The Summoning of a Multi-ghoul

Flashback

AN: I just wanted to give a quick heads up, there will be description of blood later on, if you're sensitive to this please don't read <3

"Come on. Hurry up already." A rather angry sounding voice echoes through the corridors of the clergy. The Quintessence-ghoul who it belongs to walking hasty, the clacking of his shoes echoing from the walls, shortly followed by another pair of shoes and a smaller Water-ghoul, a slight jingle sound coming from him due to the chain that is attached to the side of his uniform, showcasing his name.

"I'm not as fast as you, Omega!" Chain protests with a groan and an eye roll while jogging to catch up to the other. "And if it wasn't for Gamma, we wouldn't be late now. So don't take your frustration out on me." He huffs while falling into a quick walk next to Omega.

"It was your responsibility to make sure he doesn't sleep in the greenhouse again. So it is your fault, not his." The Quintessence-ghoul replies while shooting the shorter a glare.

Chain stays quiet and moves his head to the side a bit to avoid eye contact. It was true. Yesterday was his turn to make sure the Earth-ghoul gets to bed and doesn't sleep in the greenhouse. But the Water-ghoul got too caught up in his books and notes, causing him to fall asleep at his desk and now have a black ink stain on his right cheek, which is surprisingly visible against his dark green bluish skin.

"I know, I'm sorry.." He mutters as the two Ghouls turn a corner into a different corridor, to which Omega just sighs and shakes his head in response. "Why do we even have rehearsal at 8 am. on a Saturday?" The Water-ghoul grumbles under his breath, earning him a rather harsh nudge into his side by Omega's elbow.

"Because it is so." The taller Ghoul replies as he looks at Chin with an annoyed expression. "I think they summoned yet another Ghoul, which is why they want us out of the corridors and the Ghoul den."

The Water-ghoul stays quiet at that, his eyes staying on the floor as he walks as fast as possible to try and keep up with Omega.

Why are they doing this.. what do they hope to get from it..? I mean, most of the ones they summon get sent back to the pit just a few days later.. So why summon new ones and waste our resources..?

Chain asks himself, almost walking past the rehearsal room if Omega hadn't grabbed the collar of his uniform and pulled him into the room. He has always found it strange that more Ghouls and Ghoulletts got summoned once the other four and him all have already been summoned and got assigned to serve the front man, Nihil, and later his Sons, and do whenever they get told to, due to the binding spell that got put on them. So when they started to summon more Ghouls and Ghoulletts, which shortly after all disappeared once again, all getting sent back into the pit.. or at least that's what Chain gets told. He grew more interested in that matter. He started to ask himself: "why do they summon other Ghouls?", "What could they possibly want with them?" or "why do most of them get sent back to the pit so early after getting summoned, to the point where sometimes they aren't even here for a day?"

It was all a big riddle for him, one that he wanted to solve. But for that, he would need to be able to speak to a newly summoned Ghoul for more than just a few days before that Ghoul gets sent back, which will be pretty hard since a lot of the newly summoned ones keep to themselves and are too afraid to speak with those in the already existing pack.

"Chain? Are you okay?"

Nihil's voice and the hand he feels placed on his shoulder rip the Water-ghoul out of his thoughts. His head snaps towards the front man, and he nods quickly while his tail twitches once. "Y-yea, yea! I'm okay, why are you asking?"

"Oh.. you've just been staring at your bass without saying anything or moving." The taller man replies with a small chuckle while giving a few pats on the Ghoul's shoulder. "Did you not sleep well?" He asks as he steps away from Chain, quickly pointing at his own cheek where the Ghoul has the ink stain.
