This one was different and had a face, but its face was half rotted away with an eye falling out of its socket. It was less than an inch from my face. My nose was almost touching the spot where its nose should have been. It looked at with both eyes, even the one that was dangling down and was just standing there. Even I did not move. I was finding this situation strange.
Hailey, who was behind , seed to not even be breathing, but I did not have ti to turn to look at her. At such close proximity, it was either or the wraith. One of us was going to get hurt at this ti, and it seed to be whoever was the quickest, that is, if it even planned to attack.
Luckily I had my sword already in my hand. I did not plan to let it strike first, so I quickly and swiftly swung my sword up in an arc, slicing it diagonally. It didn’t even flinch or move as the sword sliced through it. It just began to disappear into particles of light. Once it had completely disappeared, I let out a sigh of relief and turned to Hailey, who seed frozen stiff. “Hailey!”
“Ah! Huh!? Where is the ghost!?” Hailey ca back to her senses and began quickly looking left and right, front and back. I am starting to think I should have brought soone else.
“It’s dead. I killed it. Or at least I think I did. It seed too easy. That may have actually been a ghost…” I was unsure since I did not take the ti to use Appraisal on it. It could have been a wraith, a weak one, or it could have been just a ghost. I am unsure.
“Of course, it was a ghost. It was scary and transparent looking and disgusting and….” Hailey kept mumbling her thoughts out loud, but I ignored her. I was thinking about how my sword easily cut through it, and it turned into balls of light. Makes wonder if it was even really dead.
When we reached the basent, I soon found out my answer. Because just as I was about to take a step off the last step the sa thing happened again and it was the sa entity as before. As for Hailey, I think she fainted.
This ti I did not try to kill it but used Appraisal.
[Apparition: Henry Tolbell]
No other information, but I guess an apparition was different from a normal ghost? “You are Henry TolBell?” I asked.
The apparition suddenly floated backward and turned around, and pointed towards the darkness of the room. “Is there sothing there?” I asked. But the apparition did nothing. It just stood there and continued pointing towards the darkness.
I sighed and turned towards Hailey, who seed to have truly fainted. Her eyes were rolled up into the back of her head. I raised my hand and let a bit of lightning fly through the air. ”AZabaabaganababa!”
Hailey’s whole body twitched from the shock I had just given her, and stood there looking all over the place in confusion. When she spotted the apparition again, she almost fainted once more, but this ti I slapped her. “Will you cut it out!? How am I supposed to take you into dungeons if you can not keep your act together!?”
If she continued like this, she was just asking to die. I know people had fears, but ghosts and the like were just a different kind of monster. Hailey lowered her head and slapped her cheeks before raising it again. She looked at with eyes filled with determination which were the sa eyes she had back in the other dungeon. Seeing this made feel relieved. “I am okay,” she said.
I nodded and waved for her to follow. I made a few balls of light to light up the room. As I did, the apparition disappeared, and what was revealed with an empty room. Nothing here except dust and cobwebs. I looked around and walked towards the spot the apparition had been pointing. But it was nothing but a solid stone wall.
“Hmmm… is it because of the light?” I was unsure, but since the apparition disappeared after I used a light spell, maybe the thing it was pointing at also disappeared. With a wave of my hand, I got rid of all light sources except one but dimd it enough to only give the room minimal light. When I did this, a scene filled my eyes. It was this house we were in, from what I could tell. But what shocked the most about what I was seeing was the image of the man that had just walked into the house. It was none other than my father!
I did not dare to look away. I watched as my father walked through the upper floors of the house, finding nothing. He then climbed down the stairs and completely ignored the apparition that appeared. He looked around the basent for a few minutes before scratching his head and leaving. But what I did not get was that it seed more like he was searching for sothing specific. Not like he was searching for any old treasure. But what was he searching for and why?
The scene only began repeating itself after my father walked out of the house. I watched it quite a few tis, but the more I watched it, the fishier things seed. I turned and looked at the apparition and smiled. “Henry Tolbell, thank you.”
At these words, the apparition gave a slight nod before disappearing. It was as if he had only stayed to give this clue. But it was at least a clue. My father did co through this way, but now things seed more confusing than ever. I guess I can only progress further into the dungeon in hopes of figuring it out. What the truth may be, I do not know. For all, I know, he could really have been looking for treasure, but for , it seed like that was not it.
