Episode 23: THE PUPPETRESS

A being with a black cloak and long greenish hair walked happily around the forest, humming a creepy melody together with her ravens.

???: "I saw the little man I ought to kill one day,

He now harbor a weakness and I'll beat him this way,

He loves a certain spirit and I'll take her away,

Oi, that sounds like a plan! Right that down! Okay?

Eeeek! I'm so excited to break his heart,

Use it down, use it down, to tear him apart!

Kill his little princess before his eyes,

Then make him cry a little, before he dies!

Oi! I can't help but laugh of how stupid he is!

A long time ago we fought, but not like this!

He doesn't show a weakness, he doesn't even grin!

To love a girl more than himself, is yet his biggest sin...

So take out my puppets, and make them come alive!

Get ready for the biggest, revenge of my life!

He took my wings and cursed me with his very strong eyes,

Now I shall punish him, and he shall never rise!

Let the thunder laugh, and the rain pour its tears!

Humility will soon bow his very head, to none other than me!

For now I knew what, could be his biggest fear!

Oh, mama, if only this...you can finally see...

Oi I can't help but laugh of how stupid he is!

To me to have mercy? Oh no, he wish...(laughs)

Break me down once, and I'll never forget...

To mess with me, is a thing you'll surely regret...

So tomorrow is the day, I'll take one of your friends,

To tell me where the girl you love is, oh my!

And soon you'll come to me, ignorantly to defend,

And then I'll use her against you, to die! To die!

And soon...oh soon...that will be your end..."

...

HARRY: *while strolling in the woods overheard a lady sing a song*

At first he was laughing because she sounds like a lunatic with a voice of a frog. But after his friend's name was mentioned he shook in fear.

HARRY: Damn, she really is a maniac! I need to stop her...I'll warn him!

But as he was about to step out of the scene, greenish hands that came out of the ground held his legs. He soon was paralyzed by the grotesque look of the entity. A witch like creature with yellowish eyes, gleaming in the moonlight and smiling like a devil.

???: You really thought you could escape my lovely ravens, perched in the tree, hm? You stink of Humility, is he your friend?

HARRY: You'll never...ever get him!

???: Well, seems like you're a tough nut. So, where is this Carrie?

Harry transforms into a cat and was loosened by the hands. He ran down as fast as he could but the ravens turned into hounds to run after him.

He frowned and used a big amount of his flare to turn into a wolf. Driving the hounds away.

The puppeteer released her puppet. A girl with cyan eyes and black raven hair, with white highlights. She wore a black dress, and her eyes even though beautiful, seems lifeless.

???: Behold my finest possession. A human spirit...

HARRY: A lost soul?!

???: Oh right...a lost soul indeed... Can you fight her?

HARRY: Well...you bet I can!

???: This poor girl...was killed by his drunk boyfriend's driving...and drowned to her death. Such a pity, hm?

HARRY: You don't have to tell me that, you know? And I believe that even if we value souls the most, we are allowed to distinguish anything that would endanger more lives. So...bring it on!

???: You're too cocky...

Foxxy awakens and turns into a big black fox, with wings and poison filled claws.

HARRY: Well, I think I need to level up too...

Harry decided to unleash his 5-year worth of flare, to turn into a big white dragon.

Even if he's bigger the fox was undeniably faster and was enabled to scratch him. Even as he wounded the fox, it kept healing. Because of the amulet that the puppeteer possesses. Their fight was long and tiring, even Harry, a usually energetic and fierce reaper, felt the need to rest. He decided to fight back to the ground. That's when he decided to ask the puppeteer about the amulet.

HARRY: Where did you find such thing?

???: Well, well...after I was defeated by Humility, I decided to travel and steal one of the devils' three treasured secrets... The amulet of healing. It was the last treasure they managed to keep, the devils were too dumb...they believed me easily... And with this...I'm sure to defeat you too. I know that with this, the devils can't touch me. They can't detect someone with such protection. And with this also, your friends won't be able to detect you. This amulet sure covers up our scent.

HARRY: *frowns and breathes fire*

The fox was pushed to a far distance.

Harry smiles, though he knew his flare was almost gone.

HARRY: If ever...Humility comes...I'll be sure...he'll kick your butt for the second time...

???: Mmm...you're already too weak.

HARRY: *attempts to scratch the puppeteer* *falls down before even touching her face, due to severe injuries and the poison that serves as a sleeping drug*

???: Mmm...as I said...this time, I won't lose. I guess since you were able to make my fox pant, I'll just use you as bait instead. I'm sure Humility would still mind...

CONGRATULATIONS FOR REACHING THIS FAR!
