Ruko Vol.1

Chapter 9.

“It’s a “Reverie Ghost” that took snow. She had a nightmare and the ghost took advantage of that. Reverie Ghosts are easy to abolish with cave salts but they can be very tricky if one has a weak & vulnerable mind. She had fake visions of something or… possibly someone she longs for or pine, that’s why. And clearly the ghost have led her to it’s layer. Reverie Ghosts preys upon souls that are lased with sorrow and misery. Mostly.” Kirt gives of details about snows abductor.

There could have been any other reason why the ghost took her. But clearly I know the reason why. And it’s quite shocking to be honest.

“Do you think that there could have been some significant reason why it preyed on her? I sort of over heard your conversation hours ago, what was it about?" Kirt asked.
In which I told him the truth.

Now, this disaster wouldn’t have happened if the compass was functioning properly.
Dysfunctional compasses are one of the traits given by the red moon. You heard that correctly, it manipulates it.
As we step out of the ship, Kirt, upon realization, just figures out why we are in way more danger than anything right now.
Do know that we could have landed in any parts of the map to settle on, but somehow, in some-kind of one in a million bad luck,
We landed in the most dangerous part of the lands.
And it goes by the name of Conjure Peaks. home to one of the most ravenous and unmerciful beings to have ever inhabited Hylas.

“Alright, …Non of you are going to like this, but, if we don’t get her back by sun rise she will be nothing but a husk of dead flesh, and ruby, if you really do wish to rescue your friend then… You have to fight for it. WE! Have to fight for her. Do you understand?” Kirt said.
“Well… what are we up against?” Bridgit asked.

“Yellow eye hounds”, “mire ghouls” and snows predator, “reverie ghosts”. Are the names of what we’re up against. I turn to look at Bridgit and she stares at me with a face that either spells distress or sorry. For me?

“You know, I think I need to get something.” She says.

It was an unnerving situation but I immediately heed on Kirts terms.
I’m ready to fight for her. My… best friend.
I don’t know what I’m jumping in to.

Bridgit came back from inside the ship all armored up and handed us two pairs as well, “put that on and wait here, there’s more.” She said.

We put on the armor, received extra dressings and prepared our selves. It was a little hustle for me but I believe I did it right, as Kirt suggested.
It’s quite a surprise that the armors nearly fit our torsos and limbs, but however the helmets weren’t, In fact they were loose, but nonetheless I still decided to wear it.

After a few minutes went by, Bridgit came back holding two recognizable objects, they’re guns, six shooters to be exact, all of which has salt rock rounds instead of the usual steal rounds, and the other one is a military styled belt bag that contains two distinctive items; rounds for the revolver, which are very limited, and 6 yellow torch flares.
As for kirt, he prefers magic.

I looked away from kirt in order to do my knee piece only to see Kirt carving a long piece of stick.

"Where did you get that?" I asked. In which he quietly points at a half-dead around the area.

"Is that all you need to do you... magic?"

“Oh don’t worry about that. I had 5 years of magic education. this would be enough. …I hope.”

“Oh… 5…”

Kirt previously elaborated further about his magic in regards to how it looks like and how it happens. “light magic”, that’s what he calls his specialty. But generally speaking; how Mage’s magic is, is that it technically came from there knowledge and training, and when that’s all said and done the result is you’ll be able to lunch orbs of energy which can be either lethal or non, right out of your own two hands.
But that’s just one of many kinds of magic mages can do, and they can surely do more. They just need something called a “Rune Cube” In order to temporarily inhabit the powers them selves. It also dispenses powdery materials that smelled awfully strange.
To give an example: Kirt called me and snow for a little surprise while we where chilling on the inner deck up to the top deck of the ship. He demonstrated to us a spell that made him shoot light-orbs out of his hands. He draws something in the air and hum goes a mist of light heading towards the skies, and then finally it goes poof after a few seconds.
