Wish 9: Dark Mist Arises

Iroha tossed and turned on the ship to a nightmare as Astral noticed her tossing and turning before floating down to her and shaking her shoulder as she trembled. "Iroha?" He called out as he tried to shake her awake.

(Begin Nightmare)

Iroha stood on a pillar holding tight to the bars as Astral managed to damaged 96 in a duel but only to hear something coming at her as she managed to turn as the blade swung at her as she gasped when it came at her before-.

(End Nightmare)

Iroha shot up from the bed all sweaty and panting before slowing her breathes down before looking to Astral who was hugging her close to him as she hugged him back as he pulled away and looked at her with worryful eyes before she kissed his forehead.

"It's alright, it was just a nightmare." She said before he smiled and left to check on the others, Iroha walked over to her pile of clothes and began dressing into a yellow blouse with a baby blue bow on the front, a short black skirt and knee high white and light pink striped stockings with light brown knee high boots.

To complete the look, she put on a jean jacket as she nodded at her reflection before feeling the turbulence throw her around before she held onto the chair Yuma was supposed to sit in as she saw Yuma flying all over and rolling into the walls of the ship as she sighed and grabbed his hand to stop him from flying all over the place.

~~~Mokyu~~~

Half the castle remains standing, and if Vector were human he would fear for the stability of it. He blows the front door open and 96 breezes in. Vector makes to follow, but as soon as he puts one foot in the threshold, a sensation unlike anything he's ever felt takes hold of him.

Vector freezes. Every hair on his body stands on end, his breath freezes in his lungs, and every cell in the human body of his screams at him to flee, as far and as fast and as desperately as he can—

"Scared of the dark?" 96 calls.

Vector snaps out of his stupor. He steps into the castle and follows 96, trying to remain outwardly calm while his thoughts spin out of control.

"This place is delicious," 96 coos, "Full of suffering human spirits." He laughs, "Humans build history atop history, ignoring the ghosts buried below them."

Vector doesn't respond, but when they arrive at a branch of tunnels and 96 asks where they should go, his body moves without his brain telling it to, going to a tunnel that leads to a secret room.

"Have you been here before?" 96 asks.

Vector shrugs. "How should I know? I don't remember all the centuries," he says vaguely. His palms are starting to sweat. He hopes they leave soon.

~~~Mokyu~~~

Iroha felt like she could throw up from the turbulence as she got out of the ship and ran to a nearby tree and emptied her stomach at the tree before Rio pulled out a bottle of water for her to drink from the amount of vomiting before swiftly recovering from vomiting as they walked up to the old castle ruins.

The ruins of a palace rise above the treeline, jagged and crumbing, half of it is gone. But the damage itself is...creepy. The walls look like a hand has come down from the sky and torn chunks from the old palace. As they jump over a stone bridge that's still standing even though the middle part of it had collapsed, just by looking at it gave Iroha chills and the wind almost felt like it was pulling her in.

Then she sensed some magic in the ruins before hugging herself. "I sense some magic but it's not powerful enough to be a witch or a rumor." She said as they walked inside and being careful of the various traps inside of the place before Rio froze up and began talking blankly.
