Village of GhostLight
Chapter 3 part two Scarlet Awakening

The Scarlet Knight enters into the next edition room. Drips of water echoed through the room. Her light illuminates cocooned bodies and hanging webs. The light from the beam also filled this room. Looking out through a large opening she saw the ghost light. Turning back she saw the lord and lady sitting on their thrones. They looked ancient and mummified as if they had been drained of life. Until they slowly stood. Their veins glowed with the same color of the ghost light, as did their eyes. Their mouths opened and revealed the same light from within them. The Scarlet Knight put both hands on her sword as they attack her at once. The queen was faster and more violent with two daggers, the king was slower but stronger with his heavy war hammer. The three fought through the throne room.

The Scarlet Knight in a defensive block, pushed against the war hammer and through the lord off balance. The lady jumped from a pillar and the knight sliced her in the air. The lord came back full of wrath but the Scarlet Knight disarmed him by cutting his arms at the elbows. Ad he fell on his knees the Knight cut from the shoulder downward splitting him in half. The lady got back up and charged the Knight. With a cut upward along the chest and down the back of the spine, the lady fell in her charge. The Scarlet Knight than beheaded her.

Exhausted, the Scarlet Knight climbed the steps up the tower. On a balcony, she saw bursts of sum magic getting closer to the cathedral. Looking at the cathedral she saw bursts of lightning and red magic through the stained glass windows.

Inside the cathedral, Izohra holds her ground with her back against the giant glass window. Near the shattered benches the Blood Witch casted her spells. Lightning and blood clashed, the Witch stopped her attack abruptly, freeing her from battle and disorienting the wizard as she used much of her power against nothing but air. When the lighting stopped and Izohra looked around the room and saw nothing. Until ​​she felr a draining of power and a loss of breath. Beneath her, was a red ring of magic.

The Witch rose from a pool of blood on the floor. Izohra began to charge up but as she did she rapidly aged. With a smirk dripping in blood, "You fought valiantly little wizard, but I'm far older. Fighting with honor does not equal a victory." Izohra struggled to speak, "You would have lost, you may have tricked your way over me but my kin will defeat you and all your kind."

The Scarlet Knight entered the cathedral as the Blood Witch absorbed Izorhra's life force. Before the Knight could act the Witch ascended through the open ceiling with a crackling laugh. At the same time Izohra fell into dust.
