Valentino Manor

[Cannibalistic Teddy Bears]

[[ Remember? Tandug has the butterfly effect curse and wind powers. I just brought Tandug so he could blow the house down after everyone escaped. Didn't you say you were keeping James? If he's too much of a burdon of a character just pass him off to me, his death would affect Alice too much. ]]

As the undertow kept dragging shadow demons away, Mintis quickly made her way through the manor and up the stairs, she jogged down the hall and scanned the doorways for Tabatha and James. As she got to their door, she raised her hand towards them with her palm open, a bubble formed around Tabatha and pulled the mermaid from James's arms, it filled with water shortly after and floated over to Mintis, "Havencrest is under attack, not just the lake." she said, looking back down the hall, staying alert.

(He isn't, I just thought it would be coincidental that him and Alice both were cursed by the butterfly affect, I thought maybe Rin could cure him, but nvm.)

"Get somewhere safe." James said to both Mintis and Tabitha. James walked down the hallway, turning into his bedroom, he pulled two water-proof duffle bags from underneathe his bed, he unzipped them, walking over to his closet, he opened it, pullying out some nice suits that where wraped in dry cleaner bags, he layed them in the bag, he took the rest of his clothes, walking back to his bed, and stuffying them in. He zipped it up, he threw it over his shoulder, and took the other bag. James walked over to his bed, heaving it over. He kneeld down on the ground next to the wall below his window, he gently pushed his hand against the wall, and a small cube vanished, revealing a safe, he put in the combination, unzipping his bag, he began to pile all the shilings, and the shilling bills into his bag, all of the money equalling over twenty million, the rest of his riches, knowing that he would have to buy a new house wherever he was going. He had heard of a warp gate from one of the crew workers who hellped build his mansion, he knew that would be the best bet to escape. He slung the money bag over his shoulder, walking back over to his closet. James was a pacifist, but that didn't mean he didn't have weapons on hand, he wouldn't kill anything that didn't need to be, but whatever was attacking the town, and his house, needed to go. He pushed over the stray hangers in his closet, going to the back wall, he placed his hand against the wall, it vanishing and revealing shelves filled with weapons, he picked up his holsters, strapping them to his belt. He picked up his two dual pistols, and ammo, loading them, he stuck them into the holsters, and put the spare ammo in his pocket. He picked up a sheathe, strapping it to him, he took out a sword, it was plane silver, with a shilver hilt, he sheathed it, looking around his room, mentally saying goodbye.

(I didn't have James go back out on purpose, figured to let Tabitha and Mintis to leave first.)

[[ We don't have enough time for another fight, just have him hack and slash while he runs. auto hit, auto kill, puppet shadow demons, all except tandug. ]]

Mintis started down the hallway, the undertow she created in the lake was draining her energy, she ran down the steps with the water transport she created for Tabatha following close behind her. Tabatha quickly went out the door and stopped on the warf. One enemy managed to make it to the house. One that didn't have to swim, Tandug. Mintis made a small gyser rocket from the lake at Tandug as she turned and ran down the warf.

Tandug swiftly avoided it by flapping his wings, directing it back at Mintis.

Mintis got swpet off her feet and blown halfway across the lake before the gyser died down, she landed roughly in the water and had a moment of vertigo before realising she was on her back floating on the water's surface.

Tabatha watched Mintis get launched across the lake, the water orb that contained Tabatha gently floated towards Mintis, "Mintis!" she called out, turning around in the water to look at Tandug from afar.

Mintis blinked her eyes to try to regain her blurred vision, it was powerful enough to compare to being hit by a truck. She lost her control over the undertow, letting the group of shadow demons continue their approach on the house underwater. Mintis shakily placed her palm on the surface of the water and pulled herself from the lake's water once she was able to see, she stood up on the water and began to run to the shore, "I'll be fine.." she said, shaking her head for a moment. She got to the shore and ran into the forest, going towards the city.

The water transport the mermaid known as Tabatha was kept in floated alongside Mintis, "Where are we going?" she asked, looking back at the house, worried for James.

Mintis ran through the woods, approaching the city, "Warp spire tower." she simply replied.

James ran for the window that was above the warf, smashing threw it, he landed on the warf, managing not to get hurt, he ran down the warf, firing off one of his pistols, and hacking with his sword, he knew of another way out of the fairie forest, that didn't evolve going down the lake, James, ran threw the woods, hacking at some of the shadow demons, and firing at others, he seemed to be slow, he hadn't run in awhile, and his running wasn't as great as any other vampires, he droped his holsters on the ground, aloung with his bags and his sheathe, he morphed into a large raven, picking his stuff up with tailons, he began to sore over the lake, one good thing about his clothes, was that they morphed with him, giving his feathers diffrent shades of colors, he saw the Warp Spire Tower not to far off, and flapped viciously in the air, being careful not to drop anything.

Tandug began to flutter his wings, the wind got stronger as he flapped his little butterfly wings. The house began to rock back and forth in a struggle with the wind, but Tandug was much too powerful for the home, with one final flick of his wings the wind picked up viciously, a strong gust of wind tore the home in two, sending the top half crashing into the trees and crumbling away, and the bottom half flipped over completely in the water. The group of shadow demons dragged the home below the surface, destroying it.

Felicity stood at the end of the warf, the long out reached walk down to the sunken manor hung losely, lopsided to one side, hanging on to a loose nail. "If I want a map of this town before it was made, my guess, it would be down there, the boy was rich, if I could recall, and liked collecting maps." Felicity said to herself. Taking a step back, she sucked in a deep breath, shot into the air about seven feet, and charge dived into the water, with a loud plunge, Felicity was totally consumed in darkness. That's when, lanterns flicked on, and a mermaid swam past her. Felicity jumped, not expecting the half fish, human, hybrid. It was easy to locate the bottom half of the manor, Felicity swam easily, diving again into the manor. Fish had begun to inhabbitate the area, making homes, Felicity thought of boiling them alive, but knew she had no time, soon, she would run out of air, and she needed that book of maps. Felicity swam fast into the broken glass doors to the small library, the books had toppled over, and thats when Felicity saw a small lock box, still sitting upon a high shelf. Felicity swam fast, picking the lock up in her hands, and crushing it with strong force, the lock smashed in half, and Felicity opened the box, quickly skimming through everything, then, finding her goal, a large book, simply titled maps across it. Felicity smiled, and then swam for the surface.

"Catacombs?" Felicity asked herself, skimming through the pages, but still, the one page kept drawing her back. Apparently, beneath the basment of Price Manor, were old temple and catacombs of the orginal Havencrest. Only problem was, digging was required, and no one, even Felicity, liked digging. "If I need to dig to get answers, then so be it." Felicity decide eventually. Shaking her wings dry, and walking towards the forest.
