***CRASHHHH*** * Went the windows to the downstairs area of the shop. Jolting our three persons awake. Lance was the first to exit his room and make his way to the hall, followed by Abigail and Plaga. The three quietly and carefully made their ways down the stairs. Before reaching the bottom however, Lance stopped and the others did the same. With the help of the moon light, they could make out the figures that were in the shop. Two were Minotaur, the other was a creature cloaked in black. With eyes of all shapes and sizes on its body* "There is nothing here." *Huffed one of the Minotuars.* "↸?リ'ℸ ̣ ᓭℸ ̣ ?!¡. ∴ᒷ ᒲ⚍ᓭℸ ̣ ⎓╎リ↸ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ᓭ⍑ᔑ∷↸ ?ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷∴╎ᓭᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ⍑╎⊣⍑ᒷ∷ ⚍!¡ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ?⚍∷ ⍑ᒷᔑ↸ᓭ." "We will." *The two Minotuars continued their search for the crystal whilst the creature watched them* "They're looking for the crystal!" *Abigail exclaimed only loud enough that Lance and Plaga could hear* "Shard." "Whatever. Point is that they are looking for it." "You're right. And they don't exactly give off friendly vibes." "Ya think Captain obvious?!" *She replied, again only so they could hear* "Hey. Where's the Kleaper?" "Wha- Plaga. Plaga where are you?" *She scanned the area to see where he was. Then she eventually got sight of him. And what was he doing? Sneaking into the library where the shard was stored* "Plaga! What are you doing get back here!" *Abigail demanded as she made her way to the library as well. But it wasn't working. And eventually Plaga exited the library with the shard in his arms. But before he could make it back to the stair well. The Minotuars and creature caught sight of him* "There it is! That Kleaper has it!" "∴ᒷꖎꖎ ↸?リ'ℸ ̣ ᓭℸ ̣ ᔑリ↸ ᔑ∷?⚍リ↸. ⊣ᒷℸ ̣ ╎ℸ ̣ !" *The Minotuars rushed towards Plaga, wielding their dual axes.* "Plaga!" *Cried out Abigail as she tried to intercept the Minotuars. But she wouldn't reach in time, nor would Lance. Abigail was afraid they would kill Plaga as did Lance. But, Plaga didn't plan on allowing them the pleasure.* *Plaga swiftly threw the crystal at one of the Minotuars. It flew directly into the head of it causing it to fall over. The other was surprised at this. And that was when Plaga dashed into him. Driving the Minotuar into the wall and picking up the crystal again* ""⍑-... ⍑?∴ ╎ᓭ ╎ℸ ̣ ᓭ? ᑑ⚍╎ᓵꖌ?"" *The creature exclaimed as the two Minotuars groaned in pain* "That doesn't matter." *Replied the one on the floor, getting back up* "We just need that shard." *Everyone just looked at eachother for a few moments waiting for someone else to make a move. Abigail and Lance tried to approach but Plaga motioned for them to stay back. He had this all under control* "Ugh. I'll finish this." *The Minotuar which was rammed into the wall brandished his axes and charged at Plaga. Before stopping only a few feet away from him. The Minotuar felt a chill run down his spine and turned his gaze downward. A long thin spike like appendage stuck from the front out the back of his chest. Turns out. Plaga done stabbed the Minotuar through his chest with his tail* *The Minotuar then turned his gaze to Plaga.* "He reacted... so... fas..t......" *Plaga removes his tail and the Minotuar collapses dead to the floor. Everyone stares in shock, the other Minotuar and the creature look at Plaga in fear. Lance in disbelief. And Abigail, in all three.* *Within moments the two remaining intruders flee the scene. Leaving the body of their fallen comrade behind. Plaga looks back at Lance and Abigail.* "P-Plaga.. y-you.." *She doesn't even want to finish her sentence.* *Plaga looks at Lance for some sort of reassurance. But finds none. So, Plaga says nothing. Not even a chrip. And heads back up stairs having set down the crystal on a table before leaving to his room... Great... tonight is gonna be a longgggg night...*
(Anyway we iz back with part 4.) [In case you're wondering or care what the eye creature is speaking in. It's Enchantment Table. Just so then you don't gotta translate it yourself. I will: "↸?リ'ℸ ̣ ᓭℸ ̣ ?!¡. ∴ᒷ ᒲ⚍ᓭℸ ̣ ⎓╎リ↸ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ᓭ⍑ᔑ∷↸ ?ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ∷∴╎ᓭᒷ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ⍑╎⊣⍑ᒷ∷ ⚍!¡ ∴╎ꖎꖎ ⍑ᔑ⍊ᒷ ?⚍∷ ⍑ᒷᔑ↸ᓭ" = Don't stop. We must find that shard otherwise the higher up will have our heads "∴ᒷꖎꖎ ↸?リ'ℸ ̣ ᓭℸ ̣ ᔑリ↸ ᔑ∷?⚍リ↸. ⊣ᒷℸ ̣ ╎ℸ ̣ !" = Well don't stand around. Get it! "⍑-... ⍑?∴ ╎ᓭ ╎ℸ ̣ ᓭ? ᑑ⚍╎ᓵꖌ?" = "H-... how is it so quick?"]
