Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

The creatures that appeared in view were nothing like Belle had seen before. All this while she had seen nothing but shadows of the spirits and the death reapers who wore the hooded cloak but this one, they looked like actual dead corpses who were alive. The creature was skeleton but it had facial expressions.
There were more than five then turned to ten and then to fifteen and Belle gulped. The face, legs, and hands were too lean and they wore robes that looked ragged almost green and black in color.
"Mighouls," Lucas introduced them to Belle who had her eyes turn wide, "They are one level higher compared to the spirits. They feed on lost souls."
Belle was in the land of the dead, strolling, that had called them to her. The Mighouls screamed so loud like a banshee that was trying to gather the dead around the Adams mansion and that is exactly what happened.
"How do you fight these?" Belle asked as they approached.
