A cold chill follows... Abruptly.

"Hold your ground! Arumu! We have more important business to attend too now..." The lich-hiss echoed almost as painfully as a Fellbeast?s screech, causing the three others to cringe almost in fear. The Twins spun and their palms extended out to aim out towards the intruder ? conversely, shadow arms gripping at their outstretched palms had sent them hurtling forward with a strong tug and a violent thud upon the ground with their bodies soon after.
The moving skeletal remains of what had happened during the Back Alley had now returned, and just in time it appeared... If she were but a few minutes later the Twins would have sauntered off to another part of Rhy'Din looking for a man she knew where to be now.

Aru lifted up her head and moved to hold her wrist, upon her knees with wide eyes as she stared upon her Mistress whom was now completely stripped of flesh and muscle.

"Mm! ... Mistress?!" Mu was quick to stand as she finally realized who the intruder was - the glowing pentagram carving upon the bone of the forehead a dead give away.

"What happened?"

"Your flesh! It?s gone ? who did this?" Mu?s hands settled upon boned shoulder, removing what little tendons clung pathetically to her undead body.

"Silence!" Lucy?s boned back hand struck Mu roughly across the chin, dispelling from touch and sending her stumbling back with a hand plastered to the area hit.
?It is time... Things have happened and the situation has changed ? the promise was fulfilled?? Lucy made her way up to her throne, turning, and sitting down with a rattle of bones, just as Aru had gathered herself up from the floor.

?What do you mean?? The Black Haired uttered pathetically

Mina?s head dropped for the moment as she seemed to fall into a silent withdraw, her mind?s eye searching out from the Edge of the continent and now inwards to the City. And, as if it had all made sense she spoke with as much confidence as she could muster with that ghoulish and hellish coarse manner.

?The Queen, our Master and the Doll had engaged the enemies in a heated battle? It? It appeared to be a stalemate; but things were not what they seem? Right, my Queen??

?We won the skirmish. However long it look,? Lucy stated, matter of factly as the skull and it?s empty sockets slowly panned the Black Monk ridden walls that seem to move and squirm at such a news of a possible ?War.? They had been waiting too long for this moment.

Aru and Mu?s lips curved into a sickening grin, ?Then Jewell is dead??

?No. Beaten? We have proved ourselves that we are just not mere nuisances that can be stamped out by someone like my Father or, Jewell for that matter.? Lucy seemed to chuckle ? her teeth clattered together and the joints of her jaw creaked like the old bones of an ancient Lich, her laughter just grew into a childish and dark giggle.
?And now it?s time to wipe out the nest?? Erratically she stood with a push from the arms of the throne and looked over head to the hanging Mina, her feet hovering meters above Lucy?s head.
?Send word to Alex and the Doll. If they wish to witness the outcome then? Let them know they are invited. It will be quite a show.?

The Twins glanced to each other more than confused at what was going on ? for they were out of the loop and needed to be briefed.

?? Then where do we march too if Jewell is defeated??

?How many of us will we take?? Mu offered timidly while still rubbing that now painfully bruised chin, still unsure if it was a right time to strike as boldly as the Mistress wanted. However Lucy wandered slowly away from the steps of the Alter past the Twins, and away from her stoned Throne. A pause before the Throne Room?s doorless entrance, and then she pointed off at both walls far from either side of her with extended skeletal hands, the chains that held the Black Monks loosening and dropping the Army to the ground, one-by-one, filling up the Throne Room slowly with a mass of moving hoods and cloaks.

Mina stayed fixed to the ceiling.

?? You are taking the whole Army, my Queen?? A lifting of her head ? white frizzled and dry hair parting from the undead Catgirl?s rotting face.

?Is that necessary, Mistress?? Aru and Mu chimed together, ?You have us to look after you??

Moving through the slowly gathering Black Monks wandering aimlessly and lifelessly about the Hall? Their lifeless undead groans a ghostly reminder that they were once humans, Lucy came to stop before the large white ring ? which was the Portal constructed for instantaneous travel by Renna, the Betrayer so long ago? The very one she used to escape into the Great Deserts of the Southern Continent

?You two have disappointed me as of late with your attack on the Doll? You may come and watch but will not engage in the fun yourselves unless we meet opposition?? A glare of eyeless sockets sent back to them? ?Today the House of Ravenlock falls into ruins by its own family??

Renna would have been proud if she were here to see this.
