Cattusia draw her umbrella, and use it to smash the bricks. Revealing a wood coffin, Cattusia open the casket, after opening Cattusia quickly step aside so that Alex can start to revive Llandra.

“Alex;
“Suscitatio thee,
“Curator of Olympus,
“Per meus cruor erigo quod habito inter nos,
“Servo vestri custodis; commodo vestri ops pugna thy malum,
“Suscitatio thy Curator,
“Quod Servo thy altissimus.

A slick dressed woman appears after Alex said the spell and shared his blood. Alex then introduces himself. Llandra bow and recognize him as the new Gate Keeper.

“Cattusia;
“Nice to see you again Llandra,
“Okay Alex Three Guardians one more to go.

"Llandra;
“Pleasure is all mine to serve thy highest, and you keeper!
“Wait you said three where is the other one?

Cattusia;
“Lantis will follow, we been already attacked by the minions he left himself to distract the Vampires to awaken you. So we must hurry, Alex can you locate where is the last Guardian?

Llandra;
“Wait before you do that could we just get out here first smells someone died here or something.

“Alex;
“Oh okay.

As they climb down the steeled stairs and narrow way, they could hear outside the doorway screaming of people. As they open the door they were shock on the scene, they saw 4 werewolves ravaging and eating train passengers.

“Alex;
“What the fuck!

“Llandra;
“Minions, they are servant of Wails, I think they followed you here, through your scent.

“Werewolf I; (stop eating the civilian body because he sniffs something else)
“Sniff Sniff, Howl!

Then turn in to the direction of the Gate Keeper group. The Werewolf Howl for his other group of wolves, as if communicating that he saw the Keeper and the Guardians.

“Cattusia;
“This is inevitable we have to fight.

“Llandra:
“Hide their Keeper. Let’s go!

Cattusia draw her umbrella and then attack the nearest werewolf, as one werewolf tries to jump her, she throw her umbrella into the mouth of the werewolf instantly killing it, her right hand holding a whip whisk another werewolf snapping its neck while Llandra just draw her flute and play a eerie song focusing on one of the werewolf, she then control its mind to attack the other werewolves.

“Llandra;
“We have to go I can sense Wail is just near, it will be hard for us to fight him here. Cattusia get the Keeper I’ll try to hold my mind control to this one werewolf to attack its own group. Hurry!

“Cattusia;
“I understand, Keeper come up let’s go

“Mr. Wails;
“Greeting Guardians, and the pleasure is all mine to meet the new Keeper

Mr. Wails then grab the werewolf who Llandra was controlling and break its neck.

“Mr. Wails;
“Long time no see Llandra, care to try that trick on me?

“Llandra;
“Cattusia, guess our hands will get dirty this early.

“Mr. Wails;
“Eat them! But left the Keeper to me
“Hoowls!

The Three remaining werewolf simultaneously attack the two Guardians, Llandra draw her flute and morph into two daggers, while Cattusia get her umbrella that was stuck into the mouth of one of the werewolf she just killed.

“Cattusia;
“Ready, Llandra?

“Llandra;
“I believe that there’s nothing I can do about it if I’m not.

Llandra with her dagger use it like baton fight the first werewolf who jump her, slicing the head and front left foot of it. At the same time as Cattusia attack the two remaining werewolf servants with her umbrella, throwing it to glide in air, one of the wolf was slice in its body while the other one evade it that give a chance to soar on Llandra crushing them both on floor while biting Llandra on her left shoulder, holding her down and still, if Llandra tries to move nor struggle the bite of the wolf gets more deeper.

“Llandra;
“Get off me you low level Demon, aaaaaaaahh!

“Alex;
“Llandra!
“Cattusia help Llandra

“Cattusia;
“Llandra!

As Cattusia turn her back to help Llandra, she didn’t notice that the other wolf who she thinks she slice in its body is still alive, jump her at back, which made them fall at the railway. Living the Keeper unprotected. As Cattusia struggles, she shouts for the Keeper to escape.

“Alex;
“Oh fuck Cattusia get off the trail, a train my come anytime soon

“Cattusia;
“Run Keeper run.

“Mr. Wails;
“I believe there no escaping now Keeper.
It’s you and me now, no Guardian to protect you now, come serenely, you don’t want those set of tiny arms of yours be just one, wont you?

“Lantis;
“I beg to disagree Mr. Wails, there is still one Guardian that is also awaken
“Argentum elementum

A sharp silver spear emits from a portal that appears to the wall that hit Mr. Wails in its left shoulder, supposedly Lantis is trying to hit her heart, while coming out of the white portal, but Mr. Wails’ instinct is very good with that kind of attack.

“Mr. Wails;
“You pathetic Witch you think I’m that easy to be killed by your frail spell, haven’t you learn anything, my instinct is the fastest of all Minions and that includes you Guardians.

“Lantis;
“Let’s test that Mr. Wails.
“Argentum Telum

Two ball of silver light appears from the right and left hand of Lantis, and then continuously emits silver spears, targeting the wolves harassing Cattusia and Llandra, which made the two Guardians free. When Mr. Wails tries to move to at least attack, Lantis warn him not to move, while aiming at Mr. Wails, but the left hand of Lantis starts to shivers making the ball of silver light begun to fade and vanish, at the same time Lantis nose starts to bleed, Cattusia, Llandra and Mr. Wails notice it. The other two Guardians know that Lantis magic is getting worn out, Mr. Wails quickly jump the Keeper while maneuvering the magic of Lantis.

“Lantis;
“Wails don’t you move a muscle

“Mr. Wails;
“If you can keep up with me

“Lantis;
“Cattusia, Llandra protect the keeper!


“Cattusia and Llandra;
“Got it

As Mr. Wail’s continuous to evade the magic of Lantis, the other two Guardians tries to block Mr. Wails, but his strength is so great that he just ram the two Guardians sending them out of the way. As soon as he jumps to rage the Keeper, Lantis still able to create portal which suck Mr. Wails then Lantis Re-appear him on the railway of the subway, which coincidentally a train comes which hits Mr. Wails.

“Lantis; (Waving his right hand)
“Speculum Prodigium Patefacio
(Waving his left hand at the direction on the railway)
“Speculum Prodigium Redeo

Lantis fall on his knees; Cattusia and Llandra help him out but really lost his consciousness because of exhaustion and usage of his magic.
