It has been nonstop action since rockstar Aleda was suddenly woken up by the skeleton Acton, concerning some sort of danger that may or may not involve the necromancer Amathyst. A strange being--a spectre, perhaps, has been tracking and chasing them. For a while now, the rockstar and the skeleton have been fleeing through a forest, and causing as much delay as possible for the hostile one following them. The skeleton knew the way to Amathyst's crypt, so the rockstar followed from behind--always only mere steps away...

for the undead it is not hard at all to keep in a constant none ending march for when they don't ahev to deal with the trivial matters like food, energy and muscle mass being pushed past their tearing limits. So every once in a while Acton is forced to slow down to a more catch-up able jog so that aleda is pushed past limits that'll bring to a early awkward grave. sooo uhhh, do you need some knowledge about what's chasing after us? Or is it fine to be left in the darkness of knowledge void?

The undead surely have their advantages! The rockstar couldn't help but admire the exceptional pacing of the skeleton. One could almost say, the skeleton was more alive now than in... well... actual life. If the rockstar didn't spend some of his free time in exercise, especially martial arts, he probably, would have, indeed, ended up in an early grave. For now though... there was danger to keep ahead of, and a necromancer to check up on. Well...
The rockstar muttered under his breath while still keeping attempting to keep up pace with the skeleton... Tell me about the asshole chasing us. Or, whatever other info there is!

Well I know nothing about their past life so my knowledge is limited to only a summary of a wraith. They are spectral beings who use a physical artifical form to effect us, so because of this they like to have a vessel which is near flexible as they are. If we are to fight it then it is imperative that we cause damage that destroy the cloth because it can't be physically killed, only destroyed to the point that is null effective in the moral realm. So use fire and lots of it!
Acton stops suddenly, his skull shooting glances in all the directions he can see in the darkness~ for a moment it could be almost pictured the two of you are lost until he points at a tree and starts running once more past it
16:36:56
Got it! So, basically it's an asshole that can't take the heat! Fire and shit! Good to know!
The rockstar grumbled his response in between breaths as him and the skeleton continued their way into the forest. At some point, they come to a stop. The rockstar almost wants to yell "WHAT THE FUCK?" out really loud at this apparent interruption in movement, but he feels relieved once the skeleton navigates them proper once again. So, if I can cause a fire with lightning, that would help us out, right?
16:42:18

I would definitely hope so! Just make sure to absolutely not miss under any circumstances please!
For a second time he stops to look for another tree that is almost uncannily so familiar to the previous one that you can swear that even down to the positioning of the leaves, branches and even moss itself growing on the bark that they absolutely one in the same.
16:47:09
As the skeleton inspects a particular tree, which looks almost similar to the previous one, the rockstar glances back every now and then just to make sure the coast is clear. Another tree with a similar look? Perhaps this is a pattern to follow that will help lead to the necromancer's crypt? Noticing the apparent pattern, the rockstar can't help but comment on it... Man... did Amathyst purposefully set these trees up like this? I have no idea if she's trying to be clever or funny, or both, sometimes...
16:53:04
Bot/Gelöscht
That she did, it's a an exact copy of the first one we passed by, so as long as we keep passing these particular trees in the direction of their longest branch.
he points at a certain tree which is exactly the same as the previous two, it's longest branch is pointed north east, so along you both go in the vague direction of northeast. just remember though, they aren't exactly in the most precise position so it's mostly janky and kinda a muscle memory for us, so don't get lost or we struggle to find it.
16:59:24
That's why I'm following you, skeleton dude!
The rockstar continues to follow the skeleton through every twist and turn, as directed, by the special trees. I'm surprised she thought this far ahead. She seemed to be fond of simply teleporting around in the past...
It was a light hearted attempt, on the rockstar's part, to inject humor into their less than cheerful situation...
17:05:48
Bot/Gelöscht
Oh she still does, these trees were planted and sculpted by us for our own use, we sadly don't have the best of memories and the simple mindless drones of us do need a little help when it comes to getting from point-A to to point-B.
by the forth tree you can see a little dirt path pressed into the ground, there is no grass or even leaves atop, only dry brown dusty dirt that has been walked on for possibly hundreds of years. good news, umm.. Only 6 more to go and then we're home safe.
17:14:31
Well, at least you're all unionized, right?
The rockstar stifles a laugh while still following the skeleton's movements. Eventually, they reach a dirt path that seems like it's been used quite frequently over time. The quick pace must've messed with the rockstar's head just a tiny bit--coupled with a few thoughts of Amathyst, as he thought he heard something else when the skeleton spoke... Sex? OH! Six! My bad. Must be all this running shit. And thinking about Ama as well...
17:20:54
Bot/Gelöscht
Do you need a break? It would be very bad for us both if you faint on me, it'll be a awkward conversation with her.
the chuckle is bad with how forced and ungenuine it is at his own attempt of humour oh and umm.. We are definitely unionised, what's a union though? Like a bunch of fellows like Bones and others from the late 19th and 20th century talk about them but is it exactly?
17:25:28
Bot/Gelöscht
*what
17:25:33
The rockstar takes a few deep breaths before responding. He probably could've gone further, considering the situation and all, but if he could take a few moments to rest, that would also be nice, truth be told. But, can we even spare a few moments? That asshole is probably still after us, right?
With a shrug, the rockstar continues Talking about unions will take up a lot of time, which we don't have right now! Ama brings them up a lot though.
A chuckle comes out from the rockstar as he catches his breath
17:30:22

*A simple shrug and he carries on on the trek~for a few moments at the back of your mind does it think that just maybe the two of you may even just escaped spectre, but this notion is shattered when it's blue robes are there in front of the tree, but it should be more accurate to say that it's a tree on fire, it's branches cut cleanly down off to the base to be added to the flame on a small pile surrounding it.*uh huh.. Oh no.. Nonono that's.. Not.. Fair.. Not fair at all!?
17:37:15

this crude mimic of a human's body stands in front of the blaze, it's sickle blade so milky white in colour that the moon is able to reflect light so strong that your own reflection is caught along the curved body, it hovers there not even moving but there is no excuse to claim it doesn't notice you both~for while it has no face, there is most certainly a mask it wears that beams a forever smiling grin of gold and pearls
17:43:45
W-WHAT?
The rockstar stares in disbelief at the sight before him. Not only is the spectre there, but the tree was apparently one of the important trees pointing the way as well. Ah, shit! Unfortunately, this seems more of an appropriate time to flee rather than figure out the proper direction. Skeleton dude! What's your call?
To buy them some time, the rockstar snaps his fingers, and his guitar, strapped to his back, glows and unleashes numerous lethal high voltage lightning bolts that form a thick electrical wall between them and the spectre. The last time he had to use such a defensive technique, this often, was on the battlefield some time ago, but since then, his lightning has gotten stronger... thanks to a contract with a certain Mean Girl named Kaylie in the recent past! Surely, this lightning will, at the very least, stun the spectre just enough for the duo to figure out their next move.
17:45:53
Bot/Gelöscht
It rises slowly in the air till only the smoke and burning husk Is behind it, when the electrical wall is put between it simply hovers to the wall where its blade cuts a slow sadistic hole into the space that it occupies~the electric that was cut out as if a solid object only closes in on itself. More and more does it cut off, keeping it's sole gold eye fixated on just aleda, and only aleda.
17:50:27
Bot/Gelöscht
Acton in his moment of deep panic devises a simple plan, he picks up aleda as If a cat and simple runs off in a different direction then the spectre is facing. Needless to say it could be mostly certainly improved but for now it will do in simply putting distance between you three
17:52:50
H-hey!
The rockstar was focused on the spectre as it slowly cut through his electrical barrier, but then he lets out an audible complaint as he is whisked away by the skeleton. With his head still turned toward the spectre's general direction, he closes his hand into a fist, and every single lightning bolt that formed the electrical barrier lunges into the spectre. From the distance, an explosion that sounds like a tornado and train colliding is heard, and the shockwave is such, that it reaches the duo--the resulting strong wind--possibly propels the skeleton to move faster EAT SHIT! YOU BITCH!
It was something the rockstar had to yell out loud in the direction of the explosion due to frustration. Now how can they find their way?
17:59:34
Bot/Gelöscht
It's hard to call it a propeled forward when it brings Acton crashing down into a ditch he could not avoid, the two of you fall in with a stumble tumble against rocks and exposed tree roots. He's the first to rise up and heavy use of old English words that you can be absolutely certain are just very colourful swears with excessive amount of descriptions of all kinds.
18:04:55
The last few seconds were a blur, but when the rockstar comes to his senses, he realizes that they are now in a ditch. He rubs his head from the slightly rough fall Shit... that asshole got one... maybe more... of the trees we were supposed to follow...
Listening to the skeleton's words--which sound like older variations of certain curse words--almost makes the rockstar want to laugh. Almost. Instead, he slams a fist into the ground Dammit! What the hell do we do now?
18:10:32
Bot/Gelöscht
acton throws his cloak over you, it's a couple sizes too large but it covers from head to toe, taking your slammed fist he pulls you up before pulling over to a stich wall on the right I can get you out of here and buy you needed time, so listen to me very carefully. I need you to run in a straight line parallel to the tree. Got it?
18:15:45
The rockstar finds himself wrapped in the skeleton's cloak. After being helped up and listening to the skeleton's directions, he blinks and tilts his head You want me to basically run to that same tree... that the asshole destroyed?
He sighs Well... I'm sure Ama chose you for a reason, and I trust her judgment. Well, let's go, skeleton dude!
The rockstar extends a fist bump to the skeleton before proceeding to run in the planned direction
18:25:39
Bot/Gelöscht
NO, I WANT YOU TO RUN OPPOSITE TO TREE! Keep it on your left till it vanishes from sight, got it?
he mimics a explosion at the fist pump before turning away and shout out "SPECTRE, FACE ME YOU COWARD, FIGHT ME~ACTON OF OLD ENGLAND!"

Floating down to meet the skeleton, mask to skull, mace to sickle, it is a lone silent stare of what remains of the old world, existing on as ghosts and undead bone forced past their expiration. It is hard to say struck the other first, but the noise of distract metal clashing and biting at one another is distinctive to the ears of all. For only one shall this ditch of the mortal world
18:37:06
With Acton's cloak flowing against the wind, the rockstar runs full speed ahead. Luckily, he heard Acton's instructions before he made it too far, and corrected his direction accordingly. With a determination that few can rival, the rockstar simply keeps running. Even after hearing Acton's loud verbal challenge to the spectre, he keeps running. Even after he hears the distant sounds of a fierce battle, he keeps running. There it is... the remains of the tree--some of the surrounding area a chaotic mess as well due to the rockstar's explosive attack a little earlier. Just run... and never stop moving until the crypt--the necromancer is reached. Run. Move. Live for her...
