The room we were in was tiny and im pretty sure its getting warmer even though we were the only two in here. She has been staring directly into my eyes for the past 10 minutes as I tried to explain everything that has happened to me over the past couple months. Of course I omitted the parts about the gods and my divinity, making sure to leave Malady out of it too. She stared at me with a look that told me she didnt beleive a word I was saying.

I finally finished and she still had that look on her face, But then she looked to the side for a second in thought.

"You said as you fled the warehouse it was on fire?" She asked.

"Yeah, it was on fire and this big ass thing was screaming behind me."

She moved around some papers that were in front of her and pulled out what looks like a report. She read the details then passed it to me.

"Is this the warehouse that you were in?"

I looked at the paper which was a drawing of a warehouse with some writing underneath that stated where it was exactly and the details on its use. Apparently it was abandoned years ago because of some affliction that affected everyone that entered the building. Eventually they just stopped using it and left the goods inside to rot. This was definitely the same warehouse.

"Yep, thats it."

She immediately sat up and left the room. I could hear someone yelling from the other side of the door and boots stomping about. Maybe she beleived me after all and just had a bad case of resting bitch face. The yelling didnt stop even when she came back into the room. She sat back down and started asking more questions which didnt stop until a couple hours later. She finally stood up and gathered the papers together, leaving me alone in the room which was now about as hot as a sauna. The woman that was questioning me wasnt sweating or reacting to it in anyways so it must be some sort of interrogation thing. It wasnt ten minutes later that someone else came in the room with guards and took me back to the cell. The man with the guards told me that they would verify my story and then if I was telling the truth then they would let me go. As he left I overheard him telling the guards to get ready because they were about to got alot more prisoners.

I made sure to tell them about the big ass creature that was there so they should prepare accordingly. They wouldnt be stupid enough to attack without considering that. Right?

Lamis woke up in her bed, sweating. She sat up and looked around her room, it was really hot in here. She looked over the side of the bed and checked the small switch on the side. The heater that was built into the bed was turned on, Lamis never turns this heater on because it makes the room too hot. She got up and went to the bathroom to wash the sweat off. She passed by Finch's room, but noticed that the door was slightly open and she could taste something odd in the air. She looked into the room to see her sister in the bed tightly hugging the blankets. Lamis knows that when her sister is not sleeping in her bed she goes around stacking stuff. But she also knows that she shouldnt be sneaking into her guests beds while they are sleeping. So Lamis opened the door completely to see that Finch and all his stuff was gone. The little lamia girl checked the other rooms but Malady and Vylet was still there. Why would Finch leave without them?

She was very curious but then she realized she could taste her own sweat and continued to the bathroom to wash herself. She would ask them and her sister about it when they woke up.

The warehouse was buzzing with activity as they prepared their final sacrifices. Securing them to the floor on either side of a large cauldron, all of which was inside a massive circle drawn in blood on the floor. The members of the mad guild were busy reinforcing the doors and blocking any holes in the wall. They knew they were going to be under attack soon and were preparing to last as long as they could, they needed this ritual to be completed. If this ritual was completed they might finally be free. They were almost ready to start and they could not afford to be interupted so they were taking extra precautions. They had even caught some extra people as hostages when they need them. The oldest of them was sitting and preparing something, he was pushing all of his mana into a small crystal. He stopped when he started feeling sick, absorbed some more mana and started injecting it again.

He did this many times before he was satisfied and got up with his now cloudy gray crystal. He walking over to the monstrocity chained to the floor and looked into its eyes. That made it angry, it roared at him and he just tossed the crystal into its mouth. It was caught unaware and ended up swallowing it, which ended up angering it more. The man just chuckled and walked away. His mutated body creaking as he walked through his rushing subordinates which gave him a wide berth. Last time one of them bumped into him they ended up impaling themselves on a growth from his abdomen. You cant really tell through his robes but he actually had really sharp growths and out of place bones that could kill someone if he ever tried to give someone a hug, not like he ever would though.

After a long time their plans were coming to fruition, this ritual is something they have been researching and preparing for since they became the mad guild. They werent going to let anyone stop them.
