Abnegation

To the bone.

        -Percival fights against the animated skeletons, as they circled around him...-

Lora watches in fear, until Wit crawls beside her, she almost screams.. but noticed the white she saw was the demon "HA! Your plan worked!" he exclaims! Lora whispers to him "It wos a mistake! I meant to find the Augite-Tomb...". Wit laughs "Good thing ya found this instead! I already set-up a elaborate lie just now!", she turns toward the paladin... "Will he be okay, though?" she asks. The white demon laughed again "Of course! Skeletons have even less muscle than zombies AND they don't have any brains either! Magic's the only reason they're moving, and even then: they can barely lift their weapons! Once the guy notices they'll get heavy recoild from a hit, he'll finish them easy!". Lora still watches in fear... though somewhat relieved upon hearing this...

Percival himself stared at the group homing in around him: They all had others' bones or old weapons, all ready to tear down  everything covering the paladin's skeleton... The monsters themselves are all covered in fleshy plaque and dust, some still have maybe both or at least one of their eyes, still intact: similar to the mummies, there's no light in them nor any inkling that there's human life that's dragging the body onward... Percival glared at the monstrosities, and suddenly used a spin-attack!! All skeleton's fall backwards, alerting Percival that they were light! Lora turns away as he lunged at one, Wit laughs "He got 'em!!". He then crawls away, Lora notices as he hangs from a stalactite... "Wot are you going to do?" she loudly whispers, Wit explains "Making sure he doesn't get suspicious!".

Percival meanwhile, destroyed the skeletons... Lora turns to notice this, then walks beside him... "Are you alright, Percival" she asks, he replies "Fine... I...". A voice echoes from the ceiling! "Who's there??" Wit yells! Lora looks up: the white demon is the only other person in there, and he was on the ceiling, right? But that came from behind a wall... Percival then yells "Are you the one who contacted the princess of Castiel?!", Wit replies in a less snarky-tone, that demons normally have... "Yes, I'm the one! I was trapped here because I made a stupid mistake, but I can get out, now!". The paladin growls "I'm sure, but: you're trapped here like a idiot! How are we to believe you can protect her? Don't approach her, until I see you for myself!". Wit sneers as he replied "How can I TRUST YOU!!? I wanted to meet the princess alone, but here comes someone else! If I'm betrayed again, it'll only look bad for your kingdom!", Percival starts to ready his blade, when Lora stands next to him "Maybe he has his reasons? Let's trust him for now.. IF he is a good fighter, we should be able to get back to Castiel with him being able to care for himself: plus, you can protect me, right?" she asks. The paladin glares at her then looks up at the wall where the voice came from "Come with us, as she said! We'll see you in the light of day: and see who can be trusted!" he yelled, Wit tries not to laugh as he sternly replies "Fine! Let's leave: you first, the I'll see if you're to be trusted and if I can complete my deal with the princess!". Percival quickly turns away from the wall "Come Princess!" he says as he angrily walked away: taking orders from what could be a assassin was something he did not want to do...
