The Last Oddetsey

[kodster]

Looking justifiably concerned, Sally asks "What was that about? Now we are here, do you think you can remove the rift from me?"

The Witch let out an audible sigh. Great... please don't tell me I have to do this right now... "Yeah alright, give me a second," muttered Eudial. She was sure at least one of the others had looked at her in some confusion. "You can stop giving me patronizing glances, you know," Eudial retorted blindly. "After that moonfox or whatever decided to not snack on me, I was thinking: Even if the rift wasn't coming from that Titanicman guy, how do we know it wasn't that Mecha clone of his, or something more sinister? We'd need some sort of weird-ass spell to conjure it from... like, whatever it was. Because it's not like anybody can just remove rift sources from people, especially considering people are too afraid to even get near them. Sooooo... I went back to town for a bit. Oh yeah, I spotted Khloe in the church again, but she didn't really say anything," Eudial added conversationally. "so, that weapon store... I found a bookstore a few blocks from that and picked up... this."

With that, Eudial hauled a somewhat large book out and flipped open a few pages. "This wasn't easy to find. But apparently there's some sort of charm in here that can draw out - ah!" Eudial spotted it. "Alright here it is. Hold on..."

She noted the reporter's further trepidation. Ungh... cowardice. I hate dealing with this. Viluy is better in these situations than I am... "Hold still, this'll only take a moment..." muttered Eudial. I hope.

She pressed her index finger to the reporter's forehead and muttered a few words. And...

All of a sudden, the book in her arm pretty much EXPLODED. Eudial shrieked as she went flying across the room and landed heavily on the floor. "Aaaaagh...!" What the hell was that?! She could feel her arm had nearly been blown off... the only assumption she was able to make was that her own powers had prevented further harm to her.

She managed to stagger up. "Wha... wh-what happened... why did that..." she stumbled over words wildly. Then she realized. "Hey, what happened to Sally?!"
