The customers gathered their pocket change, and Sully smirked, if only they knew. The bartender grabbed her hand as he pour alcohol to disinfect the wound. She hissed as she looked at him her eyes no longer blue but a bright red. She looked at Kai, and then to the man. He leaned forward as he whispered into her ear while looking at her friend, he nudged his head hinting her of whom he was about to speak about and by reflex Sully shifted her weight to face the now surrounded Kairi whom seem to be praised with gold pieces granted to her by the customers.
"Your friend" He began, "As been plagued by the black curse, though she is an expert fighter I do recommend you keep a close eye on her, much more evil is on its way, and as for you" He poured more alcohol into her open wound, causing Sully to hiss. "You're not safe with her, part ways with her as fast as you can" and with that said, the older man bandaged her hand, and walked away returning to his duties of serving drunks and cleaning dishes. Sully was left confused, and she kept her now blue eyes on Kai. She shook the thought off as she returned to her partner with a calm smile now seen on her face. Though his words rang like a doorbell inside her mind, constantly repeating the same tune, she wasn't going to let herself worry yet.
"Hey, you going to keep showering ye'self in gold lets go!"

Kai gathered up as much gold as she could, bowing to the kind people. "Thank you. Thank you all so much. We must be going now, we have more beasts to battle, more towns to rid of evil. Your generosity will go to food and shelter for the next few days. Thank you all so much." With a final bow, she turned and exited the bar. She continuously flipped one gold coin in her hand, a grin on her face. She then looked over at Sully. "So, what did that bartender say? You two seemed to be canoodling." she teased.

"Nothing only that we we're selfish mongolions!"
Sully stated as she looked off to the distance, she was a good liar, saved her from many beatings when she was a child. She looked at Kai and smiled and shrugged the thought away as she looked off to the the distance, to the center of Treset was the Halloween Kingdom of Dark Springs, and just on its outskirts was the home of the vampires they had just slain, along with the pumpkin cemetary, and the great warrior temple. She wanted to go to its kingdom, maybe they had the information they both needed to get on with this adventure, and Sully now found herself with another worry, the black curse that the older man had mentioned earlier. She laced a friendly arm around Kairi's waster as she brought the silver haired woman closer, pointing the blood diamond end of her staff to their next location, and soon parted her lips yet again to speak.
"The Kingdom of Dark Springs' So much information there, and so little time before sunrise let us go!"

Kai stopped a second, placing her hands over her wounds. "Wow, they sure got me good. Ugh, those bastards. I can't let them do that again." Humour danced in her eyes and she pulled her hands away. Her wounds didn't seem as bad as earlier. She glanced around, then up at the sky, then turned to Sully. "What? You afraid of the sun now?" she teased. "You know, I thought Vampires feared sunlight, not Blood Mages. But if we must find shelter before day break, might as well just stay here." she added with a sigh.

Sully released a laugh as she looked at Kai, nudging her shoulder shaking her head. She was oblivious, the black curse would plague her soon, all she needed to do was get to Dark Springs before day break. She sighed as she brushed her red hair back and looked at her with a calm smile and began to walk, she didn't know how to respond to Kai, it was like talking to herself. Only lies parted her lips, she didn't want to make her friend know the truth...not now, Dark Spring's had the cure. She knew if this talk delayed them, they'd never get there on time. She dragged one foot after another, and soon she began to walk.
"We'll walk through the Pumpkin Cemetary, and get to Dark Springs I want a midnight stroll under the full moon, are you not in?"

Kai shook her head. "Alright, a stroll under the full moon it is. I'm just glad no one was badly hurt by those jerks. I can't wait to see the look on Kraven's face when I tear him to pieces." She howled with laughter, slapping her knee. "I love messing with Vampires." She wiped a tear from her eye and shook her head, sighing. Her mother had been a Vampiric Noblewoman in Esfrodante. Her father was a human. And somehow, she was conceived. A child of two worlds, not really belonging to either of them. Her caretaker, Lord Dante, had cared for her over her years as a small child after her parents had both died. And when she got old enough, he left. He left no word of his reasons, or if he would ever return, so Kai left as well. She began to venture through Esfrodante, then eventually left. And one day, she ran into Sully and the two have been inseparable since.

The night was growing more intense but as they strolled along, they've finally reached their destination. The atmospher was haunting and many of the decorations of this town, was dark and frighening. People ran around with costumes and masks covering their faces. Sully scratched the back of her head as the wind grew colder, Sully read numerous business signs as she released a loud sigh.
"Now to find an oracle"

Kai was slightly confused. "An Oracle? What do we need with an Oracle? You worried about your future or something? Dude, since when do you care? Come on, let's go have some fun!!" Kai turned and started off towards the Pumpkin Cemetery, then froze. A sharp chill ran down her spine. Something didn't feel right. She glanced around, and the colors began to swirl together. "Whoa.." she breathed. She reached out for something to support her, and unknowingly found a shoulder. She leaned against a body, shaking her head. What the hell's wrong with me? I've been bitten by plenty of Vampires. This shouldn't... Her thoughts cut off as she groaned audibly. Don't fear it, my Love. It's better to just let it happen. Don't fight and it won't hurt. Come with me, I'll make it all better. Strong arms gently coiled around her waist. Kai tried to pull herself away, but just as quickly as it all happened, it all disappeared. She stood in the middle of the street, people staring at her with concern. She felt a tug on her shirt and looked down to see a little boy staring up at her with big violet eyes. "Are you okay, Lady?" he asked. Kai smiled as best she could and nodded. "I'm fine, thanks..." She turned and sought out Sully, still holding her head. "I forgot how trippy this town is."

"Kai, Kai," Sully cried out as she nudged her lightly, once she came too Sully felt relieved. She grabbed her hand as she spoke: "We have to hurry"

Kai's head spun as Sully dragged her along. "Whoa, dude, slow down. Really, I'm fine. I just haven't eaten in a while. And I've lost quite a bit of blood... Instead of working me like a maniac, can I rest and eat? I mean I know I'm half Vampire, but I'm still half Human. I'm not invincible yet." Humor gleamed in her eyes. Yes, stop and rest a while. You will feel much better in the morning. The voice was familiar, beckoning to her, enveloping her in it's velvety warmth. "Yea, can't we go in the morning? I'm really not feeling good. I think..." She then looked her friend in the eye. "Sully... What's happening to me?" Colors swirled together once again.

Sully's face bore a slight hint of worry as Kai heard the voices that lingered her mind. The blood mage neared the girl as she shook her shoulder lightly, She didn't know how to act, she would lose Kai for good if she didn't act fast. By day break, she'd already fall into Kraven's spell. She couldn't afford to lose her companion, not now. It was a matter of time now, and the towns oracle was the only person she knew who had enough information to help her out. She hung her head for a moment until Kai's voice broke pass her thoughts.
"Sully... What's happening to me?"
What was she suppose to say, she was through with hiding her thoughts. Lying could go so far until your best friend begs and pleas without a clue what's going on. She was scared she could see it hanging on her now confused face. Sully looked up to the moon as she swallowed hard. A full moon that always towered over Dark Spring well until sunrise. She looked at her companion and began to speak yet again.
"You've been cast with the black plague, what you've been attacked by was a vampire eater, one of the most vile and darkest vampires in Treset, the only place you'll ever find them is on this continent. By day time, you'll be nothing more than his puppet, the curse is already started"

From Sully's explanation, only bits sunk in. Black plague... Vampire Eater... Puppet by day break... "How... How do we stop it?"she croaked. She fought to focus her eyes, and gave her friend a hard, stern look. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? I wouldn't have goofed off. Don't you think this is considered one of those 'need-to-know-things'?" She glanced at the skyline, panic now striking her. "We should hurry, where to??"

"I was trying to tell you, but panicking isn't something I wanted to happen therefore; I kinda hid it until we got here so that way after my explanation settles in maybe, just maybe you can explain to my friend what's wrong"
Sully's face flushed, she was embaressed by her statement it wasn't a reasonable one but the man they were about to see was one in which she found hard to get along with, for personal reasons of course. None in which she felt highly comfortable in sharing with of course. With a hard swallow Sully forced out a smile and turned her body facing East, as she pointed to an awkward looking hut. It was shaped like an over sized pumpkin. It read oracle within its heavy writing and Sully nudged Kai's shoulder hinting for her to go inside.
"You can go in at any time you know"
The pumpkin doors opened, revealing a red headed man that appeared like Sully, his eyes sparkled blue and he looked at the woman which was Sully bolting towards her in a heart beat, with the only words escaping his lips.
"SISTER!"

Confused, and feeling a little frustrated, Kai smacked the man before he could reach Sully. "Hey, you! I need your he--" Her sentence cut short as her knees buckled. She held her head a moment, then shook it violently. "Vampire eater, black plague... No time. Please." she panted, looking at him through squinted eyes. "Help me."

The man fell back, knocked off his feet, as he stumbled a couple of footsteps back. He stood up as he looked at the woman, he was about to protest, unfortunately, before he had that chance the woman began to tremble and fall into shock. The man jumped into action as he placed a soft hand onto her shoulder, and began to speak. His eyes digging deeply into hers. Not in a intimate way, just able to make her acknowledge that he was there to help her out. He was, he brought to her feet and in a hushed voice he began to speak. His voice was calm and comforting, he hoped that it was enough to allow her to trust him.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, I just want you to know that I'm here for you"
